Electro-Voice Launches EVERSE 8 Battery-Powered Loudspeaker With Bluetooth

Compact, weatherized design with Bluetooth audio and control coupled with high-capacity Li-ion battery pack designed to provide power for up to 12 hours to serve applications that include live music, vocal reinforcement/audio playback, DJs and more.

Electro-Voice has announced the global introduction of the EVERSE 8, a new weatherized battery-powered loudspeaker with Bluetooth audio and control that’s designed for applications that include live music, vocal reinforcement and/or audio playback, musicians, DJs, production/rental companies, and more.

EVERSE 8 carries a stated maximum SPL rating of 121 dB and provides 100 x 100-degree coverage. Core components include an 8-inch woofer mounted using EV’s patented SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers) port design and a high-output titanium tweeter mounted on a custom constant-directivity waveguide. It’s driven by a high-efficiency Class-D amplifier and DSP module developed in collaboration with the audio electronics engineering team at EV’s sibling brand Dynacord.

Pro capabilities include a built in four-channel digital mixer with studio-quality effects and processing, 48-volt phantom power, feedback suppression and audio ducking. Reliability is verified with extensive music abuse and endurance testing.

EVERSE 8 is powered by a custom-designed high-capacity Li-ion battery pack stated to provide power for up to 12 hours of run time. Protection circuitry helps reduce 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 simplify removing the battery.

Wireless control and monitoring is provided with the EV QuickSmart Mobile app, which can be used to adjust all audio, effects and mix functions via phone or tablet. An intuitive user interface is designed to make it more simple to shape the sound to the space.

An integrated 12 -volt DC port provides power from the EVERSE 8 battery for powering a wireless microphone system such as the EV RE3 or R300. Users attach the optional accessory tray to the top of an EVERSE 8 to secure receiver hardware in place.

For stereo setups, EVERSE 8 is equipped for Bluetooth true wireless stereo streaming. A charging port is also included for mobile devices if a top-up is needed when streaming.

An ergonomically designed soft-touch handle and lightweight construction are designed to facilitate easy moving and mounting of EVERSE 8, whether on a tripod for a longer throw, set long-side-down as a stage wedge using the 55-degree monitor angle, or used upright with the 30-degree kick-back angle to project up off the performance area. Built-in feet with no-skid rubber pads help ensure the system stays put.

In combination with the 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. An optional tote bag is also available, designed to fit everything the user might need in addition to their EVERSE 8: accessory tray and weather cover, wireless mic and receiver, extra battery, XLR and power cables, and mobile devices.

EVERSE 8 is available now. Go here for more specifics.
