Electro-Voice ZLX-12P-G2
A second-generation powered speaker with mixing and processing for speech and music; identify ZLX-12P-G2 rather than the passive version.
Ask about rental or technical support
Start with the date, venue, and approximate needs. We assess options, configuration, and operation; availability and terms are confirmed in the proposal.
Model and connections
Separate mic/line inputs, compatible instrument source, Bluetooth playback, mixing and output. The app provides control; the local panel lets you verify settings without relying on a phone.
Prepare and check
Prepare speech priorities, pauses and playback. Record settings and the operator; describe sources, zones and program even before each microphone model is chosen.
A tentative running order and source list help us assess onboard mixing or adding a mixer. Send photos and describe who will speak and when music comes in, even if every microphone is not yet selected. We can assess rental, purchase, integration, or support for that use.
Questions and decisions
How do I prepare a speech system with onboard mixing?
Assign each source according to the manual and test it alone at moderate level. Check input signal, channel level and master before adding EQ, effects or dynamics. Then test speech over music from the audience. If the required mixes or control are unavailable, add a mixer or change distribution; a preset does not replace that decision.
Why does music drop when a microphone or instrument starts?
Check DUCKER on the selected inputs: signal detection can reduce other sources. Test one input and see whether its activity matches the reduction; disable that function if unwanted and repeat the transition. If unrelated, compare source and channel levels, mute and dynamics. These checks help distinguish a mixing setting from a Bluetooth issue or an equipment fault.
