Electro-Voice® engineering ensures the world’s biggest tours and events sound their best. The experience EV has gained from 80 years of shaping and influencing the business of professional sound reinforcement makes its way into every loudspeaker we make, including the new Tour X.
Tour X embodies the same engineering excellence and aesthetic design found in every world-class EV tour system. Its form is seamlessly integrated into practical, functional elements that make a bold statement about the multi-application purpose and breakthrough performance of Tour X.
A host of innovative features and patent-pending designs make Tour X the most exciting loudspeaker series available today. Features include:
• Breakthrough SMX woofers achieve incredibly low levels of woofer distortion without sacrificing sensitivity. • Aesthetically unique, patent-pending Backbone Grille design for superior strength and damage resistance. • Steep-slope analog crossovers with elliptical filters that provide up to 36 dB per octave slopes. • All-new, proprietary, EV designed ergonomic handles and angled input panels. • Floor monitors with patent-pending SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers) for perfect driver phase summation.
TX1122
12-inch Two-way Full-Range Loudspeaker
The Electro-Voice® TX1122 is designed to be the compact over-achiever of the Tour X family. Employing the same space-saving, 90 degree x 50 degree horn as the FM models and the incredibly low-distortion SMX2120 12-inch woofer, the TX1122 will astound you with performance that blows away ordinary 15-inch, two-way loudspeakers.
The TX1122's unique Backbone grille not only looks great, but also provides greater strength and damage resistance than simple grille block designs. Ergonomically correct handles, angled input panels, integrated pole mount, and six .375-inch threaded suspension inserts make the TX1122 easy to transport and employ in a variety of applications.
TX1122FM
12-inch Two-way Vertical Floor Monitor
With an undeniable combination of functional good looks, compact design and engineering breakthroughs, Tour X FM will redefine the world of stage monitors for years to come. The TX1122FM and TX1152FM advance the legacy of the globally accepted EV FM series and advance it with a healthy dose of innovative Electro-Voice® engineering.
The most notable innovation of the Tour X FM models is the split baffle design with patent-pending SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers) technology. A split baffle creates two very important benefits: moving the acoustic origins of the compression driver and woofer close together, and the split in the baffle becomes the port, allowing for a much more compact enclosure. The result of this design is “signal synchronized” with nearly perfect phase summation. With a unique Backbone grille, Tour X FM models not only look great, but also provide greater strength and damage resistance than ordinary grille block designs. Proprietary, ergonomically correct handles and angled input panels make the Tour X FM models easy to transport and set up in critical stage monitoring applications.
TX1152
15-inch Two-way Fullrange
The Electro-Voice® TX1152 fits the bill when applications that require the low-frequency extension of a 15-inch woofer, with the outstanding pattern control of a larger, rotatable, 60 degree x 40 degree horn. Using the incredibly low-distortion, SMX2150 15-inch woofer, the TX1152 boasts specs normally associated with loudspeakers twice the price.
The TX1152's unique Backbone grille not only looks great, but also provides greater strength and damage resistance than simple grille block designs. Proprietary, ergonomically correct handles and angled input panels, and integrated pole mount and six .375-inch threaded suspension inserts make the TX1152 easy to transport and employ in a variety of applications.

TX1181
18-inch Direct Radiator Subwoofer
The TX1181 is the perfect companion sub to the TX1122 and TX1152 for compact and portable performance. Using the proven EVS18S woofer, the TX1181 effortlessly provides the low-frequency energy needed to keep up with Tour X boxes, as well as many other EV loudspeaker products. The integrated, low-pass input filter allows for single amp drive, and the high-sensitivity and excellent power handling don't require a large, expensive amplifier to generate high SPL.
The TX1181's unique Backbone grille not only looks great, but also provides greater strength and damage resistance than simple grille block designs. Proprietary, ergonomically correct handles and angled input panels, and integrated, screw-in-style pole-mount make the TX1181 easy to transport and employ in a variety of applications.
TX2152
Dual 15-inch Two-way Fullrange
The Electro-Voice® TX2152 excels where all other dual 15-inch loudspeakers fail - transient detail. The secret to the TX2152 is its combination of dual, SMX2150 low-distortion woofers with an integrated analog crossover that uses elliptical filters to achieve 36 dB per octave slopes at the crossover frequency. The result is crossover performance that surpasses many electronic DSP devices and bi-amping.
To keep up with all this output, the TX2152 is the only Tour X model that employs the neodymium ND2 compression driver found in EV's small and medium size line arrays. The TX2152 also benefits from outstanding pattern control of the larger, rotatable, 60 degree x 40 degree horn. Its unique backbone grille not only looks great, but also provides greater strength and damage resistance than simple grille block designs. Proprietary, ergonomically correct handles and angled input panels, and six, .375-inch, threaded suspension inserts make the TX2152 easy to transport and employ in a variety of applications.
TX2181
Dual 18-inch Direct Radiator Subwoofer
The Electro-Voice® TX2181 delivers whenever powerful, low-frequency reproduction is required. An ideal companion sub to the TX2152 in a two-to-one sub top ratio, with the EV DC-One handling crossover and processing duties, the TX2181 makes excellent use of its dual EVS18S woofers to provide the low end necessary for a truly high-end, professional rig.
The TX2181 also works as an outstanding addition to a variety of other EV loudspeaker products. With incredibly high sensitivity and excellent power handling, the TX2181 doesn't require a large, expensive amplifier to generate high SPL. Its unique backbone grille not only looks great, but also provides greater strength and damage resistance than simple grille block designs. Proprietary, ergonomically correct handles and angled input panels make the TX2181 easy to transport and employ in a variety of applications.
