Overview
The Electro-Voice ZLX-12BT is a high power, 1000W Class D Powered speaker distributed to a 12″ LF Driver and a 1.5″ Titanium HF driver.
Onboard DSP enables it to be tweaked according to purpose. As a floor monitor, flexibility in this regard is a welcome feature.
Bluetooth music streaming makes it a great tool for buskers and cafe musicians looking for a one-speaker solution.
If you need a great, loud and clear floor monitor with DSP that is equally adept at small gigs as with big stages, the ZLX-12BT is a good choice.
