ZXA5 Series Loudspeaker
2
Description
Thank you for choosing an Electro-Voice portable loudspeaker system. Please take time to
consult the manual to understand all the features built into your EV system and fully utilize its
performance capabilities.
The Electro-Voice ZxA5 is one of the best-sounding powered 15-inch two-way composite
loudspeakers available today, designed to provide performance that rivals much larger
systems!
Most powered loudspeakers are designed with simple operation in mind, making it quick and
easy to achieve good audio quality. Many products on the market - including EV - deliver this
level of functionality with moderate output power amplifiers.
However, a product that truly sets EV apart from the pack is the ZxA5, a very high powered
loudspeaker that provides maximum performance. This performance and power requires more
skill than is required to operate a less demanding, lower-performance loudspeaker. To provide
maximum performance with LF punch and high SPL, the ZxA5 does NOT have a separate
protection limiter for the woofer, but the woofer amplifier does have a clip limiter. It is
possible to overdrive the ZxA5 hard enough and long enough for the woofer to fail.
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).
Installations that require the ZxA5 to run near clip regularly may consider an outboard limiter.
