Electro-Voice ZLX-12P-G2 Powered Loudspeaker (1x12")
zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Louder and clearer, with better durability and connectivity, the next-gen Electro-Voice ZLX-12P-G2 delivers pro performance at an affordable price point.
Overview
ZLX G2 is the second generation of the phenomenally successful ZLX series of portable loudspeakers. Building on the best of what made the original ZLX series an industry icon, the ZLX G2 lineup offers a range of next-level features and functionality and includes 8", 12" and 15" two-way models in both powered and passive versions.
The Sonic Sequel
When Electro-Voice introduced the first-generation ZLX series in 2013, the goal was to bring real pro-audio performance to a more accessible price point than ever before, combining superior Electro-Voice sound quality with lightweight-yet-robust construction and breakthrough configuration and control. Users around the world soon took notice, and ZLX's proven performance and day-to-day reliability quickly positioned it as the undisputed industry benchmark - the first and best in the product class it created.
Now, adding to the momentum of well over one million ZLX units delivered globally, ZLX G2 steps up as the sequel to that success story. The point of entry into the Electro-Voice portable loudspeaker portfolio, ZLX G2 builds on its predecessor's winning formula with increased maximum SPL, frequency range, durability and connectivity, along with a range of ergonomic refinements.
Superior Engineering, Superior Sound
The standout audio quality that made ZLX the go-to choice for both musical performance/playback and spoken-word applications has been leveled-up with ZLX G2. Maximum SPL has increased to 129 dB (ZLX-15P-G2), and premium… read more components behind the grille ensure ZLX G2 offers stunning acoustic performance for everyday use. The woofer and compression driver in each ZLX G2 model are coupled to a patented SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers) ported waveguide, enhancing low-frequency extension and delivering even vertical and horizontal coverage across all frequencies - all while allowing a more compact form factor. ZLX G2 packs a sonic punch that's worthy of the Electro-Voice name.
Smart Control and Connectivity
ZLX G2 powered versions are "Powered by Dynacord" - onboard premium electronics from Electro-Voice's sibling brand. Ultra-efficient 1000 W Class-D power amplifier modules feature an integrated four-channel, three-input digital mixer with high-quality effects. The mixer includes two XLR/TRS combo jacks and provides 24 V phantom power and Hi-Z compatibility. The mixer also includes pro features such as AFS (automatic feedback suppression), ducking, compression, loudspeaker delay settings and more.
Five system mode settings are available: Music, Live, Speech, Club and FRFR (full range, flat response). The FRFR setting offers a flat/neutral frequency response to produce accurate results when used with modeling processors and guitar cab simulators. Powered ZLX G2 loudspeakers also contain Electro-Voice-specific subwoofer presets that adjust for both gain and time alignment, resulting in full acoustic optimization. Additional high pass (HP) filters are available in the DSP for increased compatibility.
All ZLX G2 loudspeaker and mixer functions can be remote-controlled and monitored using the Electro-Voice QuickSmart Mobile app, available for iOS and Android. The app allows pairing and grouping of up to six Bluetooth-equipped Electro-Voice portable loudspeakers, in any combination. Users can wirelessly pair and link to two ZLX G2 loudspeakers in a stereo setup using Bluetooth true wireless stereo streaming. Local configuration can be completed in seconds using the single-knob encoder with LCD. The full-color LCD is larger and higher resolution, offering a crisp, clear view of system settings. ZLX G2 makes sounding great simple for users of all levels.
- Easy to use with QuickSmart Mobile app and Electro-Voice's Intuitive User Interface.
- POWERED BY DYNACORD with built-in digital 4-channel mixer.
- Large full color LCD display.
- Controls and connections easily accessible even in monitor position.
- The next generation of the world's #1 pro-audio loudspeaker
- The industry standard for providing real professional performance at an accessible price point.
- Stepping up - ZLX G2 builds on its predecessor's winning formula with increased output, frequency range, durability and connectivity
- Remote control/mixing and stereo streaming.
- Refined with key users in mind - While maintaining ZLX's broad appeal with a super-portable, ergonomically optimized design and a best-in-class

"Great Speaker that simply works"
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I own 16 of these speakers (and their earlier versions - all powered). I own a sound company and provide sound for numerous fairs, festivals, and events. I use these as main front of house speakers for smaller stages. They crank. I also use these as stage monitors and they are LOUD. I started buying these powered 12 inch EV speakers in 2016 ... and have continued purchasing them thru the years adding to inventory. I ONLY purchase and use the 12 inch versions. I bought a pair of 15s and did not care for the response, so I sold them and bought more of these 12s. Going on 8 years, only 1 speaker has failed (it was dropped about 6 feet). It is currently turned in for repair. I highly recommend these. For mains, I ALWAYS use these with subs (unless they're being used as monitors). Two of these per side, with a couple sunbs per side, will provide all the sound you need for about 1,500 people. I highly recommend (and use these weekly). Great speakers at a killer price. They are not as good as my $3200 each line array - but for $500 they cannot be beat.
