Electrovoice ELX200-12-W White

ELX200: a speaker designed for portable sound reinforcement and regular gigs

The Electro-Voice ELX200-12-W fits within a modern sound reinforcement approach: a easily transportable format, controlled dispersion, and robust construction, all in a white version particularly suited for venues where visual discretion matters (events, places of worship, multipurpose rooms, fixed installations). As a passive speaker, it naturally integrates into existing systems with external amplification and allows for scalable setups according to needs.

Who is it for and what are the uses?

This speaker is designed for service providers, bands, DJs, technicians, and sound engineers seeking a reliable solution for concerts, conferences, events, and music playback. Its 12-inch format offers an excellent balance between impact and ease of transport, while remaining relevant as a fill speaker or delay. Thanks to its controlled dispersion, it helps cover a listening area evenly, whether on stage, in a room, or in mobile setups.

Acoustic design: clarity, projection, and control

EV transducers and optimized filtering

The ELX200-12-W combines a 12-inch driver (EVS-12M) and a 1-inch tweeter (DH-1L) with titanium diaphragm. This pairing aims for balanced reproduction, with present midrange and defined highs to preserve vocal intelligibility and instrument attack. The 1.7 kHz crossover structures the transition between low-mid and high frequencies to maintain a coherent response across the spectrum.

SST waveguide: more consistent dispersion

The SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers) waveguide contributes to controlled projection, with a 90deg x 60deg dispersion. Practically, this facilitates placement in varied environments (small stages, reverberant rooms, indoor events) by limiting overly strong or weak zones and improving audience coverage when the speaker is pole-mounted via the 35 mm socket.

System integration: external amplification and crossover settings

As a passive model, the ELX200-12-W is driven by your amplification and processing. The recommended high-pass frequency at 50 Hz optimizes efficiency and power handling, especially when paired with a subwoofer. The specified impedance of 8 ohms (7.2 ohms minimum) and the 2 Speakon (NL4) connectors simplify wiring, including daisy-chaining depending on your configuration.
