Q: What type of events is the EKX-15SP best suited for?
A: It’s perfect for small to medium events like gigs, club nights, or presentations, delivering strong bass for crowds up to 300-500 people when paired with tops.
Q: Do I need two subs for the cardioid feature to work?
A: Yes, you’ll need at least two EKX-15SP units to use Cardioid Control, which directs bass forward and reduces stage noise.
Q: Is it easy to adjust the sound settings?
A: Yes, the QuickSmartDSP with its single-knob LCD interface makes tweaking low-pass filters and cardioid settings simple.
Q: Can I use this with non-EV speakers?
A: Yes, its XLR inputs and outputs make it compatible with any XLR-equipped system, though it pairs best with EV tops for optimal results.
Q: How portable is the EKX-15SP?
A: At 26.2 kg (57.7 lbs) with handles, it’s manageable for one person over short distances, but a trolley is handy for longer moves.
Q: Is it suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, for temporary outdoor gigs, but it’s not weatherproof, keep it protected from rain and extreme weather.
Q: What warranty does it come with?
A: Electro-Voice typically offers a 3-year warranty on powered speakers, but confirm with us for exact terms.
Q: Does it include a pole or cables?
A: No, it comes standalone; poles (e.g., ASP-58) and cables are sold separately unless part of a bundle.
Q: How does it handle high volumes?
A: The 1300W amp and DSP limiters ensure clean bass up to 133 dB SPL, performing well at high volumes without distortion.
Q: Can I stack multiple EKX-15SP units?
A: Yes, they can be stacked for more output, and cardioid mode enhances performance in such setups, just ensure they’re securely placed.
