Electro-Voice condenses decades of proven pro audio
engineering know-how into ZLX, its next generation of
high-performance portable loudspeakers. Available in
powered and passive 12" and 15" two-way versions, ZLX
was designed with a singular goal: to deliver best-in-class
performance across every detail. No other comparably
priced loudspeaker sounds better or gives you more control
over your sound. ZLX powered models match the legendary
quality of EV-engineered drivers with a custom-built 1000 W
Class-D amplifier module and feature an LCD display and
innovative single-knob DSP control with presets so you can
quickly optimize loudspeaker performance according to your
performance style and space. Whether used as mains or
monitors, ZLX will enhance your gig with incredible sonic
impact and intelligibility – the renowned ''EV Sound" the
pros trust.
In the case of the ZLX's uncluttered control panel, less really does mean more. Though
the multiple dials and switches on other powered loudspeakers may suggest more
functionality, ZLX's powerful DSP engine is accessed by a clean single-knob design
with LCD display, and actually offers the most precise control and configuration available
at its price point. Use the presets to optimize ZLX according to your application (music,
live, speech, club) and your location (pole mount, monitor, install) and hear the difference
in seconds. Smart design, straightforward operation.
