Appropriate
Use of Power
By Jake Feldman
This combo from E-V helps
you provide potent but
tailored sound
For many shows, disc jockeys
have to decide what“over kill”
and “under kill” are.
At a 250-person wedding, a line array is definitely
overkill. For the 2,500-person prom, a pair of self-
powered 450-watt speakers is unquestionably
underkill. For most jocks, it is not that they want
to commit such an obvious audio atrocity, it is
that they are limited by their wallet and schedule
as to what they may purchase and use for their
event.
200 watts (continuous). With
a 90° by 50° coverage pattern,
you rest assured that your
outer guests will hear the ever
important announcements
emitting from within. The
ZX1 also acts as a great floor
monitor for small bands,
speaking engagements, and
churches.
Getting Amped Up
When used together with EV’s CP2200
Compact Precision Series Class H Power
Amplifier, these speakers offer great
support for your small events. At a low
volume, the system presents a great
clarity and attention to the music. After
dinner, however, these speakers provide a
warm, rich, yet crisp sound that leaves one
wondering how a system so compact and
light can possess such a bite.
As a unit, these speakers fit into the
right “niche” for small events. As I tested
them, I became aware of a slight problem
not with the speakers, but with the Asp
Ev-1 poles that come with this system.
As is common in similar setups, the poles
had pin clips that I was not using correctly,
because of the presence of tightening
knobs. I quickly learned that such a mistake
would create a vibration
of the pin, which can
be annoying. After the
misuse was corrected
and the pin was placed
correctly, the problem
was solved.
I brought these
speakers out to
numerous events, most
notably a wedding at
a church gymnasium
that was being used as
a reception site. Usually,
in a gymnasium, most
of the high end is
transported away from
your audience and into
the ceiling, creating a
headache for guests
and for the DJ. With
this system, I was able
to convey every important
word of the Couple of Honor’s special day, and
was complemented about how well the system
worked in such an acoustical nightmare—over
kill or under kill. QSolid Stack of Sound
Electro-Voice speakers are known for
their smooth sound, sleek looks, and
marketplace sensibility. Two of their
products, the ZX1 High Performance
Compact Loudspeaker and the SB122
Sx/Sb Series Speaker System fit
together seamlessly to offer you the
ability to pull off those “small” shows
without blasting Grandma out of the
room, or leaving your guests wondering
why the DJ showed up with what sounded like a
home stereo unit.
On the audio low end, the SB122 packs just
the right “tight” punch you have been looking
for, without the back strain. At a shockingly light
33 lbs, this little workhorse puts out 400 watts
continuous, with a program handling output of
800W and a peak of 1600W. While rubber footings
provide piece of mind in a sturdy base, the
SB122 may also be flown if desired, with optional
hardware available from EV.
Also flyable and easy to transport, the ZX1
brings out the highs and mids with a nice, crisp
