The First-ever Battery-powered PA from Electro-Voice!

Good things take time — including speakers! That’s why Electro-Voice put years of thoughtful research into the Everse 8, their first-ever battery-powered PA. The Everse 8 offers a host of travel-friendly features, including 12-hour battery life, Bluetooth streaming, QuickSmart Mobile control, and more. All this is paired with top-tier components like a Dynacord high-efficiency Class-D amplifier and a DSP module, as well as an 8-inch woofer and a high-output titanium tweeter. The Everse 8 maximizes its great components with a suite of powerful mixing tools onboard; there’s a 4-channel digital mixer, studio-quality effects and processing, feedback suppression, and 48-volt phantom power for microphones. All that and more is housed in a rugged but elegant polypropylene shell that’s weatherized for water resistance to splashes and rain. This speaker is an amazing pick for musicians, DJs, event hosts, buskers, and more! You get a little bit of everything, all with exceptional sound quality, when you choose the Everse 8 from Sweetwater!

Flexible features at a great price

The Everse 8 excels at practically every possible application we’ve thrown at it. The speaker itself can be setup multiple different ways. Mount it on a tripod for the ultimate long throw at sporting events or outdoor gatherings; turn it into a stage wedge monitor using the 55° angle; or turn it upright with a 30° kick-back angle that projects upward and out. And with up to 12 hours of battery life per charge, the Everse 8 is ready for events that last all day or all night.

Microphone ready

What’s more, the Everse 8 pairs extremely well with wireless and wired microphone systems. The speaker features 48-volt phantom power output and a 12-volt DC port for powering wireless mic systems straight from the Everse 8 battery. Additionally, the Everse 8 accessory tray (sold separately) easily mounts to the top of the speaker for neatly organizing receivers and other wireless gear.

Mobile controls

The Everse 8 offers straightforward Bluetooth streaming with additional control options via the QuickSmart Mobile app. The QuickSmart Mobile app gives users simplified, streamlined control of audio, effects, and mix functions via a mobile smart device. Essentially, you can control all of the speaker’s audio features from afar — a must-have feature for busy hosts and dedicated sound technicians alike! If you find yourself wanting even more power than what comes stock, Everse 8 speakers can also be used in true stereo via Bluetooth.

Top-notch EV and Dynacord components

Each component on the Everse 8 adheres to rigorous Electro-Verse standards of quality and performance. It’s the same exceptional look, feel, and sound we expect from EV microphones and speakers, but streamlined for portable and outdoor use. Regarding hardware, the Everse 8’s 8-inch woofer features patented Electro-Voice SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers) port design that yields big sound even from a compact speaker enclosure. Paired with that is a deluxe titanium tweeter mounted onto a custom constant-directivity waveguide for high, consistent output. What’s more, the Everse 8 borrows several coveted components from EV sister brand Dynacord, including a Class-D amplifier and a top-notch DSP sound module. Inside and out, this is one speaker that settles for nothing but the best.

Well this is it

So I am a super percussive acoustic performer, and play electric and sing in a band. I own 2 EV elx200 12s, a elx200 18, and 12 all powered.and notoriously brought at least a 12 and a sub to solo acoustic shows. I HATE the "Sub and Stick" set up... "line array" and I tried them all it's like if a smile face eq became a speaker.... no soul, no umph... and still some assembly required. This thing... this tiny 17 lb speaker, I've played 10 shows solo with just it and the app mixer, and used it 3 times as my monitor in the band. I'm thrilled and havnt even scratched the surface. Will it do it all, well probably not. But it will blow up all the sub/stick set ups, and the mixer is intuitive, Bluetooth has great range. And I just ordered a 2nd... I'm not bringing my old heavy 12s (not EVs) to a band show again as a monitor. I'm very very stoked.

Huge upgrade from my Roland Cube

Plenty of headroom for playing guitar and singing my loud 90's rock songs with backing tracks. Also use it for drum monitoring and band practice through a 10-channel mixer with a sub. The mobile app and the ability to configure the speaker remotely is the biggest selling point of this speaker, other than it being able to run on batteries. I can tweak speaker volume and other settings while sitting behind my drum kit or while I'm behind the microphone during a live solo performance. I use it alongside a subwoofer in my home studio, so it pairs really well with that, but does have some decent low end on its own as well that is good for small busking gigs. My most favorite feature of the app is being able to store and recall custom speaker settings. I have 1 preset for when I'm using it for solo gigs in "mixer" mode, and another preset for when I'm using it for band practice in "basic" mode. I also stored a separate preset for a friend of mine who performed with an acoustic guitar and needed different settings than I needed. Very sturdy, high quality construction and the handle on top is very nice. I also just love how light and compact it is too and that it also works without the battery inserted when plugged into AC power.

Buy it. Here’s my story.

I am in wheelchair and I sing on the streets in Nashville. I have now sung over 2,000 songs through it. Had the Bose first. Not even comparable anymore, and Bose has no digital control. I have the Everse mounted on my wheelchair. I go to court on 5/24 for singing too loud. So that says it all.

Super Excellent- Ricky DJ 100% Recommended

It has a power and sound quality that exceeds my expectations. I recommend this speaker 100%. I have QSC and RCF speakers and this one is a beast for being so small. I take it with me everywhere and I can form a party for 100 people with just one.
