💡My Battery Powered Ceremony Rig (Works great with the Mackie thump Go)
ua-cam.com/video/itfpgGx08vU/v-deo.html
I'm using the Everse 8. I use it most often as a booth monitor for mobile events. The bass is soooo good on the Everse8. I also plan to use it for wedding receptions and speeches with the Sennheiser Wireless Digital Dual Mic System.
I have had them all: Mackie Thump Go, Bose S1 Pro (Original), Yorkville EXM 8 and now the Ev Everse 8. The Everse 8
Is so much louder and d/c powers my Sennheiser dual lav receiver. Thump Go was great at the price point and size but for my ceremonies I felt like I needed (2) to do the job and still had to bring a small jackery for the mics.
I found a mic that works great with all speakers that are wireless! No power needed
@@djroyal414link pls 🙏🏼?
Same
@@djroyal414 link? very interested in having something like that.
@@DjPositiveP ua-cam.com/video/nBJrxWGHcwM/v-deo.html
Nice review.... but you should look at the EV Everse 8. You can literally power a wireless mic off the speaker with its on board dc out power. A true wireless system for a ceremony.
100% plus I love the app for the EV Everse 8. It’s basically having a mixer on your iPad. A Everse 8 speaker, iPad, and a microphone receiver on top and that’s all you need!
Not only 12volt port, but feedback suppression, speaker delay, digital DSP
See my current setup. Its all about being versatile. Having mics in racks allows us to use them for ceremony, reception, or production.
The everse 8 is £350 more than the mackie thump go
@kailumgg7736 yes and much better
You was right it was $350 brought my second one and it’s now $449.95 Very great speakers for Ceremony and Cocktail hours. It wonderful for outdoor too using the outdoor mode on the back.
Owning a pair of these and can only second to that review! Using them also on my terrace at home and at weddings! Also, after the cocktail hour, I usually take one and put it as my DJ monitor later on :)
What abt the bass? Does it rumbles?
Great one Rick! I went from the Bose S1 to the Everse 8. I’m pretty happy with it.
I have two of them in my home and they are great. And it’s connected to my Mackie mixing board it’s elite.
Hola, cuánto dura la batería a full volumen, gracias.
As usual Great review.. I have a pair of these and matched them with the prime go and i do not have any complaints. these things hold battery life good and also the prime go holds a good battery life. and yes you have to still power mics with an additional battery like stated below i just built a 4u rack and put the mics and battery in the rack works pretty well for me.
Hey Rick, I am buying two Mackie Thump Go’s to get back into smaller gigs because of THIS video. I can buy two Mackie Thump Go’s for almost the same price as a single EV Everse 8 or Yamaha Stagepas 200bt.
I have a pair of these, small jackery to power my mics and the xvive. Love them for ceremonies. I also use them to tailgate in Cleveland and they are more than loud enough
#squad couldn’t agree with this review more, I am on a low budget- I got one of these at the beginning of the summer and just got another one because prime day had them on sale. Would not skip on these speakers, one of my best purchases possibly ever
I'll be using at as a vocal monitor and to fill out a bar a bit over the speakers that are mounted over head😊
Wow! Cheap but very long battery life ❤
I gonna buy that as well
Great Advice! We rock the Bose S1's in the same way!
Rick, thanks for the review. You always deliver the goods. I just bought one of these with a padded case on sale on Black Friday, very excited to use this one in my arsenal. Thanks bro, for keeping it real! 🤙🏻
Great video! I have 2 of them and they are amazing. I have been playing them today with a Bose Sub1. They are definitely the best bang for the buck!
Loved the video man, thanks! Im looking to buy it and this review really helped man! Greets from the Netherlands bro😉
Was literally looking into this for my ceremony set up since i rock mackies entirely
I own this for 5 months now, well priced i use for cocktail and ceremony , i plug in a xvive in back for my wireless mic and. Bluetooh music on laptop or ipad. I have 1 extra batteries as back up. Priced way lower than bose or ev.
That fring is awesome!
Ok on ev 8 it should be better given it cost about double one of these I’ll take two of these vs 1 ev 8. Don’t get me wrong the ev 8 is dope but for pricing and coverage I’m sticking with my 2 thump gos.
I bought 4 of these about a year ago and 4 spare batteries, I have never used the spare batteries and they have never come off the green in at least 5-6 hrs and are rugged , after over 75 events for Karaoke, DJ,Back Music fantastic, these do have adequate thump but you must eq your computer to beef the bass more, they do have it, if you run a flat line eq you won't get that extra, I will say to get adequate volume in the number one channel you must use a quality shure wireless, or a small mixer, I use a small Yamaha mixer with a 12 volt power pak, the bluetooth is rock solid both in linking and pairing, I have over 50 years in music and these are ny go to, for large events these will be loud but not the thump you need
This or the jbl partybox 310?
