The true compression DH2005 Driver is coupled to one of two
available horns. The 90° x 50° horn provides coverage for longer
throw and cluster applications while the 100° x 100° horn gives
broad even dispersion needed in many distributed audio
applications. An important added benefit is the rotatable horn design
allowing the ZX1i cabinet to be oriented either horizontally or
vertically for the ultimate in design flexibility.

The Electro-Voice ® ZX1i features a lightweight, sealed
enclosure that is inherently water resistant. The addition of a
multilayer grille and weatherized components enable the
ZX1i to perform under many environmental conditions. An
optional weatherized input panel cover with a glan nut is
available for additional protection.
T
he ElectroVoice ZX1 family of speaker
systems is truly an industry first. Never
before has a single speaker design been so
closely customized to a wide range of audio
applications. Consisting of 8 distinct
versions, a ZX1 model is available to fit
the need whether it’s part of a portable PA
for a local band or a large distributed sound
system for a major audio installation.
Delivering on this promise for fixed audio
installations, the ZX1i model is the new
standard of no compromise audio
performance and versatility in an easy to
install, lightweight and compact package.
Finally, a compact high performance
loudspeaker system designed exclusively for
the professional contractor to use in dozens of
different fixed installations. It doesn’t matter if
your requirements are providing a compact
sound reinforcement system in a church, a
complex background music system in a sports
bar or other high-energy environment or fill
sound in a large auditorium, the ZX1i can
solve the problem.
The ZX1 line of speakers can be summed up in two words:

• Choice of two available coverage patterns with horn
rotation feature
• All “t” versions have an 8 ohm bypass position
to allow low impedance operation
P e r f o r m a n c e
• True compression HF driver and 8” long throw woofer
provide smooth and wide frequency response

• Attractive ZX series family styling blends smoothly
with EV EVID series speaker systems

• The EV exclusive QuickSAM mount system enables
a more secure, faster installation experience
• 4 pin Phoenix style connector with pass through
terminals for quick and simple connections

The ZX1i is part of a complete
compact speaker system product line with
models for fixed installations distributed
systems, portable PA and even musician
vocal monitors. Each model incorporates a
wide range of features to make the system
attractive to every user.

The QuickSAM™ is a unique, integrated mounting bracket which is
virtually foolproof. It allows the installer to simply “click” and snap the
speaker onto the bracket then tighten it to the desired position

C o m p e n s a t i o n P r o t e c t s Y o u r A m p l i f i e r
A real problem with many high power 70/100v equipped speakers is their susceptibility to
transformer saturation, especially at low frequencies. All “t” versions of the ZX1i loudspeaker
incorporate our exclusive “ASC™” Automatic Saturation Compensation to address this problem.
ASC™ is a unique circuit to adjust the characteristics of the transformer that the amplifier sees to
create a “stable” load even at very high power levels. This feature virtually eliminates the
possibility of the amplifier going into protect mode or worse yet even damaging the amplifier.
The curve above shows the power draw of a conventional speaker
and the ZX1i over the frequency spectrum. As you can see, the
ZX1i provides a far more stable and gradual power curve to the
amplifier even at the lowest frequencies. No “spikes” means no
failed amplifiers!
