Quick comparison of my new RCF EVOX 8 vs my older small system of JBL PRX612m top cabs over Yamaha DXS12 subs. Camera (Canon 60d) was set up about 30 feet in front of the speakers. Audio was recorded by the built-in mic.

BTW, I was setup with the camera about 30 feet in front of the speakers. My reason for going to the EVOX was to get lighter without losing too much on performance. Most of my events are small (less than 150 people) and my back was looking for some relief. The EVOX system weighs about 48# per side, the JBL/Yamaha setup just over 120#. I paid about the same for both setups.

Definitely a thumbs up for Steely Dan. The Yamaha/JBL has just a bit more Sub reflex on it, however the RCF is really clean, just less bass reflex. The Yamaha/JBL bass reflex is probably coming from the JBL tops if they are in full range. I have the RCF EVOX J8 and I love them. Easy setup and tear down at the end of the gig!

JBL speakers were crossed over at 100Hz from the crossover in the DXS sub. I gave up a small amount of punch for a lighter setup with arguably a cleaner upper end. I ended up selling the DXS12 subs the following year. Still have the JBL PRX612m tops. I use them occasionally for floor monitors and for outdoor events, as they throw a bit tighter than the EVOX 8.

Since song choice has been brought up a few times, let me note that I actually did play a couple cuts after Hey Nineteen .. Boom Boom Pow (BEP) and Uptown Funk, just so I could get a feel for the performance at various frequencies. Being in a hurry to capture the data and having to run back and forth between starting/stopping the camera and changing things on the HW side, those clips weren't so smooth and missed some cues, so I opted to use just the cut I used, since it is one of the best clips to use to evaluate speakers ( blog.jamaudio.com/7-best-songs-testing-speakers-headphones-2/ ) and I've both used it in the past when I did live sound work and, as I mentioned, I still play it out for many of the events I do (parties, etc.) so I know how it is supposed to sound. As always, YMMV. Thanks for viewing. Steve

The RCF is much crisper and punchier with more high end, but lacks the lower midrange and that is the Achilles heel of that particular column array system. The JBL’s are definitely warmer as they have more in the 100-200 hz range, but the sound is looser. For my money, I would go with the RCF Art 932’s

Overall, I would agree. Smoother bass and mid .. better dispersion pattern. The Yamaha sub hits a bit harder, due to the bandpass design, but would be better matched to an 8" or 10" top.

Rock band, with 200 people, probably not. The tops might do OK, but the sub won't be big enough. DXS12 is probably not big enough either. I would suspect for driving rock, 100 or so would be the max .. otherwise you won't get enough bass out to the periphery of the crowd. For rock, EDM, or rap/hip-hop and 200 people, I would bring a pair of 18" subs and a decent set of 10" or 12" tops minimum. The K12 is a fine speaker .. pair that with a QSC KW181 and you'd have a killer rock system (IMO).

Seems like the volume of the RCF bottom speaker is louder in the audible "warmth" area (120Hz -220Hz) than the yamaha/JBL combo at these sound levels.. The RCF system is allready a two-way "tuned" unit from the factory. With the yamaha/JBL combo you need to adjust the level of each unit, and select high and low frequency cuts and subwoofer character ( boost, X-tended LF or off position)..to get a more similar sound to the RCF system.. But that high midrange area (1.2 kHz to 2 kHz) will spread at a much wider angle from those eight 2" drivers in the RCF than from the 12" speaker in theJBL speaker.. I play in full band with two guitar, a bas player and a drummer and we have a pair of dB opera 402D with 1" and a 12" driver and two dB 808D 18" bandpass subs.. We can can choice to use the subs 100Hz crossover to the tops or give the tops the entire signal. Adjustable output on all units, two settings on the tops speakers (flat or prcessed = slight smiley face EQ), and two EQ setting for the subs (flat or bosst) there is great chance of getting a balaced sound dependent on the venue...

MrAnders1976 I did a quick pass with a spectrum analyzer to get the JBL tops/ Yamaha subs as close as I could with pink noise and similar overall SPL wise to the EVOX (which doesn't have controls for the tops/subs). The JBL/Yamahas were run flat intentionally .. while EQing will help any system, if they don't work well flat, it will be tough to dial them in. My goal wasn't to make them sound the same .. just to get them close enough so the folks I had originally posted this for could hear what they sounded like.

