Description
Thank you for choosing an Electro-Voice powered 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 EKX series is the newest member of the Electro-Voice portable loudspeaker family, and
combines legendary EV sound quality and reliability with the latest technology — all in a
compact package suitable for a wide range of sound reinforcement scenarios, including
musicians/DJs and live/club/installed sound applications. The EKX series features eight (8)
models (four (4) powered and four (4) passive), including 12-inch and 15-inch two-way
models and 15-inch and 18-inch subwoofers.
EV-engineered components, Signal Synchronized Transducers (SST) waveguide design, and
Class D amplifiers (up to 1500 W) coupled with QuickSmartDSP all work together to provide
precise coverage and superior sound quality at high SPLs. EV’s award-winning industrial
design — with robust wood enclosures and durable EVCoat finish — ensures that EKX speakers
look as great as they sound.
Powered EKX models feature high-efficiency Class-D power amplifiers (up to 1500 W) with
integrated QuickSmartDSP, and deliver up to 134 dB SPL utilizing high-sensitivity transducers
designed and engineered by EV (12-inch EVS-12M woofer / 15-inch EVS-15M woofer, each
coupled with a DH-1M 1-inch titanium compression driver; 15-inch EVS-15C subwoofer / 18-
inch EVS-18C subwoofer).
The EKX amplifier incorporates intelligent thermal management (with a variable-speed fan
controlled by multiple onboard sensors) which ensures superior performance and reliability in
demanding environmental conditions.
Powered models allow easy setup via four (4) presets (Music, Live, Speech*, Club), sub/top
system-match crossovers, three-band EQ*, five (5) user-programmable presets (Store and
Recall settings), visual monitoring of limiter status, input level control* and meters, and
master volume control to ensure optimal gain structure. (* not available on subwoofers)
Adapted from our touring systems, EV’s exclusive Cardioid Control Technology allows output
to be steered towards the audience with up to 35 dB reduction on stage when multiple subs
are deployed.
EKX powered models are ideal for portable and installed applications, with lightweight and
compact 15-mm wood enclosures with internal bracing, durable EVCoat finish, eight (8) M10
threaded mounting points (full-range only), aluminum pole-mounts, and all-metal handles.
