!

Warning!

Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals

who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects

overhead. Electro-Voice strongly recommends all loudspeakers be suspended taking into

account all current national, federal, state, and local laws and regulations. It is the

responsibility of the installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance

with all such requirements. When loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly

recommends the system be inspected at least once per year or as laws and regulations

require. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken

immediately. The user is responsible for making sure the wall, ceiling, or structure is capable

of supporting all objects suspended overhead. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker

not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.

!

Warning!

Do not suspend this product in any other manner than explicitly described in this manual, or

Electro-Voice

installation guides. Do NOT use handles to suspend the loudspeaker. Handles

on Electro-Voice

Description

Thank you for choosing an Electro-Voice

powered loudspeaker system. Please take time to
consult the manual to understand all the features built into your EV system and fully utilize its
performance capabilities.

ROCK SOLID SOUND: Electro-Voice ELX200 portable loudspeakers

The ELX200 series is the newest member of the best-selling Electro-Voice portable
loudspeaker family. Positioned above ZLX and below the EKX series, the ELX200 series
features ten models (five powered and five passive), including 10-inch, 12-inch and 15-inch
two-way models, and 12-inch and 18-inch subwoofers.

Every aspect of ELX200 is designed for ideal results as part of the whole – the acoustical,
electrical and mechanical components all work together seamlessly. The full-range models
feature a low profile form factor designed with a high-spec composite enclosure to balance
weight, manageability, as well as structural integrity. The subwoofers pack powerful low­frequency output into a surprisingly compact footprint, and feature tuned 15 mm thick wood
enclosures with a premium top-coat finish. The proprietary features that have made the other
members of the EV portable speaker family a go-to for best-in-class performance are also
present: Class-D amplifier design (1200 W), QuickSmartDSP, and the Signal Synchronized
Transducers (SST) waveguide concept.

The new QuickSmart Mobile wireless control and monitoring application, using Bluetooth®
Low Energy (BTLE) technology, allows intuitive system control, configuration and monitoring
of up to six powered ELX200 loudspeakers simultaneously. Receive alerts when your system is
being overdriven, and control your system while in front of your speakers, not behind.

Bluetooth® is available in select countries.

EV's industry-leading quality and testing procedures yield efficient transducer design and
meaningful specs, resulting in components that deliver accurate, linear response at the
system’s highest output levels. Translation: loud and clear all the way up to the limit. Unified in
one of the strongest full-range composite enclosures ever built by EV. The ELX200 is
established as the new benchmark for toughness – both acoustically and physically; maximum
efficiency with maximum toughness.

Suspension

The ELX200 enclosures have three M10 threaded points; two points on top of the enclosure
and one point on the bottom. Forged shoulder eyebolts rated for overhead suspension may be
used to suspend an individual loudspeaker, such as the EBK1-M10-3PACK accessory.

!

Warning!

Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals

who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects

overhead. Electro-Voice strongly recommends all loudspeakers be suspended taking into

account all current national, federal, state, and local laws and regulations. It is the

responsibility of the installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance

with all such requirements. When loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly

recommends the system be inspected at least once per year or as laws and regulations

require. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken

immediately. The user is responsible for making sure the wall, ceiling, or structure is capable

of supporting all objects suspended overhead. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker

not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.

B

Figure 4.1: Suspension points (A top, B bottom)

Prior to use, inspect the suspension points and associated hardware for any cracks,
deformations, broken welds, corrosion, missing or damaged components which could reduce
the suspension points strength. Replace any damaged hardware. Never exceed the limitations
or maximum recommended load intended for the suspension points. As an added safety
measure, it is suggested the user install an extra suspension point back to the building
structural supports. This redundant safety point should have as little slack as possible (less
than one inch is preferable). Prior to each use, inspect the loudspeaker enclosures for any
cracks, deformations, missing or damaged components, which could reduce enclosure
strength. Replace any loudspeaker systems damaged or missing hardware.

System protection

System protection limiters indicate when a system is exceeding recommended usage by
indicating CLIP or LIMIT on the LCD display.

