ETX-18SP vs. Yorkville LS801P

Taipanic 8:47 PM - 11 February, 2014
I am very interested in the new EV sub. I currently have the Yorkville LS800P subs, which I am currently using paired with ZXa5s or SX200s. Spec wise, it looks as if the Yorkie is louder, the EV deeper. Weight is about 23lbs difference, size has the Yorkville a little bigger. The EV has active processing, both have castors. EV amp is more efficient, less power hungry (though less powerful too).
EV | Yorkville
Frequency Range 28 Hz – 180 Hz | 45-150 Hz
Low Pass Frequency Adjustable: 80 Hz, 100 Hz, 120 Hz, 150 Hz | Adjustable Slope
Maximum SPL 135 dB peak dB | 140 (134 Continuous)
Power Rating 1800 W | 1500 Program / 2500 Peak
Power Consumption (max)120V 1.6 A | 120V 7.5
Frequency Response 33 Hz – 150 Hz | 45-150 Hz +/- 3db
Connector Type (2) XLR/TRS Combo Jack and (2) XLR | (2) XLR & (2) 1/4 Inch - line or speaker level
Height 550 mm (21.65") | 81.3mm (32 inches)
Width 675 mm (26.57") | 70mm (27.5 inches)
Depth 910 mm (35.83") | 58.4mm (23 inches)
Weight Net 51.8 kg (114.2 lbs) | 62.3 kg (137.3 lbs)

IF I can get a hold of an EV to demo, I will do an A/B comparison when they come out in April. If the sound quality is noticeably better, I may switch over to the EVs and take the hit on the max SPL as you can always add additional subs if needed.
Of course may all change if I come across a cheap pair of Danley TH-118s or JTR Orbit Shifters.
Certified Quality Entertainment 9:08 PM - 11 February, 2014
The only thing that I think is a downfall of the ETX sub is the fact that it is that heavy and has a low profile. With the York being the size that it is, you can kind of tilt it into vans if needed. With the EV being that heavy and so low to the ground, it may be hard for 1 person to lift into a vehicle. The wheels help once it's out, but getting in and out of a van/truck/car may require 2 people.

I was lifting my RCF718 in and out myself and it was 91lbs and that was close to my limit. Adding another 25 lbs may be too hard (and awkward) for one person.
Would love to hear them though!

In regards to the ETX-18SP, I would not expect any major improvements compared to the usual suspects (jbl prx718xlf, prx618xlf, qsc kw181 or jbl vrx918sp).
Why ?
1. Its using basic reflex cabinet design like all the others.
2. There is no new and or major improvement in the woofer technology to make it more efficient than all others.
3. Power would need to be doubled to see at least 3db improvement over similar sub designs.

So without major improvements in at least one of these areas it will be very difficult to achieve a noticeable difference of 3db or more compared to the usual suspects. Would be nice if im wrong but I doubt it.

All the usual suspects have better sound quality compared to the York but none come close in output without using 2 or more vs 1 York.

As you know, this is the rout im taking with the jbl vrx918sp as I minimize my York stock.
pdidy 11:25 PM - 11 February, 2014
"Power Consumption (max)120V 1.6 A"

That is very LOW, not sure if its a bad or good thing yet......

the one thing that has me wondering about these new etx subs is, the fact that they use DVX drivers the same line thats in the zxa5 & we know how well that bess can you imaging if the zxa5 was designed to be a sub? so this has me wanting to hear the new subs

I agree with the above points but boy, was I shocked when comparing a discontinued EV SBa760 15" sub vs. a QSC HPR181i 18" sub. The EV didn't go quite as low but seemed to knock noticeably harder than the QSC.

Or just not very powerful

a good comparison would be, how many amps for a zxa5?

Certified Quality Entertainment 2:00 AM - 12 February, 2014
Spec sheet on ZXA says 3 to 4 amps when pushed
Taipanic 3:18 PM - 12 February, 2014
A live comparison is definitely needed. Even compared to the specs to the JBL VRX 918 the EV hits lower and a much higher peak SPL (135db-126db), partially due to 300 more watts of power. As we know, specs don't mean anything and are constantly manipulated to create the desired perception. It will be interesting to hear a few of these subs compared side by side. As Gaffle noted, the SBa760 is a sweet sounding sub that sounds bigger than it's box. I was renting a pair of those before I bought the Yorkville. Hopefully this new line will be of that quality. That's it's cheaper than the JBL is a plus as well.
When the EV finally ships I will see if I can get a hold of one to demo. I'll also see about getting some other people to bring other relevant subs so we can have a shootout down here in Tampa Bay.

