Electro-Voice EV ZLX-8 G2 Passive Speaker 8inch
Product Information
When Electro-Voice introduced the first-generation ZLX series in 2013, the goal was to bring real pro-audio performance to a more accessible price point than ever before, combining superior Electro-Voice sound quality with lightweight-yet-robust construction. Users around the world soon took notice, and ZLX’s proven performance and day-to-day reliability quickly positioned it as the undisputed industry benchmark – the first and best in the product class it created.
Now, adding to the momentum of well over one million ZLX units delivered globally, ZLX G2 steps up as the sequel to that success story. The point of entry into the Electro-Voice portable loudspeaker portfolio, ZLX G2 builds on its predecessor’s winning formula with increased maximum SPL, frequency range and durability, along with a range of ergonomic refinements
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.
