ITEM 1.         CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.

                See Item 2 below.

ITEM 2.         ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

                EV International, Inc. ("EVI" or the "Company") entered into an
                Exchange Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 30,
                1998 (the "Exchange Agreement"), among Greenwich I LLC, a
                Delaware limited liability company ("G-I"), Greenwich II LLC, a
                Delaware limited liability company ("G-II"), EVI Audio Holdings,
                Inc., a Delaware corporation ("EVI Holdings"), Telex
                Communications Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("TCG"), and
                Telex Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Telex").
                All of the parties to the Exchange Agreement are affiliates of
                Greenwich Street Capital Partners, L.P. ("GSCP"). Pursuant to
                the Exchange Agreement (i) G-I contributed and exchanged 85,000
                shares of EVI Holdings' common stock, par value $.001 per share
                and 13,000 shares of EVI Holdings' Class A Pay-In-Kind Preferred
                Stock, par value $.01 per share, for 1,397,400 shares of TCG
                common stock, par value $.0005 per share (the "Common Stock")
                and 13,000 shares of TCG Series A Pay-In-Kind Preferred Stock,
                par value $.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), respectively,
                (ii) EVI Holdings was merged with and into TCG (the "Merger"),
                with TCG as the surviving corporation, (iii) effective as of
                February 2, 1998, Telex was merged with and into the Company
                (the "Subsequent Merger") with the Company as the surviving
                corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCG, and (iv) the
                Company changed its name to "Telex Communications, Inc.", in
                each case on the terms and conditions described in the Exchange
                Agreement. The Company accounted for the Subsequent Merger as a
                combination of entities under common control. Therefore, the
                Company's financial statements reflect the results of EVI and
                Telex for all periods presented.

                In connection with the Subsequent Merger, approximately $12.7
                million outstanding under EVI's Senior Credit Facility was paid
                in full and EVI's Senior Credit Facility was terminated. Such
                indebtedness and other amounts outstanding were repaid with
                existing cash at closing from the Company of approximately $3.8
                million and replaced with borrowings under the Company's
                revolving credit facility (formerly Telex's Senior Credit
                Facility) of approximately $8.9 million.

                UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial information (a) for the
fiscal year ended February 28, 1997 and the nine months ended November 30, 1997
in the case of EVI and (b) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1997 and the nine
months ended December 31, 1997 in the case of Telex, gives effect to the
Subsequent Merger as if it had occurred (i) as of the beginning of each period
presented for the unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations and
(ii) as of the end of the most recent period presented for purposes of the
unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet. The Subsequent Merger has been
accounted for as a combination of entities under common control. The unaudited
pro forma condensed financial information should be read in conjunction with the
more detailed information, risk factors and financial statements, including the
related notes, included in the previous Form S-4 registration statements and
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") by EVI and
Telex. Unless otherwise indicated herein or the context requires, capitalized
terms are defined in this report or elsewhere in the previous registration
statements and reports filed with the SEC by EVI and Telex.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements do not purport to present
the actual financial position or results of operations of Telex Communications,
Inc. had the Subsequent Merger and events assumed therein in fact occurred on
the dates specified, nor are they necessarily indicative of the results of
operations that may be achieved in the future. The following Unaudited Pro Forma
Condensed Statement of Operations do not reflect cost savings that may result
from the Subsequent Merger. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial
Statements are based on certain assumptions and adjustments described in the
Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements and should be
read in conjunction therewith and with the Consolidated Financial Statements of
Telex and EVI and the related notes thereto incorporated herein by reference.

         Financial Statements, contain certain reclassifications necessary to be
         consistent with those classifications used in the Telex financial
         statements. These reclassifications had no effect on net income (loss)
         or shareholder's equity, as previously reported.

(b)      Reflects annual management fee charged to EVI by GSCP of $750.

(c)      Reflects additional amortization of intangibles incurred by EVI as a
         result of the allocation of the excess of the purchase price over
         identified tangible and intangible net assets acquired, which is being
         amortized over 40 years.

(d)      Reflects incremental interest expense associated with the EVI Term Loan
         Facility and Notes and related fees and amortization of deferred
         financing costs:

         A 1/2% change in the variable interest rate under the EVI Term Loan
         Facility would change pro forma interest expense by $90 per annum.

(e)      Reflects the pro forma provision for income taxes associated with pro
         forma adjustments at an assumed rate of 42.7%.

(f)      Non-recurring transaction related costs included in the nine months
         ended December 31, 1997 for Telex include the extraordinary loss
         related to the early retirement of debt of $10,553, net of tax, the
         recapitalization expense of $6,710, and the non-cash compensation
         charge of $7,410 associated with the change in terms of rolled over
         options. Such amounts have been recorded in the historical statement of
         operations for the nine months ended December 31, 1997, and as a
         result, are eliminated in the pro forma adjustments for that period.
