Electro-VoiceSX300E 12" 300W Passive PA Speaker Black
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Passive 12-inch two-way PA cabinet for live sound. Needs an external amp. Suited to installs, bands and rental stock that already run amp racks.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Bands running a powered rack and speaker cables to the stage
- Fixed installs where amps live in a closet
- Flown as house left/right on a permanent rig
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone wanting plug-and-play — there is no built-in amp
- Outdoor stages, since the cabinet is not rated for weather
- Solo acts who want the fewest boxes to carry
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
99 dB sensitivity, 300W continuous
Efficient enough that a modest amp gets loud. Calculated peak is 131 dB at one meter.
Detail 03
65 x 65 degree coverage
Symmetrical pattern, so it works upright or on its side without changing the throw shape.
Detail 04
Speakon connectors, two of them
Daisy-chain a second cabinet from the first. No binding posts or quarter-inch, so budget for Speakon cables.
Detail 05
50 Hz to 20 kHz at -10 dB
Real low end for a 12, but a sub still helps for kick and bass-heavy program.
Detail 06
32 lb, flying points included
One-person liftable and rigging-ready, so it can go on a pole or hang permanently.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No amplifier, no cables, no pole or stand in the box
- 02Speakon cables are required — check what your amp outputs
- 03Flying hardware and any rigging safety work is a separate purchase
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does the SX300E need a power amp?
Yes. It is passive, so an external amplifier drives it. The crossover is internal, so one amp channel per cabinet is all you need.
02Can I run two off one amp channel?
Two 8 ohm cabinets in parallel present 4 ohms. The cabinet's own minimum impedance is 6 ohms, so confirm your amp handles the load.
03Can it be flown?
Yes, the cabinet has flying provision. Rigging hardware is not included and overhead installs should be done by someone qualified.
04Do I still need a subwoofer?
It reaches 50 Hz, which covers most vocal and guitar material. Add a sub for kick drum, bass guitar and recorded music.
