ZLX 12P : Great speaker for the money

11 years ago

I purchased one of these as my friend has one and we play in a two piece band together. They are nice and light, and have quite a few functions for adjusting the sound on the back. At high volumes the sound quality suffers a bit, and there is quite a loud hiss out of the speakers when powered on, but you don't notice that when playing. I still cant decide whether I prefer "music mode" or "Live mode" more. Neither are voicing the speaker the way i want it. Music is too boomy and scooped, and Live is lacking a bit of low end. Still, with tweaks to the graphic in the desk I have been able to get a decent sound for them. I ABed them with yamaha DXR12s and the Yamahas seem louder, deeper, cleaner. The yamahas are also more than twice the price and weigh 5 kilos more. For a keyboard player these would make ideal monitors. Not bad for a PA if you can find the right settings and you dont play too loud.
