    Why do my Electro-Voice ELX200-18SP-AP Speakers have no sound?
    • D
      Danielle MartinezSep 12, 2025
      If your Electro-Voice speakers aren't producing sound, there could be several reasons. First, verify that all electronic components are powered on, the signal routing is correctly configured, the audio source is active, and the volume is appropriately adjusted. If there is still no sound, the issue might stem from the wiring. Make sure the correct cables are connected to the amplifier. Play audio at a low level through the amplifier, then connect a test loudspeaker in parallel with the malfunctioning line. If the sound disappears or becomes very weak, the line likely has a short circuit. Use the test loudspeaker to check each connection until you identify and fix the problem, ensuring correct polarity.

    How to stop acoustic feedback from Electro-Voice ELX200-18SP-AP when using a microphone?
    • R

      To stop acoustic feedback from your Electro-Voice speakers when using a microphone, you can take several steps. First, reduce the microphone levels at the mixing console or input source. If the microphone is directly connected to the speaker, lower the input level on the speaker. Positioning the microphone closer to the sound source can increase gain-before-feedback. Also, if the MODE is set to MUSIC, change it to LIVE or SPEECH. Finally, position the loudspeakers so the microphone is behind them whenever possible. If using the loudspeaker in a monitor position, aim the loudspeaker to the back of the microphone.

    Why are my Electro-Voice ELX200-18SP-AP making a constant buzzing noise?
    • W
      watkinscrystalAug 23, 2025
      Constant noise such as buzzing, hissing, or humming from your Electro-Voice speakers can stem from several causes. It could be a defective source or another electronic device; if the noise is present even when no program material is playing, evaluate each component to isolate the problem, as there's likely a break in the signal path. Poor system grounding or a ground loop can also cause this issue, so check and correct the system grounding as needed. Additionally, ensure the input gain knob is properly adjusted; slowly increase the input gain knob level to engage the microphone pre-amp.

    Why do my Electro-Voice Speakers have intermittent cracking?
    • T
      Trevor ReidAug 26, 2025
      Intermittent output, such as cracking or distortion in your Electro-Voice speakers, is often due to a faulty connection. Check all connections at the amplifier and loudspeakers to ensure they are clean and tight. If the problem persists, inspect the wiring.

    Why is there no sound from my Electro-Voice ELX200-18SP-AP when using a microphone?
    • C
      Charles UnderwoodAug 27, 2025
      If no sound is produced when a microphone is connected to INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 on your Electro-Voice speakers, it could be due to a couple of reasons. The microphone might require phantom power; if so, use a dynamic microphone that doesn't need it, or use an external phantom power source. Also, ensure the input gain knob is properly adjusted by slowly increasing the input gain knob level to engage the microphone pre-amp.

      Teresa GonzalezAug 30, 2025
      If the DSP menu on your Electro-Voice speakers is locked (indicated by a lock symbol on the LCD screen), it means the Menu Lock function has been activated. To unlock it, press and hold the MASTER VOL knob for 5 seconds.

    Why do my Electro-Voice ELX200-18SP-AP produce acoustic feedback?
    • K
      Kristen MarshallSep 1, 2025
      If your Electro-Voice Speakers produce acoustic feedback when the input level is amplified, there are several potential causes. First, the gain structure may be incorrect; try reducing the microphone levels at the mixing console or input source, or 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 help increase gain-before-feedback. Second, ensure the MODE is set to LIVE or SPEECH, not MUSIC. Finally, adjust the loudspeaker setup so the microphone is behind them, or if using the loudspeaker in a monitor position, aim the loudspeaker to the back of the microphone.

    What to do if Electro-Voice ELX200-18SP-AP have no sound with microphone?
    • M
      Melanie OconnorSep 5, 2025
      If your Electro-Voice Speakers aren't producing sound when a microphone is connected to INPUT 1 or INPUT 2, the issue might be related to the microphone itself or the input settings. If the microphone requires phantom power, either use a dynamic microphone that doesn't need it, or use an external phantom power source. Also, make sure the input gain knob is not in the MIC position; slowly increase the input gain knob level to engage the microphone pre-amp.

      Tony CameronSep 7, 2025
      If your Electro-Voice Speakers have intermittent output with cracking or distortion, a faulty connection could be the cause. Check all connections at the amplifier and loudspeakers to ensure they are clean and tight. If the problem persists, inspect the wiring as described in the 'No Sound' troubleshooting section.
