Like a dunken prom date.. lmao! Oh man ..." that singer guy" glad he wasn't sour ... always tell them, you didn't bring "singing mics " ... these mics are only for speeches. Lol.
Lol. Love your videos. Funny and informative. Good job on handling the Karaoke request. In run into stuff like that now and then, usually from kids or moms prompting their kids. Most recent situation was a veteran who wanted to sing a “patriotic “ song in the middle of a big out door Halloween Gig. The director of the group told him yes after I told him no and admitted she didn’t know what to do. I explained that it wasn’t the right time and place for this guy to drunkenly sing and slow the vibe down. But I would place a dedication out to all our troops later and found a time after some awards were presented and played Lee Greenwoods God bless the USA My go to with the Vet or anyone wanting to hook up and sing , or play guitar etc. ( unless preplanned ) is “I don’t have the proper set up for that here tonight”, referring to the Mics, speakers, or mixers. Keep up the great work.
That should've been a very stressed day for you, dealing with that guy, but I think you did the right thing when talking to the bride about it. A few days ago I was not really sure about which speaker to choose: The bose 1 or the Everse 8, so I ended buying the Everse 8 and NO REGRETS AT ALL. This tiny speaker has a lot of power for it's size, I'm planning to get a second one pretty soon. So if anybody reads this comment, believe me, I'm not exaggerating... I,ve had QSC's, JBL's, Cerwin Vega's, (bigger ones), but this little one can easily compete with those big brands. The best part for me is that when playing on battery mode (not plugged in to the wall) it still has that great, powerful and clean sound. Amazing speaker!! 🔊
I use the Everse 8 tray w/Phenyx PTU-71 to power the receiver to the EV…what a game changer im set up within minutes. Selling my Mackie Thump Go cause it doesn’t even come close to my EV. The Everse 8 has the most headroom in a battery powered system I’ve ever heard. Is it expensive yes! But i would buy another because it’s that amazing.
Can't imagine having the nerve to have an outdoor ceremony in the snow lol. Great video. I'm strongly considering upgrading from the JBL EON ONE Compact to the EV Everse 8 for battery powered gigs this year.
@@AaronStrawnOh I'm sure it's not going to be! Don't worry it happens to us too sometimes - luckily infrequently. We'll go set up to gig at a new place and somebody will walk up and say oh you guys are the karaoke guys tonight?? You know how it goes have to shut that down right away. Nothing against it but we're there to do 3-4 hours of live sound and you're there to DJ 😎
Dammit Aaron! You know how often I watch your videos and then buy something? Everse 8 arrives Saturday. The app and DSP are...wow...especially the ducking as I use two lavs...this should eleminate comb filtering. I didn't know it would do that. And compression and low cut presets. SOLD! Really looking forward to this and a much smaller and lighter ceremony rig.
Great vid. Interested to hear about the theater sounding lapel mic you referenced. I have run into issues with ceremonies and now thinking about a complete overhaul to the system I use by going with an everse-8 and a comparable mic system. I also checked out your DJ list and it's a great reference. Thanks for your vids man.
Way to handle yourself. Always stay cool. Everyone you interact with is a potential client. I see s many DJs on here who blow their top on guests, venue staff, etc. Not a good look. Also, Everse 8 is a near-perfect ceremony speaker. Just wish it had knobs for quick eq-ing. But the DSP is ok.
My daughter plays ukulele and sings. I play guitar and sing. I’ve been thinking about a battery powered pa for a long time. What are your thoughts with Everse vs Jbl eon one mkII? I’ll pay more of the Jbl is worth $400 more. I’d just like to have a great sounding portable setup for busking, looping and practice. Thanks. Great wedding story btw. Need more DJs like you.
@@AaronStrawn Yeah that’s tough. I would probably need more channels. My guitar, her ukulele and vocals for both of us (4 channels). If we want to play together, then I guess my only option is the JBL. Maybe I’ll get both and use the Everse as a monitor lol. Then if she needs to use a speaker for herself she can just take the Everse! Thanks for the speedy reply!!
