More than 100 dedicated special interest magazines from all over the world voted for the best pro audio equipment and musical instruments of 2015/2016 in 38 categories.
This year, Electro-Voice received a PIPA award for the second time in a row: the X-Line Advance compact vertical line array loudspeaker system convinced the jury in the concert sound category.
Introduced in spring 2015, X-Line Advance is gaining industry notice for providing a satisfying combination of precise, linear output, a best-in-class performance-to-size ratio and a user-friendly rigging system. Last year, EKX series loudspeakers from Electro-Voice prevailed over the competition in the portable sound category.
Guillermo Wabi, product manager for concert sound systems with Electro-Voice, proudly accepted the award: "I'm thrilled that the X-Line Advance is honoured with this prestigious award. With the X-Line Advance we channelled our concert sound expertise and R&D resources towards a product that has pushed the art and science of sound forward, rather than following the pack."
