User Instructions
Safety First
The Electro-Voice PX1122M, PX1152M, PX2122, and PX2152 have threaded points that can be used for suspension.
Please consult the user instructions that are supplied with the suspension kits for proper use prior to installation.
WARNING: Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals who have a thorough knowl-
edge of the techniques and regulations of rigging objects overhead. Electro-Voice strongly recommends that all speakers be sus-
pended taking into account all current national, federal, state and local regulations. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that
all speakers are safely installed in accordance with all such regulations. When speakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly recom-
mends that the system be inspected at least once a year. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be
taken immediately. The user is responsible for making sure that the truss, and any additional hardware used, is capable of supporting
the loudspeaker. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker that is not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.
Figure 1: Groundstacking Configuration
Ground Stack:
When using multiple Electro-Voice Phoenix speakers in a ground
stack configuration, the feet of each enclosure is designed to fit
into grooves of the enclosure below it. This is both for the safety
of the ground stack and serves as an alignment for properly array-
ing multiple loudspeakers. Always check that the feet are resting
in the grooves when using multiple speakers (Figure 1). Unless
you can safely lift the weight of the loudspeaker on to the ground
stack, have another person to help you place it. The ground stack
should be placed on a solid, level surface. When using subs on a
surface that is hard or slick, use a piece of carpet or other material
between the feet and supporting surface to prevent the subs (and
stacks) from “walking”. When using a ground stack in windy outdoor
conditions, when the surface is slippery, or when in adverse condi-
tions, Electro-Voice recommends using a ratchet strap to secure the
speakers. For a complete list of the configurations possible with an
Electro-Voice Phoenix system, please consult the Application Guide
at www.electrovoice.com.
Stand Mount:
The Electro-Voice PX1122M and PX1152M include 1-3/8" stand mounts for use with tripod stands. Check the speci-
fications of the speaker stand to be certain it is capable of supporting the weight of the speaker. Place the speaker
stand on a flat, stable surface and be sure to fully extend the legs of the stand. Do not try to make the stand “taller”
and compromise its structural integrity. Do not attempt to suspend more than one speaker on a stand designed for a
single speaker. Unless you are confident that you can safely handle lifting the weight of the speaker onto the stand, ask
another person to help you place it. Route cables and position the stand so that performers, production crew and audi-
ence members will not trip over the stand or cables and pull the speaker system over. Secure the cables with wire ties
or tape whenever possible.
Moisture:
Electro-Voice does not recommend using Phoenix loudspeakers in the rain or in high moisture environments without
protection.
Hearing Exposure:
Electro-Voice Phoenix loudspeakers are capable of producing sound pressure levels sufficient to produce permanent
hearing damage. Caution should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to sound pressure levels exceeding 90 dB.
Processor Settings:
Processor settings for Phoenix loudspeaker configurations are available for Electro-Voice speaker processors. Please
consult the Application Guide at www.electrovoice.com for more information.

Rotating the Horn:
The PX2122 and PX2152 loudspeakers have horns that can be rotated to change the coverage pattern. The coverage
pattern angles are molded on the horn flange.
1. Remove the (6) screws that attach the grille to the enclosure (Figure 2).
2. Remove the (12) screws that attach the horn to the enclosure, and disconnect the wires that attach the ND2 to the
input panel (Figure 3). The jumper that is between both ND2’s can remain connected.
3. Remove the (4) nuts and bolts that connect the manifold to the horn. Rotate the horn 90° so the desired vertical cov-
erage pattern is parallel to the ND2’s and manifold, then reattach the manifold using the (4) nuts and bolts (Figure 4).
4. Reconnect the wires that attach the ND2 to the input panel (reverse of Figure 3). The yellow wire corresponds to the
positive terminal, and the yellow and black wire corresponds to the negative terminal. Reattach the horn to the enclo-
sure using the (12) screws.
5. Reattach the grille using the (6) screws (reverse of Figure 2).

Adjusting the HF Level:
The PX1122M and PX1152M loudspeakers have a jumper that allows for attenuation of the HF level by 3 dB.
1. Remove the (6) screws that attach the grille to the enclosure (Figure 5).
2. Remove the (4) screws that attach the woofer to the enclosure, and disconnect the wires that attach the woofer to the
input panel (Figure 6).
3. The crossover is located on the inside of the enclosure, on the right rear wall. Move the jumper on the bottom of the
crossover to the desired location (Figure 7).
4. Reconnect the wires that attach the woofer to the input panel (reverse of Figure 6). The red wire corresponds to the
positive terminal, and the red and black wire corresponds to the negative terminal. Reattach the woofer to the enclosure
using the (4) screws.
5. Reattach the grille using the (6) screws (reverse of Figure 5).
