the best rechargeable speaker out there by far
I’ve had the 12 for 5 days and it’s superb. The app is amazing 👍🏽
Battery Powered Sub would be Next level
This
I have a feeling that is in the near future. Don't you?
Yorkville already makes multiple different sized battery powered subs. Diamondbox made one in the past. I’m sure EV is working on something to compete.
SKAA has wireless Sub already. DFB. NAMM is gonna be crazy!
@@bboymac84 They do? Do you have a link?
Great review Joe! What a time to be a DJ!
you can surely say that. todays technology makes it so much easier to step back into the hobby. much more funner too!
Here we go!
This is crazy 😮 what a great speaker. I was wondering were they going to do a bigger one eventually…..here it is!
BOOM! Get you a couple!
My mind is blown haha love my Everse 8
Kaboom! 8 is killer, 12 is insanity.
Ordered mine!
Great news! Might be picking up one just to have!
You should! But don't sleep. I feel like they are going to sell out.
Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it
Good job,,,, you sold me!
Looks very nice, an awesome product. For my things is the EV8 the perfect fit.
Most of mine too, but I can see this coming in handy at some stuff in 2024 too!
Sweet!
Now that's cool!
Yup!
I was just thinking this week that EV needs to come out with a 12! I’m super happy with my 8 for the majority of events. But the 12 would be great if you do karaoke rentals or a sport event.
You're gonna love this!
I have been thinking since they did Everse8 lol.
Great :) next 12" battery subs!!!
We shall see
DAAAAAAAAAAYUM! Already moved to EV RE3 for all my mic. Looking like JBL and I may be parting ways soon.
JBL bye bye. EV Hello.
Интересно почему звуковой охват у Everse 12 сделали 100 x 60 градусов, меньше чем у Everse 8 угол 100 на 100 ? Из за большего динамика в 12 дюймов или по каким то другим причинам ?
Noice !!!
At 5:44, what mic receiver are you using? It appears to have dual outputs. What kind of mics are you using? Handheld, lavalier or 1 of each?
Sennheiser EWDX
I purchased a high end set of QSC K8's. I used them once and took them back to the store I purchased them from. How good can an 8 inch speaker be? Glad they made a 12 inch version.
Yeah, they're def. not for rocking parties. No matter who makes them.
Instantly bought 2x 12 when I found out they dropped...have the 8s and they are beasts!!
What is better for a street musician? two Everse 8s or one Everse 8 and one Everse 12? Everse 8 is already there, I bought it last fall. There used to be two JBL Eon One Compact. At a street game in different places, they alternated. Two to three days with one speaker, leaving the second one at home, two to three days with the other. Reduction of physical wear and tear. I sold them not so long ago. I was thinking of buying another Everse 8, but the Everse 12 appeared. And I wondered whether to buy it or 8? But since I have 8, does it make sense to take 12? What does this give, other than a slightly larger Spl of 126 dB? There is no place to compare personally. And they sound almost the same on UA-cam.
Everse 8 vs Jbl Eon One Compact sounds 2 times louder and richer. I compared it here. A short 1.5-minute story on the street. ua-cam.com/video/OMPkPStMgo4/v-deo.html I didn't expect this from the same size as JBL, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over me. Will there be any difference in the sound of Everse 12 compared to Everse 8?
@@georgchekinoff239 Just got my 12. Much fuller, Hifi full range sound, next level! Still testing...........
👀 I think I’m in love with
With me or the speaker?
@@DJJoeBunn don’t act like you don’t know
@aaronstrawn your wife is gonna leave you if you buy these 😂
@@ThatDJMike 🤐
I GOTTA have at least one!!!
Heard that.
Niceeeee
Ill wait for the white version but i cant wait to see if they make wireless 18 inch tops and subs id have a full set for ceremony and reception
would be so dope
I own EV’s and love the EV brand. The Everse speakers, 8’s or 12’s both have some great features. With that said, what’s the point of the rain resident covers. When you need them to be water resistant is when you’re already playing and they get caught in the rain. Will these covers fit over the power cord and speaker cords when they’re plugged in? Maybe I’m missing something.
Just a bonus add really for bluetooth streaming.
