Electro-voice zx1-90 – professionele passieve speaker te koop: 1 stuk electro-voice zx1-90 in nette staat en perfect werkend. Compacte maar krachtige professionele luidspreker met uitstekende geluidsk
This €100 asking price is a genuine bargain, landing well below the typical used market where single Electro-Voice ZX1-90 units usually range from €180 to €250 based on recent US and European listings converting to EUR. Even accounting for age, as these are pre-2016 models now replaced by the ZX3/ZX5 series, the price sits near the 10th percentile of used values, making it an exceptional deal for a single speaker or a potential pair if you find another at this level.
The ZX1-90 remains a respected compact 2-way PA speaker thanks to its durable polymer enclosure, 8-inch woofer with weatherized cone, and 123 dB max SPL, delivering smooth low-end and reliable output for small venues or acoustic duos. Its 90° x 50° coverage and 8.4 kg weight make it easy to transport and mount, while the 200W continuous rating ensures headroom for live use without distortion. At this price, the only caveat is verifying the compression driver and woofer integrity, but given the rock-bottom cost, even minor wear won’t erase the value of this buying opportunity.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# Electro-Voice
Electro-Voice was founded in 1927 by Al Kahn and Lou Burroughs in South Bend, Indiana, initially as Radio Engineers before incorporating under its now-iconic name in 1930. The company's name originated from Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne, who dubbed an early public address system his "electric voice"—a system designed to help him communicate across multiple practice fields. This humble basement startup evolved into a cornerstone of American audio engineering, relocating to Buchanan, Michigan in 1946 to expand its manufacturing and research capabilities.
The brand built its reputation primarily on professional audio equipment, particularly microphones, loudspeakers, and horn drivers. Electro-Voice pioneered numerous innovations including the hum-bucking coil for microphones, the Compound Diffraction Horn, stereo magnetic phono cartridges, and constant-directivity horn technology. From the 1940s through the 1970s, EV stood alongside industry titans like Altec Lansing, JBL, and Klipsch, with systems widely deployed in cinemas, concert halls, and broadcast facilities.
Today, Electro-Voice occupies a unique position straddling professional audio and high-end consumer markets. The brand is respected among both vintage audio collectors and contemporary sound engineers for its engineering rigor, high-efficiency designs, and naturally dynamic sound character. While primarily known for pro audio applications, EV's historical consumer loudspeaker lines and continued innovation maintain its relevance among discerning audiophiles seeking honest, efficient reproduction over marketing-driven aesthetics.
