Introducing the Electro-Voice ZLX-12-G2 12-Inch 2-Way Passive Loudspeaker
Back in 2013, Electro-Voice unveiled the original ZLX series to bring top-notch audio quality at an affordable price. The debut was a hit worldwide, establishing ZLX as a front-runner in its product category.
Fast forward to today, with over a million ZLX units distributed globally, the ZLX G2 sets a new chapter in this success story. Positioned as the entry-level choice in Electro-Voice’s portable loudspeaker line, the ZLX G2 amplifies the strengths of its forerunner by boosting maximum SPL, widening the frequency range, enhancing durability, and introducing ergonomic improvements.
Improved Audio Performance
Building on the outstanding audio quality that made ZLX famous for live events and installations, the ZLX G2 guarantees remarkable sound quality for diverse applications. It combines a woofer and compression driver with a patented SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers) ported waveguide, enhancing low-frequency response and delivering consistent coverage across all frequencies in a compact design. The ZLX G2 continues the Electro-Voice legacy with its impressive audio output.
Enhanced Design and Features
The design of the ZLX G2 focuses on enclosure aesthetics, ergonomics, and versatility, refining features from the original model while introducing enhancements for a better user experience.
Symmetrical 55º sides provide a more precise projection angle for use as a monitor, offering improved user feedback and easier access to the input/control panel. The 12” and 15” versions feature a built-in “kick-back” angle for upward projection at a 23º angle when placed vertically. The enclosure’s orientation has been adjusted to face forward when directly positioned on a subwoofer without a pole.
Various mounting accessories are available for the permanent installation of ZLX G2 models, offering flexibility for different setups. Slipcovers are provided for all model sizes.
Versatile Applications
Apart from live performances, the ZLX G2’s compact size, strong performance, and adaptable mounting options make it suitable for installations in various environments like bars, restaurants, clubs, houses of worship, and more.
