The Speaker Test You Wanted: Demo of all four #ElectroVoice Speaker Families! Virtual Expo

People have been asking for this video for awhile! We have EV product specialist Mike Doucot demonstrating the same type of speaker (15" two way) in the four lines of powered speakers: You get to hear the ZLX, ELX, EKX and ETX in this in-depth look at all four lines!

Thanks to Alex for the time breakdown:
37:09 - ZLX-15P
39:12 - ELX115P
41:43 - EKX-15P
47:05 - ETX-15P

Thanks for this video. I know I still need to here these live for a proper comparison, but I could still hear a distinct difference from speaker to speaker. And the information provided (mics, caratoid speakers, delays, etc.) was very educational.

The plastic box “flexing” as the woofer moves is definitely a real thing with the ZLX speakers. I know someone who found that you could use the handle on the left side of a ZLX box to hold a smartphone while it was streaming music to the speaker via the aux input. However, about every 10 minutes, the music would suddenly stop and you’d hear the phone hit the floor. 😂
The phone was visibly shaking around behind that handle, and slowly moving backwards. In retrospect, we could’ve really used a subwoofer that day. You could definitely hear the bass, but not feel it.

Good work guys...but if you do ever get a chance to talk with the EV guys....mention to them about how poorly they package their subwoofers....picked up 2 ETX18SP and they are both damaged from transit...boxes looked reasonable for a cross the country journey but the packaging is very minimalist. Easy fix for a 1500 dollar sub....some high density foam or reinforced cardboard corners would not cost that much money....

I don't expect to hear the differences in speakers on my computer. I got what I needed by watching this video. The differences in options and performance in the speakers. Nice!

[djlstudio]

Apparently, I missed a plaid shirt sale...

Nice video.. I've been using my E.V. speakers for my raves, house parties, and public events.. The same pair for 28 years.. Never needed any subs at all. The Bass is super loud with high SPL 136 continuous 142 peak 1650 RMS each speaker

What is the problem with people nowadays acting like morrons and spoiled kids? It's a shame to know most of us commenting here are adults and we are not posting constructive comments. If you are going to bash or make fun of people and make stupid comments on their videos then you have a problem. You better enrich your souls and not your ego. Bragging about your academic education and other silly comments makes you look immature. These videos are helpful to potential buyers who are interested on buying gear and cannot travel to places and listen to them. I live in Honduras, Central America, our market here is very small and sadly we are not able to get most of the gear that we would like to listen to before purchasing. So these videos are the ones that people like me look out for. We probably won't get a full idea on the sound but we do get a slight idea on specs. and characteristic or even tips we must know about the gear before purchasing. So please be constructive people and lets be thankful to all the people who take their time to film and upload these videos for us to enoy! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

I have 2 EV 15" ZLXP's and 2 15" EKXSP's. They are very exceptional together. More than I would ever need. Also I have a pair of the the Evolve 50's. They are awesome as well. VERY AWESOME! Both sets! I have asked Djjer questions at times and he has been VERY helpful. EV has it together and good reps as well to help. Djjer and Brian S. Redd are very knowledgeable and are go to's for many questions! Don't want to offend anyone but try as much to go hear the speakers somewhere. If you can't these folks are there to help you and give truthful reviews on many DJ items. Take care all and Peace!

So for passive versions on an ekx we should put in 750w rms from an amplifier to get the speaker to peak at 1500w however it's better to have a little more put into the speaker and have available power. Why don't the active versions put out that much? I see it only uses under 300w of power

[kennethcato]

Excellent review.My choice would be the EKX 15inch thow i would like to go with the ETX 15inch i play hard thow if I do I would not want to see LIMTED during my performance level.Thow after listening to this review your hit LIMTED some where at or near peek performance

[africangodman]

Do these EVs comes in any passive series?

[tonywilson]

Every video I watch regarding speakers, only music is ever played... Myself, as a vocalist, I'm far more interested in how vocals come through. Any dipstick can throw a dance song on, but to sing and hear clarity, for me is absolutely essential. Come on guys, get a vocalist to try these out live....

[prakashwadhwani]

Lovely video ... really explained the diff through the entire line-up.

How would you rate the top of the line 15" ETX cab v/s the ZXA5-90 ?? ... I'm talking about sound quality & tonality, power, spl's ... the dsp is irrelevant to me.

[stephenmitchell]

I use the ZLX-12P as a floor wedge monitor where I can control the volume locally. I daisy chain it to the mixer. Very light and I think the phone app works with this, although I have not tried it yet.

"Best video I've seen on these speakers" 👍🏼

[Jglfieri]

I have a Rock& Roll band and I have to say before I saw this video, I listened to so many speakers. I owned a pair of the QSC 152s and 153s, both great speakers but did not like the 60 degree dispersion of the 152s so wanted to upgrade. I listened to JBL SRX815 which were a huge upgrade from the PRX series but I got the ETX 15ps choosing them over the SRX which were a little louder but not as clean and clear as the ETX which ARE PLENTY LOUD ! I disagree with the EV guy about the ETX 12p preferred for live music. He did say it was just his opinion. With a band you have stage volume along with everyone being mic'd up so the tops need to cut through with clarity, fullness and plenty of headroom to spare and these do it all. Just amazing. I still have the QSC 153s which are fantastic and by using the delay in the EV's we will have a killer set up placing the QSC's out front for deep rooms or outside venues. To sum it up, the ETX 15P are preferred for live bands, not just DJ gigs.Trust me. We have done several shows and always have the typical musician or two come up during and after the shows commenting on the unbelievable sound they put out. Great job EV.

@discjokeynews I really learnt a lot from your videos, I'm actually considering an ev elx or ekx but elx for the weight reduction, however confused between the powered n passive, which would be better.

[carldehoney]

So where does the ELX200's 15" stand ???

[Jim-swji]
