Electro-Voice EVERSE 8

Weatherized Battery-Powered Loudspeaker with Bluetooth® Audio and Control

Overview

The Electro-Voice EVERSE 8 is a paradigm shift for mobile, professional-grade sound reinforcement. Designed for gigging musicians, DJs, rental houses, and event professionals, it delivers the legendary high-SPL performance and sonic clarity of EV's larger PA systems in a compact, ruggedized, and battery-powered enclosure. Co-developed with Dynacord, the EVERSE 8 isn't just a speaker; it's a fully integrated portable audio ecosystem featuring a studio-quality 4-channel digital mixer, comprehensive QuickSmart DSP, and an IP43 weather-resistant rating. Whether you are providing sound for an outdoor wedding, busking without access to mains power, or needing a reliable, fast-deploy wireless delay fill, the EVERSE 8 delivers zero compromises on sound quality or functionality.

Models & Range

• Full Range Models: The EVERSE 8 is available in two robust finishes—standard Black for low-profile stage and gigging use, and White, ideal for corporate events, weddings, and architectural integrations. (Note: The larger EVERSE 12 is also available for applications demanding extended low-end and higher SPL).
• Subwoofer Models: While a dedicated battery-powered EVERSE subwoofer does not currently exist, the EVERSE 8 features an XLR Mix Out with programmable DSP crossover, allowing seamless pairing with active subwoofers like the EV ELX200-12SP or EKX-15SP when mains power is available.

Key Features

• Pro-Grade Audio On Battery: A custom-designed, high-capacity 86.4 Wh Li-Ion battery pack delivers up to 12 hours of runtime at moderate levels, or 6+ hours at maximum output, ensuring it outlasts the longest gigs.
• Dynacord-Powered Mixer & DSP: A built-in 4-channel digital mixer boasts studio-grade effects (reverb, delay, chorus), automatic feedback suppression (AFS), audio ducking, and parametric/graphic EQ, all accessible via the intuitive EV QuickSmart Mobile App.
• Weatherized Reliability: An IP43 rating ensures the speaker is protected against light rain and splashes. The rugged polypropylene composite enclosure includes a weatherized input cover to protect the mixer panel during outdoor use.
• Expert-Level Connectivity & Power Out: Beyond standard inputs, the EVERSE 8 features true 48V Phantom Power, a Hi-Z instrument input, a 5V/1.5A USB-C port to charge mobile devices, and a dedicated 12V DC output to power a wireless microphone receiver directly from the speaker’s battery.
• True Wireless Stereo (TWS): Effortlessly link two EVERSE 8 units via Bluetooth® for a completely wireless, high-fidelity stereo PA system.