Hi, great demo/ comparision. I am a big RCF fan and have got a good armoury consisting of 722a's, 322a's and 310a's. Have just sold my pair of 905a's which, although well-rated, were a bit one-note sounding to my ears. Couldn't find any info regarding the box design on the RCF so opened one of them up. Contrary to popular opinion, found they were a bandpass design as opposed to a reflex. I found they were fine for dance music but were a bit unpredictable for anything else. Unsurprisingly they sounded a bit like your Yamahas. I would comment that the difference in sound between the JBL/ Yammy and the Evox is one of depth v definition. The Evox sounds a lot clear and defined whereas the JBL/ Yammy sounds deeper but maybe more 'scooped'. Personally, since I am a solo guitar vocalist with backing tracks, I am preferring the definition of the Evox system. I am guessing the Evox 8 would be ok for my needs but I might miss the bottom end offered by a 15 inch sub. Any thoughts on the new Evox 12?
@stevenmontambault40458 жыл бұрын
+Buck Williams Saw and heard the EVOX 12, but not enough of it to compare. It did seem better suited for live sound work with the larger upper transducers. The EVOX 8 is indeed similar to the JBL/Yamaha setup I compared it to .. except it's less than 1/2 the weight and packs in half the size .. a prime consideration for me trying to go lighter and smaller. The JBL/Yamaha setup, though, is probably a better fit for small band (I've used it for such in the past), as it's voicing is better suited to that. The EVOX 8 seemed to sound overall cleaner though on recorded music. Surprised on the bandpass design, as their website still calls it a bass reflex enclosure, which usually means a ported design. The Yamaha subs I have are definitely bandpass and the EVOX sub didn't seem to have the same hum around 80Hz.

The bass on the DXS12 just beats the bass on the EVOX, no question about it. But the vocals and high end are much cleaner on the EVOX system. RCF always succeed with compression and vocal reproduction. Whereas JBL has never been good for that sort of thing (IMO)
@stevenmontambault40459 жыл бұрын
Daniel Graves The DXS has more peaked bass (befitting it's bandpass design) .. the EVOX bass is smoother. I mentioned it earlier, but the Yamahas would be a better dance sub (especially the 15" version) .. the EVOX a better listening sub. Live, the 2 tops were both good .. just different. I've always found the JBLs neutral sounding, which is why I originally bought them .. they used to be used at times as vocal monitors when I did some live sound work. The EVOX is just a great package and due to the size and weight, will be brought out more often.

Steven Montambault Very good explanations there, The EVOX is a great system for live sound because it sounds so clear. It is preference about the sound as both systems sound great. I think that the Yamaha does suit much better for dance music and music playback. The JBL tops are okay but I think that the RCF's have a much cleaner, brighter sound which I prefer personally. Have you ever looked into an Electrovoice system? I think that you should look to the ETX series and have a listen to them. You may be impressed

Daniel Graves The EV ETX system is excellent .. It's just heavier than I was looking for. The 12" version (ETX12P) is about 50% heavier than the JBLs. If I was doing larger gigs, I would certainly include the ETX as an option, as they get crazy loud.

Hi Steven, I'm debating whether to get a pair of Evox 8s or a pair of HD10a (or even HD32) with a Art905 sub. I mainly use the system for singing with music tracks, so clarity is my top priority. What's your recommendation? Thanks.
@stevenmontambault40459 жыл бұрын
Apache Cai That's tough .. the HD10a is a great speaker, especially with the 905 sub. The HD32 is a speaker I am looking at to replace the JBL PRX612s I have .. they have one of the best midrange performance of any 12" top I've heard .. mainly due to the fact that with the larger horn, they cross over lower and therefore keep most of the vocal range on that one driver, so less crossover issues with the lower registers. Either of those over the 905 sub will hit harder than the EVOX 8. I love the EVOX as an overall system .. for the weight and size, it performs well and looks clean (IMO) with the thin top. The 905 sub will hit a lot harder than the 12" in the EVOX and will be a better it for larger events. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the combinations assuming you size it to the crowd you have.

