The true compression DH2005 Driver is coupled to one of two

available horns. The 90° x 50° horn provides coverage for longer

throw and cluster applications while the 100° x 100° horn gives

broad even dispersion needed in many distributed audio

applications. An important added benefit is the rotatable horn design

allowing the ZX1i cabinet to be oriented either horizontally or

vertically for the ultimate in design flexibility.

The Electro-Voice

ZX1i features a lightweight, sealed

enclosure that is inherently water resistant. The addition of a

multilayer grille and weatherized components enable the

ZX1i to perform under many environmental conditions. An

optional weatherized input panel cover with a gland nut is

available for additional protection.

ZX1

family of speaker

systems is truly an industry first. Never

before has a single speaker design been so

closely customized to a wide range of audio

applications. Consisting of 8 distinct

versions, a

ZX1

model is available to fit

the need whether it’s part of a portable PA

for a local band or a large distributed sound

system for a major audio installation.

Delivering on this promise for fixed audio

installations, the

ZX1i

model is the new

standard of no compromise audio

performance and versatility in an easy to

install, lightweight and compact package.

Finally, a compact high performance

loudspeaker system designed exclusively for

the professional contractor to use in dozens of

different fixed installations. It doesn’t matter if

your requirements are providing a compact

sound reinforcement system in a church, a

complex background music system in a sports

bar or other high-energy environment or fill

sound in a large auditorium, the

ZX1i

can

solve the problem.

The ZX1 line of speakers can be summed up in two words:

F l e x i b i l i t y

• Choice of two available coverage patterns with horn

rotation feature

• All “t” versions have an 8 ohm bypass position

to allow low impedance operation

P e r f o r m a n c e

• True compression HF driver and 8” long throw woofer

provide smooth and wide frequency response

• Attractive ZX series family styling blends smoothly

with EV EVID series speaker systems

• The EV exclusive QuickSAM mount system enables

a more secure, faster installation experience

• 4 pin Phoenix style connector with pass through

terminals for quick and simple connections

The ZX1i is part of a complete

compact speaker system product line with

models for fixed installations distributed

systems, portable PA and even musician

vocal monitors. Each model incorporates a

wide range of features to make the system

attractive to every user.

The QuickSAM™ is a unique, integrated mounting bracket which is

virtually foolproof. It allows the installer to simply “click” and snap the

speaker onto the bracket then tighten it to the desired position.

A real problem with many high power 70/100v equipped speakers is their susceptibility to

transformer saturation, especially at low frequencies. All “t” versions of the ZX1i loudspeaker

incorporate our exclusive “ASC™” Automatic Saturation Compensation to address this problem.

ASC™ is a unique circuit to adjust the characteristics of the transformer that the amplifier sees to

create a “stable” load even at very high power levels. This feature virtually eliminates the

possibility of the amplifier going into protect mode or worse yet even damaging the amplifier.

The curve above shows the power draw of a conventional speaker

and the ZX1i over the frequency spectrum. As you can see, the

ZX1i provides a far more stable and gradual power curve to the

amplifier even at the lowest frequencies. No “spikes” means no

failed amplifiers!
