A unique combination of audio perform-

ance, versatility, aesthetics and light weight.

You won’t find another speaker system on

the market that offers the outstanding

sound quality, range of versatility, and

tremendous output capability of the Zx5

anywhere near its size and weight.

Electro-Voice™ is the pioneer of composite

pro audio speakers.It all started in 1982: when

the 100S was launched as the world’s first pro-

fessional 12” speaker in a lightweight com-

posite enclosure. It was followed by the very

popular S200 in 1984. In 1994, the Sx200

made it’s debut, setting new standards in per-

formance and coverage. The Sx200 used an

EVM®woofer, the DH2010A 1” compression

driver and Varipath™ horn geometry.

Then, in 1997, the Sx300 arrived fea-

turing a DL woofer and incorporating

EV’s RMD™ (Ring-Mode-Decou-

pling) technology.

The Sx Series has since become the industry

standard for pro audio speaker applications

worldwide. Now, after more than 20 years of

making composite speakers, EV once again

raises the performance standard in profession-

al sound reinforcement with the launch of the

Zx5.

For more than 75 years, Electro-Voice™

has been one of the very few manufac-

turers that designs and manufactures its

own loudspeaker components to ensure

the highest possible audio performance

of a loudspeaker system. The Zx5 is the

first speaker to feature EV’s all-new DVX

series of woofers, as well as the ND2

neodymium compression driver.

Cool air enters through frame under spi-

der, flows around the voice-coil to absorb

heat, and exits through differential pres-

sure vent in pole piece. Computer aided

design used for suspension components

enable dynamic linearity at very high out-

put levels, reducing distortion to levels

below audibility.

additional power handling for maximum

output, while reducing size and weight to

a minimum. 0.5 mm (0.002”) titanium

diaphragm provides reliability, transient

response, and great HF.

Different applications require differ-

ent coverage patterns. Zx5 has

two available: 90°x 50°for wider

areas, 60° x 60° for longer throw

and high intelligibly in reverberant

spaces. Both provide smooth, even

response on and off-axis.

By design, the Zx5 is also a perfect

solution for stage monitors. As dif-

ferent stage sizes require different

monitor angles, the Zx5 offers two

angles without any additional acces-

sories.

For Monitors

For Installations

The Zx5 is available in black or white finish. Both have a cloth-backed, full-face grille for a clean pro-

fessional look. For outdoor applications there is a PI with stainless steel grille, hydrophobic cloth, and

waterproofed gland nut at the output.

Zx5-60 60° x 60° coverage

Zx5-90 90° x 50° coverage

For wider coverage or shorter distances

Single-button fittings can be used

top, bottom, or rear with internal

steel anchor plates. 10 x M8

threaded points that can be used

to suspend the speaker in several

orientations. Wall mounting and

array brackets for many applica-

tions are available.

The MB-5 mounting bracket

allows

for quick, easy and safe mounting

of the Zx5 on to walls or ceilings.

The CB-5 cluster bracker kit is used

to create larger arrays with Zx5.

Both angles 60° and 90° are pro-

vided. For permanent hanging the

EBK-3 eyebolt kit is available. A kit

of three single-stud fittings, the

SSK-1 offers quick relase for mobile

applications.

Quality is inherent in using and

owning any Electro-Voice™ prod-

uct, and we stand behind that.

Every Zx5 is built of premium-

quality materials and is carefully

tested to ensure customers satis-

faction. All EV speakers are backed

by a five-year parts-and-labor

limited warranty.
