PRECISION
In the case of ZLX’s uncluttered control panel, less really does mean more.

Use the presets to optimize ZLX according to your application (music, live, speech, club) and your location (pole mount, monitor, install) and hear the difference in seconds. Smart design, straightforward operation.
