Electro-Voice ZLX-8-G2 - 8" 2-way full-range passive system (90° x 60°, 250 W RMS, polypropylene enclosure)

Electro-Voice ZLX-8-G2 - 8" 2-way full-range passive system (90° x 60°, 250 W RMS, polypropylene enclosure)

The Electro-Voice ZLX-8-G2 is a 2-way passive loudspeaker with an 8" woofer ( WECA2088 , ferrite) and a 1.4" DH-1K compression driver (titanium diaphragm), designed for portable PA and compact installations where controlled coverage and high performance are required. The patented SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers) waveguide optimizes temporal alignment and acoustic loading, delivering consistent sound across the entire 90° × 60° coverage area. Its polypropylene bass-reflex enclosure (black) incorporates a hi/lo grip design for easy transport and 35mm pole mounting. The rear panel integrates 2 NL4 connectors (input/ thru ) for chaining speakers.

In numbers, the ZLX-8-G2 delivers 250W continuous / 1000W peak into 8 Ω , 90dB axial sensitivity (1W/1m) and 124dB max SPL (1m) . Its (-10dB) 55Hz–20kHz range and (-3dB) 67Hz–20kHz response are managed with a 2kHz crossover and recommended HPF at 60Hz . Dimensions (H × W × D): 459.6 × 289.9 × 280.5mm ; weight: 10.15kg . Powder-coated steel grille for maximum durability.

Main features

• 2-way architecture : LF 8" WECA2088 (ferrite) + HF DH-1K 1.4" (titanium).
• SST waveguide for uniform dispersion and minimal off-axis artifacts.
• 90° × 60° coverage with consistent sound across the entire audience.
• Response and power : 55 Hz–20 kHz (-10 dB), 250 W RMS / 1000 W peak, 8 Ω ; max. SPL 124 dB .
• Management : HPF 60 Hz recommended; xover 2 kHz .
• Polypropylene bass-reflex enclosure ; powder-coated steel grille .
• Mounting : 35mm tripod/sub cup and 55° monitor angle .
• Connections : 2 × NL4 (input and thru ) for daisy chain wiring.
• Lightweight and compact format : 459.6 × 289.9 × 280.5 mm; 10.15 kg.

User benefits

• Clarity and intelligibility enhanced by SST guidance and 90°×60° directivity.
• True versatility : main PA on a tripod or on a sub, or 55° wedge on stage.
• Simple integration with dual NL4 in parallel (input/ thru ) to link multiple units.
• Touring durability thanks to the polypropylene housing and painted steel grille.

Use cases

• Portable PA for DJs , bands, rentals and corporate events in small and medium-sized spaces.
• Installation in bars, classrooms, gyms or houses of worship that require compact boxes.
• Stage monitoring with 55° tilt for clear feedback on small stages.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does it have a 23° kickback? The 8" version uses a 55° tilt angle as a wedge. The 23° kickback angle is documented for the 12" and 15" models.
• What amplification is recommended? EV recommends Dynacord amplifiers with DSP (adjustments available via SONICUE ) for optimal protection and performance.
• Can I chain multiple boxes together? Yes, both NL4s allow access to and through other units.
