The ZxA5 powered two-way loudspeaker.
Germany - Electro-Voice has launched the ZxA5 powered two-way loudspeaker. At the heart of the ZxA5 are state-of-the-art transducers. To develop the DVX3150 15" high performance transducer, EV used advanced computer aided design techniques to create forced-air, directional voice coil cooling for high power and efficiency, says the company. Finite element analysis was used to optimise the suspension and magnetic structure for long, linear travel, providing low distortion and greater LF extension. Designed for a wide range of applications, the DVX3150 promises "the ultimate in lightweight reliability... but with a heavyweight 500W power rating".

Handling the HF is the ND2, a 2" voice coil compression driver based on a neodymium motor structure that allows maximum output while keeping size and weight to a minimum. The ND2's precision phasing plug and titanium diaphragm provide better HF performance, while the integral heatsink provides cooling for high power output.

ZxA5 features an integrated high output, lightweight digital amplifier that produces 1000W LF and 250W HF. The very low noise design includes a switchable 24 dB/octave 40Hz/100Hz high pass filter for use with a sub, the perfect match being the EV Plasma P2 18" powered subwoofer, says E-V.

ZxA5's high tech enclosure uses injection moulded high-impact polypropylene structural foam for incredible durability. The enclosure geometry elements have been carefully designed to provide maximum rigidity and bass response. By design, the ZxA5 is also a perfect solution for stage monitors, allowing two angles (45 or 55-degrees) with no additional accessories.
