Electro-Voice debuts the ZX1-Sub

16 October 2012

Germany - The passive ZX1-Sub is the latest member of Electro-Voice's compact and lightweight ZX loudspeaker family. Presenting an optimal combination of performance, portability and efficiency, the ZX1-Sub is well suited to both mobile applications and fixed installation.

The ZX1-Sub features an EV-engineered 12" EVS-12S woofer and operates in the 42 Hz to 200 Hz (-10 dB) frequency range and boasts a frequency response of 53 Hz - 125 Hz (-3 dB). The nominal impedance of the subwoofer is 8 ohms and its maximum sound pressure level is 127 dB. A robust, 15-mm-thick internally braced wooden enclosure with two side handles, a structured coating and a sturdy steel grille ensure both reliable performance and rugged durability in day-to-day use.

Product marketing manager ProSound EMEA, Markus Schmittinger, is delighted with the new arrival: "It has never been easier to give a solid foundation to a compact PA," he says. "The ZX1-Sub was conceived primarily for configurations involving EVID, ZX1 and EVU systems, but it will also optimize system performance when paired with loudspeakers from other manufacturers."
