Product-related questions and answers:
Q: Does this speaker need an external amplifier?
• A: The ELX200-12P is an active speaker that includes a 1200W Class-D amplifier, which eliminates the need for an external amplifier.
Q: Can I pair this speaker with a subwoofer?
A: Yes, it features sub/top system-match crossovers in the QuickSmartDSP, making it easy to pair with an ELX200-series subwoofer like the ELX200-18SP for enhanced bass.
Q: How loud is 130 dB SPL in practical terms?
A: 130 dB SPL is very loud—comparable to a rock concert or jet engine at a distance. It’s suitable for medium-sized venues or outdoor events with 100-200 people, depending on acoustics.
Q: Is the Bluetooth app necessary to use the speaker?
• A: The onboard QuickSmartDSP interface allows complete control over the speaker. The Bluetooth app is optional for wireless adjustments and monitoring.
Q: How heavy is the speaker, and is it easy to carry?
A: While the exact weight isn’t listed on the page, it’s described as lightweight with a three-handle design, making it manageable for one person to transport, especially compared to older, heavier models.
Q: Can this speaker be used outdoors?
A: Yes, it’s portable and durable, but it’s not weatherproof. Stay away from rain or extreme conditions unless you have it covered.
Q: What’s the difference between the Music, Live, Speech, and Club presets?
A: Music is optimised for recorded playback, Live enhances clarity for performances, Speech prioritises vocal intelligibility, and Club boosts bass for dance environments. You can tweak them further with the EQ.
Q: Does it come with a protective cover?
A: While Electro-Voice doesn’t include a cover, they do offer a separate ELX200-12-CVR padded cover for protection during transport or storage.
Q: Is it suitable for a small venue or home use?
A: Yes, but its 1200W power and 130 dB SPL might be overkill for small spaces. You can adjust the volume and DSP settings to suit smaller environments.
