Electro-Voice ETX-12P - 12" (2-way) Active PA Speaker with FIR-Drive DSP, 2,000 W, and 90° × 60° Coverage

Electro-Voice ETX-12P - 12" (2-Way) Active PA Speaker with FIR-Drive DSP, 2,000 W, 90° × 60° Coverage

The Electro-Voice ETX-12P is a 2-way full-range system designed for professional live sound, rental and installation applications. It combines a 12" SMX2120 woofer with a 1.25" DH3-B compression driver and a 2,000 W Class D amplifier with FIR-Drive , achieving 135 dB SPL peak with constant directivity 90° × 60° . The tour-grade enclosure, made of 18 mm birch ply (13 layers), with EVCoat finish and 16 AWG steel grille, offers high durability, 8 M10 mounting points for flying and a dual-angle (0° / 7.5°) pole socket to optimize coverage on a tripod or sub.

Its LCD DSP interface with a single encoder simplifies tuning with presets by function ( Music/Live/Speech ) and location ( Tripod/Monitor/Wall/Suspend ), a 3-band parametric Room EQ , a delay with extended range in fine steps, a selectable high-pass filter for use with subwoofers (generic options and pairings with ETX-15SP/ETX-18SP) and polarity control . With a response (−3 dB) of 55–20,000 Hz and a range (−10 dB) of 43–20,000 Hz , the ETX-12P offers punch, vocal articulation and high intelligibility in a portable form factor.
