Why is my Electro-Voice speaker sound distorted and the LCD screen shows LIMIT?
- O
  Oscar WilliamsAug 21, 2025
  The sound distortion and the 'LIMIT' indication on the LCD screen of your Electro-Voice speaker usually means there's an excessive input level. Reduce the input level or loudspeaker level knobs to prevent limiting. It can also happen if the gain structure is incorrect or the source input (mixing console/ preamp) is overdriven. Check the level controls of the source using the VU meter on the LCD screen. If the VU meter bar is solid or the system indicates LIMIT, the input or source level is too high.

What to do if my Electro-Voice EVL-ZLX-12P-BT have constant noise like buzzing or hissing?
- E
  Elizabeth MitchellAug 22, 2025
  If your Electro-Voice speakers produce constant noise such as buzzing, hissing, or humming, and no program material is playing, the issue likely stems from the signal chain in the electronics. Evaluate each component to isolate the problem. Also, check and correct the system grounding, as required, to eliminate potential ground loops. Verify level controls of the source are properly structured by using the VU meter indicator on the LCD screen. If the VU meter bar is solid or the system indicates LIMIT the input or source level is too high.

How to stop acoustic feedback from Electro-Voice EVL-ZLX-12P-BT Speakers and a microphone?
- G
  George KlineAug 25, 2025
  To reduce acoustic feedback from your Electro-Voice speakers when using a microphone, first, 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. Change the MODE to LIVE or SPEECH. Whenever possible, set up the speakers so the microphone is behind them. If using the speakers in a monitor position, aim the speaker to the back of the microphone.

What to do if my Electro-Voice EVL-ZLX-12P-BT have intermittent output with crackling or distortion?
- B
  Bryan ConnerAug 27, 2025
  If you're experiencing intermittent output, such as crackling or distortion, from your Electro-Voice speakers, check all connections at the amplifier and speakers to ensure they are clean and tight. If the problem persists, it may be in the amplifier or wiring.

What to do if there is no sound produced with a microphone connected to INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 on my Electro-Voice speaker?
- M
  michael96Aug 29, 2025
  If no sound is produced when a microphone is connected to INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 on your Electro-Voice speaker, it might be because the microphone requires phantom power. Use a dynamic microphone that does not require phantom power, or use an external phantom power source if using a microphone that requires it. Also, make sure the input gain knob is in the MIC position and slowly increase the input gain knob level to engage the microphone pre-amp.

Why is the low-frequency response poor on my Electro-Voice EVL-ZLX-12P-BT Speakers?
- C
  Caleb BaxterAug 31, 2025
  If you notice poor low-frequency response from your Electro-Voice speakers, check if the 'WITH SUB' menu cross-over frequency is activated. If no subwoofers are used with this system, select the OFF position.

How to troubleshoot no sound from Electro-Voice EVL-ZLX-12P-BT Speakers?
- J
  Joanna PeckSep 2, 2025
  If your Electro-Voice speakers aren't producing sound, there could be a problem with the amplifier or the wiring. * **Amplifier:** Ensure all electronic devices are powered on, the signal routing is correct, the source is active, and the volume is turned up. Repair or replace any faulty components as needed. * **Wiring:** Verify that you've connected the correct cables to the amplifier. Play audio at a low level and connect a test loudspeaker in parallel with the malfunctioning line. If the sound disappears or weakens, there's likely a short in the line. Use the test loudspeaker to check each connection until you find and fix the issue. Ensure proper polarity is observed.

Why is there acoustic feedback from my Electro-Voice EVL-ZLX-12P-BT microphone?
- R
  Ronald WilsonSep 3, 2025
  Acoustic feedback with Electro-Voice speakers when the microphone input level is amplified can be due to several reasons: * **Incorrect gain structure:** Reduce 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 increases gain-before-feedback. * **MODE set to MUSIC:** Change the MODE to LIVE or SPEECH. * **Microphone position:** 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.

How to stop buzzing, hissing, or humming noise from Electro-Voice EVL-ZLX-12P-BT?
- R
  Raymond DunlapSep 5, 2025
  Constant noise like buzzing, hissing, or humming from Electro-Voice speakers can stem from a few sources: * **Defective source:** If noise is present without program material playing, evaluate each component to isolate the problem. A break in the signal path is likely. * **Grounding issues:** Check and correct the system grounding, as required. * **Input gain knob:** Slowly increase the input gain knob level to engage the microphone pre-amp.

What to do if Electro-Voice EVL-ZLX-12P-BT Speakers sound distorted and the LIMIT light is on?
- A
  amandagraySep 7, 2025
  If the sound from your Electro-Voice speakers is distorted, the front LED is off, and the LCD screen shows 'LIMIT' is on, it indicates an excessive input level. Reduce the input level or loudspeaker level knobs to prevent limiting.
