About the Electro-Voice ZLX-12P
Power vs. weight
Power vs. weight
Modern speaker technology has really improved the lives of performers everywhere, especially when it comes to lower backs. Electro-Voice has been a leader in making speakers smaller and more powerful, and their ZLX Series speakers offer uncompromised sound quality in incredibly compact, lightweight enclosures.
Built-in DSP even has a setting for using this speaker as a floor monitor.
Plenty of power
The ZLX-12P powered speaker delivers impressive performance in just about any setting, using a built-in Class D amplifier that delivers 1000 watts to a 12" woofer and a 1.5" titanium high-frequency driver. A built-in pole mount lets you mount the speaker on a stand or above a subwoofer, and the enclosure's shape allows you to use it as a stage monitor.
Digital control
The speaker's simple control panel gives you access to a world of sonic tools. You can access onboard QuickSmartDSP by pressing the Master Volume knob, which gives you control over Mode, Location, Treble, and Bass, along with a Sub mode which offers three different high-pass filter settings. You can use these presets to optimize your speaker to a given setting quickly. A built-in limiter engages automatically to protect your equipment when the overall level exceeds a preset threshold.
The ins and outs
The two input channels are equipped with combination 1/4" TRS and XLR inputs; one channel also has a 1/8" stereo plug input. Input level meters help you get maximum performance without distortion. An XLR line output provides signal for other ZLX-12Ps or for a powered subwoofer.
Heavy-duty enclosure
The sturdy polypropylene cabinet with its 18-gauge steel grille protects the speakers and amplifier. If you're looking for a versatile, powerful speaker that you can carry easily with one hand, the Electro-Voice ZLX-12P is ready to go to work for you

Im really enjoying this ZLX, it sits in my living room and I play it almost every day. Its has nice features and looks great. It says 1000w peak but not sure if it can actually deliver that much power. I will buy another soon
