RCF EVOX 8 Review

Joee 8:41 PM - 18 October, 2014

i was going to post a review of the system than a forum member showed me this video

Watch www.youtube.com

it really is a great little system that most wedding/smaller party dj's will find more than adequate, rcf should put me on there payroll for real…….lol

i already convinced 3 people into buying the system

That's a nice setup

DJ GaFFle 11:13 AM - 19 October, 2014

Jose, do you own a single unit or a pair of these? How much are they?

Joee 1:14 PM - 19 October, 2014

only one i will be buying the second shortly $1,350 speaker $100 bag

Not as bad as I thought. So honestly... how would you rate a single Evox8 vs. say a single 12" RCF/JBL/EV top you've had experience with? How about vs. any of those 15" tops? Base your comparison on the type of music we mobile DJs typically play.

I'm guessing the bass would sound better due to the ground coupling of the Evox but I'm not sure what that speaker module up top can put out.

we tested yesterday the evox 8 vs elx115p the evox won hands down

i used it friday in a bar/restaurant the owner came downstairs to the bar & asked if i could turndown the bass because it was shaking upstairs

i was worried about this two, how is a 2" gonna handle highs i said to my self we know the bose doesn't do a great job at the mid/high …..but the evox really does impress output is pretty phenomenal for 2" speakers

Wouldn't it make more sense to compare it to a 15"top in the same price range? We also know its very difficult for a single top to beat a top sub combo. I would like to know how this evox 8 set up compares to my yamaha dxr8 dxs12 combo? I'm thinking the evox 8 was made to compete with those bose systems.

SPL the ev has the edge i think but the rcf get pretty loud , now in every other aspect of sound quality the rcf wins

Taipanic 1:31 PM - 20 October, 2014

Joee,

If you were playing a small event with mostly current EDM/Hip-Hop/Trap/etc... would you think adding a secondary sub (like a ZXa1) would better fill out the sound at a higher volume.

Joee 1:56 PM - 20 October, 2014

Quote:

yes it would as the added bass would give the impression of it being louder, but the evox 8 gets plenty loud

rayjthedj 2:55 PM - 20 October, 2014

Joee,

This is a spin off of the last question on adding another sub. Do you have the ability to pick the crossovers in the RCF EVOX8 system. For example if I wanted to add a EV-ETX15sp and send the sub 40 hz to 80 hz, then run the lower RCF box from 80 hz to the crossover point for the arrayed tops.

Thanks Ray J.

rayjthedj 3:21 PM - 20 October, 2014

I have actually been a little intrigued on the system and thoughts of how they would combine with one of my subs. If I have to use a Drive Rack PA + to make it all work, then it is a no go.

I will say I heard the largest Bose system in an outdoor setting in Pigeon Forge, TN this weekend. There was an excellent Elvis impersonator performing in a nice outdoor setting and the system absolutely surprised and impressed me.

I had listened to it a couple times in a Bose store and was not impressed in the least bit, but I am thinking the kids in the store had no audio background or training to properly demo the system.

you go from the link out of the rcf to you're ev--> rcf.media-display.it

or vice versa link out from ev to rcf

rayjthedj 3:40 PM - 20 October, 2014

I got the hook ups, I hopped the RCF lower box had the ability to set it HPF, then you could easily turn it into a bass to low mid driver and use a larger sub with it to produce a really smooth three way system.

Joee 3:48 PM - 20 October, 2014

ok, i see

I am one of them. I just got an Evox 8 today and WOW. I did a side by side comparison with an HK Audio Elements system. They sounded similar, but it takes 2 subs and 2 tops of the HK stuff to keep up with the one sub and one top of the RCF Evox. Plus, the RCF sub has just a little more bass (than TWO HK subs) so bang for the buck, Evox is an awesome option!

If someone who had some pull could get them (RCF, I would also like to see FBT) in GC or Sam Ash in Nashville, maybe they could sell more product. It might not move me from EV products, as Sam Ash is the #1 seller of EV products in the USA and that equates to tremendous savings for me, plus the engineering support I have received from Bosch/EV, due to the amount of EV I have purchases as a small operator, is worth a bunch.

i think if big name stores like sam ash & guitarcenter carried fbt & rcf more people would use they'd also be more popular ,i wonder if them being made in italy has anything to do with the SA & GC not carrying them

rayjthedj 2:30 PM - 21 October, 2014

I would think where they are made would not matter, as they both carry a lot of made in China, Mexico and other countries products.

Anybody that carries Behringer, Gemini and Alto, I would think don't really care what they sell :)

Thanks for that. I needed a good laugh today. There's a DJ Company in my neck of the woods that uses Gemini speakers and the name of their company would make you think they have the best sound system in the world... very deceiving.

rayjthedj 8:51 PM - 22 October, 2014

I feel ashamed, I do have a couple Gemini products (1 RU CD/MP3/USB player with preamp, I use in the garage, a Gemini Digital Recorder, I use in a ceremony rack). Forgot, I have the Alto Wireless system I use sometimes for ceremony fills.

I feel so dirty, but it is off my chest :)

Mike Sinclair 12:42 PM - 24 October, 2014

yeah, I agree with Joee. I actually had k12's and one kSub. I now have the Evox 8 system. Evox has a very clean, fuller sound.

rayjthedj 12:45 PM - 24 October, 2014

I have never disliked the K12, excellent speakers, I have never liked the ksub, waste of money, as there are much better sounding and more affordable options.

thats cause you know how to use them, when you put them in the hands of a inexperienced user that redlines all night they break up and get very harsh at higher volumes

rayjthedj 1:38 PM - 24 October, 2014

All the K series seemed harsh to me when pushed, but if you have to push your equipment that hard you did not bring enough rig for the gig. The kw sub suffered from the opposite to me, it had enough power and a great driver, it never got harsh (subs seldom do) but it went flat.

Most people forget the laws of physics or never learned them, subs require large cabinets if you want them to produce low frequency responses or deliver high SPL. The ksub has a pair of drivers in a cabinet that, I think, would have worked better with one good driver, the kw needs a larger cabinet to allow that great driver and amp to kick some butt. Case in point the ETX15SP sub has about the same size cabinet, and about the same size amp after all the fluff is taken out of the equation and goes lower and sounds better all the way to limiting.

Don't get me wrong the guys and gals at QSC are way smarter than me and they hit the market target long before the other manufacturers at our price range, but the other manufacturers are now ahead of them again. I am very interested in what QSCs next product will be to regain market share as they are a very smart company.

geeunot 5:17 PM - 24 October, 2014

man i love my k12 + KW 181. I used the ksub w/ k10...the k10s clean but the ksub is weak! most likely for a very very small room. less than 50 for sure.

It's a pretty impressive unit. My second one should arrive by the end of the week. I had ordered one to make sure it would work for me. I do mostly small Weddings, so this is ideal for me. It puts out a BIG sound for its size. I can't wait to hear two of them together!

I have to shop around and see what's the best price I can get for it in the NYC area.

DJ Michael Basic 10:05 PM - 28 October, 2014

After doing some research and watching the video I'm pretty sold on this thing. I've been looking into a new sound setup anyway...my bose l1 is over 10 years old at this point.

Currently, I use a bose l1 with a QSC Ksub, and if I need to supplement, I have a pair of k8s.

This seems like it would be an upgrade to that. I assume that I'd only need one, since I could supplement with a ksub and k8 or 2 if I needed more sound...and if I needed a ton of sound I could add the bose in as well. I have 3 bose l1s, 2 of which have been collecting dust for years...I think in the over 10 years I've had them I've only needed to use more than 1 at 2 gigs. The mobiles I do just don't require massive sound.

it's a great little system you will really like it, two evox 8's will blow one k sub & two k8's out of the water easily & it sounds ALOT better than bose L1

if you're looking for a easy to transport convenient system with big sound, this is it!!!

JDforKing 10:14 PM - 29 October, 2014

I'm liking the looks of this system but i feel it's a bit over priced ($1350 plus $100 bag). I like the flexibility of the yamaha dxr8 with a dxs12 for less or the ev zxa1 and the zxa1 sub. I'm just a quality in addition to bang for your buck person.

Joee 10:29 PM - 29 October, 2014

it's worth it, the convenience alone forget about the sound it puts out…think about how fast you will be in & out the gig & quality you already know it's there with rcf

Joee i've been doing my research on the evox 8. They are beyond tempting, but i have yet to purchase something like the zxa5 or any other $1400 top. I think i'll take a stab at those before i purchase something like the evox for a similar price.

