Building on the best of what made the original ZLX series an industry icon, the Electro-Voice ZLX-8-G2 8" Portable Passive Speaker offers a range of next-level features and functionality.
Superior Engineering, Superior Sound - The standout audio quality that made ZLX a go-to choice for both live performance/playback and installed sound has been leveled-up with ZLX G2. Maximum SPL has increased and premium components behind the grille ensure ZLX G2 offers stunning acoustic performance for everyday use. The woofer and compression driver in each ZLX G2 model are coupled to a patented SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers) ported waveguide, enhancing low-frequency extension and delivering even vertical and horizontal coverage across all frequencies - all while allowing a more compact form factor. ZLX G2 packs a sonic punch that's worthy of the Electro-Voice name.
Passive ZLX G2 models use industry standard NL4 connections - the two NL4 connectors are in parallel and pass through all pins. For optimal acoustics and performance, ZLX G2 is recommended for use with a Dynacord DSP power amplifier programmed with the appropriate speaker settings included in the EV Speaker Database for SONICUE Sound System Software.
Form And Function Redefined - Enclosure design, ergonomics and versatility were all a priority in ZLX G2's development, resulting in a sleek-yet-solid blend of form and function that evolves elements of the first-generation model while incorporating key improvements to enhance the user experience. Available in black, the loudspeaker enclosure is constructed from durable polypropylene, featuring a new strengthening "spine" complete with an embossed Electro-Voice logo.
Symmetrical 55° sides allow for a steeper projection angle when the loudspeaker is placed in monitor position, making it easier for users to hear themselves, while also facilitating access to the amplifier input/control panel on the opposite side. A built-in "kick-back" angle allows the 12" and 15" versions to project upwards at a 23° angle in a vertical orientation. The stance of the enclosure has been redesigned to aim straight forward when placed directly atop a subwoofer (i.e., without the use of a pole).
A choice of mounting accessories is available to permanently install ZLX G2 models: a "U" style wall bracket allows 12" and 15" models to be either vertically or horizontally mounted; a long-arm pole-mount style wall bracket for the 12" and 15" versions allows vertical mounting with tilt adjustment; a short-arm pole-mount-style wall bracket for the 8" version allows vertical mounting. Slipcovers are available for all model sizes.
