With the EV ELX200-15P, you get a modern two-way active speaker that can be seen as an all-rounder for DJs and solo entertainers, musicians, and bands as well as presenters and entertainers, and it also represents a solid investment for rental companies. Equipped with a 15" woofer, it is the biggest model in the series and, with up to 1200 watts of peak power, slanted monitor, and tripod flange, it is ready for a variety of scenarios, from floor wedge to front-of-house PA. The functions of the speaker and up to six additional models can be conveniently remotely controlled via Bluetooth and a mobile device. Forgot your smartphone or ran out of battery power? Don’t worry — the back offers control options for the QuickSmart DSP directly on the device display.
Electro-Voice has given the EV ELX200-15P a 1200 W Class D power amplifier, its own EVS-15M 15" woofer, and a DH-1C 1" titanium tweeter. The frequency response ranges from 48 Hz to 19 kHz with a crossover frequency of 1600 Hz. The maximum sound pressure level is 132 dB, while the coverage angle is 90° x 60°. The patented SST waveguide improves the acoustic performance and ensures consistent output across all system configurations with compact housing dimensions. There are two lockable XLR/jack combo sockets for microphone/line signals and a stereo AUX input for channel 1 on the back panel. Another speaker is controlled via XLR link. Also very practical is the fact that the peak limiter algorithm, adapted from the EV concert sound systems, prevents damage to the speakers and protects both the performance and your investment.
The Electro-Voice ELX200 series is tailor-made for professionals who don't want to make any compromises on sound and usability on the road or in the installation environment. The configuration options of the QuickSmart DSP also score points here, including installation scenarios and sound adjustment using three-band EQ and ready-made presets (Music, Live, Speech, and Club). In addition, it features five user slots with save and recall functions, as well as input/output level controls and displays, including visual monitoring options with warning messages sent directly to your smartphone. Incidentally, EV uses a polypropylene chassis with powder-coated steel front grilles for the ELX200 series, resulting in a transport-friendly weight of just 18.9 kg for this model, which can be easily transported to the gig using the top and side handles.
Electro-Voice was founded in 1927 and has been dedicated to building sound reinforcement systems and microphones since the 1930s. The firm, originally based in Indiana, USA, is considered one of the industry pioneers and has developed many new technologies still in use today. For example, their hum-cancelling coil was not only a milestone for microphone construction, but also was at the origin of the humbucker pickups still used in many guitars. In the long history of the company, Electro-Voice has constantly expanded its offer and today sells a wide range of products for sound reinforcement tasks from entry to professional levels.
The EV ELX200-15P can be used as a floor wedge, as a speaker for instruments and vocals, put on the stand flange for lectures, flown, or set up in an installation. Even with two speakers, entertainers and solo entertainers get their money's worth at smaller events. Need more punch? No problem: Add a sub like the ELX 12SP and get the dance party started. For the rolling discotheque, concert use, or larger live setups, the system can be easily upgraded with the large top units as well as the 18SP sub and managed via app. It starts on a small scale, if you want to make a quick adjustment via the app at a singer-songwriter gig, and ends in more extensive setups, where nearby, ready-to-operate speakers can be identified and dynamically combined into groups with the installation location. This is where top-of-the-line sound meets user-friendly speaker management.
