EV Everse 8

So first of all a little description of what I use it for.
Im A singer/acoustic guitarist mainly doing covers of folk/pop/rock and more than 25 Years on the stage.
Been through most of the compact systems out there!
My experiences
Bose L1 Compact:
Not enough headroom if the crowd is a bit loud and you need to crank it + needs a mixer in front of it to really sound good and also has no reverb built in !
Bose S1 pro:
Again Not enough headroom and I always had a rattle from the 6.5 woofer when playing drop D
Fender Acoustic Go:
Sounds great for the guitar no headroom issues but never got my vocals the way I wanted to ( always A bit boxy ) + if you like me have a low baritone kinda voice there was just no presence/attack on the low end notes.
HK Era 1:
Same as The Fender but also mine at least had a gain problem on the mic and would tend to clip if I wanted it loud + had a lot of hiss at higher volumes.
So now to the Everse 8:
Simply blown away by the sound projection on this thing !
App is stable and have had no connection issues at all.
Effects are solid ( at least the hall/reverbs ) don't use anything else.
Loads of headroom and completely silent (no Hiss ) even at high volumes.
I use a At 5400 condenser mic / and the fishman blend system and can sit 1 m in front 1.5 m to the side of it at really loud volumes without any feedback.
sound is Crisp, warm and the lows come across powerful and tight on my voice!
Really Can't recommend this thing enough is you are a singer songwriter or solo performer !
Simply stunning.

Ich habe mir die EV Evers 8 vor 6 Monaten gekauft. Zuvor hatte ich eine JBL EON ONE Compact getestet. Habe die JBL Box zurückgesendet, weil mir die Leistung nicht ausreichte, auch die Bedienung mit endlos Reglern und Farben Spielereifand ich nervig. Die EV Evers 8 kostet etwa 250,-€ mehr, die sich auf jeden Fall lohnen.
Ich mache damit Straßenmusik, mit einer steirischen Harmonika. Die Harmonika hat auf der Diskant und auf der Bass Seite ein Mikrofone. Erster Eingang für den Bass, zweiter Eingang für die Diskant Seite, der kleine 3,5 mm Klinken Eingang für die Band ( background music ) i Pad. Die beiden ersten Eingängen haben Phantomspeisung, welche ich aber nicht benötige.
Ich verwende eine AKG Funkmikro Anlage. Diese benötigt 12 Volt Stromversorgung. Die EV Evers 8 hat einen solchen Ausgang. Absolut gut durchdacht. Hier zwei kleine Mängel: 1. Es gibt kein 12 Volt Kabel welches in den Ausgang der EV Box passt. In den Eingang des Funkmikro Receivers passen alle Kabel. Nach langen suchen habe ich von einem alten Netzteil einen Stecker gefunden, welcher in die Box passt und habe mir ein Kabel selber gelötet. Keine Ahnung warum das so ist.
2. Ein weiterer Mangel, es betrifft noch mal diesen 12 Volt Ausgang. Ist der Akku der EV Evers 8 weniger als die Hälfte geladen, ist ein deutliches Brummen zu hören. Bei voller Akku-Ladung oder Netzbetrieb, hört man gar nichts.
Absolute Spitze ist der eingebaute Mixer von Dynacord. Alles übersichtlich und selbsterklärend. Die Effekte können jeden Eingang separat zugewiesen und eingestellt werden.
Der Gesamtsound ist druckvoll und klar. Die Leistung von 400 Watt reicht für meine Bedürfnisse vollkommen aus. Auch bei höherer Lautstärke, kein verzerren im Bassbereich, wie es leider bei der JBL der Fall war.

I expected these to perform slightly better than the Bose S1 Pro System, but in reality they're totally different ballpark. The Everse 8 has a parametric EQ and could be adjusted to sound fantastic. On my birthday party they performed incredibly well for at least 8 hours and at some point they were pushed above 80% volume level. The battery level was about 70% by the end of the night. Apart from the S1 Pro system, I own a pair of SOUNDBOKS 3 but these are hands down my favourites of the bunch. Featherlight for the performance, they are very easy to throw around and feel solidly built. These will be my main go-to battery PA speakers at least until QSC finally come out with their own set. For everyone wondering if they're worth the premium (against Bose, JBL and a myriad of other cheaper options) I can simply say that I regret sometimes spending that much money on portable PA speakers while not giving a chance to the Everse 8. Yes, they're totally worth every single penny and if I ever sell my other portable PAs, I will definitely get a second pair of these babies. I haven't tested them in the rain yet so I can't confirm if the so called "weatherization" (there's no such word) is true.

The future is here said Marty to Dr. Brown)) Well I guess it is.. So, I bought one of EV Everse 8 just for my home rehearsal. But I never new it became so useful. I use it in many scenarios and It's solve many moments during weddings GIGs as stage monitor or background music during coctail hour or even make some outdoor activities if you need so.
The quality is awsome. Dynacord effects, long battery life, water proof sistem, portability, durability, phanthom power and offcourse great sound quality from EV that is what you'll never expect from such a small pice if gear. Also this little baby produces good lows although the 8' speaker.
There's only one disappointment - price. Taking into account all speaker advantages it's just can't be less. In the end of the day you get what you pay for.
