Description Thank you for choosing the Electro-Voice ZxA1 loudspeaker system. Please take time to consult this manual so that you can understand all the features built into your EV system and fully utilize all its performance capabilities. The Electro-Voice ZxA1 powered loudspeaker is a fully integrated audio system with carefully matched electronics and transducers. This product makes it easy to setup a high quality sound system quickly with a minimum amount of cables and external electronics.
Tripod and Floor Monitor Operation Floor Monitor Electro-Voice ZxA1 loudspeakers may be used as a floor monitor by placing the speaker on the integral monitor angle. Make sure to: • Place the speaker on a level, stable surface that is solid and secure. • Route cables and position the stand so that performers, production crew and audience members will not trip over the stand or cables and pull the speaker system over. Secure cables with wire ties or tape whenever possible.
Suspending ZxA1 Loudspeakers Electro-Voice ZxA1 loudspeakers may be safely suspended with single stud fittings by using the MP1 suspension kit, or quickly attached to a truss by using the CA-Zx truss clamp adaptor (both sold seperately). See MP1 or CA-Zx instruction sheets for proper assembly and use. WARNING: Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of rigging objects overhead.
Rotating the 90° Horn The 90° version of the ZxA1 allows for the horn to be rotated for more effective coverage if desired. The horn is factory-installed with the 90° coverage in the horizontal plane and the 50° coverage in the vertical plane. The 100° version of the ZxA1 has the same coverage pattern in both the horizontal and vertical planes, so rotating the horn will not change the coverage pattern. To rotate the horn follow the steps below: 1. Remove the grille screws / grille assembly. 2.
Amplifier Controls Quick Setup To get the ZxA1 into operation as quickly as possible, please observe the following steps and precautions: • Make sure power switch is in the off position before plugging in power cord. • Plug the 3-terminal IEC-standard AC cable into a grounded line receptacle.
Amplifier Controls (cont’) MASTER Level control for adjusting the power amp’s overall amplification. The level control affects the volume of the line input and microphone input. To prevent distortion and clipping of pre-linked mixing consoles, the control should generally be set to a value between 0dB and +6dB. LIMIT The LED brief blinking indicates that the power amplifier is operated at its limits. Short-term blinking is uncritical, because the integrated limiter keeps distortion under control.
