Features

REAL PRO-AUDIO PERFORMANCE
With a maximum SPL rating of 121 dB and wide, even 100 x 100 coverage, EVERSE 8s capabilities defy its compact form factor and set uncompromising new benchmarks for its product segment. Core components include an 8 woofer mounted using EVs patented SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers) port design, and a high-output titanium tweeter mounted onto a custom constant-directivity waveguide. And, as with all Electro-Voice portable loudspeakers, EVERSE 8s system reliability is verified with extensive music abuse and endurance testing.

BATTERY-POWERED CONVENIENCE
EVERSE 8 is powered by a custom-designed high-capacity Li-ion battery pack, fully optimized for audio use and providing plentiful power for up to 12 hours of run time. Protection circuitry reduces the risk of the battery discharging to such a low voltage that it can no longer be recharged for example, after long periods in storage. Tool-free screws make removing the battery pack effortless. Uncompromising sound quality, unplugged.

IP43-RATED WEATHERIZED DESIGN
In combination with the rugged polypropylene enclosure, use of the included weatherized input cover allows EVERSE 8 to meet the IP43 rating (water resistant for splashes and light rain) when running on battery power and while Bluetooth streaming. Built-in feet with no-skid rubber pads ensure the system stays put. Bring EVERSE 8 outside for busking, marching band practice, or the backyard BBQ, or wherever a PA is needed, whatever the forecast.

COMPACT & LIGHTWEIGHT
Every detail of EVERSE 8 is designed to maximize easy lifting and transportation all while reinforcing EVs reputation for real-world durability. An ergonomically designed soft-touch handle and premium lightweight construction make it a breeze to move and mount EVERSE 8. Pack it into the optional tote bag and head out to the gig. Its the all-in-one pro-audio system you can grab to go.

EXPANDABLE FUNCTIONALITY
The integrated 12 V DC port provides convenient power from the EVERSE 8 battery, perfect for powering a wireless microphone system such as the Electro-Voice RE3 or R300 (see user manual for details). Attach the optional accessory tray to the top of an EVERSE 8 to secure receiver hardware in place. A charging port is included for mobile devices if a top-up is needed when streaming. Place on a tripod for a longer throw, set long-side down as a stage wedge using the 55 monitor angle, or use upright with the 30 kick-back angle to project up off the performance area. For stereo setups, EVERSE 8 is equipped for Bluetooth true wireless stereo streaming.

POWERED BY DYNACORD
EVERSE 8 is driven by a high-efficiency Class-D amplifier and DSP module developed in collaboration with the world-class audio electronics engineering team at EVs sibling brand Dynacord. Pro features include a built in four-channel digital mixer with studio-quality effects and processing, 48 V phantom power, feedback suppression and audio ducking. Between the EV and the D badges, you get the best of both worlds.

WIRELESS CONTROL & MONITORING
Use the EV QuickSmart Mobile app to adjust all audio, effects and mix functions via your phone or tablet. An intuitive user interface makes it simple to shape your sound to the space, so you can focus on the show.
