Electro-Voice Live X ELX112 2-way Floor Standing, Pole Mount Speaker - 250 W RMS - Black

The Electro-Voice Live X ELX112 is a compact, high-performance 2-way floor-standing loudspeaker designed to deliver professional-grade sound reinforcement and precise stage monitoring in a wide range of venues. Engineered with EV’s renowned voicing and build quality, the ELX112 combines portability, reliability, and rich, detailed sound that can fill small clubs, rehearsal spaces, churches, corporate events, and mobile setups with clarity and confidence. This speaker is purpose-built for performers, sound engineers, and event technicians who demand punchy bass, articulate mids, and sparkling highs without sacrificing coverage or ease of use. Whether you’re pairing it with a powered mixer, a dedicated amplifier, or a full PA system, the ELX112 is ready to perform and to be shaped to your room and audience. Its balanced dispersion characteristics help ensure even sound distribution from front to back, so every seat in the house gets a consistent, enjoyable listening experience.

• Compact, floor-standing design with real stage presence — engineered for portable rigs and tight stages, the ELX112 projects clear, musical sound while remaining easy to transport, set up, and tear down. Its sleek black enclosure blends with virtually any stage aesthetic and venues’ interior finishes, delivering professional looks as well as performance. The cabinet construction emphasizes rigidity and resonance control, so your sound stays clean and faithful to your mix, even under demanding live conditions.
• 2-way loudspeaker architecture for balanced vocal clarity and musical articulation — a dedicated high-frequency driver handles the airiness and shimmer of cymbals and strings, while the woofer provides solid bass and controlled low-end extension. The result is a coherent, natural sound across a broad spectrum, ideal for speech intelligibility and music playback alike. This design helps you achieve even coverage across the listening area, reducing the need for excessive EQ adjustments and enabling faster, more reliable setups.
• Designed for versatile deployment — whether used as a main PA speaker for small to mid-size venues or as a stage monitor for performers, the ELX112 adapts to your workflow. It supports pole-mounting and can be angled on the floor for wedge-style monitoring, making it a flexible choice for singers, DJs, bands, and corporate events. Its rugged build stands up to frequent transport, rack mounts, and stage use, helping you deliver consistent sound night after night.
• RMS power handling of 250 W delivers ample headroom for most live sound applications — the ELX112 is tuned to respond aggressively to transients while preserving warmth and musicality during sustained performances. This balance helps you achieve a loud, clear mix without audible strain, even when working with dynamic material or larger ensembles. The combination of power handling and efficient driver design makes it suitable for venues where you need dependable output without bulky, heavy hardware.
• Balanced input options and real-world performance that scale with your system — compatible with standard PA setups, the ELX112 can be paired with a variety of amplification choices, mixers, and processors to achieve your preferred voicing and coverage. The loudspeaker’s design emphasizes ease of integration, consistent performance across different rooms, and minimal setup complexity, so you can focus on delivering a great live experience rather than wrestling with calibration.

How to install Electro-Voice Live X ELX112

• Plan your seating and coverage — identify the main listening area and stage-facing zones to optimize speaker placement and avoid dead spots. Use this to decide whether each ELX112 will be positioned as a main front-of-house speaker, a side-fill, or a stage monitor.
• Place on a stable surface or use a compatible stand — for floor-standing use, position the cabinet so its front baffle faces the audience and the cabinet’s weight is centered for balance. If using pole-mounts, attach securely to a dedicated stand with appropriate clamps and tighten all fasteners before playback.
• Connect to your amplifier — use a suitable professional speaker cable (or a Speakon-compatible connection) to connect the ELX112 to your power amplifier or powered mixer. Ensure the amplifier channel is configured for the speaker’s impedance and that gain staging preserves headroom without clipping.
• Angle and align for even coverage — if you’re using multiple speakers, aim to create a consistent vertical and horizontal dispersion pattern to minimize overlaps and reduce feedback risk. A slight toe-in can help direct high-frequency energy toward the audience while preserving intelligibility for live vocals.
• Secure cables and manage on-stage hazards — route cables away from walkways, use cable ties or velcro straps, and protect connectors from accidental disconnection. Regularly inspect connectors, enclosure corners, and grille for wear or damage after transport and setup.
• Test and tune your system — perform a quick test with a familiar track or a microphone feed, check the balance between the ELX112 units if you’re using more than one, and adjust equalization or limiter settings on your mixer or processor as needed to achieve clean, distortion-free output.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: Is the ELX112 a powered speaker?
  A: No. The ELX112 is a passive, two-way loudspeaker that requires a suitable external amplifier or powered mixer to drive it. This makes it a flexible choice for users who want to scale their system as they grow, or who want to pair the speaker with existing amplification gear.
• Q: What applications is the ELX112 best suited for?
  A: It’s well suited for live sound reinforcement in small to mid-sized venues, stage monitoring, rehearsal spaces, clubs, houses of worship, corporate events, and portable PA setups. Its compact footprint and clear voicing help it perform effectively in a wide range of environments.
• Q: Can I pole-mount the ELX112?
  A: Yes. The ELX112 is designed to be pole-mount compatible, allowing for flexible deployment in front-of-house configurations or elevated stage monitoring setups. Ensure you use proper clamps and stands rated for the load.
• Q: How does the 2-way design benefit my sound?
  A: The 2-way configuration separates high-frequency content from low-frequency content, resulting in clearer vocals, crisper cymbals, and a more natural overall balance. This reduces consonant blur and improves intelligibility, which is especially important for live speech and performances.
• Q: What should I consider when wiring multiple ELX112 speakers?
  A: When combining multiple ELX112 units, plan your power distribution and signal routing to maintain consistent VOICING and coverage. If possible, use identical amplifier channels and monitor for phase and alignment to avoid comb filtering or uneven sound distribution across seating areas.