Apache Cai From the limited listening I did with the HD32, I'd have to say yes. There is little to no difference in quality between the HD10 and the EVOX, other than the 905 sub is better (but also heavier and more expensive). While I think the HD32 has more clarity, it would be tough without a side by side to tell which sounds better overall (though I might guess the HD32).

It really depends on what you play, the type of venue you're usually at and what your typical audience is looking for. Any of those systems are fantastic and I wouldn't hesitate to use any of them. My personal opinion .. I don't prefer 15" tops with subs (unless you also use them stand-alone). I think you get better midrange out of a 10" or 12" top .. IF .. you always run with a sub. Without the subs, a 12" doesn't have much bottom for anything other than small events, but if you run a sub and high-pass around 100Hz .. the 15" top woofer doesn't benefit you and going smaller would give you tighter mids. That being said, for live sound, I would go probably with the JBL setup, as it will hit hardest (IMO) .. I think the EV setup will be very close and would be on par with the ETX18SP sub vs the ETX15SP you list. I think the QSC is also a good sounding system .. might not hit as hard as the JBL, but I would believe it might sound a bit smoother .. the KW boxes sound very nice. The EVOX will cover a wider area, and probably give the QSC a run as the smoothest sounding of the four, but the 15" sub will limit it against 18" subs .. BUT .. it will pack smaller and be overall lighter and that is a consideration (main reason I bought the EVOX 8). Another option I would add might be the RCF HD32A tops over the 708-AS II subs. The HD-32A is one of the nicest sounding tops I've heard under $1K and the 18" 708 hits pretty damn hard for it's size.

For strictly dance music, probably the JBL/Yamaha setup due to the more pronounced bass, though a 10" top would be a better fit. For general listening, the EVOX is smoother overall and less fatiguing, so it would be my choice for an all-around system. Since they are close enough overall, I will probably replace the Yamahas with a better 15/18" sub (under 80# if possible) and add a smaller set of tops.

With the same input signal, the JBL/Yamaha setup is slightly louder since the horn covers a narrower field (the RCF covers a 120 degree wide area, the JBL 90 degree). So closer to the speaker, the JBL tops are louder .. however, the RCF, because of the linear array design, carries further, so by about 60 feet/20m they are equivalent in my opinion. My camera was 30 feet (10m) from the speakers, so at that point they were fairly close. I have not tried to push both systems as I don't need that level of output for my audiences.

Used the Hk elements / Bose l1 and rcf evox its all smoke and mirrors the fact is when you start pushing the system they all start to limit and compress the sound , a quality 15" sub and 12" / 1" top will always out gun these mini line arrays.... however what these mini line arrays do give you is better coverage horizontally and no HF breakup ear fatigue due to running compression driver too high so they are good but it depends on application.
@stevenmontambault40457 жыл бұрын
I completely agree that it depends on the application ... The EVOX 8 is only a 12" sub, and the L1/HK use 1 or 2 10" subs, so yes, there will be a discrepancy in the bass compared to a 15. If you highpass that 12" top, and are only feeding it over 100Hz, there won't be a lot of difference in capabilities between those and the linear arrays .. the main difference, as you stated, is that these are designed for much more coverage horizontally, so YES, they give up some SPL in any particular area to a top that only covers an area 100 degrees wide .. but in their favor, the sound field DOESN'T drop off as much as you move outwards, so you get a more even coverage for the audience.

Steven Montambault agree , over here in the U.K. Seeing a lot of people buying these systems to save weight and size which is great but some are a step backwards , I tested the short 4 speaker top box elements e435 per side it is not long enough to do the line array magic of less drop off over a given distance compared to the e835 which has 8 small drivers . I compared this to a high passed Martin audio 10" top running at the program rating 600w , I found that the f10+ Martin top was a lot louder up to 20ft away but after this distance the elements e835 sounded louder , interesting stuff and good to know for each application. The lack of HF compression driver gives them less sparkle at low volumes but makes them more HI FI and nice on the ears at high volumes no HF horn 3khz honk

+kuna dread The JBL/Yamaha system gets louder and hits harder, but in my opinion, the EVOX 8 was overall smoother and certainly lighter and more compact (important for my aging back). Everything is a compromise.

The Evox sounds warmer AND cleaner! All round better system! This show's bigger isn't always better!
