Built for coverage, power, and weather-ready reliability
Concert venues face wide coverage areas, changing weather, and demanding audiences.
Electro-Voice and Dynacord systems deliver powerful, clear sound and reliability inside and outdoors -
with system design tuned to each site.
Where the sound goes
Featured venues
Sound that carries - clearly - across the open air.
The right system delivers wide, even coverage and high output for outdoor audiences, with precise pattern control and weatherized reliability built for any forecast.
Find the system that fits your space
Start with a system sized for spaces like yours — then adapt it with your integrator.
Smaller open-air venues
Point-source systems keep things simple: a left-right pair, self-powered speakers, stacked on the stage or put on poles. No delay lines, no added complexity, just clean coverage from setup to showtime.
Typical needs
- Medium SPL levels
- Easy transport, fast setup
- Speech and music reproduction

Open Air Gampel
Every space is different — these recipes are starting points.
Proven at a Formula 1 circuit
Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi — the season-ending home of the F1 Etihad Airways Grand Prix — welcomes hundreds of thousands of spectators on a digital sound backbone: EVC, EVF, and EVH loudspeakers, Dynacord IPX amplification, an MXE5 matrix, and SONICUE control.
The analog backbone replaced with a fully digital, IP-networked platform
IPX amplification and MXE5 matrix engines under SONICUE, on Dante and OMNEO
Practical design for the outdoors
Every site is different, but the goal is the same: coverage and clarity that reach the whole crowd.
Everything works together
Electro-Voice loudspeakers and Dynacord amplification and DSP
are designed as one system — making it easier to design, install, and operate.
Engineered together from the start.
Shared tools make systems easy to run and maintain.
Cleaner setup with fewer
compatibility issues.
Fewer unknowns. More
consistent results.
For integrators and consultants, this reduces risk and speeds up deployment. For venue teams, it means a system that’s easier to operate and support.