MK2 is a huge step up if you are looking for full range sound! The 10 inch woofer sounds like a subwoofer in comparison. Mids also sound fuller. EV has a slightly cleaner high end. Mk2 has better room filling dispersion. JBL has a 7 year warranty! I would only go with EV for weight, size, and better App.
I was doing a strict Christian wedding when the sister of the bride requested a Bad Bunny song that was of course inappropriate. I refused to play it because I was not going to make one family member happy and piss off everyone else. I later pulled the bride aside and asked her what she wanted to do. She said I could play that type of music after she and the groom left. I know the money is in wedding’s but I just don’t like the extra pressure and personalities you have to deal with. Great video as always 👍
Between the Everse 8 and the JBL Eon MkII, What would you recommend for a comic that needs a backup for venues that are... less prepared than they thought?
@@AaronStrawn for about 5 minutes yes. Mine is a DSLR booth and took me a minute to realize one of the cables fell out but then it was back up and running.
For the guy who wanted to steal the show; I know what you're talking about and you were perfectly right to kick 'Mr. Spoil' away after asking the bride.
@@AaronStrawn I ended up purchasing the EV. At first it seemed weird to me compared to the Yorkville exm mobile 8. Then I found out there’s a parametric eq on the ev and wow. The only problem I have is that the mic channels are noisy.
Hi !! Are you based in Minnesota or Wisconsin ? I know that venue !! I had a wedding there last summer, very nice and brand new venue , too bad you got it during the winter it’s so pretty with the river flowing in the back
In the ceremony clip, how was the iPad routed to speaker? Bluetooth? Was there enough gain for the mic for the officiant? I generally run a small Mackie board so I can adjust gain/eq quickly
Hey Aaron. Great video as always. What shut up are you using for ceremony. I saw a part of it but I wanted to try to get the schematics. Looks really cool. Keep on keeping on!
Hey Aaron, great video! Quick question, what are the tray shelves you are using on the speaker stand? Any links? I am looking at the Audio2000'S AST423Z, but may be too big. Thank you!
I haven’t had a chance to test my Everse 8’s live. Wedding season is dead here, surprised you had an outdoor even further north! Glad it worked out for you.
Hey Aaron, cool video. I've found running a wireless mic with the speaker and receiver located behind guests at the ceremony, same as the start of the video, has caused me major crackling interference when everyone stands up with their phones out, has that ever been an issue for you ? Love your channel.
I've had that happen and I think I don't anymore for a couple reasons. I am using an expensive mic/receiver (I hope that's why lol) and Half Wave antennas. One other thing, always scan the space your are in. Could be other interfering signals around. Wireless is a gamble for sure, but I think there are ways to get it to sound great.
@@toneranger I’m using the new Sennheiser digital mics. I got a shelf for the speaker pole. Sits on that. Once the Everse tray is out in black I’m gonna get that
Nice one @Aaron , I'm using the DB tech hype battery powered speaker, not much well but the wireless mic inside is pretty sturdy, but the odd bit of interference though
At home, I can't even turn up the volume on the main remote control by half. It's too loud for a room of 28 m2. In this short video, I tested how the Allpowers S200 portable alternator works with the Everse 8 by removing the battery from the speaker ua-cam.com/video/xmT-PRQZI14/v-deo.html and I turned it on at full volume on the street, in three different places in the city, including the stadium and the city square. It is difficult to conduct such street tests alone, but it is interesting) ua-cam.com/video/HV2vtPn7UDM/v-deo.html 👍👍👍
@@AaronStrawn I see the young man is obsessed with money. I also see the man wants to go to an early grave by carting around dj furniture. Looks are great but fleeting, your health is more important now, save your back and knees. Ask og dj Mikey mike.
Like a dunken prom date.. lmao! Oh man ..." that singer guy" glad he wasn't sour ... always tell them, you didn't bring "singing mics " ... these mics are only for speeches. Lol.
That’s an amazing response, just watching them walk away like, I can’t believe that worked
@@AaronStrawn Most people know as little about audio gear as they do about cameras, so i'd say that has a high probability of working. :)
I love the Everse 8. The ability to power a mic receiver was huge for me.