Great video man! I love that you compared it to the LD, since that’s one of the speakers Mobile DJs compare it to. Might not be a fair fight but it’s great to see how it holds up and consider whether it’s worth the price.
Great Video (Thanks for all the Great information)👍👍👍
Excellent review
Great video! You know what would be cool is if you could use the battery to power other items like a wireless mic receiver. That would truly make your setup completely wireless and and BEAST!
I have a pair ($339 ea). Best bang for the buck!!
How much better would this speaker be compared to an ultimate ears hyperboom .?
#SQUAD great review! I just picked up a thump go last week for a ceremony speaker, for the price point and what it’s capable of I love that little thing I can’t wait to try it out at my next event and plus it matches my SRTs
I want it for the same purpose. You found it loud enough to play background music and for an officiant to speak to 75-150 people outdoors thru a mic? Without a mixer?
Yes works well. Over 100 consider 2 if the layout is weird
The tweeter is on the bottom of the mackies thump go so you can push the mackie thump go higher on the stand and it helps throw the sound out a little better.
Why did you go with the Mackie over the EV everse 8?
Rick, great review as usual. I have been impressed with Mackie’s new line of equipment. I believe the Mackie SRM 212 V series I’ll be my choice to upgrade from my current EV ZLX-15s. I am still debating on what subs to chose. Being a Cerwin Vega and JBL legacy fan, I had to open my Interest to the the other quality sound equipment Mfrs.
I went to my local Guitar Center to preview the SRM V series but they didn’t have them at the time. I like the low weight, clear sound, not harsh like I find with the EV ZLX. I will keep the ZLX speakers as they have been good speakers and done very well for the entry level price point.
DMX lighting upgrades and control are in the future too. I plan to contact you to purchase up lighting soon.
Thanks Russell Guthrie

Good information sir with the Mackie portable 8 can I run a keyboard line into speakers wireless handheld mic Thank you 😊
Thank you Rick, this settles it for me man. Thanks.
My only regret with this speaker is that I didn’t buy two of them. They are perfect for very quick gigs on the fly.
Thx for another great vid. #squad
Rick! Question? If you link a second speaker and the mic is plugged into the first speaker, will the mic signal come out the second speaker??
I think so
No one seems to explain the sync function on these speakers. I have two 10 inch and cannot figure out how to get audio to the 2nd speaker without daisy chaining them
Not sure the long gevity of these speakers I had a JBL irx 112bt and also the Mackie 12" bt which sounded blown and the music mode button didn't seem to change the sound as you mentioned. My concern would be replacement of the amplifier plate many companies back ordered due to bad solder joints.
Its so tiny and cheap if it blows in a year I would just buy another
Thanks the video! Can you have a mic and guitar plugged in channel abd 2, while playing a track over bluetooth? I could do it with the mackie freeplay
Great all in one speaker but really needs an USB power out for charging music devices or powering a 5v mini Wi-Fi streamer. Better still, fit a built in Wi-Fi streamer like many active Hifi speakers these days! Streaming bluetooth is fine at events, but you then have to keep the device with the music on it near the speaker. If you’re juggling many systems in several rooms or outside spaces at a large venue you then have the extra hassle of keeping them charged. Controlling multiple systems streaming hi-res music via Wi-Fi, all on the same network with one device would be awesome and without a great deal of extra expense. Anyway, great review. 👍🙏
Agree on the usb.even my portable fridge console has one in the car.
Would it be okay for a near-field speaker like in front of me while I'm mixing or are they too loud for near field? I mean like really close
Great Video. 😃👍♥️
Thanks for the informative videos Rick! I watch and learn a lot from many of them. The both up lights and 360 lights are awesome! But you missed the mark on labeling these as the "Best battery Speaker 2023". The EV Everse 8 literally "THUMPS" these Mackies. In their defence for half the price of the Everse they definately fill a avoid for the beginner DJ or someone thats on a tight budget.
The everse is nuce but for our two microphobe setup it doesnt give us any benefit. Makes our setup harder
My Everse 8 blows my Thump Go out of the water. The Mackie is just not loud enough for a ceremony without a ext mixer. The EV doesn’t even need a mixer the headroom is 2x as more than the Mackie. I am looking to sell my Mackie Thump Go…it’s just not powerful enough. The EV blew me away. There’s a reason why it costs so much cause it’s worth every penny👌🏼
Would this sound good in a van.All genres of music
Good video! Standing in front of a speaker at 126dB is not smart. Doesn't take long to damage your hearing!
I have clear musician ear plugs in.
Good move!@@DJRickWeb
I use the jbl eon mk2 for ceremony and cocktail hour and its amazing..however thr mackie thump go the only downfall it doesnt power a wireless mic but the battery lasts a while
Hey bro, what is the best settings on the equalizer for music?
