Why is there no streaming audio from my Electro-Voice Speakers?

  If you're experiencing no streaming audio with your Electro-Voice speakers, consider the following: * **STREAMING is OFF:** Set STREAMING to PAIRING and initiate the Bluetooth pairing process on your mobile device. * **Mobile device paired incorrectly:** If previously paired to a different Bluetooth enabled ZLX loudspeaker, you may be pairing with the wrong device. Try deleting all saved connections labeled EV ZLX BT and try the pairing process again. * **Input level too low:** While music is playing, turn up the volume on the paired mobile device. You will see the BT VU Meter receiving signal. Reduce if you see a CLIP notification. * **Output Gain is too low:** Increase output gain by setting your LEVEL with the MASTER VOL knob, paying attention to CLIP and LIMIT notifications.

  If no sound is produced when a microphone is connected to INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 on your Electro-Voice speakers, there are a couple of possibilities: * **Phantom power:** Use a dynamic microphone that does not require phantom power. If using a microphone requiring phantom power, an external phantom power source is needed. * **Input gain knob:** Slowly increase the input gain knob level to engage the microphone pre-amp.

  Intermittent output, like cracking or distortion, from Electro-Voice speakers often points to a faulty connection. Check all connections at the amplifier and loudspeakers to ensure they are clean and tight. If the problem continues, inspect the wiring as described in the troubleshooting for 'no sound'.

Why does streaming audio skip or stutter on my Electro-Voice EVL-ZLX-12P-BT?
- M
  Matthew AlexanderSep 14, 2025
  Skipping or stuttering playback during streaming audio on your Electro-Voice speakers can be due to: * **Distance:** Move the paired mobile device closer to the loudspeaker. * **Interference:** This Bluetooth enabled loudspeaker occupies the same operating frequencies as other Bluetooth devices, as well as Wi-Fi and other wireless transmissions (like wireless home phones). If you are experiencing drop- outs, your speaker may be in an environment that makes reliable wireless audio difficult. Try to move the loudspeaker to different locations in the room, and especially away from 2.4gHz routers and microphone receivers. If the problem persists, revert back to a wired connection while at that particular venue.
