Iron Maiden’s Harris trusts Electro-Voice EVM-12L speakers
- Details
Harris’s signature sound and fast-fingerstyle technique have made him one of the most instantly recognisable bassist in heavy metal - as noted by Loudwire magazine, which named him the best hard rock and metal bassist of all time.
The relationship with Electro-Voice cements the long-standing trust that Harris has placed in his EV-equipped rig, solidifying a shared commitment to uncompromising audio quality that stretches over the decades to the early years of his career.
Reflecting on his first encounter with Electro-Voice, Harris says: “Even before the early days of Iron Maiden, I experimented with a variety of speaker models and different configurations, ranging from 10", 12" and 15" for my bass cabinets. Upon my initial experience with the EVM-12L, I was instantly struck by the crisp, powerful sound and knew immediately that it was the right fit for me."
Electro-Voice adds: “The EVM12L’s high-performance, heavy-duty design sets it apart from any other guitar/bass speaker ever made - renowned for huge tone and incredible stability at extreme volumes, the speaker has been a go-to for serious musicians since its introduction in 1983. The story continued on this latest tour, with Steve’s 4x12 Marshall cabinets loaded with fresh 12” EVM-12L Black Label speakers. They performed without a flaw and proved once more that they are the best fit, ensuring fans experience the full effect of his iconic low-end delivery.”