I have Everse 8. I compared the sound with my Jbl Eon One Comact and Roland Cube Street Ex. The relevant videos are on my channel. As a result, I sold two of my JBL speakers (2021 and 2022) and am thinking about buying another one! Again, Everse 8 or Everse 12, which alternate in the city. There are different squares everywhere. Where there is less, there is always 8, where there is more, there is always 12. Transportation on a 6-wheel trolley for bags. The Everse 12 is, of course, bigger and heavier. Is it worth buying Everse 12 or not. I can't decide, and there's no way to hear the difference in sound between them live.
Awesome speaker. Great tutorial! So, I should bypass the Everse 8 and go right to a 12?? Mostly outside ceremonies with less than 100 in attendance.
Stick with the 8.
@@MBrulla Agree!
The 8 will def cover that and not take up as much room in your ride.
I've had 2 of the Everse 8s and used them last season for all of my ceremonies. Mostly 100 or less. They are awesome. The everse12s would be suitable for 100 plus ceremonies IMO
@@DJCharlieBgcp Easily, as long as you don't need a bass kick during the recessional. Basic instrumentals/speech? No worries.
Which wireless receiver have you connected to the two microphone outputs here?
I don't think I had anything connected to it.
Is the audio output distributed to both speakers when you connect the microphone to one speaker and link the other speaker?I believe everse 8 do not have that functionality.Thanks!
I'll let the EV folks answer this one.
Yes - that can work but need to use XLR cable to connect them at that point. TWS only works with Bluetooth streaming, not hardwired inputs.
I had to purchase an Alto wireless transmitter/receiver to run mic output to the other everse8. Had to get a small battery pack to power that. Still all mounts to the tray. The other everse8 powers the alto receiver.
Very cool product! Anyone know if you could comfortably use a set of these in a wedding reception of up to 200 people?
I wouldn't
Looks awesome. Would love to see them make a white version.
You and me both!
If the demand for a white version proves to be high enough we will certainly add that at a later time ;)
This is insane
They killed it with this one!
How is the compression driver different than the 8's dome tweeter?
Compression drivers are inherently capable of much higher output, in the case of the EVERSE-12, this contributes to overall efficiency of the speaker and higher SPL
@@michaeldoucot3768 Thank you! That explains how they are getting 5db more max volume with the same amp.
waiting for them to sponsor me one, use my 8 at every event... cue all the djs promoting this speaker.
I hear ya! Maybe they will!
If I walk about 10 feet away with Bluetooth on my EV 8, it starts to mess up. Real bad. Even after updating and I’m using an iPad Pro M2.
Will the tray from the 8 fit the 12?
Def not.
Question we all need to know. What size party can these max out at. Can I comfortable to a party with 100-150 people with this and 2 subs or is it just for backyard shit or monitoring?
You can def play parties with them, maybe 100 folks medium to small room. With subs, more folks. But I wouldn't. I'd just get ELX200 for that scenario. These are if you need to be remote (beach, no power, etc)
i listened to both the everse 8 and 12 in person. The 12 isnt that much of a difference, but if you want to go all the way go for it. Otherwise im happy with my 8
I'm also happy with my Everse 8, I even created a whole playlist for my amateur videos. Everse 8 professional battery-powered speaker system (home and outdoor tests, sound comparison): ua-cam.com/play/PLbj7PzWDzGJX8d-fvcsuldKeyUDtbiFrV.html
По громкости между Everse 8 и Everse 12 будет такая разница или нет ? Как в этом коротком минутном сюжете двух кратная разница в пользу Everse 8 в сравнении с JBL Eon One Compact ? ua-cam.com/video/OMPkPStMgo4/v-deo.html
How do they get it down to 31lb?
The battery adds some weight. Most 12” speakers come in around 40lb without a battery. Where are they shedding the weight?
I am not an engineer, just a DJ
We fill the speaker with helium before shipping ;)
@@michaeldoucot3768 it seemed like a good idea until all the vocals came out sounding like Alvin and the Chipmunks.
great speaker but EV engineers need to add more channels and volume controls and effects, something like the controls of the mackie showbox that will be awesome !
If you’re really wanting to use these speakers but need more inputs your can pick up externals mixers really cheap. If using them without power cables is important there are some better powered ones but I’m not sure how God they are. :)
Agree that this is a bit bare for being at the top end for battery PAs though
very difficult to find a nice battery powered mixer with all the needed features like phantom power xlr inputs etc.