The bose with a ksub handles these parties adequately. The volume and coverage are fine...and while the ksub is a piece of shit, the college kids aren't the most discerning audience.

oh ok, thanks for the detailed explanation. This is an excellent example of regional differences as there would be no way I could pull that off were im from with such a small system and young crowd. I wish i could use a micro system and earn the same money.....smh

rayjthedj 1:15 AM - 30 October, 2014

I could not pull that off with my MS & HS kids. I made the mistake of only taking my Yamaha DXR15's to a MS dance once, because it was to be a short music set, just over an hour, due to games and contest.

They all came up and said "Mr J, where are the subs, please bring them back next dance".

I never tried HS without big subs, as the previous DJ used a pair of K8s over Ksubs and the kids thought the sound was lame. Today's kids understand audio equipment and sound better than any previous generation. Many of them have a more powerful car stereo than many of the local DJs.

6 2:04 AM - 30 October, 2014

I like the EVOX 8 from what I saw on the video. Obviously hard to tell how the bass sounds like unless you're there in person.

My issue into buying this is not even the price but the necessity of it. I also only do a minimum amount of mobiles by choice and what I have works perfectly for my needs. I understand the size and ease of the set up but I don't know that it could do what my current system does unless I get two of them.

Currently, I still have my PRX500's. I have two 15's and the sub. I also have another 12" that I use as a monitor. So, from my point of view, my current needs, what I currently have, I don't think the purchase seems that good of a choice.

Now, for those events where they required more sound, I didn't even have to supply anyrhing. They just pay someone to bring the necessary sound so really never had a reason to go BIG(GER) than what I already owned.

What do you guys think?

Most of us are self-professed gear whores and want the latest and greatest (if dollar$ permit). You don't seem to be that as far as PA gear so don't sweat sticking to with what you have. Your system is adequate for most any small-to-medium gig and like you mentioned, biGGer sound is accommodated by your patrons with them renting what is required.

All that being said, ((( I'd ))) possibly take the plunge for this fly little system because it seems super compact and looks visually nice. If it's anything like other RCF stuff, it sounds great by default. My only fear would be that the 12" sub isn't deep enough and one may run into the issue of not-enuff-rig-4-the-gig. I'd really like to hear it in person and would want to insure it sounds better than say a Yamaha/EV/JBL 8" top + 12" powered sub combo. Their advantage is you can run the 8" tops solo if you want whereas you can't split up the Evox tops from their subs and run them solo w/o an external DSP/amp.

Also, know you're definitely limiting your crowd/venue size with the Evox 8's. Getting this system... you KNOW you're only handling 100 ppl crowds or less.

DJ GaFFle 2:35 AM - 30 October, 2014

RCF needs to make an Evox 10 with additional drivers in the top and a 15" sub.

I'm not talking playing tunes like "Come Away With Me" - Norah Jones, I'm talking Reggae, EDM, Rap, etc. Do you still think two of these would rock, playing all genres, for 200 ppl?

70lbs, Yeah... that's the only rub because being able to easily tote the Evox is a huge factor in wanting these.

they would fill out the dance floor area just fine while still providing sound to the rest of the room

problem here is…lol, guys like you & pididy with four 18" subs have come to expect something different than to normal when it come to you're bass

the average person does not expect what you guys do, back when i had my vrx 918sp I had clients come up to me and tell me can you turn the bass down it's too much bass…with only one!

6 1:47 PM - 30 October, 2014

Yeah. Definitely not a gear hog here lol. I think you also hit it on the head when you said you can't separate the top and bottom if you needed to - another reason why I like my current old system but again, don't think you'd ever need to since the EVOX's size and portability and sound it provides for what it is seems sufficient.

I like idea of a bigger bottom but again like Joee said, it would compromise its portability.

I wonder how many bass enclosures would overpower the current tops of the system. Meaning, if a 12" sub was choose for its portability or because anything bigger would have overpowered the tops.

Joee 1:56 PM - 30 October, 2014

the only reason for anyone to buy this system is for portability ease of use & transport along with light weight

if those are not you're priority than a single 18" with two 12" tops will be a better option

So if 2 Evo 8 are fine for 200 ppl, 3 Evo 8, will be fine for a Quinceañera? Sometimes we have few ppl in a huge Salon and sometimes we have a lot of people in a small salon.

Quote:

I'm not talking playing tunes like "Come Away With Me" - Norah Jones, I'm talking Reggae, EDM, Rap, etc. Do you still think two of these would rock, playing all genres, for 200 ppl?

they would fill out the dance floor area just fine while still providing sound to the rest of the room

problem here is…lol, guys like you & pididy with four 18" subs have come to expect something different than to normal when it come to you're bass

the average person does not expect what you guys do, back when i had my vrx 918sp I had clients come up to me and tell me can you turn the bass down it's too much bass…with only one!

Not a good idea. Those EVox's have 120 degree of dispersion. 3 of them would give you tons overlap creating hotspots and lulls in your sound.

you can do that too

use the sub alone & as you said use the speaker with a amp

Come to think about it, that wouldn't be such a good look. Three stacked top-modules with three thick powercon speaker cables coming out the back and trying to hide them behind that little speaker pole. Even velcro'd, that wouldn't look too hot IMO. Plus, I doubt 3 12" subs would provide good knock for larger crowds. There's no replacement for displacement... you want knock, you gotta go with 18's or larger.

thats the thing... I have a hatchback. I need a single sub that kicks ass.

Had a KW181 previously and that was an acceptable size, just trying to find something with more bass in the same size. Right now, I'm considering the RCF 8004-AS, looking to see how it compares with the QSC.
I've thought about getting a KV2 EX2.2 but they are a bit more money and my friends that have them always seem to be getting them repaired.
I keep looking at the JBLVRX918SP too.

On the opposite end of the price spectrum, I'm considering the Turbosound Milan M18 (2000 watt 18" for less that $900) but that seems too good to be true.

and then...I'm considering ditching all of that and going with two EXOX 8.

at the end of the day I just want a small footprint system that packs a punch. Last one I had was KW181, 2K10s, and a K8 as monitor. It did the trick for me, but I had to run it pretty much full blast. I would like a higher quality sound if possible.

deep hard hitting bass. Then venues where I would be using this system are small and easy to fill with sound. I want a mini earthquake in the back of my VW if possible.

Sho' nuff, I said that but... it absolutely does "compare" to a typical 18" sub. Anybody who's heard or owns a TH-Mini will attest to this.

Would I try a do a prom with a pair of them... nope, only a middle school or younger prom but they certainly amaze for their size and run neck and neck with your typical 18" front-firing subs. And yes, it was the HPR 18 and they sound noticeably better than the KW181 subs. People have gotten use to the KW181 being the standard in mobile subs. They are far more convenient than the QSC HPR181's were due to their nearly 40 lbs lighter weight but I knew QSC sacrificed a little sound quality for a lighter enclosure and class-D amp design when I compared them. I was wanting to upgrade subs from the HPR's but the KW181's would have been a side or slightly downward step for the bass I was trying to achieve.

I'd actually rather run powered speakers over some passive TH-Mini's though. If I'm gonna go the passive speaker route, I'm looking for all-out power and output capacity.

This is a contradiction, the speaker you describe can not and does not exist with today's technology. As of today you can only get 2 of your requests..... So pick 2 from the list....
Deep
loud
mini (lil smaller than small)

So for example....... Mini+Deep= wont go loud, Mini+Loud= wont go deep

i had the same problem as you i wanted big bass but didn't want to carry heavy subs i finally settled on the rcf art 905-as sounds pretty good for being a small box & 70lbs

you can cheat psychics if you want bass you need to move air, sound like you need the yorkvile ls801p, but it's to big and heavy have you looked into

So like joee said, if portability and sound quality is your main priority then the RCF EVOX 8 is for you. If you want to hit hard and go low then it not for you.

If your friends are always getting them repaired then they are pushing them way too hard. They do put out a good amount of sound though. I am not even sure where you would get them new nowadays. I am assuming they would probably be around $2700 per cabinet if you could find them though.

The cheapest I ever saw the EX-12 was around $2150. That was in 2008. Adjusting for inflation, increase in shipping charges, the value of the dollar vs the Euro (which I am assuming they are on), and increase in manufacturing I still can't see them being higher than $2800-$3000. There is only one distributor though so they can set whatever price they want. I am assuming if you called them the price would be cheaper. I did price out a replacement driver for the HF section and it came out to $970 so the parts are definitely not cheap.

right now it's between the RCF SUB 8004 and the JBL VRX918SP, both will fit in my car.

