I found these speakers last week, got them from an audiophile who's getting a divorce... the only hits I've gotten on them is that they were, or look a hell of a lot like the early alnico EV Sentry 10" alnicos... they are crazy powerful! By the looks of them they handle over 100 Watts a piece...
i have a pair of 12TRXB incoming. seems the aristocreat is the preferred cabinet for these.
https://products.electrovoice.com/binary/Aristocrat,%20I,%20II,%20and%20III%20EDS.pdf
but theyre corner cabinets, and i wont have a corner to tuck these into any time soon.
so i have 2.5 questions...
Hi all
I have two EV Aristocrat speakers that I acquired separately. One has a 12TRXB in it and the other has a SP12 with a T35 and X36 crossover. I was thinking of making them a matched set. What would be the best way to go? I can find matching components on EBay and can probably sell...
Working at a small auditorium installing a new sound system. In the sound booth they had the mentioned speakers. We replaced them and I asked if I could have them and they said ok.
Inspection of the speaker shows the woofer surrounds are about to go south (you know the feeling, a little sticky...
Wasn't sure where to put this... hoping "DIY" is the best choice. The EV S200 is(was) a popular choice for a cheapish, light-ish, portable 2-way passive PA cabinet back in the... 80s? 12" woofer.
A friend brought a pair of these over yesterday, indicating that one of them didn't work. The...
I need a crossover schematic diagram for an EV Sentry III Series 1 speaker. It is a 3-way with crossovers at 600 and 3500 Hz. I think a capacitor has gone bad - the midrange horn does not work.
Picked these and some advents up from an awesome gentleman who I originally went to buy a box of reel to reel tapes from, couldn't pass up the deal which was $100 for both.(I may be bragging a little here, I've searched for a deal on good speakers hard for a few years before luck finally shone...
I'm pretty excited about today's haul. I have some big Bag End S15B-D's that I've refinished and thought about using for a large, sensitive 2 channel 2-way setup. These came up locally, with W bins and a pair of reconed JBL 15"s and a pair of EV 15"s. The seller included some Dayton audio...
I was blessed with a free speaker yesterday. Corner type cabinet. 3 ft. tall. 2 ft wide. ~20" deep. Label on front is "Electro Voice Royal". Looks like 15" driver with horn. Electro voice crossover and adjustment knob on side. Will try to send pics. I can't find any supporting...
I have acquired 2 electro voice enclosures with possibly regency III. I have tested all speakers with an ohmmeter and they all show readings except the two EV T25a horns. No continuity at all between two points on either horn. I have taken one apart and it looks like the coil is burned out. I...
I do not want to get into the debate over the environment etc. but rather the practicality and cost of driving one.
Just for sake of comparison, assume gas is $2.50/gal and you get 30mpg on your gas powered vehicle. That is 8.3 cents per mile. Add in an oil change every 5000 or so and that...
I can’t for the life of me figure out how to add pictures so im posting an imgur link, I hope that’s okay, if not someone let me know and i’ll take it down.

Picked these up sight unseen for $35. They came in the original shipping boxes and was told everything...
Before I commit to this with solder, does anyone have any comments or corrections on this wiring diagram?
I am adding T35's back into my aristocrat project with this diy X36, as I only had one x36 and it seemed to make more sense to make fresh ones as opposed to paying the price used ones are...
Anybody have a name for this EV Esquire speaker screw terminal? It looks commonplace, but I don't know what to name it to search and find; I need a few of them.
Good morning and Happy New Year!
I have two main stereo systems in my house. The large one in the living room consists of EV S15-3’s that are mint with rebuilt x-overs, and the smaller bedroom system has JBL 4406’s.
I just recently purchased a never-used-in-box Hitachi HA-2 amplifier to push...
A few years ago I purchased a set of EV Lancaster speakers that had obviously been hand built. They were loaded with the Wolverine series low cost drivers, LS12 woofer, MR10 mid horn and TW35 tweeter. The crossovers needed attention so I decided to install a pair of Crites X8 / X36 crossovers...
I have an EV pro audio sub (SBA760) that was given to me because the driver is blown. Im thinking about using the box and making a home audio sub since it is a very solid box and that is the most difficult part o a DIY speaker.
I've done some calculations and the box volume is very close to...
Hi all! I am restoring a pair of Electro-Voice Interface A: Series II and curious if anyone has the crossover schematic available. I am also curious if anyone has worked on these and has suggestions as to alternative crossover components that may no longer be available or possible upgrades...

Hello all this is my first post on AK, I don't know what took me so long. :)
I have a pair of EV S15-3’s for about 15 years now that I just love and fell in love with when I was a kid back in the early 80's. Well I plan...
So, I got this pair of Karlson K15 cabinets for free and am playing with. These are obviously factory built and actually very beautiful save for some minor mars and scratches. Nothing major and I can repair quite easily.
I stuck a pair of Altec 604 duplexes in them. Dissimilar...one is...
ok, so recently (October), my wife decided she was ready to go car shopping and scale back from a big unwieldy Mazda CX-9 crossover. Kids are in high school, less big family rides with extra junk so a sedan will suit us fine. Plus the Mazda was a 20mpg vehicle, give or take. Also, I’ve been...
I have a pair of Aristocrat cabinets and these drivers:
EV Sp12, older 16 ohm with large white magnets.
EV t35b black 16 ohm version.
EV DH1506 8 ohm with metal 8hd horn.
What sort of crossover would be good here, and could/should I mix that 8 ohm midrange with the other 16 ohm drivers?
Crossover at 1.5kz using EV x-overs. No matter what driving amp...Hafler, Rotel, Scott tube, Scott integrated solid, Yamaha...just sounds great.
Whether classical, hard rock, jazz, rb, rap...just sounds great.
