Why is my Electro-Voice Speakers sound distorted and the LIMIT LED is constantly on?
- R
  Robert PerezAug 15, 2025
  If the sound from your Electro-Voice Speakers is distorted and the LIMIT LED is constantly on or flashing regularly, it could be due to an excessive input level. To resolve this, reduce the MASTER level or loudspeaker level knobs to prevent limiting. Alternatively, a line-level source might be incorrectly plugged into the MIC IN. Ensure that you plug the line-level source into the LINE IN.

What to do if my Electro-Voice ZXA1 produce constant noise?
- L
  Lonnie BrownAug 18, 2025
  If your Electro-Voice Speakers are producing constant noise such as buzzing, hissing, or humming, the issue could stem from several causes. It might be a defective source or another electronic device. If noise is present even without program material playing, evaluate each component to isolate the problem. Poor system grounding or a ground loop could also be the cause; check and correct the system grounding as needed. Finally, verify that the level controls of the source are properly structured, as an incorrect gain structure can also lead to constant noise.

  Anita JohnsonAug 25, 2025
  If your Electro-Voice Speakers' sound is distorted but the LIMIT LED is not blinking, the source input (mixing console/preamp) might be overdriven. Verify the level controls of the source are properly structured to resolve this issue.

Why do Electro-Voice ZXA1 have acoustic feedback when the microphone input level is amplified?
- F
  Frank MiddletonAug 28, 2025
  Acoustic feedback from your Electro-Voice Speakers when the microphone input level is amplified can occur due to a few reasons. First, there might be an incorrect gain structure; reduce the microphone levels at the mixing console or input source. Second, the microphone position may be too close to the front of the speaker. Set up the speakers so the microphone is behind them to mitigate feedback.

Why is there no sound produced with a microphone connected to MIC IN on Electro-Voice ZXA1 Speakers?
- J
  Joseph VasquezSep 3, 2025
  If no sound is produced when a microphone is connected to the MIC IN on your Electro-Voice Speakers, the microphone may require phantom power. Use a dynamic microphone that does not require phantom power.

What causes poor low-frequency response with Electro-Voice ZXA1-SUB Speakers?
- G
  George PatrickSep 10, 2025
  If you are experiencing poor low-frequency response with your Electro-Voice ZXA1-SUB speakers, the issue might be due to incorrect polarity. Set the NORMAL/REVERSE POLARITY switch to the opposite position.
