Members SOUND PROOF Posted April 30, 2016 Members Share Posted April 30, 2016 I was wondering if it is possible to use a regular EV ZX5 90 (regulary used as a main / 15inch woofer in speaker as well as a tweeter)? I currently seemed to have adopted a drummer (In past always have used percussionist), me on guitar and vocals upright bass and sax/flute. In the past I have been using the zx5 90's as mains and zx1as as monitors for smaller set ups, and then throughing two subs and a crossover for bigger shows. I want a nice clear instrumental seperation for small venues as well as not so much gear. So I am wondering if using one of my ZX5 90'S as a sub would be alright for the speaker while using the other ZX5 90 as a monitor and using the 2 zx1a's as mains of course i would use a crossover to achieve frequency seperation. Please let me know what u think about this configuration, its basically a street gig so if it isn't really doable I will just stick with the zx5 90's as mains just seems kind of squished to have all frequency going through those speakers, wasn't an issue til I started using drummer...

Members WynnD Posted May 2, 2016 Members Share Posted May 2, 2016 I would expect the ZX5s to not make very good subs. The ZXA1 subs are 12" speakers but they are designed for below 100 Htz. I'm using a pair of the ZXA1 subs and ZXA1s for my PA mains and they sound very sweet and fit into most trunks, but they are about $2500 worth of powered speakers. And while you probably see some groups using the Bose towers, the EVs are about 10 db louder. (Measured maximum spl.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