CLIP

Figure 5.4: Clipping system status

CLIP indicates the signal to the loudspeaker is too high, resulting in a clipped signal into the

loudspeaker. If CLIP is shown, reduce the input gain knob and/or the signal on the mixer or
source equipment.

LIMIT

OR

Figure 5.5: Limit system status

Electro-Voice Installation manual 2017.06 | 01 | F.01U.326.891

LIMIT protects the loudspeaker from short-term peaks which can cause distortion. When
LIMIT is shown small on the screen, the limiter is active but keeps distortion under control.
The large LIMIT indicates the sound is negatively affected. Reducing the output volume
(MASTER VOL) is strongly recommended when the large limit indication is shown.

DSP controls

An integrated DSP control menu allows the user to select multiple DSP system settings on the

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause(s) Action

1. No sound Amplifier Connect a known working test loudspeaker to the
amplifier outputs. If there is no sound, verify all the
electronics are on, the signal routing is correct, the
source is active; the volume is turned up, etc.
Correct/repair/replace as necessary. If there is sound,
the problem is wiring.

Wiring Verify you have connected the correct cables to the

amplifier. Play something at a low level through the
amplifier. Connect the test loudspeaker in parallel with
the malfunctioning line. If the sound level is gone or is
very weak, the line has a short in it (possibly a severe
scrape, pinch, or a missed connection). Using the test
loudspeaker, move down the line and test each
connection/junction until you find the problem and
correct it. Observe proper polarity.

2. Poor Low-

Frequency
Response

With SUB menu
cross-over frequency
activated

If no subwoofers are used with the system, select the
OFF position.

3. Intermittent output

such as cracking or
distortion

Faulty connection Check all connections at amplifier and loudspeakers to

ensure they are all clean and tight. If the problem
persists, check the wiring. See problem 1.

4. Constant noise

such as buzzing,
hissing or humming

Defective source or
other electronic
device

If noise is present, but no program material is playing,
evaluate each component as necessary to isolate the
problem. Most likely there is a break in the signal path.

Poor system
grounding or ground
loop

Check and correct the system grounding, as required.

Input gain knob is
not in the MIC
position

Slowly increase the input gain knob level to engage the
microphone pre-amp.

5. No sound produced

with microphone
connected to INPUT
1 or INPUT 2

Microphone requires
phantom power.

Use a dynamic microphone that does not require
phantom power. If using a microphone requiring
phantom power, an external phantom power source is
needed

Input gain knob is
not in the MIC
position

Slowly increase the input gain knob level to engage the
microphone pre-amp.

6. Sound is distorted

front LED is OFF,
LCD screen LIMIT is
ON

Excessive input level Reduce the input level or loudspeaker level knobs to

prevent limit.

Problem Possible Cause(s) Action

Incorrect gain
structure or source
input (mixing
console/preamp) is
overdriven

Verify level controls of the source are properly structured
by using the VU meter indicator on the LCD screen. If the
VU meter bar is solid or the system indicates LIMIT, the
input or source level is too high.

7. Microphone
produces acoustic
feedback when
input level is
amplified

Incorrect gain
structure

Reduce the microphone levels at the mixing console or
input source. If the microphone is connected directly to
the speaker, reduce the input level on the speaker.
Positioning the microphone close to the sound source
increases gain-before-feedback. See problem 6.

MODE is set to
MUSIC

Change the MODE to LIVE or SPEECH.

Microphone position
is too close to the
front of the
loudspeaker

Whenever possible setup the loudspeakers so the
microphone is behind them. If using the loudspeaker in a
monitor position, aim the loudspeaker to the back of the
microphone.

8. DSP menu is locked The Menu Lock

function has been
turned on. A lock
symbol displays on
the LCD screen.

Press and hold the MASTER VOL knob for 5 seconds.

9. QuickSmart Mobile
app does not
detect the
loudspeaker

Enable Bluetooth® Ensure Bluetooth® is enabled on the loudspeaker.

If these suggestions do not solve your problem, contact your nearest Electro-Voice dealer or
Electro-Voice

distributor.
