Why do my Electro-Voice ELX115P have constant buzzing, hissing, or humming noise?
- R
  Ryan JohnstonAug 22, 2025
  If your Electro-Voice Speakers emit constant noise like buzzing, hissing, or humming, and no program material is playing, the issue likely stems from the signal chain within the electronics. Evaluate each component to pinpoint the source of the noise. Also, check and correct the system grounding as needed to resolve potential ground loop issues. Finally, verify that the level controls of the source are properly structured and that the MIC/LINE switch is in the correct position.

- M
  Margaret BarnesAug 25, 2025
  If your Electro-Voice Speakers have intermittent output issues like crackling or distortion, check all connections at the amplifier and speakers. Make sure that all connections are clean and tight. If the problem continues, the issue might be with the amplifier or the wiring.

How to stop acoustic feedback from Electro-Voice Speakers when using a microphone?
- T
  Tiffany WilliamsAug 26, 2025
  To stop acoustic feedback from Electro-Voice Speakers when using a microphone, reduce the microphone levels at the mixing console or input source. If the microphone is connected directly to the speaker, reduce the input level on the speaker. Positioning the microphone close to the sound source will increase gain-before-feedback. Set the NORMAL/BOOST switch to the NORMAL position for vocal applications. Position the speakers so the microphone is behind them whenever possible, or if using the speakers in a monitor position, aim the speaker to the back of the microphone.

What to do if sound from Electro-Voice Speakers is distorted and the LIMIT LED is constantly on?
- W

  If the sound from your Electro-Voice Speakers is distorted and the LIMIT LED is constantly on or flashing, reduce the input level or loudspeaker level knobs to prevent limit. If you have a line level source connected to INPUT 2 with the MIC/LINE switch in the MIC position, set the MIC/LINE switch to the LINE position.

Why is there no sound from my Electro-Voice ELX115P Speakers when a microphone is connected to input 2?
- M
  Matthew Long Jr.Aug 30, 2025
  If there is no sound from your Electro-Voice Speakers when a microphone is connected to input 2, it may be because the microphone requires phantom power. Use a dynamic microphone that does not require phantom power. If using a microphone that requires phantom power, an external phantom power source will be needed. Also, ensure that the MIC / LINE switch is in the MIC position.

Why is the sound distorted on my Electro-Voice Speakers even though the LIMIT LED is not blinking?
- J
  Jennifer EspinozaSep 1, 2025
  If the sound is distorted on your Electro-Voice Speakers and the LIMIT LED is not blinking, verify the level controls of the source are properly structured, because the source input (mixing console/preamp) may be overdriven.

How to improve poor low-frequency response on Electro-Voice Speakers?
- E
  Elizabeth JohnsonSep 3, 2025
  To improve poor low-frequency response on your Electro-Voice Speakers, ensure the FULL RANGE / WITH SUB switch is set to the FULL RANGE position. If the WITH SUB switch is activated, this will cause a reduction in low frequencies.

What to do if Electro-Voice ELX115P produce no sound with a microphone connected?
- C
  Christina KennedySep 5, 2025
  If your Electro-Voice Speakers produce no sound, and a microphone is connected to input 2, it may be because the microphone requires phantom power. You can either use a dynamic microphone that doesn't need phantom power or use an external phantom power source. Alternatively, the MIC/LINE switch might be in the LINE position; ensure it's set to the MIC position.

Why is the sound distorted on my Electro-Voice ELX115P and the LIMIT LED is on?
- A
  Ashley LopezSep 8, 2025
  If your Electro-Voice Speakers' sound is distorted and the LIMIT LED is constantly on or flashing regularly, the input level might be too high. Reduce the input level or adjust the loudspeaker level knobs to prevent limiting. Also, if a line-level source is connected to INPUT 2 with the MIC/LINE switch in the MIC position, set the MIC/LINE switch to the LINE position.

How to stop acoustic feedback from Electro-Voice ELX115P with a microphone?
- L
  Lauren MartinezSep 10, 2025
  If your Electro-Voice Speakers are producing acoustic feedback when the input level is amplified, it could be due to incorrect gain structure. Try reducing the microphone levels at the mixing console or input source. If the microphone is directly connected to the speaker, reduce the input level on the speaker. Positioning the microphone closer to the sound source can also increase gain-before-feedback. Also, if the NORMAL/BOOST switch is in the BOOST position, set it to the NORMAL position for vocal applications. Finally, make sure that the microphone is not too close to the front of the speaker; position the speakers so the microphone is behind them, or if using the speakers in a monitor position, aim the speaker to the back of the microphone.
