New Mini PA Day!! EV Everse 8
I'm one of those weird people that likes all of their sound equipment to match as much as possible mainly for consistency. After having intermittent issues with my Bose L1 Pro8, I switched to an EV Evolve 30m and was very impressed with it after two shows. So next it was time to send my trusty S1 Pro to a new home and get an EV Everse 8. I brought the new Everse 8 home yesterday and I am very impressed with it so far. One thing that was really cool was as soon as I connected it to my phone via Bluetooth it automatically updated the firmware. After having to borrow my daughter's laptop to update the firmware on my L1 Pro8, this was a great improvement! I didn't have time to do much testing yesterday, but did stream some Pandora from my phone and it sounded great. And dang it's loud too! I'll have some time this week to hook up a microphone and guitar and work out my settings before I use it for a gig Sunday, but I can already tell I'm going to be very happy with this speaker.
Here's the proof it happened.

Love mine! I also have both the 30M and the Everse 8. They both cover all my gigs from 25 to 100 people. Wish they would make a Everse 10.

Congrats Mick. I love my Everse 8. Been gigging it since last July.
I did have an issue with high frequency digital distortion in the tweeter. Sent it back to EV with no problems, (I had to use another system for my gigs that week) They sent it back in a week. However, the problem wasn't fixed. So I sent it back again and EV sent me a new one. They were very helpful along the way. Look forward to your gig report.

This seems like an excellent speaker. I just posted about my good experience with the Bose S1Pro+ in a pinch yesterday. It occured to me that I already have a mixer! Rodecaster Pro II that I use for streaming. When I need extra inputs I can take that and I have a live music scene setup.
Why am I telling you this? Because I tried the Everse 8 out at G.C. and I think it sounds better than the Bose S1Pro+. I am tempted to get two of them for use with the Rodecaster. I think it makes sense for most to consolidate around one brand and one mixer interface app. It gets confusing with a lot of different interfaces. Enjoy!

Yes I know about the 12. I just want a 10" as an added speaker to my 30M for rooms that need more sound in a different direction.

My main issue with the EV app is that I lose the bluetooth connection a lot. I don't know why that is, but it happens a lot. Luckily everything just stays as is and you can continue on, but it's a bit of a pain to have to reconnect multiple times during a gig.

That's odd. I haven't experienced any issues with the EV app disconnecting during a gig. The Bose app always had to be reconnected anytime I opened it during a gig. Saturday night I just left my phone open on the mixer app for the whole gig. I was curious because I thought it might kill my phone battery, but it didn't go down much at all.

But I play almost exclusively in suburban environments. Some can be very busy but if I were in Manhattan or something, I wonder if it'd be more difficult. I guess reliability of connections can also depend on the phone--and probably not just the quality of the phone, but multiple variations of Android, if that's what you're using, can be a gamble. |

Love my Everse 8 - bought the new ZLX 8P G2 and some EV stands to supplement larger gigs instead of the 30m due to not needing the subwoofer. Very happy and for the price cannot beat the Everse8/8” ZLX G2 modular setup!

But even before I tried streaming for break music, my Quicksmart app was virtually always rock-solid. I would then, and do now, just pair that through the app and all is well. But now I only launch Quicksmart after pairing 7/8 with my phone the old-fashioned way, via the phone's pairing function (only way to pair streaming far as I know). When I tried launching Quicksmart first, streaming was rickety if at all. So dang, I'd be very frustrated if I had to reconnect the app all the time. I adjust things not only between songs but during them! |
