General Description: Technical Specifications:
The Electro-Voice® Zx3 is the new standard of no compromise audio
performance and versatility in a simple to use, compact package. The ZX360PI features a molded polymer enclosure that is inherently water resistant.
The addition of a multilayer grille with hydrophobic cloth and a gland nut
input connection allows for a highly weather resistant system.
At its heart are the transducers. First is the DVX3121 high performance
low frequency transducer. EV used advanced computer aided design techniques to create forced air, directional voice coil cooling for high power and
efficiency. Finite element analysis was used to optimize the suspension
and magnetic structure for long, linear travel to provide low distortion and
greater LF extension. These features and details, such as forged magnetic
components and special materials, provide reliability with a 500W power
rating in a lightweight transducer. Next is the ND2, a 2-inch voice coil compression driver based on neodymium motor structure to allow for maximum
output while reducing size and weight to a minimum. Its precision phasing
plug and titanium diaphragm provide better HF performance, while the
integral heatsink provides cooling for high power output.
The high tech enclosure uses injection-molded high-impact polypropylene
structural foam to make the Zx3 incredibly durable. The enclosure geometry
elements have been carefully designed to provide maximum rigidity and
bass response. By design the Zx3 is also a perfect solution for stage monitors by allowing two angles (45° or 55°) without any additional accessories.
Two coverage patterns are available; 60° x 60° coverage for long-throw
and cluster applications, 90° x 50° coverage for wider coverage or shorter
distances.
The Zx3 is equipped with two anchor plates for rigging with single studfittings, along with two more possible anchor plate attachment points on
the bottom. For permanent suspension or attaching brackets, the Zx3 also
has two M8 inserts on the top and bottom, two under the handle, and one
on the back of the enclosure, for a total of 7. All versions are available in
black or white.
