Product-related questions and answers:
Q: Does this subwoofer need an external amplifier?
A: The ELX200-18SP is an active subwoofer that comes equipped with a built-in 1200W Class-D amplifier, making it ready for immediate use without the need for an additional amplifier.
Q: Can I connect this subwoofer to non-Electro-Voice speakers?
A: Yes, it can work with other brands as long as your system supports the sub/top crossover settings via the DSP, and you use compatible cables (e.g., XLR).
Q: How heavy is the subwoofer, and is it easy to move?
A: While the exact weight isn’t specified on the page, it’s described as lightweight for an 18" subwoofer, with a two-handle design for easy lifting. It’s manageable for one person, though a cart might help for longer distances.
Q: Is it suitable for outdoor events?
A: Yes, it’s portable and durable, but it’s not weatherproof. Protect it from rain or extreme conditions (e.g., with a cover) for outdoor use.
Q: What’s the difference between the Music, Live, and Club presets?
A: Live enhances clarity for performances, while Club boosts the low end for dance settings. You can fine-tune them with the three-band EQ.
Q: Can I control it without the Bluetooth app?
A: Yes, the onboard QuickSmartDSP with its single-knob interface and LCD allows full control without the app. Bluetooth is an optional convenience.
Q: Does it come with a protective cover?
A: No, a cover isn’t included, but Electro-Voice offers a separate ELX200-18SP-CVR padded cover for protection during transport or storage.
Q: How loud is 132 dB SPL in real-world terms?
A: It is exceedingly loud, resembling a jet engine at a distance or a large concert. It is suitable for outdoor events with a capacity of 200 or more, as well as medium to large venues, contingent upon the available space.
Q: Can I use this in a small room without overpowering it?
A: Yes, it is possible to modify the volume and DSP settings to reduce the size of the application for smaller spaces, despite the fact that it is intended for larger applications.
