The black Electro-Voice ZX1i-100T is an 8" 2-way weather-resistant passive loudspeaker offering high-performance, full-range sound reinforcement for indoor and outdoor installed applications in arenas, stages, and patios. The ZX1i-100T's 8" woofer and titanium high-frequency compression driver yield a 60 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, and may be driven by a constant-voltage amplifier without low-frequency saturation thanks to the built-in 100W transformer with ASC (Automatic Saturation Compensation) technology. The high-frequency driver is mounted in a 100 x 100° horn for broad, even dispersion.

The input to the loudspeaker—provided by a removable 4-pin Euroblock connector—is fed to an internal crossover that properly distributes frequencies to the drivers. The lightweight ABS resin cabinet is outfitted with a heavy-duty QuickSAM mounting system, which enables fast and secure installation. With its molded enclosure design, two-layer grille, and IEC 529 and MIL-SPEC-810 ratings, the ZX1i-100T loudspeaker is built to withstand the stress of outdoor use.

Two-way, full-range passive loudspeaker for installed indoor/outdoor applications in event stages, restaurant patios, retail environments, and arenas

Weather-resistant to IEC 529 and MIL-STD-810 environmental specs

Ideal for 70V or 100V constant-voltage systems

Integrated 100W transformer with transformer bypass for use in 8-Ohm setups

Patented ASC (Automatic Saturation Compensation) technology prevents transformer saturation at low frequencies without requiring adjustment to the high-pass filter frequency as more speakers are added to the line, yielding consistent sound quality between the transformer-equipped and non-transformer ZX1i models

Transformer taps from 6.5 to 100 watts; rated power handling of 200 watts continuous (800 watts peak) in transformer-bypass mode

8" EV8L long-excursion, high-output woofer with a weatherized, treated cone delivers smooth low-frequency performance and reliability

Velocity-compensated port design overcomes the limitation of many small cabinet loudspeakers and enables enhanced low-frequency response

DH2005 compression driver with 1.25" voice coil, titanium diaphragm, and 1" exit

100 x 100° horn coverage for broad, even dispersion

Internal crossover network preceded by a passive limiter for full-bandwidth overload protection

Removable 4-pin Euroblock connector

Injection-molded, high-impact ABS resin enclosure and powder-coated steel grille with hydrophobic cloth and acoustic foam protect the drivers from the elements

QuickSAM mounting system allows the installer to simply snap the speaker onto the bracket, then tighten it to the desired position

AB-ZE bracket kit (available separately) allows multiple units to be mounted together