KV2 pricing ? .......My guess is its a marketing scheme to improve the perception of their product. In order to be precised as one of the "BIG DOGS" you must be priced accordingly. So if you want to compete with Meyer, function 1, nexo I need Meyer pricing.

DJ Dub Cowboy 10:39 PM - 4 November, 2014

the specs on the JBL are not convincing though.

I scored a pair of EAW fr153z mains this morning on flea bay, so I may just keep the EAW system as one rig and head toward this EVOX system for the small portable.

No matter what I do, it will be after NAMM so I can go hear all of these in one (less than ideal) location.

so to get this back on EVOX talk.

would you RCF experts rate two EVOX8 systems over a system composed of two QSC K10s and KW181?

DJ Dub Cowboy 10:44 PM - 4 November, 2014

the two RCFs would cost just a bit more, but take up so much less room.

apples to oranges sir, the EVOX8 priority is ultra light weight portability + sound quality. A KW181 does not compete there.

I am pretty sure that the pricing I posted was list price so you are probably looking at around $3k a cabinet which is about $2k less than the Meyer UPA they are competing with. The Meyers do sound better. I have done a head to head comparison of the KV2 EX-12 and the RCF TT-22A and I would still take the EX-12.

In response to Dub's question about whether I would buy them again I would say no at the current pricing. If I were purchasing now I would buy 6-8 lower priced powered boxes like the Yamaha DSR112 or EV ETX-12Ps for smaller events and rental. For higher end I would probably go passive and save for 8-12 JBL Vertec 4886s tops. Not sure on the subs.

skinnyguy 12:33 PM - 5 November, 2014

I think all manufacturing got moved to where they are located now (Czech republic) or there is no local US main distributor. Any US vendor is dealing with kv2 directly and shipping is killing it.

Lets put the weight out of the decision here

Ok same question would two evox8 sytems sound better than two qsc kw181s with two qsc k12s or k10s?

Basically which system would knock hard in terms of bass and sound quality if weight plus portability was not an issue.

What would you go with if your only choice was to only pick either the evox system or the qsc combination as stated above?

That answers it!! Qsc it is

Because i was in a delema of spending $3600 on getting two Evox8s vs adding another qsckw 181 and two k12s to my other qsckw181 setup i own with the qsc 3 way.

GoHoos 11:32 PM - 8 November, 2014

Got mine in yesterday, and couldn't really let it rip in the apartment. I can say, and while this isn't really impressive in and of itself, it's on a totally different level than the Bose L1 compact systems (which I do own and use for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, etc).

I'm heading out of town on Monday and my brother (who has a little land) is watching my dog, so while I drop her off, I'll do a speaker shootout with my SPL meter and post the results. I'm going to compare:

EVOX 8
QSC K12
Yamaha DXR12
EV ETX 15-P
...and may bring alone a Bose L1 Compact just for fun

That's a pretty wide swath of gear--only a couple of which really compete (K12 and DXR12), but it will provide context. I'm hoping that these Evox 8's can be my go-to speakers for weddings up to 150 guests or so (as a pair of them).

The 2 K12's and 1 KSub sounded decent until I compared them to the RCF HD12a's and 905AS Sub. The RCF stuff sounded "fuller" to me. The RCF Sub sounded deeper and punchier than the KSub and would go louder without clipping. (Ksub would clip sooner).

I'm always looking for lighter gear that still manages to sound good. I am a mobile DJ (99% Weddings) ... I tried the HK Audio Elements and they sounded pretty good, until I compared them to the Evox 8. Like I said earlier in this thread, it took 2 of HK's 10" Subs to compare to ONE 12" Evox sub. And it took 2 HK tops (E835's) to compare to the ONE RCF Evox 8 top. Again, the RCF stuff sounded much fuller. By fuller, I mean well-rounded... great lows, mids and highs. The Evox, being a "line-array style" design, sounds REAL clean. I've never heard a top with such clean mids & highs. The subs are solid for their size as well... There are DJ's in my market who DJ small weddings with two QSC K12's and NO subs. To me, this is just crazy. I gotta have some bass. Two Evox 8's will SMOKE two K12's and even two K12's with a KSub. Two K12's with TWO Ksubs might have the edge in the bass department, but I think the RCF stuff sounds cleaner.

I think the 905as sub was my favorite for sound. That thing was a beast, but it also weighs just over 70 pounds, where one Evox 8 (sub and top speaker) weighs about 50 pounds and those little 12" subs sound pretty damn good for their size (better than Ksub from what I can remember).

Coverage: Evox 8 beats EVERYTHING I've owned because of the 120 degree horizontal dispersion. You can stand almost beside it and it sounds as good as standing right in front of it!

For me, the Evox is the best system I've owned for what I do. Again, doing medium-sized Weddings, this is more than adequate. Compact, lightweight, easy to set up and still has a very sweet sound to it. Because the tops slide into the back of the subs and they make a bag that you can put the speakers and poles into, you can literally carry your entire speaker system into a venue in ONE trip. (one in each hand)... Like JoJo said, if you want crazy bass for a club setting, this probably isn't a system for you. But, if you want something that won't break your back that still sounds great, this can't be beat in my opinion.

DJ Michael Basic 6:45 PM - 9 November, 2014

I get mine Wednesday and I happen to have a small room mobile gig Wednesday night so I'll review it then.

GoHoos 9:31 PM - 9 November, 2014

OK so I was just starting to play around with them when the neighbors complained. I did convince them to let me do 2 more speakers really quick to at least get a number for all 3 models I brought.

So at 30' with a $70 SPL meter (nothing too fancy but not a POS), I tested the DXR 12, the ETX 15-P and the EVOX 8. I did it all with the Martin Solveig song "Hello" and pushed each speaker to where the limit light was juuuuust blinking, so IMO a speaker like the EV with a very aggressive limiter might be at a small disadvantage here.

The loudest of the bunch by far was the DXR 12. It hit 98.5dB at 30' away outside.

The ETX 15-P hit 96.4 dB at the exact same distance and sounded an indescribable amount cleaner.

Lastly, I tested the EVOX.

The EVOX 8 hit 95.1 dB at that distance.

In terms of sound quality, the EV and RCF blew the Yamaha out of the water. The Yamaha was ear splitting loud but so harsh that it was difficult to listen to. Honestly, if you're pushing that speaker to the limit light, your clients aren't going to be your biggest fans unless they're hammered.

I preferred the EV ever so slightly to the RCF in terms of overall sound--it was just a touch warmer and the vocals sounded a little more natural (which seems weird for a recorded song, but I feel like I'm on the right track here), but it could be that it was with absolutely ZERO EQ, and that if I had some time to play around, I might prefer the RCF? The bass response between the ETX and the RCF was very similar such that I couldn't discern a difference. I had a few tracks lined up to test bass, but was pre-empted.

Basically, if you want people to leave your gig with their ears hurting, you could do a lot worse for the price than the DXR 12. It was loud. The RCF seems like it should allow me to play basically anything I could play with just the EV ETX 15's which is most weddings I'm going to work.

I wish I had a K12 to test, but the last pair I have in stock was rented out on an emergency basis this morning, so that was a no go.

Overall, I'm pleased with the RCF and I'll follow up after a real gig.

GoHoos 8:21 AM - 11 November, 2014

I can tell you this ... after lugging the ETX 15's to and from gigs all of wedding season, they feel way heavier than 10lbs more than the Evox. They're a very heavy 61 pounds.

The Evox carries very easily because of the top handle. You also never have to lift it off of a speaker stand, which after a 12-14 hour day of setting up, running around, then actually getting to DJ, has not been fun with the ETX.

After the results of my SPL test, I'm trying to decide if I should keep my ETX and use them with subwoofers when necessary (which I'm guessing will be 200+ people type events), or just pull a pair of K12's or KW153's out of my rental inventory whenever I need the extra SPL and sell the ETX.

GoHoos 11:42 AM - 11 November, 2014

Still have to test them out in a paired application. The 120 degree dispersion is interesting in that it's not really a pattern that's typical of speakers intended for paired usage. One of the other benefits of 75-90 degree patterns for wedding DJs is the ability to keep it nice and loud on the dance floor, but generally still tolerable for those still seated (usually older folks who complain about volume anyway, so it works out) outside the main dance floor area. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little worried about that, but I'm gonna see how it goes.

Mike Sinclair 1:08 PM - 11 November, 2014

Have any of you guys who bought Evox 8 turned on your microphone and checked out how AMAZING voice sounds? Friggin' incredible! Clean, clear, easy to hear over music... I'm lovin' these things.

rayjthedj 3:32 PM - 11 November, 2014

After using the ETX line for several months and many gigs, I will say EV should have used NEO magnets in these speakers at as high a price point as they sell at.