Its not just sound, but how they "feel" on the dancefloor. These new ETX line have circuitry to push the sound forward on the subs. Thats pretty cool. Check this video at 4:30- Watchwww.youtube.com

The feature referred to in the video is called CARDIOID SUB.
Watchwww.youtube.com

This feature is typically ONLY used by professional sound providers on large scale high end systems. These subs do not seem to fit that model because it is marketed to Mid-level mobile users like dj's. CARDIOID SUB arrays also require the use of additional subs to produce the CARDIOID effect. The market that the ETX line is directed at is Highly unlikely to use, need or afford this feature due to additional sub requirements.

This is a diagram of a basic CARDIOID setup where 1 of 3 subs is set for cardioid duty. upload.wikimedia.org
DJ Val-BKNY11203 10:58 PM - 12 February, 2014
One of the vids I saw said the ETX was one step below concert grade. That's higher than mid level mobile to me.
Aden 11:53 PM - 12 February, 2014
At NAMM, they tested the single 18" ETX with some house song and I def able to feel the bass. I love my 2 kw181's but you can't feel the bass like you can with the ETX.

They tested the dual 18s with some rock tune and it sounded like a concert.

I can't wait to hear these again!

Totally. I knew that going in hence why I'm so interested in hearing them again in a different room.

Either way, I thought it sounded better than my kw181s. I'm not sure how it would match up to a Yorkville. My guess is the Yorkie would still be louder.
Taipanic 2:33 PM - 13 February, 2014
By the stats, you would still need 2 EVs to equal 1 Yorkville for SPL. The EVs should sound better and go deeper though.

Actually they tested the single 15" with the dance song. The single 18" was tested with the rock music. I wish they would have done it the other way around as I was really wanting to hear how low the 18s could go.

There is no double 18" in the series.

Also, that was a VERY controlled environment. Real world testing is what I am waiting to hear back on.

Really? My bad…for some reason i thought it was the single 18s on the dance song. So yeah…those 15s are legit.

Yeah, they don't have a dual 18" model….I was referring to the two 18's they had stacked on each side.

Seriously, thats all I wanted to see and hear, wtf. He didnt even mention the specs on them really. I can tell you this about both of those powered subs, you want maximum impact on the dancefloor, go with the Yorkville. Horn loaded subs are hard to beat for that physical feeling. You want impact, but also great bass quality, go EV.

Not yet, still trying to get a hold of the EV through one of my connections. My goal is to set up a day and invite all local DJs out and A/B a bunch of stuff, not sure how soon that will happen though.
If I can get a hold of the EV this week I will try and get a good comparison between the two done and posted.

I would go with the ETXs. Built in DSP, cardioid setting, a little smaller and better sounding. Having 8 of them you should be able to reach any SPL level you would need for most gigs. I will probably keep my Yorkville LS800p but will invest in the new ETX line when I get some extra income.

Yeah, thats what i was thinking. Because i normally cluster all 8, and strap my 4 kw152's on top. And they sound great.

But ive never heard the yorkvilles in person. So i didnt want to shortchange myself if they sounded better than the etx's.

And to be honest, the power efficiency specs on those etx's blows my mind.

The Yorkvilles are loud but very boomy. Eight of those together would probably be so muddy the overall quality of sound wouldn't be good. Fixtures would be coming off the walls though...
If you run that big of a rig you should also check out the ETX35ps - 60x40 pattern, three way speakers will give you the best sound quality.
Certified Quality Entertainment 8:23 PM - 12 August, 2014
If you are going into that kind of sound, why not look into some Danley subs? You can probably get 3 to 4 for the price of 8 EVs. I'd say the 4 probably equal more than 8 EVs. Gaffle can probably vouch for that as he has 4 of the Danleys.

I agree Danleys would be even better output & sound quality at a cost of somewhere around $4k a speaker (including amp cost). I'd love to have a pair and have checked them out a few times at Infocomm but still on the fence on if I will ever pull the trigger.

Probably close to $3k per speaker. They generally come non-powered but I believe you can have a plate amp added if you want. 160lbs, sound incredible. JTR Orbit Shifters are nice quality subs too, a little cheaper than these.

Was about to say but you beat me to it.. 2 of them will sound better than 8 etx subs. Less to haul around
Certified Quality Entertainment 9:10 PM - 12 August, 2014
Yea, in the sub game Danley's are monsters. I've never heard them personally but read up on them. You will get really high SPL as well as superb sound quality. Trade off to that is the weight and price.

I actually did price out a powered TH118 and it was around the $5,000 mark. But I'm sure you can get a little better if you choose to get 2 or 3.

And I think 2 or 3 clustered will probably easily compete or out perform 6-8 ETX subs.

