you can surely say that. todays technology makes it so much easier to step back into the hobby. much more funner too!

BOOM! Get you a couple!

You should! But don't sleep. I feel like they are going to sell out.

This

I have a feeling that is in the near future. Don't you?

Yorkville already makes multiple different sized battery powered subs. Diamondbox made one in the past. I’m sure EV is working on something to compete.

SKAA has wireless Sub already. DFB. NAMM is gonna be crazy!

​@@bboymac84 They do? Do you have a link?

Glad you enjoyed it

Kaboom! 8 is killer, 12 is insanity.

Most of mine too, but I can see this coming in handy at some stuff in 2024 too!

You're gonna love this!

I have been thinking since they did Everse8 lol.

Yup!

We shall see

JBL bye bye. EV Hello.

With me or the speaker?

@@DJJoeBunn don’t act like you don’t know

@aaronstrawn your wife is gonna leave you if you buy these 😂

@@ThatDJMike 🤐

Stick with the 8.

@@MBrulla Agree!

The 8 will def cover that and not take up as much room in your ride.

I've had 2 of the Everse 8s and used them last season for all of my ceremonies. Mostly 100 or less. They are awesome. The everse12s would be suitable for 100 plus ceremonies IMO

@@DJCharlieBgcp Easily, as long as you don't need a bass kick during the recessional. Basic instrumentals/speech? No worries.

Yeah, they're def. not for rocking parties. No matter who makes them.

would be so dope

What is better for a street musician? two Everse 8s or one Everse 8 and one Everse 12? Everse 8 is already there, I bought it last fall. There used to be two JBL Eon One Compact. At a street game in different places, they alternated. Two to three days with one speaker, leaving the second one at home, two to three days with the other. Reduction of physical wear and tear. I sold them not so long ago. I was thinking of buying another Everse 8, but the Everse 12 appeared. And I wondered whether to buy it or 8? But since I have 8, does it make sense to take 12? What does this give, other than a slightly larger Spl of 126 dB? There is no place to compare personally. And they sound almost the same on KZfaq.

Everse 8 vs Jbl Eon One Compact sounds 2 times louder and richer. I compared it here. A short 1.5-minute story on the street. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbOAnrOE2bPLn2g.html I didn't expect this from the same size as JBL, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over me. Will there be any difference in the sound of Everse 12 compared to Everse 8?

@@georgchekinoff239 Just got my 12. Much fuller, Hifi full range sound, next level! Still testing...........

Sennheiser EWDX

Heard that.

I wouldn't

Just a bonus add really for bluetooth streaming.

Compression drivers are inherently capable of much higher output, in the case of the EVERSE-12, this contributes to overall efficiency of the speaker and higher SPL

@@michaeldoucot3768 Thank you! That explains how they are getting 5db more max volume with the same amp.

I might let my EV folks answer that one. Or it might be on the site.

EV says 126dB for Everse 12. Everse 8 spec is 121dB.

@@NukePooch1 Thanks! I appreciate it!

Of course it’s the most important thing (the max SPL output) but he decided to dodge that bullet and not even mention it and leave it out from his talk probably ‘cause he knows DJs might not like that part and that it is super important basically the main thing we need to know coming out of a speaker being that the sound pressure level so we know how loud it goes and how much room it could cover (which it wouldn’t be a good selling point and it would ruin the hype)… I’m sure it’s not going to give that much, enough SLP for a party of even 100 - 200 - 400 people by just having 2 (a pair) and we are going to have to buy 4 of them to reach that good SLP for those kind of events which at that point might as well just bring out TWO of my Art 932s 12”s RCFs …or JBLs Or Yorkville or Das, FBT, etc and deal with power and xlr cables BUT, not miss or compromise on any sound quality or volume coverage… I also own EV ELX200-12P a pair with EV ELX200-12S (12” subwoofers) and they’re dope at a good SPL and way better than the ZLX model which I also owned in the past before the ELX200s and even though they’re better they still have that booming sound on the woofer (the tops im talking about now) not the the woofers… they’ve got this booming sound after playing for a couple of hours without distortion though but I think EV suffers from that booming sound on the woofer and enclosure after playing at a high volume for a couple of hours like after 2 or 3 it starts I think… so the ZLX specially had that too… so I don’t know but I hope these new 12 not only don’t come with that booming sound but also can cover much of the room in sound with that SPL they have? Which he avoided talking about here.

@@mazusub8182 TMDR

I don't think I had anything connected to it.

