Electro-Voice ZX1-90 8-Inch Passive Speaker

The Electro-Voice® ZX1 is the new standard of no compromise audio performance and versatility for compact sound reinforcement.

The high-tech enclosure uses injection-molded high-impact polypropylene to make the ZX1 extremely durable. The enclosure geometry has been engineered to provide maximum rigidity and acoustic performance. The velocity compensated port design overcomes the limitation of many small loudspeakers and enables exceptional low frequency response without vent noise.

The ZX1’s long excursion, high output 8" woofer with a weatherized treated cone delivers smooth low frequency performance with exceptional reliability. A sophisticated crossover network integrates it with the DH2005, a 1.25” voice coil titanium diaphragm true compression driver for maximum output with extended frequency response. Full-bandwidth overload protection is provided for reliable, long term operation without audible effect.

The horn features 90° x 50° coverage with the important added benefit of rotation, allowing the ZX1 to be oriented either horizontally or vertically for the ultimate in coverage flexibility.

The ZX1’s molded polymer enclosure is inherently water resistant. The enclosure features an integrated pole mount, a pocket handle, and a wedge-angle design allowing for use as a stage monitor.

About Passive Speakers at Sound Productions

Enjoy full flexibility and customization with passive speakers from Sound Productions! All speakers need a sort of amplifier to function; while powered speakers come with amplifiers built-in, passive speakers need external gear to be connected, including external amplifiers or stereo receivers, speaker cables, and possibly an outboard crossover or other signal processing gear.

Personalization is the hallmark of passive speakers. Mix-and-match components to fit the highly-specific needs of any given project. Scale to fit a larger space or add surround sound as your audio needs change. Because there’s more space inside passive speaker housing, passive speakers can accommodate larger drivers, resulting in a more pristine, accurate sound reproduction where it’s needed most, such as concert halls, entertainment venues, or special events.

Passive speakers are ideal for when you need flexibility and customization options. Often this means professional applications, such as venues where the sound system needs to be scalable and versatile, or for audio projects that require the most accurate and reliable sound reproduction.