Do you think an Everse 12 would sound significantly worse than a QSC k.12.2? ... I want a speaker with a battery and I'm torn between buying an everse 8 for around town or selling my k.12.2 to buy everse 12 (instead of having 2 speakers)... around town would be acoustic guitar and vocals, but my use case for k.12 at home is a power amp for my electric guitar modelers and also playing practice tracks... would I miss the QSC at home if I went with one everse 12 speaker for everything?
I don't think that I'm qualified to answer this one.
@@DJJoeBunn thanks for the honesty man… I’ve done enough research now that I’m thinking the EV12 wouldn’t be a replacement for what my QSCk.12 does just because of volume. Maybe I’ll test it someday but for now I’ll probably buy an EV8 and keep my K12.2 and not try to cover both use cases with one speaker. Thanks!
@@BillySoundFarm solid decision
How would this compare to EV ZLX 12 inch speakers? I would hope similar in output and quality sound.
I'll let EV guys answer this one
Both EVERSE 12 and ZLX-12BT are rated at 126db MAX SPL
@michaeldoucot3768 I rarely use my ZLX 15 inch since I got my EKX 15 but the battery function in a true DJ speaker sounds good. Currently I use ADJ 12s or soundboxs for battery powered speakers
Did the power output get stronger to power>> cordless mic receiver shure ULXD4 at 15V 0.6A😮
No clue, I'll let EV guys answer this one.
DC voltage output is the same at EVERSE 8 - 12V / 500mA
can you link the 8 with the 12?
I'm going to get my EV folks to answer this one. Not sure.
Yes - TWS will work between an 8 and 12 version. Additionally, both can be controlled via EV Quicksmart app simultaneously!
Hey Joe, great intro video. What's the Max SPL for the Everse 12?
I might let my EV folks answer that one. Or it might be on the site.
EV says 126dB for Everse 12.
Everse 8 spec is 121dB.
@@NukePooch1 Thanks! I appreciate it!
Of course it’s the most important thing (the max SPL output) but he decided to dodge that bullet and not even mention it and leave it out from his talk probably ‘cause he knows DJs might not like that part and that it is super important basically the main thing we need to know coming out of a speaker being that the sound pressure level so we know how loud it goes and how much room it could cover (which it wouldn’t be a good selling point and it would ruin the hype)… I’m sure it’s not going to give that much, enough SLP for a party of even 100 - 200 - 400 people by just having 2 (a pair) and we are going to have to buy 4 of them to reach that good SLP for those kind of events which at that point might as well just bring out TWO of my Art 932s 12”s RCFs …or JBLs Or Yorkville or Das, FBT, etc and deal with power and xlr cables BUT, not miss or compromise on any sound quality or volume coverage… I also own EV ELX200-12P a pair with EV ELX200-12S (12” subwoofers) and they’re dope at a good SPL and way better than the ZLX model which I also owned in the past before the ELX200s and even though they’re better they still have that booming sound on the woofer (the tops im talking about now) not the the woofers… they’ve got this booming sound after playing for a couple of hours without distortion though but I think EV suffers from that booming sound on the woofer and enclosure after playing at a high volume for a couple of hours like after 2 or 3 it starts I think… so the ZLX specially had that too… so I don’t know but I hope these new 12 not only don’t come with that booming sound but also can cover much of the room in sound with that SPL they have? Which he avoided talking about here.

How will the weather proof cover work when you plug a mic in ?
It won't.
@@DJJoeBunn any answer or is it a flaw Joe ?
@@raybrophy1297 When you take off the cover, it's no longer waterproof. The cover is for if you are using it as a bluetooth speaker.
@@bunndjco Thank you
What's the possiblity of connecting the two as stereo set up for a dj?
Pretty sure you have to run a cable for it.
@DJJoeBunn They say it has a Bluetooth transmitter built in for wireless connections. Also I have a 12V dj console that needs 1A...was thinking of making a cable connecting two in parallel to maintain the voltage and increase the amps...can anyone shine some light at it? i
@@bioversion6983 Way above my paygrade. Reach out to ben@nlfxpro.com for tech stuff.
How are they compared to the Evolve 50’s
Totally different animal. I wouldn't even compare these to those.
Amazing product by EV. How about comparing them against other big name speakers that are powered. Maybe QSC K series, other EV ZLX series. Give them a side by side, and see how they do live. Bar Gigs I'm thinking would be nice,w/ a sub. Like your work and videos Joe. You Rock!!!!