You and me both!

If the demand for a white version proves to be high enough we will certainly add that at a later time ;)

I'll let the EV folks answer this one.

Yes - that can work but need to use XLR cable to connect them at that point. TWS only works with Bluetooth streaming, not hardwired inputs.

I had to purchase an Alto wireless transmitter/receiver to run mic output to the other everse8. Had to get a small battery pack to power that. Still all mounts to the tray. The other everse8 powers the alto receiver.

You can def play parties with them, maybe 100 folks medium to small room. With subs, more folks. But I wouldn't. I'd just get ELX200 for that scenario. These are if you need to be remote (beach, no power, etc)

No clue, I'll let EV guys answer this one.

DC voltage output is the same at EVERSE 8 - 12V / 500mA

I'll let EV guys answer this one

Both EVERSE 12 and ZLX-12BT are rated at 126db MAX SPL

@michaeldoucot3768 I rarely use my ZLX 15 inch since I got my EKX 15 but the battery function in a true DJ speaker sounds good. Currently I use ADJ 12s or soundboxs for battery powered speakers

Def not.

I'm also happy with my Everse 8, I even created a whole playlist for my amateur videos. Everse 8 professional battery-powered speaker system (home and outdoor tests, sound comparison): kzfaq.info/sun/PLbj7PzWDzGJX8d-fvcsuldKeyUDtbiFrV

По громкости между Everse 8 и Everse 12 будет такая разница или нет ? Как в этом коротком минутном сюжете двух кратная разница в пользу Everse 8 в сравнении с JBL Eon One Compact ? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbOAnrOE2bPLn2g.html

If you’re really wanting to use these speakers but need more inputs your can pick up externals mixers really cheap. If using them without power cables is important there are some better powered ones but I’m not sure how God they are. :)

Agree that this is a bit bare for being at the top end for battery PAs though

very difficult to find a nice battery powered mixer with all the needed features like phantom power xlr inputs etc.

Pretty sure you have to run a cable for it.

​@DJJoeBunn They say it has a Bluetooth transmitter built in for wireless connections. Also I have a 12V dj console that needs 1A...was thinking of making a cable connecting two in parallel to maintain the voltage and increase the amps...can anyone shine some light at it? i

@@bioversion6983 Way above my paygrade. Reach out to ben@nlfxpro.com for tech stuff.

We fill the speaker with helium before shipping ;)

@@michaeldoucot3768 it seemed like a good idea until all the vocals came out sounding like Alvin and the Chipmunks.

I don't think that I'm qualified to answer this one.

@@DJJoeBunn thanks for the honesty man… I’ve done enough research now that I’m thinking the EV12 wouldn’t be a replacement for what my QSCk.12 does just because of volume. Maybe I’ll test it someday but for now I’ll probably buy an EV8 and keep my K12.2 and not try to cover both use cases with one speaker. Thanks!

@@BillySoundFarm solid decision

I hear ya! Maybe they will!

Eventually I think so, but I don't work there.

Haha that's fair enough, fingers crossed your prediction is correct:)

It won't.

@@raybrophy1297 When you take off the cover, it's no longer waterproof. The cover is for if you are using it as a bluetooth speaker.

@@bunndjco Thank you

Totally different animal. I wouldn't even compare these to those.

I'm going to get my EV folks to answer this one. Not sure.

Yes - TWS will work between an 8 and 12 version. Additionally, both can be controlled via EV Quicksmart app simultaneously!

Even in all the pics I took, I was one-handing it.

@@DJJoeBunn That's 31 lbs with a battery in it too.

LOL, you do realized people don't just send me stuff right?

I compared ZLX Gen2 and Everse12... I bought everse because it's better, for my needs (acoustic guitar and mic). More details comming out of everse

@@aleksandarmarkovic4913similar volume power?

@@ZackPomerleau i didnt run them to peak power, so i dont know the max SPL

I'll let me EV folks answer that.

never heard of those.

That would be kinda cool for one man band kinda things.

@@DJJoeBunnI’m considering getting one of these and I do a one man band. My everse 8 covers 80 percent of my gigs comfortably and a bit more at max. My evolve 50M is a pain to bring out. This might make things a bit easier.

@@ZackPomerleau I think the whole point of them making this bigger one was so you could actually do shows (vs. like really small stuff with the 8)

@@DJJoeBunn makes sense. I just tried one in store and compared to my 8. I’m thinking of buying it for real world experience. I say this because I felt I couldn’t achieve a really meaningful volume difference. My only thought process was that the 12 disperses better so it doesn’t seem as loud, where the 8 blasts to get the same volume. Otherwise, I felt it was limiting a guitar pretty quickly.

