Portable Speaker Families The most powerful family in portable sound.
Each member of the award-winning Electro-Voice portable loudspeaker family is designed and engineered in the USA to deliver best-in-class performance across every detail. The components inside EV loudspeakers are manufactured and tested to the industry’s highest standards, to ensure years of superior sound quality and reliability. EV stands apart from other portable speaker manufacturers because we also build bigger systems for concert sound – a pro audio heavyweight with a proven track record on the world stage. Everything we’ve learned at this most competitive and critical level of the industry is condensed into our compact systems to bring you equally uncompromising performance at a smaller scale. No other equivalently priced speaker will sound as good, work as hard, or last as long.
Whatever the application, there’s an EV speaker with a set of features to precisely fit your needs and your budget: from the unbeatable value and power-to-weight ratio offered by ZLX up to the benchmark performance and advanced technology of our top-of-the-line ETX and EVOLVE column loudspeakers.
