#ElectroVoice 

I appreciate you! Just do my best to give the facts and demos as best as I can so it can help you make the great decision on buying good products!

Thanks alot, you should upload more videos man

If i connect everything like you did. My passive top speakers don’t get power. So could you please tell me the connection steps starting from the Mixer then to the Amp then to where ??

@@MrSollex1 Absolutely! I do plan on coming back around and reviewing more speakers!

@@MrSollex1 Now, by mixer are we talking DJ controller or a stand alone mixer with nothing but faders and knobs?

What would you recommend as a pro level sub?

All of the models are pro subs. I would use the ELX for beginners, weddings or parties of 100 people or less. The EKX is a step up. I can see a pro wedding DJ who does midsized rooms and events going for this model. If your normal events are up to 250 then one or two of these subs will be well worth it. This is for the DJ who makes a living doing events. The ETX would be great for a DJ or band who plays larger events on a regular basis. We are talking school dances, outdoor events and so on. Get these if you can see yourself doing shows of 400 to 500 people.

@@13bcoffeeBut they don’t have a great difference in SPL. The ELX have 132db and the ETX are only 2db more. (134db spl) I have a pair of Peavey’s PV118D, and they are 119db spl only. I’m thinking to buy one Elx200 18sp and sell the Peaveys

There is more to selecting a speaker than SPL. Also that 2db could be the difference in whether the speaker clips and distorts or not. When selecting pro speakers I consider things like whether or not I am taking them on the road in a truck or trailer. Build quality becomes really important then. We are talking tougher cabinets and better drivers and amps. So ETX line is it. For most DJs the lighter EKX line is good enough for school dances and weddings. The ELX line is the entry level. It's more affordable and certainly is up to doing weddings and parties.

That's what's up!! Both Speakers and Subwoofer make a good combo!👌

This video is really helpful man. I've been having those harbinger 15-in speakers for about a year and I just bought that same sub today.

@@estupedude21 Thank you very much for your feedback! I'm hoping to use these very soon for a social distancing gig I have coming up in a few weeks, so I can finally let them sound off! 💯

@@jcomusicproductions Haha! Social distancing gig huh! I can picture folks sipping from a distance enjoying good music vibes 👌🏽

@@estupedude21 Absolutely! && I do not have to deal with folks trying to get on stage interuppting my 'personal space' cause they can't vibe with funky fresh beats 💯😂👏

Realistically, this sub in particular isn't a subwoofer you would use for a home theater sound system. These are more catered to live sound; performance on stage etc. Check out your local Best Buy or electronic retail stores that may have an affordable and good quality sound system with woofer that will meet your needs for you home!

Yes, when the Subwoofer is the main source of sound & you connect the speakers to follow, the speakers become stereo. Plus, it is best to adjust the volumes to your liking to get that good balance of equal sound.

@@jcomusicproductions Thanks!

Hello! So far since the whole COVID-19 pandemic had begun, I have not really had the opportunity to use it for shows or anything really. Occasionally I'd play with it at home, but in regards of comparison to the ones you've mentioned, I haven't heard those yet!! What I like to tell people is that 1) any speaker you buy has to match the needs you want them for; live instruments/band or DJ related use. 2) I believe each speaker has it's own unique sound that (refer to #1) depends how you use them. If there is not a video out there, I would definitely check them out in person at your local Guitar Center or music store to see which one would work for you! Overall, EV's are a great brand and will definitely serve you well!

@@jcomusicproductions how hard did you manage to play it at home? Was it any good?

Out of the times I've used it outdoors, I usually have my set up under a cover so no direct sunlight hits my equipment. So far, I've had no problem with overheating. I think it all comes down to how hard you crank it for periods of time that will overheat. I recommend always having a fan plugged in to keep some form of circulation going 👍 again, it really all comes down to how 'hard' you use it.

If the system was was well thought and designed there would usually be a fan built in, just like my db opera the fan inside of it comes on when needed so there's less chance of the fan failing.

I'm not 100% sure but I think with the tops that have access to link with other same brand speakers, it can help cut treble.

@@jcomusicproductions understood, but I got yamaha msr400...it would mean a lot to me if elx200 had high pass...yamaha would be relieved... could you check high pass option on elx200 sub?

@jcomusicproductions I'm 100% sure that link from output to input is "hard-wired", so unprocessed signal goes through.

I believe, if I'm not mistaken, you'd have to plug cables from tops, to subwoofer, then right into a mixer of your choice to balance out the bass

So i go from Mixer to Amp to Tops to Subs ??

I have the same question

Yes. I did a sweet 16 with one sub elv 200 18 " and 2 mackie thumps 15 " for 200 people, and all was good .

@@edwinhernandez6627 nice.. ended up getting two evolve 50s and they have been great. Also i paired up my 2 zlx12s with 2 Ekx15 subs for larger events

@DJ Fronkie Jay Awesome! " Glad it all worked out for you. You got a good setup for years, too come!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Got any recommendations for similarly-priced subs?

@@thetree9399 JBL makes good stuff around the same price, the cabinets are a lot bigger but have more below 40hz. QSC makes good stuff but the prices are higher… I don’t think there’s anything better than the EV 200s in the 1k price range…

In which mode do you use them? Club, music, live?

I keep it between 100 to 120! So you don't "blow up" the sound too loud

I have owned these for 2 years. They are pretty good for the price. Especially if a dj has a smaller budget but needs some good low end at their events. More especially if a dj is single op, or doesn’t have the space to transport bigger subs. And the QuickSmart app is great to have, which is unique only to the ELX 200 line (at this time).

Burning smell from the Subwoofer? Well, if you had them out in the sunlight and it was hot, it probably was slowly starting to overheat. However, it could also be that the cables you were using could be the problem? Sometimes it could be the cables, but also remember to make sure that you're not in direct sunlight unless all cables and back sides are covered up.

You can connect the set up first with the cables and play Bluetooth off the speakers but if you are going to use a mixer to play music or have it for live band etc, then the cables must connect to mixer

Upgrade the driver to b&c 4” vc you love that sub even more

No, there is not. Bluetooth would only work with the top speakers if it had that option.

Unless you have a speaker that can play Bluetooth or has an aux cable, you can just plug the cables from Speaker to Woofer, then it'll be okay 👌

@@jcomusicproductions oh ok thanx brother yea i got the 15 ev and subwoofer ...so i just need to plug the 15 to sub..thanx bro

@@nerihugo5 Absolutely 💯 and since you have EV, depending which tops you have, you can play with the settings to match the sound frequency for a better quality sound

@@jcomusicproductions ok got you bro..thanx i appreciated👍

When I got it, it was for around $800. Now it's probably, most likely, in the $1200 range

Harbinger Vari Series V2315's

@@jcomusicproductions ok are they American Speakers?

@@hungchung2726 Yep! Made in the U.S.A

@@jcomusicproductions ok thanks fir the info

When it comes to subwoofers, you want a good balance of power witj its watts with the main speakers you use. Remember, it all comes down to what you intend to use the woofer & speakers for.

@@jcomusicproductions Hey! Best Pro/touring grade subwoofers? Bose rms218? Danley?

Oh? Ok? 2 different brands of speakers shown, but it's a paid advertisement? Lol okay.
