Page 6: Tripod And Floor Monitor Operation
Tripod and Floor Monitor Operation Floor Monitor Electro-Voice ZxA1 loudspeakers may be used as a floor monitor by placing the speaker on the integral monitor angle. Make sure to: • Place the speaker on a level, stable surface that is solid and secure. • Route cables and position the stand so that performers, production crew and audience members will not trip over the stand or cables and pull the speaker system over. • Secure cables with wire ties or tape whenever possible.

Page 7: Pole Mount
Secure cables with wire ties or tape whenever possible. • Do not attempt to suspend more than one speaker on a stand designed for a single speaker • Unless you are confident that you can safely handle lifting the weight of the speaker onto the stand, ask another person to help you place it. • Tighten the set screw to minimize rattling and to prevent the speaker from rotating during use. Pole Mount Electro-Voice ZxA1-Sub speakers include 35mm (1-3/8 inch) pole mount cups to allow mounting a full range speaker above it. Make sure to: • Use a speaker pole that is no longer than 1.2m (4ft) and mount a speaker weighing no more than 11.3kg (25lbs). • Check that the ZxA1-SUB is placed on a flat and stable surface. No more than 11.3kg (25lbs). No longer than 1.2m (4ft). Figure 2b: Figure 2c: ZxA1 on Tripod Stand ZxA1and ZxA1-Sub Full-Range/Sub Stack with Pole Mount Electro-Voice ZxA1 Series Owner’s Manual... -
Page 8: Suspending Zxa1 Loudspeakers
Suspending ZxA1 Loudspeakers Electro-Voice ZxA1 loudspeakers may be safely suspended with single stud fittings by using the MP1 suspension kit, or quickly attached to a truss by using the CA-Zx truss clamp adaptor (both sold seperately). See MP1 or CA-Zx instruction sheets for proper assembly and use. WARNING: Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of rigging objects overhead. Electro-Voice strongly recommends that ZxA1 speakers be suspended taking into account all current national, federal, state and local regulations. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that ZxA1 speakers are safely installed in accordance with all such regulations. If ZxA1 speakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly recommends that the system be inspected at least once a year. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken immediately. There are instruction sheets for each EV Suspension and Array Kit that should also be consulted prior to suspending speakers.

The logo badge is square and can be rotated in 90° increments. To rotate the logo badge, follow the steps below: 1. Using a finger or flat-edge screwdriver (using care not to scratch grille), grip under the logo badge. 2. Pull the logo badge outwards from the logo recess until it fully clears the front surface of the grille. 3. Rotate the logo badge, in 90° increments, to the desired orientation. 4. Release the logo badge and let it “spring” back into the logo recess. -

Page 11: Zxa1 Amplifier Controls
MASTER Level control for adjusting the power amp’s overall amplification. The level control affects the volume of the line input and microphone input. To prevent distortion and clipping of pre-linked mixing consoles, the control should generally be set to a value between 0dB and +6dB. Level control for adjusting the microphone input level independent of the master level. MIC IN XLR input for low level signals like microphones. The MIC IN and LINE IN may both be used at the same time as a 2-channel mixer. WITH SUB/FULL RANGE When depressed, activates a 100Hz highpass for use with a subwoofer, or if the ZxA1 is used as a floor monitor. A pen or paperclip is needed to depress the switch to WITH SUB mode. LINE IN Electronically balanced input for the connection of high-level signal sources like mixing consoles or signal processors. Connections can be established using 1/4” TRS or XLR-type connectors. MASTER OUT Output connector to send the signal to another speaker or subwoofer. The output is the sum of both the MIC IN and LINE IN. POWER AC switch for switching the ZxA1’s power ON or OFF. The LED lights after turning the power ON. If the LED is not lit upon turning the power on, make sure the AC cord is correctly connected and the outlet is properly working. MAINS IN AC connection is established via an IEC-connector. A 10’ (3m) long AC cord with fitting IEC-plug is supplied. Locking IEC power cords may also be used. Electro-Voice ZxA1 Series Owner’s Manual... -

NORMAL. If the bass output is low when using with other loudspeaker systems and subwoofers, try setting the switch to REVERSE POLARITY. XLR INPUT XLR input connector to receive the signal from another speaker or subwoofer. XLR OUTPUT XLR output connector to send the signal to another speaker or subwoofer. The output is based on the selection made at the INPUT SELECT switch. POWER POWER AC switch for switching the ZxA1-Sub’s power ON or OFF. The LED lights after turning the power ON.