My drivers in my ETX15SP subs weigh over 19 lbs, with a NEO magnet they would weigh 10 lbs. When you start out with a 93 lb speaker, remove the casters, as the blue casters on the back of these beautiful speakers looks like butt anyway, you get down to 87 lbs, now cut the drive weight and you are around 77 lbs.

I will admit the weigh the cabinets are designed (measurements) they are very simple to handle with one arm, very heavy suitcase :)

The entire line has heavy drivers in them, once again, at this price point they could have used NEO.

As far as comparing the 15" two way top to the Evox8, they are not in the same class, first off unless you are going to use them stand alone, no sub, the 15" tops are the wrong speaker unless coupled with at least four 18" subs.

I only use 8" to 12" tops with subs, the smaller tops are more preferable.

lvmez 3:47 PM - 11 November, 2014

Which leads to the next question, which 15" speaker out there has great specs, weighs less and is in same price range?

I'm ordering the EVOX 8 next week but just curious what other 15" options are out there.

Taipanic 3:57 PM - 11 November, 2014

Would you say the top outruns the sub or are they pretty evenly matched. Do you think there would be a substantial improvement in the sound at volume (if playing bass heavier music) by adding a ZXa1 sub or two?

It would need to be 52 feet away which is not very practical and sometimes impossible depending on the room that you're in. But why bother when you can simply avoid the issue entirely by simply using a matching sub.

Joee 5:41 PM - 11 November, 2014

^ true…..but it can be done provided there not next to each other, i would never do it i want system uniformity plus why would you want to separate bass bins and lose the db increase of coupling subs

After using the ETX line for several months and many gigs, I will say EV should have used NEO magnets in these speakers at as high a price point as they sell at.

My drivers in my ETX15SP subs weigh over 19 lbs, with a NEO magnet they would weigh 10 lbs. When you start out with a 93 lb speaker, remove the casters, as the blue casters on the back of these beautiful speakers looks like butt anyway, you get down to 87 lbs, now cut the drive weight and you are around 77 lbs.

I will admit the weigh the cabinets are designed (measurements) they are very simple to handle with one arm, very heavy suitcase :)

The entire line has heavy drivers in them, once again, at this price point they could have used NEO.

This could have been a supply issue when they were being designed. I heard that JBL took out the Neo drivers from the STX line because of supply issues as China controls much of the production. Neo prices have tripled in the past few years.

Plus you the ETX are made in America which ultimately adds to the price.

definitely not as easy to carry you will need booth hands, but considering you'd be carrying your sub tops all wires and poles in one shot it's still something i would use

i carry my 70lbs 905's than still have to get my tops wires and stands…
they already have the platform for a 15" version @68 lbs check page 10

The Bose L1s may be taking a nose-dive in DJ sales with these Evox's in the ring. In the past, I would never really consider the Bose units because of the plastic toy subs and whole "Bose" thing (kind of like Beats). These Evox's definitely have my attention.

Yes because post gig I don't want to carry the coffin by myself. But that's a different story.

I'm not a gear whore like you guys. I don't need multiple systems. If I need it loud, I turn it up. If I need it lower I turn it down. Again this is probably great if you are not seeking bottom heavy sounds.

but take the yorkvile out of the equation & leave just your elx115p you will defiantly prefer the evox over your ev's

I'm seriously thinking about picking one up for next year's tailgating events. The ZXa5/LS800p combo is way overkill and not worth the time for setup/breakdown. I already have a ZXa1 sub though, so might pick up a pair of ETX10's instead.... or maybe both!

I have a pair of the ETX10P, they sound wonderful and get crazy loud when you cross then with the built in settings for the ETX15SP (which I run them with). I don't know what the crossover point is, but I am guessing it is around 120HZ.

Finally gonna use this thing tonight...I'll come back with my comparison to the bose l1+ Ksub.

I have a feeling the bose/ksub combo will be louder, as I can use that combo to play to 250 or so people effectively...but I think this will sound better. Gonna bring both my k8s to supplement...but there's only supposed to be 120 people tonight so we'll see if I need it.

IM really just weighing my option at the moment but yeah them yamahas are a beast at the end of the night but i love the sound.
Not interested in the yamaha subs too much weight for the performance they give.
My real issue is subs to go with the dsr's or micro system(hence my question about the vrx subs in the other thread) I'm leaning towards the micro system because i would rarely use the subs but would love to have a couple vrx subs
So what do u think a pair of vrx subs or a pair of evox 8

Joee 3:22 PM - 22 November, 2014

vrx sub all day, but if portability is what your looking for evox 8

DJ Michael Basic 7:20 PM - 22 November, 2014

So I was pretty impressed last night...not surprised after all the reviews here. As mentioned, I had to push it pretty hard...but I didn't end up using any other speakers.

A single Evox 8 was good for the 100ish person party. The bass was much better than the ksub. Obviously, the bose l1/ksub combo gets much louder, and the mids and highs are pretty comperable, but the portability of this blows that system away, and I've used that for its portability for years.

I'm still on the fence about getting a second one...I think for what I do, supplementing with 1 or 2 k8s will be fine for me, but I've gotta look at my finances and see if it makes sense for me to buy another one before the end of the year for writeoff purposes.

either way...I'm impressed

lvmez 7:31 PM - 22 November, 2014

Great review.

So would you say that a pair of EVOX 8 can handle 200 people?

deezlee 8:04 PM - 22 November, 2014

how wide is the dispersion on those? i got a l1 this year and the 180 degree dispersion can suck sometimes. if the speaker is close to you at all then it's like standing right in front of it all night. there's a reason that the mains are usually not pointing straight at the dj!

also, how do you add the k-sub? if i'm adding my sub, i send the signals through the sub first and then send the crossed over output from the sub to the l1/b2. i tried just putting the sub on the output from the l1 and it sounded crappy cause of the 2 subs putting out the same frequencies. i would like to use my sub instead of the b2, but i haven't figured out a way, because the l1 crosses over at 125 (i think) while my sub crosses over at 100.

thanks

Great review.

So would you say that a pair of EVOX 8 can handle 200 people?

I think so...for my use definitely...the majority of my mobile gigs are either weddings or college parties. The weddings tend not to require super duper loud booming setups (although I think a pair of these could do that) and the college parties, the kids are so drunk that as long as there is music, they are cool...however, last night the single evox handled the 100 people no problem...sounded great to me. I had the volume on the speaker itself at about 2 oclock and the main out on my 57 at about 3. My gains were all at 12 so I still had a little bit of headroom.

With my usual setup...I run my outputs into the ksub then from the ksub I go into the bose l1. I don't use the bose bass bins...they aren't worth the extra trips to the car. The bose is definitely much louder. I usually have the gains on the bose at around 10-11 oclock and the master out on my 57 at 12 oclock, however, if I try to push it anymore than that it doesn't sound great anymore. My guess is, 2 of the evox would be as loud as the bose, and I'd be able to push it more if I needed to. 1 evox already blows the bass of my bose/ksub setup out of the water so with 2 it'd be even better.

Also, I drive a lexus ct200 which is a hatchback but not as roomy as an suv or something, and the evox fits in there great...I could definitely fit 2 of them in there, and still have room for my coffin, a couple lights, my dj bag and a bag I'm now using for cables. I have a cart I'm bringing everything in on, but I'd have no problem carrying the evox a short distance in one hand. In a pinch I'd guess that I could carry 2 of them at once.

deezlee 9:18 PM - 22 November, 2014

thanks,
do you have a l1 model 1 or 2?
i have a model 2 and the crossover to the tower is 200khz and the k-sub only goes up to 134khz (my sub only goes up to 100khz) so it seems like i would be missing those frequencies unless i'm missing something?

/threadjack

re the evox8:

I think the 120 degree dispersion would be better that the 180 of the bose. 120 seems like enough to cover the crowd without it blasting in your ear.

and it seems like it would be easier to point it at the dance floor and not blast granny's ears at the back dinner table. i guess the smaller line array would help for that too with a little less throw then the bose.

i would probably sell the bose and get the evox8(s), but the bose gets hella props from every single wedding client based on the brand name alone. i thought that would happen when i got it but i didn't realize how much people really think bose is the best.

DJ Michael Basic 10:38 PM - 22 November, 2014

I have the l1 model 1. Not sure how low it goes, but I've never had an issue where the music felt hollow or I felt like, Damn, I'm missing that 65hz. The only place anything felt lacking was the low end because the ksub kind of sucks.