I did an outdoor last weekend with four ETX15SP subs and a pair of ETX12P tops. It was great sound. You could tell what songs I was playing a mile away :)

I was playing mostly 70s and 80s rock, soul, funk and country and it was crystal clear and the bass was tight. All EQ was flat on everthing, board and DSP in the cabinets. It all played off one 15 amp circuit, including the mixer, computer, wireless and feedback shark.

Everything on one 15 amp breaker???


Everything one one 15 amp breaker?
rayjthedj 2:35 AM - 20 August, 2014
It was all on one 15 amp breaker. Furman showed a max draw of 14.2 amps (which I really thought should have tripped the breaker. It ran mostly between 10-12 amps. Breaker temperature increased less than 20 degrees and was warm, but not hot to the touch, house is 20 years old, but very well built.

Take a look at the types of music I was playing, very musical songs, but not a constant thump thud like hip hop. If I had played music with more of a low end thud and drone sound, it probably would have pulled more amps. I do think I could have played whatever I wanted on a 20 amp breaker, because I would have pushed the speakers to thermal and they would have limited, rather than just flashing the lights for eye candy.

I am mostly a DJ but have done sound for numerous bands over the years. I do not consider myself a Sound Engineer or a Live Sound expert.
I think the ETX subs will sound good in that setup, probably a lot tighter kick drum than the Yorkville would provide, which is more important in a live sound mix than rumbling bass.
I still haven't been able to line up an ETX and a time to do testing, been pretty busy.
If things test out as I think they will, I will probably keep the one LS800p I have and get a couple of the ETX subs, along with another ZXa1 sub to make a pair for my smaller system. I'd like Danleys but can't see justifying that purchase anytime in the near future.
Might also swap out my ZXa5s for the ETX 3 ways, not sure yet, that will also require an A/B test.
Asu 12:40 PM - 4 September, 2014
Great info guys...thinking about a scalable system.4-6 of ETX 3 ways being 60x40 will def give better pattern control.and 4-8 ETX 18" subs.

meanwhile i used the ZLX as monitors for bands during the long weekend,and the guys were really really impressed with the sound clarity on them,i set them to monitor,live setting and flat EQ(Hi & LF set at zero) on the zlx :-)
TheJamSpace 5:21 PM - 4 September, 2014
Asu, I use the ZLX line for stage monitors as well. They are great for that application. They give good stage volume/sound and really I just don't like putting any of my wood boxes on the ground.

Regarding the ETX 35P's - I've heard talk that they are designed to be paired but I haven't seen anything from EV as far as a product to fasten them in pairs.. are you just thinking of pole mounting one per sub?

i was thinking of using 1-3 per side over 1-6 QRx 218S depending on the type of event and number of people expected...the 60x40 should make that task much easier.

High passing them using the built in dsp should make things very interesting.

that's for a powered system

or passive 6 x QRx 212/75 over 6 x QRx 218S to keep power requirements down while keeping the SPL high.
DJ SL1 4:13 PM - 24 November, 2014
so no final verdict?
Asu 11:01 PM - 19 March, 2015
ETX beats the KW181 hands up or down lol...very nice deep lows,but the weight will be an issue for some.

yes you are correct looking to match my etx 35p...but how much better will the etx 18sp or even the vrx918sp sound over my beloved yorkies? I keep hearing alot of good things about the etx18p and the vrx918sp subs....

a better quality sound/deeper bass vs the boomy sound of the york

you might be able to get $1,000 for each york maybe, it has to be one of the people that pays retail & doesn't know you can get gear cheaper than list price
Taipanic 7:17 PM - 13 May, 2015
You would also probably need 5-6 of each to match the output of the 4 Yorkvilles but they will sound better.

If you're happy with the ETX35P's and feel you'll stay with them, I'd stick with the same brand (uniform logos) and run the ETX18P's vs. JBL subs. Sounds petty but my "guess" is the ETX18's hit harder and lower than the VRX subs anyway. The downside is they're larger and heavier per.

Yes , it will take 6 jbl vrx918sp @ a cost of $1500ea X 6 = $9000

Yorkville resell value = $800ea X 4 = $3200

$9000 - $3200 = $5800

Final cost = $5800 (wheels add $300)

my guess is you will keep the yorks.....lol

but RIDDIMNBLUES wants ev etx18sp's

if he could get $3,200 for his yorks …..he only needs to come up with $1,200 to get 4 ev's

not a bad move at all IMO……I've listened to them etx18sp, they sound very nice, those four subs will not match the output of his yorks …..but they will sound better
pdidy 12:09 AM - 14 May, 2015
whether its EV or JBL 6 subs will be REQUIRE unless he's willing to take a downgrade in output.

