Why is there no sound coming from my Electro-Voice Speakers?

  Maria KelleyAug 7, 2025
  The absence of sound from your Electro-Voice Speakers may stem from several factors. First, ensure all electronic components are powered on, the signal routing is correctly configured, and the audio source is active with the volume appropriately adjusted. If issues persist, examine the wiring for potential faults. Verify the correct cables are connected to the amplifier. To check for wiring shorts, play audio at a low level and connect a test loudspeaker in parallel. A significant drop in sound level indicates a short in the line. Use the test loudspeaker to trace and rectify each connection, while observing proper polarity. Also, check all cables between the source and the loudspeaker with a multimeter or cable tester. Replace any suspect cables with a known good cable.

  If your Electro-Voice Speakers exhibit intermittent output, such as cracking or distortion, begin by inspecting all connections at both the amplifier and the loudspeaker. Ensure that these connections are clean and securely tightened. If the problem continues, examine the wiring for potential issues.

Why do my Electro-Voice ZLX-G2 produce constant noise like buzzing, hissing, or humming?

  Constant noise from your Electro-Voice Speakers, such as buzzing, hissing, or humming, can arise from a defective source or another electronic device. If noise persists when no program material is playing, assess each component to isolate the problem, as there's likely a break in the signal path. Also, check and correct the system grounding, as required.

How to improve poor low-frequency response in Electro-Voice ZLX-G2 Speakers?
- R
  Ronald ReedAug 26, 2025
  If you're experiencing poor low-frequency response with your Electro-Voice Speakers, the issue might be due to loudspeakers wired out-of-polarity. This causes low frequencies to cancel each other acoustically. Carefully check the wire markings or tracers on your loudspeaker wires. Ensure that the amplifier's (+) terminal connects to pin 1+ of the NL4 connector and the amplifier's (-) terminal connects to pin 1- of the NL4 connector.

What to do if my Electro-Voice ZLX-G2 produce acoustic feedback with a microphone?
- R
  roserickySep 1, 2025
  Acoustic feedback from your Electro-Voice Speakers when using a microphone often occurs because the microphone is too close to the front of the loudspeaker. 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.
