The Electro-Voice ZLX-15P-G2 is a professional 1000W 15-inch powered loudspeaker that serves as the second-generation (G2) successor to the world’s best-selling ZLX series. It features an integrated four-channel digital mixer “Powered by Dynacord,” higher maximum SPL than its predecessor, and comprehensive Bluetooth control via the QuickSmart Mobile app.
Features & Digital Control
The G2 model introduces several significant technical upgrades over the original ZLX series:
- Onboard Mixer: A built-in 4-channel digital mixer with professional effects (reverb, delay, chorus), automatic feedback suppression (AFS), and ducking.
- Bluetooth Connectivity: Supports high-quality stereo streaming and True Wireless Stereo (TWS) for linking two speakers without cables.
- QuickSmart Mobile App: Allows users to configure, control, and monitor up to six speakers simultaneously from a smartphone or tablet.
- Presets: Includes application-specific modes (Music, Live, Speech, Club) and a unique FRFR (Full Range, Flat Response) setting for guitar modeling processors.
- Connectivity: 2x XLR/TRS combo inputs, 1x 1/4-inch Hi-Z instrument input (eliminating the need for a DI box), and an XLR mix output.
User & Expert Feedback
- Sound Quality: Reviewers from Thomann and Bax Music praise the speaker for its “impressive sound quality” and “powerful bass,” noting it can often handle smaller events without an additional subwoofer.
- Ease of Use: Professional users highlight the QuickSmart app as a “game changer” for making real-time adjustments during performances.
- Versatility: Experts note that while it is an “excellent starter-level” pro speaker, its lower noise floor compared to competitors makes it suitable for both high-energy DJ sets and clean vocal monitoring.
