Disagree. EVOX 12 is a super strong work horse. Build quality is very much higher. After buying them for myself, as a mobile DJ, they are now the go to speaker for rental for house parties and small conferences. Also, the bass unit, with one one of our NEXO PS-15s is an awesome DJ Monitor. We also sometimes put the Line Array units mounted onto the Front of the DJ Desk and place the sub units where they need to be. From an aesthetic perspective, all comment on their looks and we’ve never had any complaints whatsoever. There are always going to be new and updated speakers from competitors, and the Evolve 50s are great, but remember who forced the competition to move in that direction away from the double box standard…. EVOX. 12 or J8 broke the mould. From a build quality, none that you mention are as strong as the EVOX. If used under your own use, either are fine. But in a rental situation, over 3 years, none of our 3 sets have broken down or had any form of construction failure - this includes many situations where they are collected from our warehouse, used unseen and returned. Finally, in my personal opinion, I prefer the warmth of the RCF sub to almost any other. Let’s see what RCF do in their next iteration, with the benefit of 3 years looking at their own and other’s offerings… we will buy it I am sure.

Rather than "who forced the competition to move in that direction away from the double box standard". I think the L1 from bose 7-8 years before the evox is where it all started forcing the competition to move. A combination of the moving trend for djs finding alternative ways of sound reinforcement and the competition following and moving towards the requirement that djs were discovering.The bass unit on the floor and the height adjustable Line Array above.

I personally prefer the RCF Evox 12 bang per buck. Besides I cannot stand the clip in design where you can't position the top speaker. You would have to move the entire unit. Also the ability to raise the top speaker on the Evox 12 pole so that you get a much better throw above the crowd is far better then those lazy fixed click n' play tops. I think the Evox 12 is still the big winner and was ahead of it's time.

it depends what are ur needs. If you sometimes have a bit larger events of 150 PX or more the Evox12 gives u more Putput then the Evolve 50. As more professional Ragne Speakers are as less Options they have as then mostly you use external processors. So there is no "better" one its more a "better one" for a specific area of use. If its all about mobility and u never go mover events with more then 80-100 pax probably the Evolve 50 is "better" for you. But it will limit you in Output if you need more. For me the Evox 12 is more like a professional PA in a modular housing it trys to find a compromise. the Evolve 50 is mb the perfect Wedding DJ PA for smaller Events. i would have like to have a bit more detailled comparisons in power and sound then just to say "its better" mb to compare all 3 side by side at least check with a level meter see which ones gets sound disortion first and stuff like that.

So I agree with you. I wanted to upgrade my 735a and looked at rcf hdm 45a. Sadly non in stock anywhere. I did manage to find after some time the evox 12 system. The feedback I have had from clients has been amazing!. I would still look at the hdm 45a over the evox but I am very happy with the purchase. Shame covid messed up the ability to obtain high end speakers that said my new evox system is a great product at a great price when you consider that it is a subwoofer and top.

I'll take the Evox 12 over the evolve 50. Flimsy plastic set speaker that you have to set up on a stack of books just to get the top sound over the crowd 🤣. Turn the entire speaker since you can't simply raise and turn the tops like you can the Evox 12. One just feels professional the other feels a bit flimsy. But can you give me your opinion db technologies vs the Evox? Thank you and One love .

My opinion on the dB is in the upload 5.24 Evox NO bluetooth NO multiple Channels NO Eq NO transit bags The dB has ALL of the above and is just as robust and solidly built (and available in white). It is much more affordable here and the absolute deal breaker is that the dB is a stereo system. The Evox is only a mono system and the dB has much more power. The only plus on the Evox is the trolley. If the Evox was better than the dB, it would still be in my lockup! 😆 The dB can do everything that the Evox can do at a much more affordable price. No brainer really!

Steve how do you do your setup with the Driverack Pa. I have EVOX 12’s and have the Driverack PA2 and as of yet haven’t set it up as I don’t know where I need to come out of the Driverack to my speakers. Do you just use it as a 2 way system?

@@rickdey5407 It’s really easy to set up. Use the setup wizard and the mixer/controller main out goes to the driver rack input. Take the drive racks stereo out to your powered speakers. There are videos online showing how to do it. It’s very simple. If you have an RTA mic, you can follow the setup wizard for that and the feedback eliminator. From there, you need to learn how to navigate through the compressor settings. You can save numerous setups to recall in an instant.

The Driverack PA2 has an electronic crossover. You only need it if you're adding a SUB. I send a stereo signal to my EVOX 12 from the Drivarack and a separate mono signal to my RCF SUB which I recently purchased. The electronic crossover is configured to send 20hz - 150hz to the SUB and 30hz-20khz to the EVOX 12 speakers. Controlling the EVOX 12 with the additional 18" SUB makes the system sound like a night club installation and earned me my first noise complaint when I tested it out at home.

Je ne suis pas d'accord avec vous. Je préfère mon système evox 12 rcf. Déjà par sa qualité de fabrication made in italy, toujours une qualité sans compromis. Ensuite il va à l'essentiel sans trifouiller tout les boutons, et il le fait bien. Le trolley est un peu certes pour un poids plus lourds mais modulable avec ses deux roulettes intégrés. Si j'avais un points de comparaison, cela sera le dsp dynamique manquant et l'anti larsen plus frileux que sur Ev. Un câble pour relier la colonne c'est vrai mais au moins je me suis dis que c'est plus fiable dans le temps que l emboîtant intégré de EV. Sans aucun regret pour mon achat Evox 12

If I never had the dB I would not have tried the two together If I had a sub (any sub) I would have tested the column with it. I recommend you demo with a sub if you or a friend has one or demo the column in a store if you can with a sub, you never know what results you may achieve. Try the sub1 & sub2 also, you just may find the sound you're looking for

Finally the es1203 take the crown. It's the loudest, it can't go below 50hz BUT man, it's 60-100 Hz is strong! You can change FIR FILTERS via firmware, 10% more power. It's also the cheapest of all 12"column speakers. One of the major benefits is to split the column and have better dispersion outdoor for a larger event. To reproduce the same bass response other system need an external Subwoofer. Can you compare with prx one?
