Electro-Voice introduces versatile ZX3 loudspeaker

Featuring the new DVX3121 12-inch woofer and the ND2 neodymium compression driver, ZX3 continues the innovation of the Electro-Voice DVX woofer program, joining the ranks of EV’s ZX series between the 8-inch ZX1 and the 15-inch ZX5. ZX3 made its debut at winter NAMM show 2008 in Anaheim. In addition to the highest performance drivers available, a complete range of optional accessories, including the CB3 array kit, MB3 wall/ceiling mount bracket, HA-3 handle adapter for use with the VSA-1 strong arm mount, and TCA-1 truss clamp adapter, allow ZX3 to be easily and precisely configured in multiple box arrays, mounted on truss or tripods, deployed as monitors, or used as system mains with a subwoofer. Housed in a stylish yet rugged injection molded enclosure, ZX3 shares the same functionality as the larger ZX5, with 90° x 50° or 60° x 60° horn dispersion patterns, 45° or 55° monitor angles, passive or bi-amp operation, and seven M8 rigging points. ZX3 is available in a weatherized version and in either black or white finish. The optional HDC-3 heavy duty stackable cover is also available. ZX3 weighs in at 50lbs (22.6kg) sized 24.17 in x 15.65 in x 14.3 in (614mm x 398mm x 363mm). It features 97 dB sensitivity at 1W at 1m, a maximum SPL of 131 dB, continuous power handling of 600 watts in passive mode, and continuous power handling of 500 watts LF and 40 watts HF in bi-amp mode.
