The Electro-Voice ELX200-12SP powered subwoofer delivers heavyweight low end for small- to medium-sized PA systems. This 12" subwoofer is the perfect companion for ELX200 full-range tops, harnessing a beefy 1200W of Class-D power to move some serious air. Engineered to handle the punishing demands of touring, the ELX200-12SP's 15mm plywood enclosure is as rugged as it is lightweight. An innovative suspension system reduces distortion for clean, articulate bass. The ELX200 series, redefining what's possible for affordable, professional sound reinforcement.

QuickSmartDSP Provides Intuitive Control

At the heart of the ELX200-12SP is Electro-Voice's powerful yet user-friendly QuickSmartDSP platform. A large LCD and single knob provide easy access to essential functions like 4-band EQ, 5 user presets, multiple crossover points and limiters. For unparalleled flexibility, the free QuickSmart Mobile app allows you to control up to 6 ELX200 speakers simultaneously from any mobile device. Make changes on the fly without running back and forth from the mixer. QuickSmartDSP's processing muscle and mobile integration usher in a new era of simple, accessible DSP control.

High-Output Transducer Delivers Chest-Thumping Lows

The ELX200-12SP is equipped with a custom-designed 12" EVS-12L woofer, engineered to reproduce powerful, extended low frequency response. With power handling up to 1200W, this woofer cranks out a whopping 129dB of clean, impactful bass. Its lightweight cone provides quick, accurate transient response, even at high SPLs. Combined with a bass-reflex enclosure tuned for maximum low-end output, the EVS-12L woofer gives the ELX200-12SP a bold, authoritative sound that you can feel.

Road-Ready Design for Life on the Move

While the ELX200-12SP thunders on stage, its plywood enclosure is deliberately lightweight for portability. Integrated handles and pole mounts make setup and breakdown a breeze. The ELX200 series' sleek, modern esthetic belies its rugged build quality, ready to withstand the rigors of the road or permanent installation. A complement of suspension points, pole mounts and available flying hardware provides flexible mounting options for any application. Powerful, practical and priced for any budget, the ELX200-12SP delivers a lifetime of flawless performances.

    Glad I bought it !

    I currently use 2 ELX 15P's for my rig, but felt I needed a sub to round out the sound with some nice bass. I was on the fence between the 12's and the 15's. For size/wight and price I went for the 12. I am so glad I did. The bass is tight and punchy-perfect for the music I play-mostly Latin-some dance/disco/classic R&B. The difference it makes adding the sub is like night and day. I've always used subs in the past ( unpowered 18's) -but since I downsized-I have been missing that crucial component. I picked up the sub at my local GC and ran to a gig and unboxed it at the gig. It was a jiffy to set up and sync with the EV tops with the bluetooth app. It was a corporate banquet type of affair with 250 people in attendance at a hotel ballroom. Placed in the middle;the sound quality was excellent. 1 sub was more than sufficient for the room and the crowd. Best of all I can still fit my entire rig, including the sub, in a VW Golf. I think people who DJ weddings and dance type of events should consider the 12, since it focuses the sound on the dance floor not way out to the back of the room like a 15 or 18 would do. 2 side by side would be the ultimate for a larger crowd/space. If the job calls for it-that may be my next move.

    Speaker went out after only 6 months

    I purchased this Sub back in November 2019, and it went out during a live show only 6 months later. Was not able to find any customer support numbers for EV online and the one I received from GC was for a security alarm company. Took my sub to a local repair place in Dallas and found out I had a 3 year warranty through EV (which was great news). They found that the speaker had gone out and sent off to EV for a replacement only to find that they were on back order and have no idea when to expect it in. I would love to call EV to see about options but no numbers work. Very dissatisfied with EV and their customer support which is non existent. Audio Electronics out of Dallas has been great but that has been my only source of support. This was a nice sounding sub, just hope it doesn't break.

      Simply put this is a 12" powered sub that delivers bottom end (129dbs) in a lightweight package (42lbs). Match them with 8-10-or 12" tops and you won't be disappointed. Now I have seen Bands and DJs use them with 15' tops and while it works that's asking these guys to do more than they are intended, look you really have to follow the rules of sub use for balanced sound. A sub should never be smaller than your tops, eventually the tops will overpower the bass and you'll be turning up the sub. Then they will start "Clipping", and you'll be on here saying it isn't loud enough. Sub Rule: (8",10",12" tops = 12", 15", or 18 sub), (15" tops = 15" or 18" Sub) I Straight out love these subs for my DJ business paired with the ELX200 10s they are the perfect size, sound and weight for every event I do. I have been using this set up for the last 4 years and have not once regrated this purchase.

      They're rated at 1200 watts. That's peak. They would be 420 watts RMS
