Thank you for this helpful review. I ended up purchasing two 15" tops and 1 18" sub ekx series and I'm impressed. Thinking of adding a second sub but I don't even think I need it. I've played in huge ballrooms and even outdoors at a park and the sound is amazing. I highly recommend these!

Thank You John for your review I also am a consumer and user of various lines of EV speakers. Just wanted to clear up one thing you mentioned. When you were in the Subwoofer portion of the DSP Menu you talked about communication with other speakers. For the record, so viewers of your video aren't confused, there is no communication with other speakers. As you showed not only are there settable crossover points such as 80, 100, 120 and 150 Hz EV has put options to allow people who also own certain EV tops to not have think about what crossover point that should be set. For example if you have an EV-18SP and also are using an EV-15P as a "top" the menu gives you the option to just set EV-15P as your crossover point and not have to think about the frequency that needs to be set. Truth be told it is just a marketing ploy because, depending on the top you use, it is setting the sub to crossover at one of the numerical crossover frequencies also available in the menu such as the 80, 100 Hz points etc. Also the xlr outputs on the sub are not affected by the crossover point you set on the subs menu. Xlr Outputs 1 and 2 are a throughput out. They are connected in parallel inputs 1 and 2 respectively. Whatever signal exists at input 1 is the exact same signal at output 1 and whatever signal exists at input 2 is the exact same signal at output 2. The outputs are not "mix" outputs like some subs from other companies have. The crossover point that has been set on the sub just limits the frequency range of the sub therefore when you the sub's crossover point you also need to set the crossover point on your tops/mains to either the same point or close depending on if you prefer an "overlapping" of bottom end from subs and mains or not. The output jacks on the subs and mains on these EVs are there for convenience so you don't have to run 4 xlr cables from your mixer. Due to the fact that the outputs on these speakers are full range and not affected by the crossover setting on either the subs or mains it really doesn't make a difference if you come out of your mixer into the sub's input and then out of your sub to the top/main speaker or vice versa.

Just installed a pair of these and one had a dent in the grille. I know it's cosmetic, but when you buy shiny brand new things, you want it to look nice. I was super impressed by the sound quality compared to our venues old PA, JBL EON 615s. They were good entry level speakers, but the EKX are definitely a step up in sound, volume, and clarity. I like the clip feature with the LED light, as a FOH mixer, it helps to see if I'm sending too hot a signal to the speakers. The JBLs we had were almost always close to the limiter with the heavy metal, punk, and rock shows we have had in the past. I look forward to this weekend when we have a band to see how much headroom I have in pushing vocals out. That was always a problem at our venue, the way the stage is shaped gives a very loud stage volume that the JBLs had issues matching or exceeding that volume in order for vocals to be heard. I think the EVs are going to do the trick and I shouldn't have any issues even with the loudest metal/punk/rock bands coming into our venue.

I did notice if it was ridiculously loud on stage I could still bounce off of the limiter, but they haven't shut down on me yet.

@quadvr Жыл бұрын
For 500 people you are going to need more all of your speakers. Option 1. Put the 2 Ekx 18sp on the left with a 12p and 15, and 2 Ekx 18sp on the left with a 12p and 15p -- have the 12 p face in toward the dance floor in a angle and the 15p face forward (this will cover all angles and fill up the room). Option 2 - put all 4 Ekx 18sp in middle of the dance floor and put 12p and 15p pair on left and right -- have the 12 p face in toward the dance floor in a angle and the 15p face forward. Option 2 will have hard hitting bass that will fill up the room. I would suggest using 80 hz cross over, it will sound much better. I also suggest looking into getting 2 Yorkville ES21P Elite Series 21, with 2 RCF 945A tops (this setup will out perform 4 Ekx 18sp, 2 Ekx 15p and 2 12p by a lot, and less equipment to carry around).

Go by ear when you are doing a sound test in the room - test out a song that has a lot of bass.

