The ELX200 includes built-in QuickSmart DSP which allows easy setup via three presets (Live, Music, Club), sub/top system crossover settings, visual monitoring of limiter status, input level meters with control, and master volume control, all of which can be stored and recalled with five user-programmable presets.
QuickSmart DSP: EV's proprietary QuickSmart DSP offers a lot flexibility and ease of setup using either the rear-panel LCD and control dial or the QuickSmart DSP app on a Bluetooth enabled device. DSP options include:
- Mode: Allows selection of one of the three pre-configured presets: Music (default), Live, and Club.

The controlling device must be Bluetooth enabled to use the QuickSmart app.
Construction: The subwoofer enclosure is made of durable 15 mm plywood that's coated in EV's black "EVCoat" for added weather and scuff resistance, along with an 18 AWG steel, black powder-coated protective grill. The top section houses an M20 threaded pole-mount for use with an additional speaker.
Rear Panel: The ELX200 has two inputs, each having a female combination XLR/1/4" jack, as well as two male XLR output jacks to pass a crossed-over signal out to additional powered speakers. The rear panel also has the LCD for the QuickSmart DSP menu along with a rotary dial that acts as a main volume control or, when pushed, will navigate through the menus.
