ZLX G2 Powered Speaker

The ZLX G2  is a portable active  loudspeaker that 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.

ZLX G2 powered versions are “Powered by Dynacord” – onboard premium electronics from Electro-Voice’s sibling brand. Ultra-efficient 1000 W Class-D power amplifier modules feature an integrated four-channel, three-input digital mixer with high-quality effects. The mixer

includes two XLR/TRS combo jacks and provides 24 V phantom power and Hi-Z compatibility. The mixer also includes pro features such as AFS (automatic feedback suppression), ducking, compression, loudspeaker delay settings and more.

Five system mode settings are available: Music, Live, Speech, Club and FRFR (full range, flat response). New for ZLX G2 and a unique feature in this product class, the FRFR setting offers a flat/neutral frequency response to produce accurate results when used with modeling processors and guitar cab simulators. Powered ZLX G2 loudspeakers also contain Electro-Voice-specific subwoofer presets that adjust for both gain and time alignment, resulting in full acoustic optimization. Additional high pass (HP) filters are available in the DSP for increased compatibility.

All ZLX G2 loudspeaker and mixer functions can be remote-controlled and monitored using the Electro-Voice QuickSmart Mobile app, available for iOS and Android. The app allows pairing and grouping of up to six Bluetooth®-equipped Electro-Voice portable loudspeakers, in any combination. Users can wirelessly pair and link to two ZLX G2 loudspeakers in a stereo setup using Bluetooth® true wireless stereo streaming. Local configuration can be completed in seconds using the single-knob encoder with LCD. The new, full-color LCD is larger and higher resolution, offering a crisp, clear view of system settings. ZLX G2 makes sounding great simple for users of all levels.

The loudspeaker enclosure is constructed from durable polypropylene, featuring a new strengthening “spine” complete with an embossed Electro-Voice logo.

Symmetrical 55º 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 23º 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).

In addition to portable sound for live performances and events, compact size with big performance and a range of user-friendly mounting options make ZLX G2 a great fit for installation in bars, restaurants, clubs, houses of worship, and many more applications.