LOL, you do realized people don't just send me stuff right?
I compared ZLX Gen2 and Everse12... I bought everse because it's better, for my needs (acoustic guitar and mic). More details comming out of everse
@@aleksandarmarkovic4913similar volume power?
@@ZackPomerleau i didnt run them to peak power, so i dont know the max SPL
31 lbs is crazy, that's so light for a 12!
Even in all the pics I took, I was one-handing it.
@@DJJoeBunn That's 31 lbs with a battery in it too.
db? n watts?
I'll let me EV folks answer that.
They need to make a battery Evolve 30M next.
That would be kinda cool for one man band kinda things.
@@DJJoeBunnI’m considering getting one of these and I do a one man band. My everse 8 covers 80 percent of my gigs comfortably and a bit more at max. My evolve 50M is a pain to bring out. This might make things a bit easier.
@@ZackPomerleau I think the whole point of them making this bigger one was so you could actually do shows (vs. like really small stuff with the 8)
@@DJJoeBunn makes sense. I just tried one in store and compared to my 8. I’m thinking of buying it for real world experience. I say this because I felt I couldn’t achieve a really meaningful volume difference. My only thought process was that the 12 disperses better so it doesn’t seem as loud, where the 8 blasts to get the same volume. Otherwise, I felt it was limiting a guitar pretty quickly.
@@ZackPomerleau The 12" - actually +5db (126 vs 121) so there should be a noticeable difference. You may not have perceived it that way, but it is certainly an upgrade in output. In the end, if the 8" works for you no reason to make a switch ;)
Whats the likelihood of White @DJJoeBunn? Amazing video and super excited to hear these!!!
Eventually I think so, but I don't work there.
Haha that's fair enough, fingers crossed your prediction is correct:)
cough , cough, do the new Mackie Speaker next or side by side comparison :)
If Mackie sends it, I'll do it.
I will never understand why people lift speaker stands with the speakers on them. You get the stand up to height then put the speaker on top
Or use the hydraulic ones.
I was unimpressed by the EV8 hoping the 12 sounds better
It slaps.
This or the soundboks 4? Both at $1000
never heard of those.
I was looking into a used Everse8 for the smaller size, but this Reminds me of my $200 American audio BT speaker with the upgraded $40 lithium ion battery.. 😅
Comparing EV to whatever American Audio is is offensive. lol
Everse 8 is awesome. I’m assuming the 12 has the same features - what sets the Everse apart is that it’s purpose built for public announcement. The FX, ducking, and feedback suppression are excellent. The power supply for mic receivers and power output for iPads is clutch.
They do come in white
not yet.
I want to hear the Mackie 12 go. The go series has been good
No way they touch EV.
@@DJJoeBunn True. But you can get 2 Thump Go's for the price of 1 Everse. So sound performance is there. But 1 Everse vs 1 Thump Go, definitely Everse wins.
Ordered one today at Zzounds "blemished" for $869. I can never pay full price-it's a sickness.......
Hello! How much and how will the sound of Everse 12 differ from Everse 8? Like for example in this short 1.5 minute excerpt ua-cam.com/video/OMPkPStMgo4/v-deo.html JBL Eon One Compact is much inferior to Everse 8 in volume, but at the same time, the drums and percussion of JBL Eon One Compact sound more clearly in this recording, they are not lost against the background of other instruments
I'd recommend that you go and listen for yourself in person. I am sure you will find the EVERSE12 to be better than the EON One Compact in every way. Can't really trust You Tube as a reliable method for listening.
Greetings! I am solving this dilemma now. I have Everse 8. I compared the volume on the street with my Jbl Eon One Comact, the corresponding videos are on my channel. JBL Eon One Compact vs Everse 8. I was very shocked by the sound pressure of the Everse 8. As a result, I sold two of my JBL speakers (2021 and 2022) and am thinking about buying another one! Again, Everse 8 or Everse 12, which I plan to use in the city alternately at street performances. I play rock music: lead guitar with backing tracks and vocals. I used to do the same with Jbl Eon One Comact. Two or three days later, they switched between each other, reducing the physical wear of each speaker. But there is another space everywhere. Now, where there is less, I think that Everse 8 is better, where there is more, Everse 12 is better. Transportation on a 6-wheeled Italian Gimi "Tris New" trolley. On UA-cam, who is interested in what kind of cart it is, there is a video with this name. Type Gimi "Tris New" and you will see. The Everse 12 is of course bigger and heavier, but it can also be placed in this 6-wheel cart. Whether to buy it or not, I cannot decide, and there is no way to hear the difference in sound between them live. What do you say? If we compare the sound live, are there any differences between Everse 12 and Everse 8? It's unclear on UA-cam. It feels like they sound almost the same. Then what's the point of a 12-inch speaker?
