Vehicle space comes at a premium when you're out on the road. Fortunately, the Electro-Voice ZLX line of speakers packs a whole lot of no-nonsense clean audio into a compact, portable form factor. Just plug in a mic, instrument, or mixer and take the stage. The E/V ZLX-12BT splits 1000 watts between its powerful 12" woofer and 1.5" titanium high-frequency driver for an impressive 126dB SPL. So whether you're looking to fill a hall with music or a club with comedy, the Electro-Voice ZLX-12BT has the amplification to fit the bill. It's also packed with smart features, including onboard DSP with EQ and placement presets, back-panel clip indicators, and auto-limiting to protect your amp and speakers against overloads. And with onboard Bluetooth, accessing your music library has never been easier — a feature the DJs here at Music Experience really appreciate.
Three modes optimize the E/V ZLX-12BT for any live sound application. Run it up a stand and use the Pole setting to gain back the low end you lose from elevating it off the ground. Place it wedge-style on the floor and use the Monitor setting to control low end from muddying your stage sound. Or mount it to a wall and use the Bracket setting to prevent excess bass buildup from overtaking your mix.
Another way to put the ZLX-12BT to work for your club or venue is with the built-in Application Mode presets. Get your crowd on their feet by sweetening your audio with a smiley-face Club EQ curve (excited bass and treble). Or optimize your speakers for music with the neutral Live preset, or customize for book readings and live speaking events with the Speech preset.
You can upgrade to room-shaking bass whenever you're ready with the Electro-Voice ZLX-12BT, which is optimized for the ELX-118 (passive) and ELX-118P (powered) subs. Already have a sub? No problem. Just dial in the built-in crossover to find the best match for your speakers.