@@ZackPomerleau The 12" - actually +5db (126 vs 121) so there should be a noticeable difference. You may not have perceived it that way, but it is certainly an upgrade in output. In the end, if the 8" works for you no reason to make a switch ;)

Comparing EV to whatever American Audio is is offensive. lol

Everse 8 is awesome. I’m assuming the 12 has the same features - what sets the Everse apart is that it’s purpose built for public announcement. The FX, ducking, and feedback suppression are excellent. The power supply for mic receivers and power output for iPads is clutch.

It slaps.

Or use the hydraulic ones.

If Mackie sends it, I'll do it.

not yet.

I'd recommend that you go and listen for yourself in person. I am sure you will find the EVERSE12 to be better than the EON One Compact in every way. Can't really trust You Tube as a reliable method for listening.

Greetings! I am solving this dilemma now. I have Everse 8. I compared the volume on the street with my Jbl Eon One Comact, the corresponding videos are on my channel. JBL Eon One Compact vs Everse 8. I was very shocked by the sound pressure of the Everse 8. As a result, I sold two of my JBL speakers (2021 and 2022) and am thinking about buying another one! Again, Everse 8 or Everse 12, which I plan to use in the city alternately at street performances. I play rock music: lead guitar with backing tracks and vocals. I used to do the same with Jbl Eon One Comact. Two or three days later, they switched between each other, reducing the physical wear of each speaker. But there is another space everywhere. Now, where there is less, I think that Everse 8 is better, where there is more, Everse 12 is better. Transportation on a 6-wheeled Italian Gimi "Tris New" trolley. On KZfaq, who is interested in what kind of cart it is, there is a video with this name. Type Gimi "Tris New" and you will see. The Everse 12 is of course bigger and heavier, but it can also be placed in this 6-wheel cart. Whether to buy it or not, I cannot decide, and there is no way to hear the difference in sound between them live. What do you say? If we compare the sound live, are there any differences between Everse 12 and Everse 8? It's unclear on KZfaq. It feels like they sound almost the same. Then what's the point of a 12-inch speaker?

No way they touch EV.

@@DJJoeBunn True. But you can get 2 Thump Go's for the price of 1 Everse. So sound performance is there. But 1 Everse vs 1 Thump Go, definitely Everse wins.

But they're not good lol.

@@DJJoeBunn there are good enough for what I need

​​@@DJJoeBunn What about the new one Mackie ShowBox ?

No clue what that is@@georgchekinoff239

The new portable speaker system from Mackie. It was released in January 2024. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mr9lZLCL1ZuZm5c.htmlsi=u0om5aX3VhllxcZi only the dear one. 799 dollars. I do not know how it sounds. I also have Everse 8. Here I compare it on KZfaq with others. As far as I understand, Everse 8 and 12 are best suited for solo performances. But the Everse 12 still also lost its mobility due to its large size and greater weight than the Everse 8. The weight feels good - 7.6 kg vs 14.1 kg 💪 you can simultaneously swing your biceps)

Not really.

On a battery...

Soooon

You sure you are using it right? The tray rules.

@@DJJoeBunn I just don’t have the patience I guess to screw those little screws in and out. Wish you could just keep it on and keep it stored like that

@@rjpimprov On the 8? You can. Mine stays on there all the time. Hmmm, wondering if you have the divider for the bag laying on the bottom of the bag?

@@DJJoeBunn hmmm. I’ll have to retry that. I have both the ev bag and the jbl bag. Jbl bag is a little more protective (harder shell)

@@DJJoeBunn Ok..it fits great. LOL! I'm still using the JBL eon one compact bag though....i like it's protection a little more. Thanks for talking some sense into me!

It is overkill - unless of course you want a speaker capable of getting much louder that plays lower in frequency or runs longer on battery - you know, what professionals want.

The point is advancement in battery powered technology. Many times DJs get to a venue or the event wants you setup outside or something with no power. With two of these and a jackery unit, you could throw a party anywhere and sound good. If it doesn’t fit your needs, that’s okay, but 5 years from now when everyone has full battery speaker setups, it will be because of Electro Voice pushing that envelope.

LOL, I love when folks write my answers for me! Nailed it!

LOVE THIS!

It’s for people who want to rock a party with out have to run power
