General Description:

The Electro-Voice® Zx3 is the new standard of no compromise audio performance and versatility in a simple to use, compact package.

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 reli- ability 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 polypropyl- ene 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 ad- ditional 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 stud- fittings, 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.

ZX3-90 specifications

The Electro-Voice ZX3-90 is a high-performance loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional sound quality in both professional and commercial settings. With its robust build and advanced engineering, it caters to a variety of audio applications, including live sound reinforcement, installations, and music performances.

One of the standout features of the ZX3-90 is its 12-inch low-frequency driver, which produces deep, rich bass tones. This driver is complemented by a 1.5-inch neodymium compression driver that delivers clear and detailed high frequencies. The combination of these components ensures that the ZX3-90 maintains a balanced and full-range sound, ideal for various audio content from music to speeches.

The ZX3-90 utilizes a unique Waveguide technology that provides controlled dispersion and optimized sound projection. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where sound needs to reach a wide audience without causing distortion or feedback. The 90-degree horizontal coverage angle helps to ensure that sound is evenly distributed throughout the listening area, making it a great choice for theaters, houses of worship, and live concert venues.

Another significant aspect of the ZX3-90 is its rugged construction. Built from durable materials, the speaker is designed to withstand the rigors of transport and regular use. The cabinet is constructed from a combination of high-density plywood and a robust paint finish, ensuring longevity while minimizing unwanted resonances that can color the sound.

The ZX3-90 also incorporates versatile rigging options, allowing for easy mounting and deployment in various configurations. Whether used as a stand-alone unit or as part of a larger speaker array, this loudspeaker can be quickly adapted to meet the needs of any performance or installation setup.

For added convenience, the ZX3-90 is designed with professional connectivity options, including multiple input and pass-through connections. This flexibility makes it compatible with a wide range of audio equipment, simplifying integration into existing systems.

In summary, the Electro-Voice ZX3-90 provides an excellent combination of sound quality, durability, and flexibility. Its innovative technologies and robust design make it a reliable choice for audio professionals seeking a powerful loudspeaker that can address a diverse array of sound reinforcement needs. Whether in a live setting or a fixed installation, the ZX3-90 stands out as a formidable option in the loudspeaker market.
