Electro-Voice ZLX-15-G2 - 15" 2-Way Full-Range Passive System (90° x 60°, 250 W RMS, Polypropylene Enclosure)

Electro-Voice ZLX-15-G2 - 15" 2-Way Full-Range Passive System (90° x 60°, 250 W RMS, Polypropylene Enclosure)

The Electro-Voice ZLX-15-G2 is a 2-way passive loudspeaker featuring a 15" woofer and a DH-1K compression driver (1.4" titanium diaphragm), designed to deliver high SPL and controlled coverage in portable PA applications. The second generation ZLX incorporates EV’s patented SST horn for precise transducer time alignment , tighter bass, and even dispersion. Its constant directivity horn delivers a 90° x 60° pattern, while the molded polypropylene enclosure (black finish) features three handles , a pole mount, and a dual monitor angle design: 55° and 23° kickback , facilitating use on a tripod, stack , or wedge.

In terms of performance, the ZLX-15-G2 delivers a power handling capacity of 250 W continuous / 1000 W peak into 8 Ω , with a sensitivity of 95 dB (1 W/1 m) , a max. SPL of 126 dB (1 m) , and a range of 53 Hz – 20 kHz (-10 dB) / 68 Hz – 18 kHz (-3 dB) . The rear panel features two parallel NL4 pass-through connectors for easy daisy-chain wiring. Dimensions: 697.6 × 422.8 × 383.1 mm ; weight: 16.44 kg .

• Connectivity : 2 × NL4 in parallel with pin pass-through for linking to other boxes.
• Enclosure : Molded polypropylene , powder-coated steel grille; 3 handles .
• Formats of use : tripod/mast, stack and stage monitor with 55° and 23° kickback .
• Dimensions and weight : 697.6 × 422.8 × 383.1 mm ; 16.44 kg .

User benefits

• Clear and consistent sound thanks to the SST design and 90°×60° directivity that facilitates coverage without “hot spots”.
• True versatility : works as a main PA on a tripod or stack , and as a wedge with two integrated monitor angles.
• Easy integration : NL4 parallel connectors with pin-through for live speaker chains.
• Robust and lightweight construction for intensive use, with three handles that speed up assembly.

Use cases

• Portable PA for DJs , bands and rental companies requiring wide coverage with a single box per side.
• Voice reinforcement and instrumentation for corporate events, educational centers, and places of worship.
• Stage monitoring using 55° or 23° angles depending on the backline layout.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which amplifier should I use? EV recommends Dynacord DSP amplification (settings available in SONICUE) for rated performance and adequate protection.
• Can it be linked to another box? Yes. The two NL4s are in parallel and pass all the tracks, making the connection easier.
• Is it compatible with subwoofers? Yes, and it's recommended to use HPF at 40 Hz when used as a full-range booster.
