In this video we are going over the best battery-powered setup I've found for running sound at weddings. This is the system that I use for running sound for ceremonies and cocktail hour (and just events with speeches and music in general). This setup solves the number one issue I see when people run sound for weddings.

Great to know of this gear as a viable option, Scott. I ran sound for a wedding this past weekend with a similar situation. Band was located in the ballroom, and ceremony was elsewhere on the property needing us to set up a stand-alone system separate from the ballroom. Long story short, watching your past videos motivated me to purchase a number of good, reasonably priced 5.8 gighz guitar wireless pods that we set up to get 2 channels on the ceremony sound system connected. Worked out great! Thanks for the continuing to keep us educated.

Nice! Glad to know it’s working! I would just make sure those are reliable wireless. I’m not sure which ones you used, but the 5.8ghz stuff are usually cheaper, so that’s why I mentioned it. Line of sight helps a lot! Cheers, glad you found it helpful 🤘

I've used my Bose S1 L-Ion powered speakers for a few years now. They work great for monitor wedges, playing backing tracks over Bluetooth and even as a busking setup with multiple inputs for guitar, microphone and aux in. I have a couple small duffles I can throw over in case of rain - but the EV takes care of this nicely and the app management for the speakers is ahead of what my Bose does. I'm a HUGE fane of wireless for guitars, IEM... ANYthing that allows me to get rid of cables... and that?... combined with battery powered devices?... is the easiest way to go Larger venues of course - will always require some sort of cables for power, et - but less is more for me! LOL! This is my live busing rig, using a single Bose S1 and a Roland 6xAA amp for Yamaha Silent Guitar (1x9v)... although?... not 'cheaping out' is always a great point to make for your audience - and ME!

I really don’t like when people leave negative reviews for gear when they don’t even try to figure out what they did to influence a bad outcome. I find that 3 and 4 star reviews is where you find out the truth and usually a fix. And never cheap out on backpacking equipment or gig gear 😎

Replay!!! Great video Scott!! Very thorough as always! Great minds think alike when it comes to micing officiants. I love using headsets over lavs because of when they get out of the pickup pattern and harder to control unless you have a digital board with perimetric capabilities. There are very few people I know that bought the weather resistant bag and I would leave it on all the time. I would do a custom bag with a zippered pocket for cables and able to keep the shelf mounted. Also, you have all you need to run wireless speakers if needed with the slxd portable system and mixer. All the gear you already own used for more things!!

excellent video. I watch most of your video reviews and they are excellent. Great job. I'm a DJ as well and have the everse 8. You are 100% correct when you mentioned that it is a perfect set up for wedding ceremonies and cocktail hour. I just picked up the the Shure SLXD15 which was extremely helpful as I recently had to do a beach wedding ceremony. I've not used the EV RE3 mic receiver, but prior to the SLXD15, I've would use a pair of Shure ULXD4 mic receivers in a small rack with a ULXD1 body pack and/or or a Shure beta 58 for readings during a ceremony. Do you find the mic quality with the EV RE3 is comparable to the Shure ULXD or even SLXD ?
@ScottUhlMusic 23 күн бұрын
Nice!! ULXD is an even better system for sure, that’s a fantastic option! I do like the RE3. It sounds fantastic for speeches with the EVERSE, which is why I like it. But if you already have a ULXD, you are set 🤘

Another excellent and informative video! A quick question, if I may, about the EV Evolve 50s you mentioned that you use with your band. How do you find those column array speakers with a live band compared to the usual point source speakers? I have been looking at a pair dB Technologies ES802 column arrays myself. The general consensus is that column arrays aren't as good for live bands and it is quite difficult to test and compare them. And most KZfaq videos are about how they work for DJs. Thanks for reading my essay 🙂
@ScottUhlMusic 23 күн бұрын
Thanks! And my singer in my 90s band doesn’t like them, so he brings his 2 18” subs and tops. Which does sound bigger (especially that low end obviously). But man, having a “thin sounding kick drum” is worth it to me for the simplicity of the setup. I’m always interested in things that get the job done and also make my life easier. So I use them, and they work well! But I know they won’t be for everyone.

You could use a 12 volt lithiumm battery through a pure sine wave inverter to run most PA gear if its not too electric power hungry. Especially as battery pa gear tends to be more expensive and often awkward to swap bstteries over and you maybe able to use the gear you already have.

Broooo I would love to sit down and have a full on interview with you on the grounds that I’m just now getting into live electronics and backing tracks. I’ve been doing electronic music my entire life but normally I would front the band and never been a DJ or the electronics guy in a live setting. I just recently joined a project doing the programming and I will also be doing the live synthesizers and backing tracks and I just have so many questions. For example, if I had three midi controllers and a launchpad all running into different software synthesizers how can I change them Mid song and or in between songs without loading up an entire different project? I have so many questions.

Scott, what would you think about using the 8s (or 12s) as stage monitors? I'm also a Colorado mountain guy and have been getting more requests to do remote live music with 3-4pc bands. I have a Honda ultra quiet generator and will be ordering a 2kw power station soon.. but if I could lessen the load while also having the utility of using them standalone at other gigs, that would be sweet. Ideally I'd like to get something like the EV PXM12M that are built to purpose but versatility wins on a limited budget. Thanks for another great video!
