VLog - Speaker Comparison QSC K12 2 vs EV ETX 12 and ZLX 12

In this video I compare a QSC K12.2 and some Electro Voice EKX12 and ZLX 12 speakers

Special thanks to DJ Big Al for coming out and helping with this.

Hey gentleman, I always watch your videos, I switch from ELX115p’s over to the k12.2s and I was VERY VERY impressed with the clarify and the mount of bass coming from the 12. The EV would start to peak and the QSC would just get louder and clearer. I’m a converted QSC guy plus the 6 year warranty. Keep up the good work guys!

Both great quality speakers but the ETX series is on another level

[jesusmarquez]

Your opinion is very professional! I would like to know which one do you recommend for DJ, the QSC K12.2 or the EV EKX 15p? Thanks, I'm waiting for your answer!

[JesusGonzalez-uhsl]

EV 100%. I now have 4 18"sp 2 35p and 2 12p.. monster sound

[earljaxfl]

Great video I'm getting ready to purchase QSC 12.2

[fdudha]

EV ETX series by far much better clarity and pounds hard! ETX also has a Delay option, so if you running next set of speakers 50ft further you will balance your sound to eliminate a unwanted echo sound!

I ordered 2 k12.2's one of them kept shutting off so I sent it back for a new one. Same result American musical supply told me to contact QSC long story short EV never let me down ever!!

[djkountrysoul]

I have 2 ETX35P, 2 ETX18SP, 2 EKX12s and 2 EKX18SP. Worth every penny.

Etx all day long - next level very loud - very good hardware

[RobertTaylorGreatfunshop]

but which one would you chose for the best bass ???

[FastRedPonyCar]

Our rock band uses K12.2's for the mains and our singer's floor wedge and I've got a ZLX12 for my floor monitor. There is absolutely zero comparison. The K12 is SO much louder and clearer with seemingly little effort. Huge price difference but the sound quality difference matches.

[doctormasterdevil]

the k12.2s are the ones ima be rocking, i was torn between EVs and the k.2s but ultimately went with the .2s cant wait to finally get them, keep up the good work, love yall comparison videos, does my boy Big Al have a youtube channel?

[dwaynewilliams]

QSC are some good speaker. I use those speaker when I was in school Audio Engineering

[gsonn]

RCF ALL DAY! Since the title has the speakers labeled backwards I thought the RCF's were the EVs and I was thinking that the EV'S sounded the best. At the end of the demo when he announced that the RCF's were the last ones, those were the ones that I thought sounded the best and that explains why I say RCF'S all day. The EV'S sounded the worst!

[Hemoria]

So your talking about qsc being better, is that what your going with????

Next time please do your homework on products before posting reviews. It will make you a credible reviewer. This review is absolutly flawed (or false)!

1) Meanwhile, the new QSC K12.2 has exactly the same power as QSC K12. They decided to change the marketing strategy an decided by now adverting the peak instead of the RMS (1000W), previously advertised on the K12. But nothing really changed besides adding a DSP.

2) K12/K12.2 has an SPL of 132db which is equivalent to EV ELX200 (SPL @130db). ZLX (SPL @126db) is far below the K12.2, and ETX (SPL @135) is above K12.2.

3) QSC did not eliminate 15 inch speakers from their product lines. They still make them. They just do not make them in their entry level (K Series) speaker line. You will need to step up to the big boys KW series (wood).

4) QSC 12.2 is a plastic speaker (ABS plastic material to be exact) which is why it weighs less than EKX/ETX (wood). For apple to orange comparison, do the expensive big brother 12inch, QSC KW122 (wood) and EKX12p (wood). Both have similar sounds very warm and pretty consumer-pro level.

5) ZLX and EKX both have AUX inputs for iPOD or whatever you need, just like QSC.

I can go on and on calling your bluff but, you get the idea. I suggest people go to any music store and listen to the speakers. However, please make sure you reset the speakers to factory default. I know most stores usually tweak them to sway customers one way or the other. I own both (QSC & EV) and use them for various events, as needed. I am a fan of both, just wanted to set the record straight.

You better go with the Qsc K12.2 i have them 6 year warranty they are the best

[paulparrinello]

Could you please tell me how to set me EKX 12’s in the back of the speaker? I’m a DJ

[yescasalfonso]

just picked up a pair of 12 inch fire they sound amazing

[antonicruz]

Ev is a better speaker sounds nicer then the qsc and better bass
