ZLX 15 : Awesome sound and flexibility for the price

6 years ago

I'm using this passive box as a personal monitor for my bass, using a powered Kemper Profiling Amp.

I needed something light but powerful enough to carry the fundamentals of a 5 string bass tuned down to A - not an easy job.

This ZLX 15 is very sturdy, surprisingly light, is easy to carry and place on stage and so far has taken live abuse fairly well !

Because of the 15inch woofer + tweeter combo, you might be missing a bit of definition in the higher mids, especially if playing in higher registers but it handles down-tuning very well.

Little detail - make sure you have a Speakon cable available, with the appropriate end for your amp (jack in my case), as the ZLX only accepts Speakon.
