Electro-Voice EKX-12P: Professional Power in a 12-Inch Speaker

The EKX-12P is built for working musicians and DJs who need a speaker that sounds great at any volume and survives regular use. The 12-inch woofer delivers tight, punchy low end, while the titanium compression driver produces clear, detailed highs that keep vocals intelligible across the room. EV’s patented SST waveguide shapes the 90 by 60 degree coverage for consistent sound throughout the audience.

The rugged wood enclosure is built for the road, and the speaker can be pole-mounted, placed on a stand, or used on its side as a stage monitor.

EKX-12P DSP and Presets

The onboard DSP makes it easy to get the right sound for each application. Choose Music for full-range playback, Live for bands and performers, Speech for presentations, or Club for DJ sets with extra punch. Save your own settings to five user presets, all controlled from a simple LCD and single-knob interface on the rear panel.

Setting Up the EKX-12P

For main PA use, mount the speakers on stands so the high-frequency driver sits above the audience’s heads, angled slightly toward the center of the room. Choose the preset that matches your application, set the input level, and link a second speaker through the XLR output. When pairing with a subwoofer, use the subwoofer’s high-pass output to feed the EKX-12P for a louder, cleaner system.

What to Pair With the EKX-12P

For dance music and larger rooms, add an EKX powered subwoofer for deep low end. A compact mixer gives you control over multiple microphones and instruments, and sturdy speaker stands and padded covers protect your investment. Wireless microphones round out a complete system for presenters and singers.
