The Electro-Voice
ZX1i is the new standard of no compromise audio performance
The high-tech enclosure uses injection-molded high-impact polypropylene to make
the ZX1i extremely durable. The enclosure geometry has been engineered to
mounting system. The QuickSAM
is a unique, integrated mounting bracket which is virtually
foolproof. It allows the installer to simply snap the speaker onto the bracket, then
tighten it to the desired position. For array mounting, there is an optional array

the higher (vocal) frequencies and the program continues without interruption. Low
frequency current is limited through the transformer eliminating low frequency
the amplifier rating). With the same 50Hz Hi-Pass, 10 speakers on transformers
will have the same full sound as a single speaker at 8 ohms.

All three Zx1i models use an 8-inch highexcursion LF driver and a 1-inch exit
titanium compression driver on a
rotatable horn to provide high-fidelity, fullrange sound over a wide coverage area.
The system also features the exclusive
QuickSAMTM mounting system for easy
mounting and aiming.

QuickSAM™ (Strong-Arm-Mount™) System
Zx1i™s QuickSAM™ system (Strong-Arm-Mount™) excels at meeting the four important
requirements for mounting speaker systems: simple, quick, versatile, and reliable. Three
easy steps and you are done: Securely attach the surface bracket to the wall or ceiling,
click the Zx1i™ enclosure onto the bracket, aim the enclosure and tighten both bolts.
WARNING: Bolt “B” in Figure 2 must be tightened. Failure to
tighten Bolt “B” may allow the speaker to disengage from the
QuickSAMTM Bracket, possibly resulting in serious injury.
