  • Page 6 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 data sheets for each Electro-Voice Suspension and Array Kit that should also be consulted prior to suspending speakers.

  • Page 7: Description

    When the ZxA5 is driven to amplifier clip the sound quality decreases; at this point the drive level should be turned down. Electro-Voice appreciates our loyal ZxA5 users and would like to obtain the best sonic results with long term reliability. For applications requiring heavy low-frequencies, we recommend using a suitable subwoofer with the ZXA5 operating in high pass mode (see page 6).
