About the Electro-Voice ZLX-12P

Bob Bihlmayer

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.

EV ZLX 12" TWO-WAY POWERED LOUDSPEAKER

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
