    Why are they not specifying the max SPL on this thing anywhere ? How am I supposed to know how loud it can get ? It almost seems like they're hiding it cause it's a standard spec that's always specified on speakers like these.

    1:45 I think you’ve misunderstood the spec sheet. The Bluetooth is 5.1 but SonicLink is based off 2.4GHz. You can get a wireless XLR system based off this frequency for £85 (the t.bone free2b from Thomann). I’m baffled why this feature is getting so much press. The UHF frequency is much less cluttered (Think about it, Wi-Fi runs on 2.4GHz) and offers low latency. Get yourself the Soundboks with a UHF wireless system 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Cool features and everything but I don’t think it all adds up to more than double the price of a Thump Go.
    Also I think wheels on an 8” speaker is kinda weird, unless the battery in it is much larger than the Mackie has and is like 10lbs heavier.

    Its like 28 lbs, so it should be better than most of the battery speakers and that's why it has a handle and wheels. Another note the wireless part unfortunately runs on the 2.4Ghz frequency.(like Bluetooth)

  • @djpeacepiano

    Having trouble with the bluetooth on the wave eight. it links to one and not the other one unless I turn the first one off and back on. Also, after awhile, the bluetooth on one speaker syops working even though the light is still on. Then I have to fool around with them to get them both working together via bluetooth again...wtf????

  • @warfarematador30
    @warfarematador30 6 місяців тому

    The biggest question I wanted answered, and this points to PRICE POINT. “IS THERE A DELAY IN THE SOUND WHEN DJing, OR NOT? Do they sound the same or about the same as HARD WIRING IT??? Compared to the Bluetooth connectivity, which we know already about Bluetooth and its issues. Because if there is NO DELAY, or very close to it, then I would say it JUSTIFIES the PRICE INCREASE!!!

    Just saw a deal here for the wave 8 at 750 euros so getting more into my price range..
    Torn between this and the Ev everse 8..
    Will be mainly used for techno/house/psytrance bit of reggae etc.. the alpha theta wave eight specs mention the frequency response to be 20Hz-20khz this is awesome how true is it...??
    The everse 8 goes down to 50Hz
    Any thoughts?

    I can definitely hear the difference between the two. The Wave Eight is much better. I had the Thump Go a couple years ago, but returned it. It sounded so shitty to me. I like the Everse 8 the best for the size. Sounds great and looks professional. This Wave Eight isn’t the best looking and the light in the front is tacky. I’m not sure if you can turn it off. The wireless feature is dope though. I’m sure down the road they’ll also come out with 12” and 15” options for bigger parties.

    Pretty pricy for lack of power,I used diamondboxx pa15 for a few and did pretty solid performance .
    Also bought the diamondboxx sub15" subs but didn't like bass, it was lacking tight bass . I think I went through about 20 pairs in my dj span and some of the cheaper ones (passive) blew all the powered ones away.
    Any way thanks for the video you did a great job.

      I don’t get the excitement. The newer Bose S1 Pro has that too but wasn’t big enough to beat the Everse 8. This is still a 2.4ghz system so I’d have a hard time fully trusting it.

    • @cduemig1
      @cduemig1 10 місяців тому

      I do like the idea of built in though. It’s a bit clunky with the receiver on top of the speaker. I’ve seen a few people say it works in 5Ghz but all the documentation on their website shows 2.4ghz. 5Ghz wouldn’t excite me either as the lower frequencies tend to travel better especially through walls.

The wireless connectivity looks Lame just the fact that its Battery operated or Rechargable along with all the other components its a BIG no for me. in all honesty it would get more views if it was a GEMINI product., But it's coming from a well stablished far more advanced Product Maker. and over priced AF. Mattel or Play-Doh would not mind putting it on its Shelves. MPO Thanks.