I was recently commented on in this video of mine ua-cam.com/video/o5fpek8cwFc/v-deo.html It says there. Buy yourself an Everse 12. That's what I said. Everything in detail- thank you! I know about Evers 12, it appeared in January 2024. But, unfortunately, I am not satisfied with this. Almost twice as tall and heavier. I have a chariot of muses. In this minute-long video from the Kremlin Embankment in Kazan ua-cam.com/video/9ldatblxp8o/v-deo.html the car is visible. And it's a little noticeable in the video from the stadium at the beginning of the test. All over the city, in the subway, on the roads, on sidewalks, on stairs, and then with all the ammunition that I use in a street game, up to 17 kg comes out. and the Everse 12 itself weighs more than 14 kg. Music events are sometimes held in the city, there is a storage space, you can arrange to leave it there, and then large speakers will not be a problem. I'm on my own, and I don't have that kind of storage space. It's safer at home. From home to the city for street performances and evenings and back home with all this burden on yourself. There is also no desire to constantly spend money on taxis. If Evers 10 comes out, it would be tempting to consider such a model. Evers 12 is suitable not only in size and weight. I've heard comparisons on UA-cam. Good sound. But the Evers 8 is also not bad in its small-sized category. For a lonely street musician using public transport, this is what you need. Initially, everything for transportation was compactly assembled by me under the Jbl Eon One Compact. I didn't know about the Everse 8 at the time, fortunately the size is the same, so I bought it. Thank you for your attention 👍
For that price I can get 3 mackie's
But they're not good lol.
@@DJJoeBunn there are good enough for what I need
@@DJJoeBunn What about the new one Mackie ShowBox ?
No clue what that is@@georgchekinoff239
The new portable speaker system from Mackie. It was released in January 2024. ua-cam.com/video/dY51MZp55kc/v-deo.htmlsi=u0om5aX3VhllxcZi only the dear one. 799 dollars. I do not know how it sounds. I also have Everse 8. Here I compare it on UA-cam with others. As far as I understand, Everse 8 and 12 are best suited for solo performances. But the Everse 12 still also lost its mobility due to its large size and greater weight than the Everse 8. The weight feels good - 7.6 kg vs 14.1 kg 💪 you can simultaneously swing your biceps)
Cool but well over price for speaker lol
Not really.
Only 400 watts peak power and 126 spl
On a battery...
Disappointed….. need a new evolve
Soooon
The tray is awful. I just use some Velcro on top of the speaker.
You sure you are using it right? The tray rules.
@@DJJoeBunn I just don’t have the patience I guess to screw those little screws in and out. Wish you could just keep it on and keep it stored like that
@@rjpimprov On the 8? You can. Mine stays on there all the time. Hmmm, wondering if you have the divider for the bag laying on the bottom of the bag?
@@DJJoeBunn hmmm. I’ll have to retry that. I have both the ev bag and the jbl bag. Jbl bag is a little more protective (harder shell)
@@DJJoeBunn Ok..it fits great. LOL! I'm still using the JBL eon one compact bag though....i like it's protection a little more. Thanks for talking some sense into me!
Kinda over kill what’s the point of this?
It is overkill - unless of course you want a speaker capable of getting much louder that plays lower in frequency or runs longer on battery - you know, what professionals want.
The point is advancement in battery powered technology.
Many times DJs get to a venue or the event wants you setup outside or something with no power. With two of these and a jackery unit, you could throw a party anywhere and sound good.
If it doesn’t fit your needs, that’s okay, but 5 years from now when everyone has full battery speaker setups, it will be because of Electro Voice pushing that envelope.
LOL, I love when folks write my answers for me! Nailed it!
LOVE THIS!
It’s for people who want to rock a party with out have to run power
Do you know yhe model and name if the speaker stands please?
They are made by Gator. It's their hydraulic stand. I'm sure it's on their site.
