ZLX 12P : Total bargain on a budget

11 years ago

I purchased an EV ZLX 12P after researching on-line for budget options to power my Axe-FX II.

The speaker arrived promptly and very well packaged. Plenty of connection options available taking an either 1/8-inch auxiliary from an external stereo source like an ipod or similar device, 2 x XLR/TRS inputs, and 1 x XLR output allows you to send a balanced signal to and from the unit.

On-board is a well-designed LCD display for DSP that at first can feel a little complicated but is actually well thought out and a breeze to use in no time. Here you can make very precise EQ adjustments to the sound of the speaker. This is also where you can find some other very useful features such as input metering and complete mode changes to reflect how the speaker is being used (as a floor wedge or as a speaker on a pole or bracket) etc.

The sound is very crisp and clear, and can get seriously loud if needed. If offers 1000-W in a Class-D bi-amplified design with a frequency range of 50 Hz - 20 kHz.

With a super-durable composite construction these speakers are a total bargain for the price.
