The world’s best

compact loudspeaker

just got amped

The original ZX1 compact loudspeaker shook the industry with its stunning combination of style and sound quality. Now we’ve added power to the equation: introducing the ZXA1 amplified compact loudspeaker.

Most people know EV for our world-class loudspeakers. So what’s so special about an EV amplifier? EV amps are the choice of the world’s biggest tours and events. In fact, ZXA1’s amp design is derived from our flagship Tour Grade series — the benchmark for rugged reliability, technological innovation and audio excellence.

Equipped with all the headroom and protection circuitry the pro’s expect from EV, ZXA1’s powerful 800 watt engine packs all our amp design know-how into a space where other amps simply cannot fit. A sonically superior 8” woofer and titanium compression driver complete the picture.

At under 20 lbs, all this adds up to deliver a heavyweight punch in a super-light package. When you hear ZXA1, we think you’ll agree that it’s unlike any other portable loudspeaker on the planet.

Big power has never been so portable… or looked so good.
