The EKX series is the newest member of the Electro-Voice portable loudspeaker family. It combines legendary EV sound quality and reliability with the latest technology, all in a compact package that is suitable for a wide range of sound reinforcement scenarios, including musicians, DJs, installations and other sound applications. The EKX-12P features a 12" LF driver and a 1" titanium compression driver, along with a 1500W Class D power amplifier.

EV-engineered components and EV’s patented Signal Synchronized Transducers (SST) waveguide design combine to provide precise coverage and superior sound quality at high SPLs. EV’s award-winning industrial design — with robust wood enclosures and durable EVCoat finish — ensures that EKX speakers look as great as they sound. EKX-12P delivers up to 132 dB SPL utilizing high-sensitivity transducers designed and engineered by EV (12-inch EVS-12M woofer coupled with a DH-1M 1-inch titanium compression driver).

The EKX amplifier incorporates intelligent thermal management (with a variable-speed fan controlled by multiple onboard sensors) which ensures superior performance and reliability in demanding environmental conditions. Powered subwoofer models allow easy setup via three (3) presets (Music, Live, Club), sub/top system-match crossovers, five (5) user-programmable presets (Store and Recall settings), visual monitoring of limiter status, input level meters, and master volume control to ensure optimal gain structure.

EKX active models feature lightweight and compact 15-mm wood enclosures with internal bracing, durable EVCoat finish, aluminum pole-mounts, and all-metal handles.
