The Electro-Voice EVM12L BlackLabel

The Electro-Voice EVM12L BlackLabel is the signature guitar speaker of Zakk Wylde and Black Label Society, built on the foundation of the legendary EVM12L — one of the most respected guitar speakers in rock history. Designed in collaboration with one of the most demanding players in heavy rock, this speaker delivers the massive, focused tone that has defined Zakk's sound across decades of performing and recording. If you want the speaker that Zakk trusts on the biggest stages in the world, this is it.

Enhanced Magnet Design for Maximum Performance

The BlackLabel builds on the classic EVM12L with an enhanced magnet assembly and improved venting for better thermal performance and tighter low-end response. The massive 16 lb (7.3 kg) magnet assembly provides the strong, controlled magnetic field needed for precise cone movement and articulate note definition — even at extreme volumes. The result is a speaker that stays focused and responsive whether you're playing clean at bedroom levels or pushing a full stack to its limits.

300W Power Handling Built for the Road

With 300W continuous power handling and a 1,200W peak rating, the EVM12L BlackLabel is built to handle anything a high-gain rig can throw at it. The 2.5" (63.5mm) voice coil and robust cone construction are engineered for long-term reliability in punishing live environments. A sensitivity rating of 100 dB means this speaker is highly efficient — you get maximum volume and impact without having to push your amp harder than necessary.

Tone That Cuts Through Any Mix

The EVM12L BlackLabel covers a frequency range of 80 Hz to 7 kHz, delivering the full spectrum of a high-gain electric guitar with tight, controlled lows, punchy mids, and defined highs that cut through even the densest live mix. The 8-ohm nominal impedance makes it compatible with the widest range of guitar amplifiers. Whether you're loading a 1x12, 2x12, or 4x12 cabinet, the BlackLabel brings authoritative, professional-grade tone to any configuration.

Why We Love This