As for the props from the bose...I find that most of the comments are less about the brand and more about the coolness of a tall thin stick putting out so much sound. I think the evox is equally cool looking and I expect to get the same type of reaction to it from those types of clients.

Still...the majority of my gigs are club gigs...mobile isn't my main thing so your experience might be very different than mine.

yeah and the people who love them are the high paying wedding clients. even more then i thought they would. like they get pumped about bose.

lvmez 5:27 PM - 5 December, 2014

Just did to corporate events back to back nights using the EVOX 8. First party was only 75 people in numerous rooms. Didn't really get a chance to test them out. They sounded crisp.

Last night I did an event for 275 people. This was a corporate event with not a lot of dancing and when there was dancing it was 75-100 tops.

They sounded GREAT!. Very full sound. I received a lot of compliments. They responded great to the EQ on my Rane Sixty-Four too.

Overall I am very pleased.

I forgot to mention that sounded even better while using the microphone. There were a few speeches and they were impressive.

GoHoos 5:52 AM - 7 December, 2014

So I got them a few weeks ago, but I was out of country for 3 weeks between wedding and holiday party season ... tonight was gig #1 with the EVOX speakers.

I decided to live on the wild side and use them for a 500 person event when I wasn't quite sure if they had the juice -- a college party in a hotel ballroom. The dance floor was HUGE -- at least 50 X 50, and I'd estimate at least 250-300 on the dance floor at any given time. I walked around to the back and they were coming through loud and clear.

Not only that but I had one of the kids come up to me and say "I'm a DJ, what the F*** are those?!? They are so loud and so small."

I'm quite confident they'll be able to cover 99% of my events as I do mostly weddings. The only thing I'm not going to use them for will be the huge events in places like the national building museum (link: www.nbm.org).

Best of all, I was set up in 20 minutes and out of there in about 12 minutes... These speakers are winners.

Joee 2:54 PM - 7 December, 2014

^ very cool……… would you say you were pushing them to there limit point? seems like it was a big event

GoHoos 3:32 PM - 7 December, 2014

Just kissing the limit lights very occasionally. I'm not terribly familiar with RCF's limiting, and didn't know how aggressive (or not) it is.

That said, it was definitely about the upper limit for a pair of these guys. A little more bass wouldn't have killed anyone, but it was still very musical and not too weak by any means.

JDforKing 3:36 PM - 7 December, 2014

So the only real benefit of a system like this is having a light and extremely portable set up. Joe do you still have your rcf fd12s and the 905 sub? Have you ever compared the single 905 with the fd12 tops to the evoxx8 system?

Well yeah, but show me a speaker under $2k that can handle a 1000 person party with just a single pair of them?

lvmez 5:50 PM - 7 December, 2014

I think 500 persons is over doing it. I wouldn't recommend more than 200-220. For corporate events, 275.

These are great for mobile DJ's who normally do not carry subs. These are great replacements for those who just use 15"'s. Just be prepared to spend a little more than your average 15". The weight is a huge plus.

I would agree in your standard square-ish room with 500 people dancing. My event last night was in a rectangular room with the right (from my perspective) half the room set up as dance floor and the left half set up as bar/buffet. The back wall was only about 10-12' from the back of the dance floor--which again, held about 200+ with I'd guess another 50-75 people on the outside of the actual wood dance floor but still dancing. I walked around to the back myself ... despite the drunk, yelling college students and packed dance floor, the sound carried to the back beautifully.

As far as being replacements for 15's, I think you're about right, but there's definitely more bass than most 15's I've heard on sticks--part of which is going to be due to the subs being on the floor that's no real "fault" of the speakers. I'd liken the output to 2 K12's and a single KW181 roughly, though with some more clarity at the limits. The price point on the QSC rig will be closer to about $2200 street price vs ~$2800 street price on the Evox, so it's more economical, but the speed to set up the Evox rig and the weight savings in not moving a 90lb sub in and out of the car makes it worth it to me. Not to mention the aesthetic. They simply fit in tighter places, for one, and I know some of my pickier wedding planner clients will like the fact that they make less of a visual impact.

I can fit my CDJ coffin, 2 of these guys, 2-3 more Bose L1 compacts for ceremony + cocktails, plus my cable bin in my ML350 no problem. More traditional speakers and subs means renting a van for me, which means -$80 per gig--not an earth shattering amount, but for, say, 10-12 gigs per year that would otherwise require it, it becomes real money, and more than makes up the aforementioned price difference in a single year.

You could also just use a regular old analog 2 way crossover. You'd have to tweak the EQ a good bit, too, I'd think, but It's possible if you want a lot of sub-bass in the 25-60Hz area.

Given the rack of (at least) crossover + EQ you now need to bring, you're starting to not be so compact anymore and losing a lot of the benefit of the Evox. In that case, you may as well just save the money and get a traditional sub-satellite set up...

deezlee 7:43 PM - 8 December, 2014

if yer sub has a crossed over through/out. then you can run the signal through the sub first and then to the EVOX's.

raedonquan 11:08 PM - 8 December, 2014

looking at $2700 is a big hit concidering what else you can buy for that much..... as the enticement of the portablity is there to justify the price.... and if a person wanted scale abilty to add a sub.

That crossover point is likely to be higher than you'd want for Evox pairing as the built in crossover is designed for a 2-way top speaker -- not a sub-satellite system. I think you'd want a standalone crossover to be able to customize the crossover point and slope to take advantage of the gear you have.

Thats why i recomended this because
Dbx driverack pa2

He could choose the 2way crossover for the qscksub setting. Then custom edit the crossover for the highs to full out basically flat. And for the subs low frenquency dial them down to 80hz for a 15inch sub and between 45 to 75hz for a18inch sub and under 45hz for a 21inch sub. Then connect the evox to the highs output on the driverack and the subs on the lows output. Then eq the evox channel and the sub channels f you need more bass

I don't understand why you guys are trying to rig that system to do things it's not designed to do. It's set up a certain way for a purpose. The tops are tuned specifically to the bottoms. If you are looking for more bass then this system is clearly not for you. Get a sub.

The ability to do something doesn't make it a good idea... that's what the internet is for, right?

Either way, for most folks the pricing on the Evox is a major investment, so looking into the full limitations of the system is worthwhile--particularly if they have some conventional subs laying around already. Additionally, the top speakers are not specifically "tuned" in any way that makes them usable in a 2-way system but not a 3-way system... that's complete bunk and sounds something like what the new guy at Guitar Center might say to a customer that doesn't know any better.

To paraphrase Rasheed Wallace, "SPL meter don't lie."

rayjthedj 12:21 AM - 12 December, 2014

SPL meter is only as good as the person setting up the rig and the person running the test, oh and I forgot the quality of the meter.

I tested my KW181 against my EV-ETX15SP and my ears and my SPL meter told me the 15" sub won. Of course if you look at the manufacturers (measured) specs and freq response charts for the two subs, the little EV wins there also.

I have not had the privilege to listen to the JBL, but they are a good manufacturer, I have many sets of their home and recording studio speakers, but prefer EV as my go to equipment for my DJ work.

I sold off all my QSC stuff, not that it was bad stuff, it is really over priced, but because ETX just crushed it sound wise. I go for a very clear and powerful sound, no boom, thud, (which QSC has until you ask it to operate in the top 75% of its operating range) why I don't own Yorkies either (BIG BOOM THUD). I hit my teen dances hard with bass, but it is crystal clear and tight :)

southernplayalisticaddilacmuzik 5:01 PM - 16 December, 2014

One of the longest threads that has actually kept my attention. Well done. lol

Great info, reviews, input, etc! Couple of comments/questions because I'm VERY interested in the Evox8 thanks to this post. Wife's not too happy btw. lol!

1) I do like the portability of the Evox8, however, where do you guys DJ that have all these stairs? I've DJ'd weddings in KC for 10 years and every single venue I've ever DJ'd at either has ramps or elevators. Bump that stairs mess. lol
2) My typical speaker setup for weddings is 2 K12s and 2 KW181. Sounds great and has enough bump for my receptions which are usually in mid size rooms, relatively speaking. Sometimes I only take 1 sub if it's a small venue. Which brings up another point. I usually go by venue size not guest count when deciding what system to use. Just wondering why so many people on here are mentioning head count when talking about if this system is adequate. Anyways, I always take a cart and/or place my turntable coffins, light poles, speaker poles, wire bags, moving heads, etc, either on the cart or on the subs(with covers of course), and then you know...just rooooll them suckas right in. So although relatively speaking my system is much heavier than the Evox 8 system, I'm not really carrying anything in and out of venues...more like rolling them in.
3) So that being said, my concern without being able to hear this system in person is...drum roll please....will the minor upgrade in portability FOR ME in my situation where I have ramps and elevators everywhere I go, be worth what seems to be a down grade overall in sound? And to that comment, is it a downgrade in overall sound?