4 ls800p vs 4 etx18p just is not a fair comparison because the York will win in brute force alone.

Well ive actually tried to substitue 2 yorks for 2 VRX and my dj clients were not big fans at all (including Me).

To quote one of my clients....."I dont give a F*ck about dem new joints (2 of my VRX) if day dont knock as hard as them yorky's (2 yorkville ls801p)". My point is Clients dont care about sound quality if it comes at the cost of reduced output......

It took 3 vrx for my clients to accept the VRX compared to 2 yorkviles but the 4th VRX made them fall in love and ONLY want the VRX......:)

you said it best …..because they don't know what quality sounding bass is……as long as the walls shake there happy…….who cars if the bass is muddy , but can the bass get sooo low that it will cause you to vomit? vomit inducing bass is quality bass in my book……lol

a side by side A/B of the york and rcf would be nice if you dont sell the york first. im pretty sure the rcf will beat the york in every aspect but im not 100% it will win in output because the york can play higher in frequency which is why it beats most subs.

And between the zxa5's and the rcf 745a i would go rcf's all the way..The rcf's is a better sounding speaker and it pounds hard just like the zxa5's...the extra output the zxa5's have is extra output that you don't want to hear trust me it don't sound good when you have a screaming zxa5 plus its almost certain you will blow the speakers..

The bigger voice coil and protection from the rcfs is a no brainer

Just wanted to report back on my two (2) HD32as and two (2) 8004s. I had a gig on Sunday with about 250 guests. I was running my Rane 62 into an Allen and Heath Zed 10FX. Everything on the Allen and Heath was running unity and Rane's master gain at 3 o'clock (8 on the mixer and RCFs were set at 12 o'clock (unity gain). Ran it there for about two songs before the venue told me to turn it down. They said it was too loud and too much bass. I gave them this wtf kinda of look cause they venue was in the middle of nowhere with the closest building about 5 miles away. I didnt get a chance to do a walk around to hear the output. I did notice people were dancing further away from the speakers than usual. Lulz. I will try again this weekend.

Out of curiosity, unless you are running multiple mics why run a $1700 mixer like the Sixty Two into a $300 Allen & Heath Mixer? I am pretty sure the rane mixer sounds better. This is not to talk shit...it's a real question.

In my OPINION, you should always have an Outboard mixer (or preamp) to control and contour the sound before going into amps....

That way, when you need more volume, and based on gain structure, you don't have to turn up the Rane...

All the headroom would be located in the Outboard mixer.

Interesting...

So you still ultimately go from Master Output of mixer to Powered Tops, and Booth out (also of the mixer) to Passive chain...

So what did y'all do before these mixers or Controllers with high output?

I still need something between the mixer and amp section....

Sure, before I got powered speakers 15 years ago when the Mackie SRM450 and SRS1500 came out, I had a full rack with a mixer, EQ, compressor/limiter, crossover before the signal made it to the amp. www.djdynamight.com

But the beauty of powered speakers is the simplicity. Just plug it in and rock out. Sure, having an outboard mixer or EQ is great to tailor the sound, but in most of my cases, it's not necessary to use. I have found that coloring the sound too much causes powered speakers to clip/limit prematurely.

Correct!

But we all know, if cats are SERIOUS about their sound, they'll make sure the correct components are in the audio chain.

The Rane 62 is a pretty high end mixer. The quality of the internal components is way better than anything present in the Zed 10. Unless you are running multiple mics (which you could just use a line mixer to feed into the Rane) then I can't see any benefit of going mixer to mixer unless you were just controlling overall volume.

Unless you are running multiple mics (which you could just use a line mixer to feed into the Rane) then I can't see any benefit of going mixer to mixer unless you were just controlling overall volume.



The Zed 10 has some of the same components of their big brother Allen and Heath mixers. Their larger units are well respected among sound pros.

And the truth is that you really just need a mechanism to AMPLIFY the sound, not necessarily color it.

I've seen some mixers actually have their OUTPUT REDUCED when you connect them directly to amps and whatnot due to the resistance of said device, which can either do potential damage to the mixer, sound quality or both.

Line level Outboard mixers are designed to take what you have and properly amplify it.

To each his own though.

Had an event at The Houstonian here in Houston last night. Speakers took out a couple of light fixtures. I'm just glad they didn't hit anyone on the head.

So I just sold my EV elx tops and bottoms. I loved them they were great but wanted to get the JBL PRX series. So my question is now that I have these, what are the recommended settings and wire routing I should do? I have 2 PRX715 and 1 PRX718xlf until I get my other one in a couple of weeks. Thanks in advance.