Hi my friend! I am doing dj in korea! I'm currently using two Ev-zlx15p at the party. But I'm feeling the limits of the speakers! So I'm looking for different brands of speakers, and I'm thinking about the Ev speakers and the sub-woofer combination. (Ev-zkx15p + Ev-zkx18sp) The price of the ztx series is too heavy. How many people do you think can be used at outdoor and indoor parties as zkx speakers? And I wonder if there is a difference between a 12-inch speaker + 15-inch sub-woofer and a 15-inch speaker + 18-inch sub-woofer. I'm going to set up my own speakers, and I wonder what kind of combination would be if I could only weigh the effectiveness of the speakers at the party without any inconvenience in size. I want to see the best efficiency in a reasonable price speaker.

Good question! If you’re without a sub and are needing more bass power, using the Club EQ preset would be a good idea. If you do have a sub, I recommend using the Music preset. Do some tests with your new equipment! Play some bass heavy music and some not super bass heavy music while these presets are on. It’s nice to be able to know what your speakers can do and what it might need depending on the gig.

Now when it comes out outside u def need 2 of this or even 4 . 2 on each side. Now we have done gigs with just a single sub ekx 18 but tbh the sound pressure with just a single sub it is not enough when u play outdoors and no walls around u to push or bounce the sound. So we have been sacrificing this baby at its maximum volume with peaking light all the times. Now it had done the job beautifully but now we have move to another set of subs. I do love the clean beautiful sound this produce but for live music you will see clipping and if u run drums on this things. You will need a pair of 4 def .

Yes you would need an external amp. I supposed the EKX 15 could handle a ZLX 15 on top as they aren't that heavy. My suggestion would be to go with the EKX 18 to get more frequency response. Assuming you got a pair of the 15's paired up with the ZLX 15's you already have would make for a ton of mid bass.

i belive djs in particular buy these boxes and do things with them that they weren't intented to do, for example I've seen a lot of djs buy the zlx and play them full range for 300 plus people in large rooms. these boxes were made for more intimate shows if your using them only. i believe in bring more to a show than i need in terms of sound meaning bring the sub, u can always turn it down. but you can't turn up what u don't have.

Thank you for understanding that holding a phone up to an 18 is dumb. I look for speaker reviews hoping to see the drivers and crossovers and whatnot but they just have a 21 second video of nothing but distortion.

I have the EV EKX 18SP running with RCF ART12A tops. I contemplated a long time between the EV EKX18sp and JBL PRX718 XLF. Decided on EV due to comprobable output, price and size/weight. Everything has got to fit in my SUV. Perfect choice for my type of gigs.

I own the ETX's 35P and 18SP's they are outstanding after mods. I play clubs and large events like live bands at maximum volume. You cannot beat the clarity and throw in the price range. The JBL SRX's are of similar quality but the EV's are cheaper and JBL Compression drivers are notorious for failing. $150 a pop. I have owned most brands of speakers in my career and I tote no flag bought lots of JBL C.D.'s. I also have the EV live-X 18" sub, it is a solid sub and you can tell the difference but it's a much lighter box and for the money, I'd buy the ETX's and replace the driver with a heavier magnet speaker like a Peavey Lo-Max, I've done this because the driver in my sub and 35p's both failed under warranty. when I got the replacements i pulled them and put 18 lo-max in the subs and 15 eminence Kilomax in the 35p's. The performance of the 35p's had a marginal improvement, noticeable, slightly, but I'll never blow it up. The 18sp ETX however gained a great deal of thump and very accurate tight bass with less farting at max hip hop. Very sweet indeed and of course I'll never blow that beast up EVER since it handles 4000 Watts continuous. EKX's will never beat the ETX's, it's the amp and size of Cab that makes the difference.

nice video...... i say look at jbl prx800 series also :). i own a set for 8 years now and they still rockin :). for a little more, srx828 and two 815's costs about 5 k........ i have heard the ekx's..... definitely not as clear and musical as the jbl boxes.... vocals thru jbl just sound better....in my opinion :)

The EKX and K series aren't even in the same family. The EKX are 750 watts continuous, 1500 peak. The k series is 1000 watts continuous, and 2000 watts peak. The SPL is pretty close however. Both are fantastic boxes. Keep in mind that when you push them to their limit, EKX will shut off, but the K series will lower themselves. But like I said, both are great boxes.

i have both boxes, and I've played through limit with the EKX I've never had them shut down. i agree with u there both great.