Anyways, sorry for being a little all over the place with the comments/questions. Just throwing thoughts out there.

lvmez 5:22 PM - 16 December, 2014

If you do not mind carrying your set up, then do not switch. I think you would be very happy with the sound of the EVOX 8 but you already have a versitile set up.

What setup are you replacing with the Evox 8 Ivmez?

Joee 5:55 PM - 16 December, 2014

i'll say it again as i said many times…….the only reason to look at the evox 8 is portability!!!!!!!

southernplayalisticaddilacmuzik 6:03 PM - 16 December, 2014

Thanks Joee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bam, more exclamations than you. lol

Yeah Joe I get that, but since portability is relative, I thought I'd mention my exact setup and see what you guys thought about if with my particular situation you would still suggest the Evox 8. Also, I hadn't heard anyone compare sound with 2 K12 and a KW 181 on here unless I missed it and it was hiding somewhere in the 325 comments.

raedonquan 6:24 PM - 16 December, 2014

If I'm correct.. The evox will sound better than most powered 15.... in its self a system....
Thus the reason to for this type of system..

The obvious is the k12 and the 181 will be louder.. There is no comparison when the sub is an 18 but that system is not portable to me.
And when cranked the k12 's get harsh.

The evox doesn't need a stand... No extras to set it up...

Vocally the evox will be clearer cause of the line array.

If you see no need for this set up then you keep your qsc

The past 5 gigs had me going upstairs.... So the evox would make my life easier

southernplayalisticaddilacmuzik 6:38 PM - 16 December, 2014

Maybe I'm just a closet gear whore just waiting for someone to push me over that line to be like, yup I definitely NEED that. Lol!

One aspect I can look at is for those receptions on a Friday that are less likely to book(as opposed to Saturdays where I'm booked strong through Aug 2015) so I'm more willing to negotiate price, I can look at a system like this where I'm not really compromising quality but can bring this Evox system for those couples who are on a little tighter budget? Cause yeah even though I can roll pretty much everything in, set up and tear down could always be quicker/easier.

Evox tighter budget... You know what you can get for $ 3000...

The evox is perfect for the no obtrusive type wedding... Where the bride wants you to be practically invisible to the decor... So charge accordingly...

southernplayalisticaddilacmuzik 7:05 PM - 16 December, 2014

Yeah it's not cheap. What I meant was that when I charge $1500 for DJ services alone, couples expect a certain boom for their buck, so to speak. Not saying that's a right way to look at it, but they don't know any better. I could never show up for a $1500 reception with just 2 K12s. They expect more for their money, amongst other things of course. But for a reception where they only have $950, I can bring the Evox system and not compromise sound and still sound better than just bringing 2 K12 because we always have to keep in mind that there is a room of potential couples at every reception.

I guess it's something I can live without based on what I already have but it would definitely be nice to have in the arsenal. Maybe this will motivate me to sell the 2 QSC KW153 beasts that I have that I rarely use any more. Tough to find a buyer for those things even though they are pretty damn awesome.

I have been very intrigued by the EVOX8 set up. Personnel they only have two things going against them for my use:

If you buy a pair they are meant to to always fly the tops over the subs, I never split my subs, I always find a way to make good sound and aesthetics work in the venue and I have yet to be at an event (below concert level) that split subs sounded good. Lots of people try and talk their selves into thinking it sounds OK, but it doesn't.

I have to many options with my EV rigs and I am guessing that a pair of ETX10P tops and a single ETX15SP will out perform the EVOX8. I will have to guess as nobody in my area has any plans of stocking the EVOX8.

I was playing at an event this past Saturday, I was in a medium size convention center room, with around 500 people. I was using a pair of ETX10P tops spread 30' and a pair of ETX15P subs stacked in the center (backed up to the wall, with 8" of clearance to the wall). There was a wedding reception going on in the same center, the DJ had a pair of K12's on poles over a pair of KW181's, spread about 12'.

His gig lasted about 2 hours and mine went on for 3.5. He came in after he loaded out and wanted to look at my equipment and asked a few questions. He was a young guy and has only been doing this for a couple of years. He could not believe how good my stuff sounded once he found out what I was using. He said "you are using smaller tops and subs than me and your sound crushes mine". He asked me how I got so much deep tight bass out of 15" subs. We had a long conversation on how to use subs, crossovers and speaker placement. He said I put my tops on poles over the subs because that is what all the wedding DJs I have seen do, and until tonight, I thought my stuff rocked. We then had the fatherly conversation with the if everyone else jumped off the cliff would you :)

He was a great young man and I didn't mind at all helping him out as I don't DJ to make a living. So I don't consider the local DJs my competition. He did hook an old guy up with some better mix combos on some of the newer music. He new I only play clean music, no matter who the customer is and had some good track suggestions that would rock some of the younger folk, without getting dirty :)

No one is trying to compare the EVOX 8 to a pair of 12's and subs. They are a great replacement for a pair of good 15"'s. A pair of EVOX 8 is better than a pair of EV ETX15P's.

It depends what you are looking for. I do mostly 100-150 people parties. It works perfect for me.

Have to agree with you there, almost any system with a sub sounds better than stand alone tops. I did a gig this weekend, not the one above, but on Friday night. There were four gigs going on in this one building, with three DJs. We were all instructed by the venue than we could not bring any subs. I had to play with my Yamaha DXR15 tops. I was lucky the size of my room and the acoustics, I was able to get adequate volume and still get good frequency response, the other DJs had the bigger halls with concrete floors and block walls, they did not enjoy no subs.

Are you comparing sound quality or output levels? Spec wise the 15P stomps all over the Evox 8. 135db vs 128db. I know these are paper numbers but EV is somewhat reliable in their ratings.

Joee 9:16 PM - 16 December, 2014

lets be realistic here & compare apples to apples, it has been said that one evox 8 sub sounds better than a k sub with it's two 12" drivers

so two evox 8 subs will sound better than two k sub with it's combined four 12" drivers

do the two evox 8 subs sound better than one kw181? i don't know, i do not own a kw181

southernplayalisticaddilacmuzik 9:16 PM - 16 December, 2014

Fair enough. But if I'm a guest at a reception who knows no better because all I see are speakers and I'm standing on the dance floor and listen to 5 different genres of music at low/mid/high volumes on both the kw153s and the Evox 8s, which would I be more impressed with?

The second thing is the large quantity of EV-ETX I already have, that is as easy to use and sounds so great.

Don't get me wrong, I really would like to hear the system, and being a gear whore, I could accidentally buy it, however nobody in the area will try stocking it.

You can hear every bit of that 44 lb 10" top. It gets really loud and stays crystal clear even with the limiters steadily flashing. I listened to several 10" tops and nothing came close to them.

Until they can make speakers with carbon fiber to get the weight down, you won't get the sound out of plastic speakers that you get out of a quality wood cabinet.

Not that their are not good and loud plastic cabinets.

I keep hearing that rumor, and as many in the forum that have bought them and are happy with them, I believe it. When Sam Ash or GC in Nashville, bite the bullet and get some in, I will go listen for myself.

I keep 3-5K always available in the gear fund (20% I put back from each gig), so if they get them in, the gear fund could take a hit :)

Joee 10:15 PM - 16 December, 2014

heres the review the guy did with a spl meter

Quote:

OK so I was just starting to play around with them when the neighbors complained. I did convince them to let me do 2 more speakers really quick to at least get a number for all 3 models I brought.

So at 30' with a $70 SPL meter (nothing too fancy but not a POS), I tested the DXR 12, the ETX 15-P and the EVOX 8. I did it all with the Martin Solveig song "Hello" and pushed each speaker to where the limit light was juuuuust blinking, so IMO a speaker like the EV with a very aggressive limiter might be at a small disadvantage here.

The loudest of the bunch by far was the DXR 12. It hit 98.5dB at 30' away outside.

The ETX 15-P hit 96.4 dB at the exact same distance and sounded an indescribable amount cleaner.

Lastly, I tested the EVOX.

The EVOX 8 hit 95.1 dB at that distance.

