BRAIN POWER

EV’s FIR-Drive utilizes the latest Finite Impulse Response
(FIR) filter technology to optimize transducer linearity.
Advanced limiter algorithms for independent peak and
thermal transducer protection.

Complete full-function DSP control via a single-knob
interface. LCD screen for easy system set-up and
monitoring: location/application EQ presets (e.g. tripod,
mounted, suspended, live, music, speech), limiter status,
input level controls/meters and master volume control to
ensure optimal gain structure. Parametric EQ allows for
more precise configuration. Subs feature a preset for true
cardioid performance.

EV-patented Signal Synchronized Transducers (SST)
waveguide design provides precise and consistent coverage
across all system configurations. Waveguides are custom­designed and optimized per model.

State-of-the-art components deliver the legendary EV sound
quality and reliability the pros trust: 1800 W (subs) and 2000
W (full-range) Class-D power amplifiers with integrated DSP
produce high SPLs utilizing high-sensitivity, low-distortion
transducers (including DVX and SMX series woofers and
precision DH3-B HF titanium compression drivers).

Lightweight, ergonomic, durable and compact 18-mm,
13-ply birch plywood enclosures finished with EVCoat. Eight
mounting points for permanent installations (full-range
models). Custom die-cast aluminum pole cups, handles and
hardware.

Designed, engineered, tested and assembled for
ultimate reliability by Electro-Voice in the USA.

MEET THE FAMILY

ETX-12P ETX-15P

ETX-35P

The new ETX Powered Loudspeaker family builds upon
the industry-leading innovation and 85-year heritage of
Electro-Voice audio engineering to offer the most advanced
professional-grade products for an array of applications.

A versatile choice for live entertainment venues, rental
companies, pro musicians and DJs, and installed sound, the
family offers technologies from EV concert/touring systems.
Three two-way models (10-inch, 12-inch and 15-inch, all with a
precision HF titanium compression driver), a three-way model
(15-inch with a 6.5-inch MF driver and a precision HF titanium
compression driver) and two subs (15-inch and 18-inch
drivers) are available.

Positioned above the ZLX and Live X families respectively, ETX
Powered Loudspeakers complete a trio of recent EV portable
loudspeaker offerings—each of which was designed to bring
best-in-class performance to its price point.

Inside each low-profile, tour-grade wood enclosure are a host
of unique new features that set ETX Powered Loudspeakers
apart, combining intelligent technology and innovative industrial
design for spectacular results across all applications. EV­engineered high-efficiency transducers and high-powered
Class-D amplifiers, Signal Synchronized Transducers (SST)
waveguide design and smart FIR-Drive DSP all work together
to provide peerless EV sound quality and precise coverage at
the highest SPLs.

SIGNAL SYNCHRONIZED TRANSDUCERS
SST WAVEGUIDE DESIGN

• Unique to the industry, with multiple design and utility
patents.

• Third generation (after Tour X FM and ZLX models).

• Waveguides custom-designed and optimized per model.

– This allows EV to design the waveguide to have uniform

beamwidth response throughout the waveguide’s
passband and allows a smooth transition between
woofer beamwidth and waveguide beamwidth.

– This also allows EV to use much larger waveguides

without making the speaker larger.

– This optimization also achieves a flat sound power—

critical to great sound in any application.

• The waveguide is placed forward in the enclosure to help
physically time-align the LF and HF transducers, minimizing
the need for latency correction via DSP.

• Placing the port under the waveguide positions it in its ideal
acoustic location in the enclosure without spacing the woofer
and driver apart. The port location minimizes distortion and
standing waves inside the loudspeaker.

• All waveguides are optimized using advanced simulation
software and proprietary algorithms for precise control and
lowest distortion.
