  • Page 4: Safety First

    Safety First When setting up, installing and using the Electro-Voice ZxA5 speaker system, there are a number of pre- cautions that you should follow: · When Electro-Voice ZxA5 speakers are used for portable applications in which they will be positioned directly on the floor, make sure that the floor or stage is solid and secure.
  • Page 5: 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 ap- plications requiring heavy low-frequencies, we recommend using a suitable subwoofer with the ZXA5 operating in high pass mode (see page 6).
