Electro-Voice kicked off 2024 with a major milestone – the one-millionth ZLX portable loudspeaker recently rolled off the production line, solidifying the series’ status as the most successful in Electro-Voice’s almost 100-year history.

Designed to deliver professional audio performance at an accessible price point, ZLX launched at the NAMM Show 2013 and made a triumphant return to NAMM 2024 to mark the momentous occasion. Electro-Voice dealers and enthusiasts visited the EV demo room to meet the one-millionth ZLX in person – the box is now covered in signatures from EV team members from around the world – and to sign a special Platinum display in recognition of their key role in the ZLX’s iconic success. Representatives from the Electro-Voice engineering and product development teams behind ZLX were also present to celebrate.

Guests in the Electro-Voice demo room also experienced EV’s latest offering, the EVERSE 12 battery-powered loudspeaker. Models from the broader Electro-Voice portable sound portfolio – including ZLX – were also showcased in what was easily one of the most impressive pro-audio demonstrations at the show. The EV team hinted at more major product introductions coming soon, further building on the extraordinary momentum generated by market-leaders like ZLX, EVOLVE and EVERSE.

Given ZLX’s global appeal, the celebrations extend far beyond the NAMM Show. Members of Bosch’s executive board of management traveled to Electro-Voice’s ZLX production facility to witness the historic one-millionth speaker being made, adding their signatures to 5 x ZLX boxes, along with members of the production team. These 5 x ZLXs are now traveling to Electro-Voice sites around the world, gathering additional signatures from the various teams behind the product’s remarkable journey, to signify what is a truly international success story – one that has been created by passionate ZLX users around the world, and one that is set to go from strength to strength in 2024.