Thank you,
BJ
How far away can they be from each other with Bluetooth pairing?
Maybe 25 ft
Rick, how well does the DUCK feature work? I do a Cornhole tournament where I don’t need the music loud, but a ton of mic work from an outside emcee. I currently bring my main controller with duck, but its overkill. Id love to be able to use smaller speakers and a small DJ2go controller.
Works really well. Cuts the volume for announcements then back up after
You have to test the hk audio polar 12
great video review... but green 20% what were thes guys were thinking... im still with EV
Lol. The battery last too long you never have to worry about the battery level
This is very helpful video - If we pair with Bluetooth two of these Thump Go, can we use mic with first speaker and does it also come on another speaker via Bluetooth or the bluetooth linking only works for Music? Basically want two speakers to work wirelessly with a single microphone connected to one of the speakers.
It works like a through to the next speaker. So if you link them. Whatever you use mic music guitar on the first speaker. The same thing comes out the linked speaker
@@DJRickWeb Wonderful, via Bluetooth? with no Physical cable required?
I always recommend using cables for the best sound quality
Is it sufficient for outdoor ceremony? For music and then officiant/vows? Would you need 2?
Yes. 2 for more than 100 people
is connecting through the audio jack going to give me more clarity and quality than connecting by bluetooth connection? My source is an iPhone
No it wont. It comes down to the audio file quality your playing
everse 8 beats these on ever level, i own 2 and love them
Is it worth the extra ~200 dollars? Mainly using mine for stage monitors and cocktail bg music
#Squad from West Virginia
They could have made this speaker cheaper by removing Bluetooth & App software feature. The reason why I say this is because everyone I talked to regarding the Mackie Thump Go, are using it as a portable battery operated DJ speakers. So they would connected it to a mixer which is then connected to DJ mixer or controller.
Which wireless mic can i connect to this? I ve no idea, please help me
Any via xlr
Are their any future plans to do a collaboration with lil web productions?
Not really
I made Mackie aware of the app opening with all the sliders up (full volume) and they said they were not going to fix it. That seemed odd to me. Who turns up all the sliders on their mixer before turning it on? Nobody.
Has anyone tried the everse vs the Maui 5 go?

Looking for something for speech on the outdoors
Did you test or make a comparison with Mackie Thrash 212 Go?
I just got a set of those need to make a video
I can appreciate you time for your review, but The EV Everse 8 is the best. I have compared the EV against the Thump GO and Bose S1 pro, and the EV wins hands down. The reason you don't like apps with speakers, is because the Mackie app is ok, but the EV app is very intuitive. I don't understand why anyone would want to have more knobs, that can be broken, or moved position in transport.
#squad!!!
WHERE CAN I FIND THE THUMB GO FOR $350 CAUSE I OWN 2 AND I HAD TO 480 FOR EACH ONE
Amazon. Link in comment / description
Has anyone matched a (preferably battery powered) subwoofer to the Thump Go 8s? I have a pair and I love them but they seriously lack low-end bass. I'd be in heaven if there was a portable/mobile sub to match them.
I’m looking for the same
# SQUAD
How would this compare with the ev zlz12 ?
Zlx 12 is better
i guess the outdoor mode is for minimizing excursion of the speaker at high volume to protect it i think
@__DJRickWebwow cool fake account 😂
Absolutely. What the heck get iut of here
6 MONTHS LATER, You still diggin this speaker or have you found another option??
Still using them
@@DJRickWeb Awesome and Thanks for the time 🤙🏾
One will be enough for a small wedding of 25 people on a ballroom?
Might want a little more full range but for that small yeah it would work

The battery life last 5 to 6 hours with the volume on high level
I like Mackie, but they need to stop using that ugly green on their speakers or give an option to remove it. Makes it look cheap. I know, petty. Lol
It's too shallow for bass output and if BOSE is too sophisticated with it's 3 knobs... 😆 🤣 😂 It auto EQs... Why's that over the top??
Nawwww the EV 8 is wayyyyy better by far!!!
Cough evox 12 cough
Lol
Nope. EV Everse 8 is better
True!!!
In some setups
Everse 8 it is mutch better
EV EVERSE 8!! Better choice
Wouldnt agree business wise but its a great speaker
@DJRickWeb Mackie speaker quality went down ever since RCF left loud technologies. For business, I would pick the better quality and that's Ev
2 thumps for the price of 1 Ev so …. Thump better for me
@akkin6236 right on. Whatever works for you. Quality, sound, and features. Ev is the way to go
Sorry definitely not the best. Electro-Voice has the best.
To each there own.
Jbl was terrible
Love all 4 of our JBL Eon battery powered. Had good audio for 600 people at the beach in Bluetooth.
Want to check out the EV with DC power out
@@diamondosu I meant the eon one for sure. Way too easy to limit. Otherwise they are cool
