General
The EKX-15P active two-way speaker combines EV's renowned sound quality and reliability with the latest audio technology in a compact, portable speaker suited for a wide variety of applications. You won't need to spend much time with this speaker to realise just how versatile it is. Equipped with EV's own speaker and amplifier components for superior sound quality, this speaker features EV's famous single-knob control, as well as their QuickSmartDSP. You'll find a convenient LCD screen on the rear panel for intuitive menu navigation along with a choice of four helpful presets for live setups (music, live, speech, and club).
Design
The EV EKX-15P is equipped with Electro Voice's patented SSTs (Signal Synchronized Transducers) for precise, consistent coverage. Thanks to the relatively lightweight, compact design, this speaker is great for both mobile use and fixed installations. The 15mm plywood housing has an EVCoat, eight M10 mounting points, a stand flange and metal handles on both sides.
Positioning
The EKX series is the latest addition to Electro Voice's portable speaker range and as such, features speakers that combine the legendary accuracy of EV audio quality with the reliability of the latest technology. All of this is combined in compact housing to make a versatile speaker that can be applied to most, if not all situations. From DJing, amplifying live bands or as part of fixed installations, this speaker is ready for anything. A little older than the ZLX and ELX series and younger than the ETX series, the EKX series is a reliable if not remarkable middle child.

Its hard when it comes to buying disco speakers as most things below £600/speaker loose quality at peak-party, or not loud enough? Line array you need to spend over £1500/speaker as almost all are allot quieter than traditional design speakers, or can't push all the sound back very far (sounds bad past the dance floor were people socialise).
These speakers have a "clubby" sound the way they process sound (that i personally don't like), but clients who book small rooms do like the sound very much as they sound similar to my old RCF 715's, but can go louder keeping all the quality as the 715's just couldn't quite get there for some clients "peak-party" vibe, but the EKX do very well.
Summery: They do small-medium sized rooms combined with subs well, they are priced "midrange" so better quality & a bit louder than the budget models or Alto etc. but would not do bigger rooms as can't push the quality to the back of a ballroom like SRX can. These speakers are "bang on the money" as actually do what they say (don't use misleading spl/dB numbers), so perfect for small-medium sized rooms. Only 2 things I can have a grumble about is they are a bit heavy for the output but the build quality is excellent!!! as made to last, & the side handles are a bit low.

Ik heb lang getwijfeld, ik wilde nieuwe, nee ik moest nieuwe speakers. Als mobiele dj zocht ik een tijdje al naar nieuwe speakers, de vorige waren echt op na 10 jaar. Dus werd het tijd voor een nieuwe set. Voor mij zijn gewicht, volume, geluid en prijs de bepalende factoren geweest. Ik heb oa stil gestaan bij JBL, QSC,presonus en Mackie. Uiteindelijk voor EV's gekozen omdat ze qua geluid, prijs, bouwkwaliteit, materiaal en gewicht de beste match waren voor mij. Ik ben er erg tevreden over tot nu toe. Je kunt tot 150 man hiermee prima je gigs doen. Ga je groter of hecht je veel waarde aan bass dan is een sub of 2 erbij een optie. Voor de gigs die ik doe is dat een nice to have, geen need to have. Maar dat is enorm persoonlijk. Je merkt met deze al dat je heel erg over hebt en vanwege de houten kast, met name in het laag merk je dat. Maar hey, niks zo subjectief als je eigen paar oren en het geluid, dus mijn tip: Bepaal je budget, wat past binnen je businessmodel, welke doeleinden heb je ze nodig (doe je elk weekend gigs van 250+ man? of moet je als band goed klinken?) hoe groot/hoe zwaar/ met over zonder subs. Op basis van dit soort indicatoren zou ik een shortlist maken van wat past in jouw situatie en die 3 tot 5 speakers online goed nazoeken/over inlezen en dan 2/3 echt gaan beluisteren voordat je zo'n smak geld gaat investeren. Kom je net als mij,