In terms of sound quality, the EV and RCF blew the Yamaha out of the water. The Yamaha was ear splitting loud but so harsh that it was difficult to listen to. Honestly, if you're pushing that speaker to the limit light, your clients aren't going to be your biggest fans unless they're hammered.

I preferred the EV ever so slightly to the RCF in terms of overall sound--it was just a touch warmer and the vocals sounded a little more natural (which seems weird for a recorded song, but I feel like I'm on the right track here), but it could be that it was with absolutely ZERO EQ, and that if I had some time to play around, I might prefer the RCF? The bass response between the ETX and the RCF was very similar such that I couldn't discern a difference. I had a few tracks lined up to test bass, but was pre-empted.

Basically, if you want people to leave your gig with their ears hurting, you could do a lot worse for the price than the DXR 12. It was loud. The RCF seems like it should allow me to play basically anything I could play with just the EV ETX 15's which is most weddings I'm going to work.

I wish I had a K12 to test, but the last pair I have in stock was rented out on an emergency basis this morning, so that was a no go.

Overall, I'm pleased with the RCF and I'll follow up after a real gig.

2) My typical speaker setup for weddings is 2 K12s and 2 KW181. Sounds great and has enough bump for my receptions which are usually in mid size rooms, relatively speaking. Sometimes I only take 1 sub if it's a small venue. Which brings up another point. I usually go by venue size not guest count when deciding what system to use. Just wondering why so many people on here are mentioning head count when talking about if this system is adequate.

I too find it a bit weird but I've come to understand that a lot of these guys are wedding dj's and only concern themselves with the dance floor head count and not the venues capacity limit. There are also mobile dj's who are minimalist when it come to sound systems while others like me prefer big sound.

A lot is also base on regional differences, for example a user here once asked me......

"Why do you need so many subs, I could do the same party of 250 people with just 2 qsc k12's and no subs and everybody would be perfectly happy" (or something close to that statement)

Where im from and the type of clientele that look to hire me would immediately FIRE me if I showed up with just 2 k12's on a stick because they want to feel the Club experience. The system in my sig is rated for a 500 person venue but I will still use the full set for just 200. Now in some regions that may be considered Overkill but where im form its preferred.

This is probably regiinal. Aside from the clients in my area there is also the issue with the venue themselves. I am asked almost weekly to turn down my system because of complaints from the party next to mine or hotel guests trying to sleep. And this is when I'm running a single KV2 top and sub per side. These are weddings I'm performing at though.

Taipanic 5:26 PM - 17 December, 2014

Just like any other tool in the DJ arsenal the Evox8 serves a specific purpose and fills a specific need. Smaller, wedding type events, ceremony & speaking events, background music, etc... I plan to pick up one to use for tailgating parties next year instead of lugging the LS800/ZXa5 system out, which is overkill for those events. Less to carry, quicker breakdown are the plusses without sacrificing sound quality. Still plan to use the club level sound system for most events though but I like to provide that level of sound to my clients.
Yes, this system will work for most wedding type events. It will not provide the sound of a 18" sub/top combo but for many events it will be just fine. If you're the guy who thinks having subs at events is not worth the effort of carrying them in then this will be an upgrade in your sound. If low weight and ease of setup are that important to you this is a quality product in that category. It is what it is and nothing more...

raedonquan 1:44 PM - 21 December, 2014

picked up one of the evox yesturday at 4pm... the store owner wanted to have a listen and was surprised about the size and output of the speaker.... basically had everyone in the store in total amazement about the size and sound

3hrs later at the venue room is round 20" ceilings and 3/4's of the room is glass windows view of the Manhattan skyline. i had the evox at full height gain knob at 12 o'clock. it was a mostly spanish music crowd for the night.

it was so easy to setup it was a joke how fast i was done setting up

the evox performed excellent sounded better than my zlx12p and zxa1 sub combo.... i didnt get to even see the limit light hit once and it was pretty much loud clear and clean... the bass thumped strong.

.....yes my wallet hurt ......but the size and performance and total ease of setup won me over

As you have both, you should do some tests with them together in an event sized room and outside, if possible. It would be good to get your opinion on how this system sounds with extra bottom end. If the subs don't match sonically than that is equally important to know. Seems a lot of people will be picking the Evox8 up as their main system, not just a secondary, smaller system so while you might not normally mix & match subs, people are going to do it anyways so it would be nice to get some real feedback on how the combo sounds.

I'm not seeing this as a good idea (Evox 8 + real subs) and here's why:

If your standard powered sub is playing up to 100Hz, your Evox 'sub' is expected to perform at 100Hz and higher. This should allow it to perform even better as it is no longer burdened with the low-end frequencies; however, the Evox was designed to sit on the floor and has that extended pole leading to the vocal array portion. If your Evox is on the floor, the base part's vocal frequencies are sort of negated; a good portion of their 100Hz and greater vocal frequencies will be entertaining your feet. What sense does that make?

Now if you can get the Evox in the air (ie: on a stage or on top of your subs) you're somewhat in business. Your subs will still have to be tall enough so the Evox's base portion won't get muffled by bodies on the dance floor. Overall, it's not designed to be used this way...

Taipanic 4:26 PM - 22 December, 2014

Quote:

I agree but I think some people will do it anyways, just as a lot of peeps run the Bose System with different subs. If you have the ability, it wouldn't be a bad idea to try a couple of subs out with them and see how it actually does sound. I'm not saying it would sound good but it would be helpful, real world data to have archived on the Forum. If it sounds like crap, then you probably will save at least one person $1k+ to figure that out themselves.

Joee 6:28 PM - 22 December, 2014

i think if someone is buying a evox 8 system & adding additional subs to it, obviously it's not the right system for them

do not try to turn it into a system it just wasn't meant to be & if you carrying additional subs than why even bother with the evox 8…..now your system is no longer convenient defeating the purpose of the evox 8

ONCE AGAIN!! If you are in the market for the EVOX 8 it is because you are looking for portability, replacing 15" quality speakers(no sub) and do up to 200 person parties.

It would be ridiculous to spend $2800 on a pair of EVOX 8 and be concerned about using a sub with it.

Go and buy a totally different system.

Don, I think you would LOVE the Evox 8 system for what you do. Since you're used to the FBT stuff, I'm sure you'd really appreciate the RCF (both Italian speaker makers). I had a pair of the Pro Maxx 14a's and I can tell you, the Evox system will give you a great, well-rounded sound. And, the top speakers weigh next to nothing. Let us know if you take the plunge!

I think you mean the K/KW's get pretty harsh. From what I remember, the QSC HPR's were pretty well mannered up high and near clipping. This is contrary to the K/KW's that replace them. They sound great at low to medium-high volumes but any more and you can hear the breakups/limiting.

DJ GaFFle 1:52 PM - 27 December, 2014

In direct comparison... the HPR's sound warmer overall with their class A/B amps. The K/KW series sound more ice-picky overall with their class D digital amps and lighter enclosures. IMO

Thanks for the input y'all. Yeah the hprs sound way better than the k series. I don't have experience w higher end speakers but the hprs sound better than the other powered speakers I come across like mackies and such. The hprs have been good to me for sure. I also have a Bose l1 m2 w/ b2 that I use for smaller gigs and situations that benefit from the line array (dinner cocktails speeches). I'm thinking that I could replace them both and simplify my equipment by using the Evox for both situations. Makes me want to slap a Bose logo on the evox's cause the ballers love to see the Bose.

Anyone compare the exox to the ld maui systems? See ms like less power.

www.ld-systems.com

desmorider 1:19 AM - 28 December, 2014

evox. sorry

raedonquan 1:44 AM - 28 December, 2014

ld maui 28 compares to the evox in price range... $1299

the maui 44 is in a different price range $2999 for one

so 2 ld 28 is $2600 msrp

2 evox8 is $3600 msrp

2 maui are $6000 msrp..

i would think the winner would be the evox based on spec and the dollar factor

raedonquan 1:46 AM - 28 December, 2014

and before i got the evox LD, HK and Bose were on my list

Don Niles DJ 12:03 PM - 28 December, 2014

There are also similar systems from Dawn and Fender...I have eliminated both from consideration as I have Bose...I am seriously interested in 2008...I have been quoted about $3,200 for a pair...Of course I would love it if someone could do better than that.

Don Niles DJ 12:04 PM - 28 December, 2014

comparing a $300 speaker to a $1799 speaker ah come on now...

buy 5 of those $300 speakers and the evox will still spank it.

on behringers defense the x32 is a monster.... only thing i would buy or maybe that new ipad mixer like the QSC one

I don't care for Behringer, but I do have two of their small Shark Feedback destroyers. They fit in my mixers cases perfect and have some very useful gain, feedback and delay adjustments, for a small unit less than $99.00.

