A couple of years later came the Patrician IV and then Patrician 600. In 1953, E-V made the Patrician as a four-way design: T35 replaced the T10 and the T25 was equipped with the 6HD horn. The very first Patrician from the 1950, “The Patrician”, was a five-way speaker with a 18″ woofer and 12″ mid-woofer plus a multicell horn and T10 tweeter, as well as with the parallel-connected 8 inch SP8BT element. However, E-V’s natural province was in many respects 4-way speakers such as Centurion and Georgia, and the noblest of all: Patrician. Typical examples of early EV speakers included the Baronet, Aristocrat and Regency often consisting of a horn and a woofer. The other speaker manufacturers as Klipsch trusted them too. For example, the 120/90-midhorn, the SP-12 -mid-woofer and the T-35 horn tweeter from the 1950s were still used in E-V speakers in the 1970s. Within a few years E-V develop elements and technical solutions, which carried far into the future. Like them or not, they were designed to work both in practice and in theory. E-V speakers are not drawn on a cigarettes pack with emotion. It hired a bunch of qualified theorists and reportedly was the world’s first speaker manufacturer who built a proper anechoic chamber for adequate speaker measurements. The multi-cell horns of the cover image look like genuine Altec horns. But E-V was not just looking around. In the beginning E-V was well aware what Western Electric, Westinghouse, Bell, RCA, Altec (later acquired E-V and closed it) and the JBL were doing. Loudspeakers E-V began to design and manufacture in the late 1940s, and continued well into the 1980s. But the company’s 80 years covers more than just award-winning mics for radio stations: cartridges, automatic aerial amplifiers for TVs and high-fidelity loudspeakers for home use. Of Patricians I knew nothing.Įlectro-Voice is best known for its microphones and other related gear for professional audio. I had seen E-V’s huge constant directivity horn once at a cinema warehouse.