I Love my EVERSE 8 Also. Thanks for Sharing.
So you’re telling me I can’t sing karaoke to the Bride?? I can come in on the 1st dance and kill it!😂
I really ruined this moment for them

It has been so solid for me as well. I love this speaker
Great job and advice about how to step in when a guest comes up to you like that!
Thanks!
Dude I can’t stop laughing at your sound effects for getting your photo booth dragged. What was the photographer thinking!?
I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. Her rocking it back and forth pulling the gaff tape. I almost lost it 😆
That was really helpful advice about running changes by the bride first.

I think the Everse wins right now. In sound and function. Now it only has 3 channels, so if you need more, I'd go with the JBL

That's true, it can get pretty complicated especially with drunk people wanting their way
Between the Everse 8 and the JBL Eon MkII, What would you recommend for a comic that needs a backup for venues that are... less prepared than they thought?
If you want a battery speaker, the Everse 8. You'll just need a tripod too. I love the way vocals sound in it
My Photo Booth fell over in the wind last gig. Fortunately it broke my umbrella and bent my light a little bit everything else was good.
Oh yikes...That woulda stressed me out a bit more lol
@@AaronStrawn for about 5 minutes yes. Mine is a DSLR booth and took me a minute to realize one of the cables fell out but then it was back up and running.

I think it was obvious I’m still mad about it 😂
For the guy who wanted to steal the show; I know what you're talking about and you were perfectly right to kick 'Mr. Spoil' away after asking the bride.
Been rocking my 30M
I may go ahead and make the jump 😬
Yeah you were. Mackie tops all
Lol
With the power cable you listed, do you still need an adapter on top of that or will that do the job alone for the Sennheiser?
Yes. I wish I knew what kind or size. I lucked out that I had one already
Hopefully it’s something good. I was just about to purchase the ev to replace my Yorkville but I’ll wait lol

@@AaronStrawn sidebar: I just purchased pro32. Will I regret?
@@chromemusic4401 nope. But, if you’re DJing take 2 sub 2s with one stick. I think that’s the perfect combo
So Everse over JBL Eon One MK2?? I just got my everse
Can’t say that yet, but I’m def going to give this one a fair try
@@AaronStrawn yeah, i just love that you don’t have to bring a speaker stand with eon one mk2. Might use this everse as monitor tho
What were you wrong about, exactly?
I think I dismissed the Everse too soon
Hi !! Are you based in Minnesota or Wisconsin ? I know that venue !! I had a wedding there last summer, very nice and brand new venue , too bad you got it during the winter it’s so pretty with the river flowing in the back
Minnesota. Awesome! Yeah, I play there all the time, and this is the first ever outdoor ceremony I've ever done
Its always a straight 'no' from me. I tell them that Karaoke nights are on a Thursday, nip it in the bud straight away.
In the ceremony clip, how was the iPad routed to speaker? Bluetooth? Was there enough gain for the mic for the officiant? I generally run a small Mackie board so I can adjust gain/eq quickly
Yeah, Bluetooth for the iPad. I had the gain at about 33 for the officiant. I believe the Everse goes to 40. Had some head room
Hey Aaron. Great video as always. What shut up are you using for ceremony. I saw a part of it but I wanted to try to get the schematics. Looks really cool. Keep on keeping on!
I’m going to do an updated video on this!
That night it was the Everse, iPad with DJay app, and sennheiser digital lapel with new lav mic
@@AaronStrawn Thanks so much for your help. I really appreciate your help and support. -djmike 🎤
@@AaronStrawn Do you normally use 1 speaker or 2 for a ceremony? Just wanted to be sure I have enough. 😂
@@TheRealDjMikeStone Just 1
There’s usb c to dc power cables.
That’s an idea I haven’t heard anyone mention yet.

He looked at me like I was nuts cause I never heard of them lol
The mic cable you posted fits both my Sennheiser G4 and Audia Technia Pro 10 receivers but does not fit into the Everse 8.
