Product Review My EV ZXA1SUB 12 inch Compact Powered Subwoofers made their debut during this past Labor Day weekend and they did the job magnificently. I have saved room in my small SUV so I can pack everything I need for my small to medium gigs (50-200 people). Much need punch in a compact size musically, and lightweight to carry saves stress on my back. Excellent product that I highly recommend to mobile DJs.

Product Review Paired with the EV ZLX15's this has been a great small venue combo for both live and recorded music. My only complaint is the on/off switch doesn't have a light or color to designate on or off, so it can be left on inadvertently.

Reliability & Sound Quality

Product Review I’ve been primarily performing in an acoustic duo for the past 10+ years. My longtime partner is a music professor who accepted a tenured position at the end of the last year. As we utilized looping pedals and octave pedals to layer and texture creating bass lines and beats, he decided to invest into a sub. He bought this one. There was never an issue. I mean, never. Obviously, depending on the size of the room and materials of the room’s construction, you didn’t want to push the thing too hard. But man, you could really push it when need be. I recently bought one myself to replace the absence of his. We used to get compliments on our sound all the time and I get them now. In my opinion, it’s the best sub on the market and worth every penny.

Product Review I bought the EV 12in subs and they are a mobile DJs dream speaker! The EV has the soul of 15inch but in a 12inch body. It packs a 700 watt Amp so you get powerful lows. Couple these subs with a ZLX 12 up-top and you will never have to worry about getting anything else. Both the sub and 12in ZLX are light, fit in your trunk and are very portable. I'm beyond pleased and I can't wait for the my next gig.

Perfect “thump”

Product Review I needed a little something to add some “oomph” to the overall live mix and this was perfect. It’s easy to move in very late. But it packs a wallop. It’s a 12 inch speaker that has a decent “throw”. A 15 would’ve been too much for my situation. The 12 adds clarity and a “tighter” punch. .

Product Review Perfect for the mobile DJ that performs at different sized events and venues. Whether you need a small amount of bass for a house party, 2 for a hall or use 4 for a gymnasium. These little babies handle like a dream. And are well worth the price. Their size is perfect when you have cram them in your vehicle. Absolutely love these EVs.

Product Review Whether you're a DJ with plenty of gigs or someone who just love DJ gears, there's no reason not to like this sub. For the size and the price you can't go wrong with this. I have two of these subs now (bought the first one from AMS back in 2013.) I was happy with it the moment I first listened to it, I just had to get another one just to pair them up. Now just because they receive good reviews doesn't mean you have to crank them all the way up. They're 12-inch woofers for God's sake, not 18 or even 15. If you have some good reputable top speakers then 2 of these little subs can rock 100-250 people easily, especially indoors. I remember when I used to struggle with one heavy passive 18-inch subs back in the days. NO MORE HEAVY SUB FOR ME. I can carry both at once without breaking a sweat.

Product Review I play in a band and own a PA rental company. For the band we use Cervin Vega powered 15's and/or Yamaha DS Powered 15's. This little EV is NOT one of those. If you want HUGE bass that thumps you in the chest in big rooms, don't get this EV sub. However, this little EV produces excellent bass sound that you CAN feel in smaller rooms. The day after I received it, I took it to a business meeting PA rental gig. It was in a 3000 sq' room that I work all the time. The sub was easy to set up and dial in. After I set everything up I put on some bass heavy dance music and cranked it. OMG, I could not believe how killer the low end sounded and I was only using one of these EV subs. I have since used it at dance parties and other events, and I will be purchasing another one soon. The reason I bought this for my PA rental business was because I needed something smaller that would fit in my employee’s car and be light enough for one person to move it! This thing fits the bill. I also wanted something that could stand up to rental customer abuse and not cost too much. Here are the cons: The finish on the sub is not as tough as on my Cerwin Vegas or my Yamahas, and it scratches pretty easy. After a while, all my speaker cabs get pretty banged up, so that doesn’t really bother me, but it might bother you. Get the cover if that is the case. The Pole Mount: The sub will take a standard pole to mount your top speaker. However, the rating on the sub states that the top speaker must weigh LESS than 25 pounds. None of my speakers weigh less than 25 pounds, so I have to set up a tripod stand instead of using the pole. Keep that in mind. The Thru/Out XLR’s. This is a minor thing, but there is only one thru/output per channel. My CV and Yamaha’s have two, so when I only use one subwoofer, routing is easier with them. Not a deal breaker, but something you might want to know. I purchased this from AMS on a Scratch and Dent deal, so there was a big savings. It arrived more beat up than I thought it would, but not enough to want to send it back.

Product Review This thing is so weak it sounds like it's 50 Watts not 700, and super easy to pop the protection circuit. Go with the Yamaha 12 sub instead. I can't believe people like this thing and have given it positive reviews. This product has soured me on EV for sure.

EV hits the mark again!

Very well constructed and dependable. Light and portable with plenty of power. Very easy to use. The ZX1A subs have a tight, punchy lows. Great for kick and bass. Your general opinion of this product. I use a pair of these EV subs along with the EV ZXA1 tops for my band PA. We are an 8-piece pro outfit performing mostly high end wedding and private function events in the 100 to 500 person range. Outdoor events, tents, function halls, as well as small to medium size clubs. Considering the small size of this PA, I can hear the snorts from the sound engineers as I write this. Believe you me however, this system really hits the mark far above anything that you would imagine. With a top end that is loud, clear and pleasing to the ear, along with subs that deliver tight punchy bass and kick that you can feel in your chest, I couldn't be happier. I would describe the sound as high fidelity, short throw, which is perfect for our needs. When you consider price and portability, there is nothing on the market today that comes remotely close to these. Don't be fooled by the small size, these subs and this system in general really kicks!!

Yes. I consider this product made well. Dependable, that needs to be tested in the months to come... Very light to carry. Punch can compete with my B-52 Matrix! Features are quite right for me. Easy to connect. With BBE 882I sonic maximizer, the little monster sounded great!
