Electro-Voice ZLX-12-G2 - 12" 2-Way Full-Range Passive System (90°×60°, 250 W RMS, Polypropylene Enclosure)

Electro-Voice ZLX-12-G2 - 12" 2-Way Full-Range Passive System (90°×60°, 250 W RMS, Polypropylene Enclosure)

The Electro-Voice ZLX-12-G2 is a 2-way passive loudspeaker featuring a 12" woofer ( WECA2128 , ferrite) and a DH-1K compression driver (1.4" titanium diaphragm), designed for portable PA applications with even coverage and high intelligibility. The second generation ZLX incorporates the patented SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers) horn for improved time alignment and acoustic loading, achieving tighter bass and even dispersion throughout the full range. The black polypropylene enclosure integrates three handles , a 35mm tripod/sub mount, and a wedge design with two monitor angles ( 55° and 23° kickback ) for added stage versatility.

In terms of performance, the ZLX-12-G2 offers 250 W continuous / 1000 W peak into 8 Ω , axial sensitivity of 93 dB (1 W/1 m) and a max SPL of 125 dB (1 m) . Its working range reaches 55 Hz – 20 kHz (−10 dB) with a response of 69 Hz – 18.5 kHz (−3 dB) , crossover at 2 kHz and recommended HPF at 48 Hz . Nominal coverage is 90° × 60° . The rear panel incorporates two standard Speakon NL4 connectors in parallel with all-pin pitch for easy speaker linking. Dimensions (H × W × D): 621.1 × 356.2 × 356 mm ; weight: 14.26 kg .

Main features

• Configuration : 2-way with 12" LF ( WECA2128 , ferrite) + DH-1K HF (titanium, 1.4").
• EV's patented SST waveguide for clarity, bass extension, and even coverage.
• 90° × 60° coverage (constant directivity) suitable for main PA or monitoring.
• Response : 55 Hz–20 kHz (−10 dB) / 69 Hz–18.5 kHz (−3 dB); xover 2 kHz; Recommended HPF 48 Hz.
• Power and impedance : 250 W RMS / 1000 W peak; 8Ω ; Max SPL 125dB; Sensitivity 93 dB (1 W/1 m).
• Connectivity : 2 × NL4 in parallel with pass-through of all pins for daisy chaining.
• Enclosure : Polypropylene with painted steel mesh; 3 handles and 35 mm cup.
• Usage formats : tripod/sub, stack and wedge with angles of 55° and 23° .
• Dimensions and weight : 621.1 × 356.2 × 356 mm; 14.26 kg .

User benefits

• Consistent and articulate sound thanks to the SST design and controlled 90°×60° directivity.
• True versatility : works as a main PA, over a sub, or as a wedge with two monitor angles.
• Simple mounting and wiring with dual NL4 in parallel and pin-through for quick linking.
• Robust and easy-to-handle construction with three handles and durable polypropylene housing.

Use cases

• Portable PA for bands, DJs , rental companies and corporate events.
• Voice and music reinforcement in gyms, educational centers, and places of worship.
• Stage monitoring taking advantage of 55° and 23° angles depending on the backline layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What amplification do you recommend? We recommend using Dynacord amplifiers with DSP (settings available in the EV Speaker Database for SONICUE) for optimal performance and protection.
• Can I chain multiple boxes together? Yes, the two NL4s run in parallel and pass through all the pins, so you can link multiple units.
• Does it work with a subwoofer? Yes; if used in full-range , the recommended HPF applies at 48 Hz .
