ELECTRO-VOICE ZLX 8 G2

Product overview

The ELECTRO-VOICE ZLX 8 G2 is an 8-inch two-way passive portable loudspeaker from the ZLX G2 series, built on the patented SST baffle for uniform coverage and tight, compact bass: 90° x 60° coverage, 124 dB maximum SPL and 250 W continuous power handling.

A 1.40-inch titanium compression driver pairs with a ferrite-magnet woofer inside a rugged polypropylene enclosure and powder-coated steel grille: pole-mountable, bracket-ready, and matched to its powered ZLX G2 siblings. The SST baffle synchronises the low- and high-frequency transducers for uniform coverage and tighter bass from a smaller box: the same acoustic core as the powered ZLX G2 models, ready to drive from any capable amplifier.

Key features

• SST baffle: patented Signal Synchronized Transducer geometry
• Titanium HF: 1.40-inch titanium compression driver on a ferrite magnet
• 90° x 60° coverage with consistent horizontal and vertical pattern control
• Road-ready build: polypropylene enclosure, powder-coated steel grille
• Flexible mounting: pole socket, optional U-bracket and universal wall-mount hardware, M8 rigging points
• Amp-ready: two parallel locking speaker connectors, 8 Ω, 250 W continuous / 1000 W peak

Engineered to project

An 8-inch (203 mm) woofer and the titanium compression driver reach 67 Hz - 20 kHz (-3 dB) with 90 dB sensitivity, so the cabinet projects clearly over a 90° x 60° pattern wherever it points.

Built to be moved

A rugged, ergonomic polypropylene enclosure and powder-coated steel grille stand up to daily transport. The compact SST cabinet keeps the 8-inch ZLX 8 G2 easy to carry, fly and pole-mount, at 10.15 kg.

Simple passive connection

The rear connector plate carries two locking speaker connectors in parallel: one for the amplifier, one to link a second cabinet. The ZLX 8 G2 has no internal DSP; apply the recommended 60 Hz high-pass filter in the amplifier or system processor.

ELECTRO-VOICE ZLX 8 G2: frequently asked questions

Is it powered?

No. The ZLX 8 G2 is passive: drive it from an amplifier rated for an 8 Ω load. It shares its acoustic core with the powered ZLX G2 models.

Can two cabinets share one amplifier channel?

The two connectors are wired in parallel, so a second cabinet can be linked from the first; check the combined load against the amplifier.

How can it be mounted?

On a pole or stand via the pole socket, flown from the M8 rigging points, or with the optional U-bracket and universal wall-mount hardware.

Which high-pass filter should be used?

ELECTRO-VOICE recommends a 60 Hz high-pass filter.

Where can I buy the ELECTRO-VOICE ZLX 8 G2 in India?

The ELECTRO-VOICE ZLX 8 G2 is available from Shivansh Electronics, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, with delivery across India.
