Thanks so much for providing a review of this speaker from a performer POV instead of a DJ. You answered a lot of questions that were floating around my head as to how this will work in a band environment!

Hey, thanks for reviewing these. I had the original ZLX as well. I like the idea of running these for guitar and vocals but I had a few questions on that. 1) Can you set is as FRFR for the guitar channel and Live for the vocal channel or is the FRFR setting global for all channels, 2) I'd like to send the Left side of my stereo guitar rig to the Left ZLX and the right side to another ZLX on the right and somehow have my vocals be mono through both of the ZLX (without using an outboard mixer). I noticed in another video there is a control for the Aux out that is default to "L & R" - I was wondering if there was a way to only send a single channel out of the AUX out? So I would plug vocal mic into Channel 1 of the Left ZLX and then only the Channel one signal through the Aux out into Channel 1 of the Right ZLX, and my guitar pedal out left would go direct to Left ZLX channel 2, and the right out direct to ZLX channel 2. Just curios if that's possible. Thanks for the video, these things look awesome for live sound and the FRFR is bonus.

I think either the Switchcraft RMAS1 or Radial JS3 would work for the vocals. You would I think need one of those nice buffered mic splitters to send the mic signals. I use the RMAS1 all the time at acoustic gigs and it's outstanding (quiet and built like a tank). For the ZLX's you set the FRFR mode as a global EQ voicing but you can still EQ the channels individually.

Try out the Fender ones. They are supposed to be the best available.

Yep. It's on my list. I'm curious how an FRFR specifically designed to be a guitar FRFR goes the other direction and handles stuff more typically associated with a speaker needing full range capabilities. I feel like it can only lean one way or the other. What I'd like to do is have something like the little QSC K8.2 for acoustic shows and something more guitar-oriented for the full band performances but I just got a Fishman Loudbox for a couple weeks to try out at acoustic shows I'm eager to take on stage this Saturday. We have a QSC K10.2 that our drummer sometimes uses back behind his kit and it will be going up against the Loudbox. QSC has the size advantage, is cheaper and has a ridiculous amount more power but no built in effects or EQ'ing capabilities like the Loudbox and also not really voiced specific to acoustics.

Can you compare them to the QSC k10.2

being a 12" driver, the ZLX will have more low end than the 10.2 but I would say that if you're only planning on using it for guitar and vocals, you may not need the extended low end that the 12" driver produces. The FRFR mode on these new ZLX's chop off the upper and lower end of the spectrum that normal guitar speakers can't produce. Frequency differences aside, the QSC's are very much PA speakers and don't have any EQ tricks to make them sound more like a guitar cabinet (which I think, whether you're using a modeler or IR loader, having an FRFR that limits the range to that of a traditional speaker cabinet seems to produce the most natural sounding results)
