Electro-Voice (EV) EVERSE 8

I have been an Electro-Voice (EV) girl since 1996, when I purchased a 100M amp and two SX100 speakers. These days, gigging takes me to smaller venues, some without power. I was delighted to find the EVERSE 8 in my "what to buy" research.

My first gig with the Everse 8,
at La Chiquita Cafe in Fremantle

I am not someone who likes to fiddle with sound; when I find something I like I stick to it. With this in mind I went through each FX in turn and selected my vocal and acoustic guitar sound.

I only found two quirks with the EVERSE 8:

1. When recalling a preset, or if you switch the device off and on, any level above 10dB is set to 0dB.
2. The speaker volume cannot be saved in a pre-set.

Once you know about this, happy days.

I found out, by accident, that my android phone connects to the EVERSE 8 without Bluetooth turned on. This makes sense to me, no phone calls broadcast to the world if you forget to go to flight mode.

My first gig was two hours, café style and the EVERSE 8 was battery powered. Folks loved the sound; organic and pure.

The EV QuickSmart Mobile App is intrinsic and easy to use and the possibilities seem endless; it's up to me now.

PS If I'm using my stomp, I plug the stomp into channel 1. The guitar and vocal are mixed and then sent to channel 2 via a Boss Acoustic Singer VE-8.

Weatherised, battery-powered loudspeaker for indoors or outdoors.

Available in a black or white finish.

Compact and lightweight (7.6kg).

Wireless control & monitoring.

8 in. woofer and 1 in. titanium dome.

Large battery capacity (up to 12 hour runtime).
