Electro-Voice ZLX: Redefining Professional Audio Equipment

Award-winning design that combines style, functionality, and superior sound engineering

The Electro-Voice ZLX loudspeaker, designed by TEAMS Design, is a testament to the brand's commitment to innovation and excellence. With its unique design and cutting-edge features, the ZLX stands out in the crowded market of professional audio equipment.

One of the key strengths of the ZLX design is its attention to detail. The previous incarnation of the speakers was upgraded with design details that better convey the high-end audio engineering housed within. The sticker logo was replaced with a solid metal badge, adding a touch of sophistication. The silhouette of the speaker was reimagined with a dynamic angularity, conveying the brand's strength and modernity. The durable enclosure is marked by a brick-like pattern, adding a rugged yet stylish element to the design.

But it's not just about looks. The ZLX loudspeaker is designed with the user in mind. Musicians, DJs, and performers regularly transport and mount their speakers, and the ZLX makes it easier with three over-molded handles that offer multiple grip positions. This thoughtful feature enhances the user experience and sets the ZLX apart from its competitors.

When it comes to performance, the ZLX delivers. With an 18 gauge stainless steel grill and a polypropylene enclosure, the speaker is built to withstand the rigors of professional use. The 305 mm woofer and the 1000 W power ensure a powerful and clear sound, while the frequency range of 50 Hz - 20 kHz covers a wide spectrum of audio.

TEAMS Design worked closely with the Electro-Voice engineering team to develop an optimal interface display and graphic layout for the ZLX. The result is a user experience that communicates itself intuitively through a simple and logical layout. Users have precise control over their sound, thanks to the thoughtful mapping of user actions and the consideration of the most often used functions and settings.

The ZLX loudspeaker is not just a product of design expertise, but also extensive research. TEAMS Design interviewed pro audio users and store owners in the US and Europe to understand their needs and preferences. The consensus was clear: the best speakers offered precise control over sound without compromising on price or portability. The ZLX was designed to meet those practical concerns while also resonating with users visually, representing them well as professionals.

The Electro-Voice ZLX loudspeaker has received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2014 in the Digital and Electronic Device Design category. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to quality of life improvements and making the world a better place.

The Electro-Voice ZLX loudspeaker, with its unique design, superior sound engineering, and user-friendly features, is a testament to the brand's commitment to excellence. It sets a new standard in professional audio equipment, redefining what it means to be a high-quality, stylish, and functional loudspeaker.