Justdee 2:05 PM - 31 December, 2014

I tested a pair of these systems out in a large room for about one hour, and I found the subwoofer too loud compared to the tops, I really wanted this system but couldn't believe that RCF didn't put a level controller on the subwoofer.
I use an RCF 902 sub with my main front of house system and I love RCF products and have owned a few of the line arrays down through the years including Bose L1, LD Maui 28 and 11 and always went back to conventional speakers but was really excited with the announcement of the Evox system thinking this was the one to lead the pack, but by leaving a level controller off the sub unit killed it for me

raedonquan 3:07 PM - 31 December, 2014

You can't adjust the top and bottom levels on any quality powered speakers on sticks; use your EQ to get the tonal balance you're seeking. The Evox 8 is just a specific alternative to powered speakers on sticks.

Maybe I'm hearing you wrong but you can separately adjust the sub and top levels on almost every powered speaker system I've used? From the Qsc kw, Jbl prx, Ev elx, zxa and etx, RCF TT+ etc.?!

..or are you solely referring to the evox8 "array and sub in one" style. (and ones that piggy back off the sub like the b52 matrix system)?

Yes the evox is equivalent to a two way speaker... So bass mid and treble controls on your mixer is the only way to adjust

What I mean by adjusting the bottom and top level is being able to adjust the volume of the top speaker and sub woofer separately. And on the Evox system there is no separate volume on the sub if you wanted to turn it down. Where as the LD Maui systems allowed you to do this.

Gotcha... my point is, one would purchase an Evox 8 as an alternative to say a typical powered 2-way top. When you have a powered 2-way top, you don't have the ability to adjust the level of the horn and low drivers individually so why should you expect to on the Evox?

I get your point though because Maui's have that feature. I feel I wouldn't miss this on an Evox if I owned one. I'd just use EQ to adjust bass/high levels accordingly.

lefthandbass 8:49 AM - 13 January, 2015

How do these compare to the RCF HD12/32 in terms of sound quality & bass extension? I was about to buy a HD12 because it seems like frequency response is super transparent & the low end goes really deep for a 12", but then the RCL rep I spoke to recommended the EVOX for my application (key bass — I need musical sub-bass along with uncolored mids & highs) so I just placed an order yesterday. However, looking at the frequency response chart of the EVOX 8 I'm wondering if I made the right choice…the whole spectrum is not as even and the bass drops off at 60Hz instead of 50Hz. Anyone have experience with both of these systems?

I bought a used pair of FBT Pro Maxx 14A's in 2012 because they were supposed to deliver the best bass and overall sound of any Speaker on a Stick...But they still have to be lifted on to stands which I have to get help for...This gets old after a while...It is a no brainer for me...I will be purchasing the Evox 8...It's just a matter of when? March it will probably be...But maybe sooner.

djattila 2:58 PM - 13 January, 2015

You all talk about this ish like the way people talked about sliced bread when it came out. At ease folks .

Don Niles DJ 3:00 PM - 13 January, 2015

There are also the FBT Evo Maxx 4A's which at 28 pounds would be manageable by myself...But now a pair is at minimum $1,800 plus bags...So not much under $2,000.

djattila 3:01 PM - 13 January, 2015

As far as your people buying on just reading and not listening. It don't spund that great .its avarage at best. For what you get its over priced

Don Niles DJ 3:08 PM - 13 January, 2015

That could very well be...People buying this system are wanting for the simplicity and lightweight ease of set up and tear down...That in itself makes it worth the price for at least a few if not many.

as for pricing, it's well worth it to me ease of transport weight fast setup

Coming from someone that used to hauled around speakers in the 80 90 ... There are far better options as far as sound quality there are better options at that price point... The Yamaha stuff the Ev stuff...

like what? i think your wrong..there is no portable light weight option from either that beats the evox remember we are talking about 50lbs

zxa1/zxa1 sub? the evox & beats that evox beats the zlx15p

the yamaha dxs12 sub is 70lbs the dxf 8 is 30lbs….that a 100lbs system

take it from the first person to actually buy the evox 8 a soon as it hit usa, you will be happy don't listen to the_black_one aka mastermind aka djattila aka luis heat or what ever he wants to call him self these days…he has too many profile to keep track

I will say it again. These speakers are not for everyone. If you are looking for BIG sound like (2) 12" tops and (2) 18" subs sound than this isn't for you. These are a perfect replacement for 15" tops. These will sound better than any 15" tops out there(with no sub).

For the price average price of $1500 they are great. they can't be beat for reason like: mobility, sound quality & looks.

(2) EVOX 8 Vs. (2) 15" tops. The EVOX will win every time. You can not get the get bass from a 15" top that you will get from a EVOX.

I have pushed them at 250 person party and they did not sound harsh at all.

*Another point to make is that if you were looking for a $799 (15") speaker than you were never in this class to begin with. If you are were looking at the 15" EV ETX ($1299), then forget about those speakers and get these.

there are much better options than the evox 8 according to him you can find better from ev & yamaha

my opinion is he's WRONG….there is no better 50lbs system out there that i know of

don't pay that guy no mind heres clearly is in the minority when it comes to the evox 8 opinions

99% of owners love it there was one guy that didn't like the fact you couldn't control the volume on the top cab independently

but besides that all of us evox 8 owners love them,there a great box

The turbosound are 1000 watt and the RCF Evox 8 is 1400 watt.

wattage is an unreliable spec in the speaker world and should never be used as a determining factor. It's pretty much standard practice for manufacturers to lie a bout wattage for marketing purposes in hopes that the consumer is not smart enough to know and be swayed by the fabricated numbers.

They never post the pertinent specs that will really tell you how a speaker will perform.

Taipanic 6:18 PM - 28 January, 2015

Looks like the IP2000 will have a street price of $799. I'd be interested in hearing one at that price point. I'm sure it's not as loud as the Evox8 but if the sound quality is there, it might fill my needs for this type of equipment. Definitely like the BT, Klark Teknik processing, and IPad mixing capability.

Hey Guys, Great thread and very informative for people like me who were looking to purchase something like this. I thought I would share my views for any of you that were looking to use this pa for bands as well.

I have just come from my UK store where I went to demo one of the units (Evox 8) and planned on getting one. I play in a 4 piece funk and soul band with a little DJ spot occasionally for after gigs.

First off the Evox 8 sounded fantastic, it blew the Bose system out of the water in almost all regards. I would be perfectly happy using two of these units together and they are ridiculously light and compact.

A already own two DXR10's which I am a big fan of. I was considering selling them and replacing them which the evox system if It was worth it. I love the idea of this light system, who enjoys carrying heavy subs up stairs!

For me it was a decision between keeping my DXR10's and adding yamaha's DXS12 sub or swap to the evox system. I did a good A B test on both set ups and have to say without doubt the DXS12 sub was a better sub. Louder, hard hitting and I was seriously impressed with the bass on a 12 inch sub. Don't get me wrong the Evox was good but it couldn't quite keep up. I know that the Yamaha 3 speaker set up is not strictly the same but it is a great compact alternative for those of you looking for a slightly harder hitting set up.

Also Yamaha's speakers come with a 7 year warranty which is great. Either way both set ups kick ass but sometimes a little extra weight is worth it for the low end (obviously not 18 inch subs, too heavy).

First off the Evox 8 sounded fantastic, it blew the Bose system out of the water in almost all regards. I would be perfectly happy using two of these units together and they are ridiculously light and compact.

What about this little guy?

A already own two DXR10's which I am a big fan of. I was considering selling them and replacing them which the evox system if It was worth it. I love the idea of this light system, who enjoys carrying heavy subs up stairs!

For me it was a decision between keeping my DXR10's and adding yamaha's DXS12 sub or swap to the evox system. I did a good A B test on both set ups and have to say without doubt the DXS12 sub was a better sub. Louder, hard hitting and I was seriously impressed with the bass on a 12 inch sub. Don't get me wrong the Evox was good but it couldn't quite keep up. I know that the Yamaha 3 speaker set up is not strictly the same but it is a great compact alternative for those of you looking for a slightly harder hitting set up.

Also Yamaha's speakers come with a 7 year warranty which is great. Either way both set ups kick ass but sometimes a little extra weight is worth it for the low end (obviously not 18 inch subs, too heavy).

Very informative and definitely what I was waiting to hear about. Looks like I am exploring other options.

I've never heard the dxs 12 i have heard the dxs 15 vs the rcf sub 705-as……the rcf won

i did a gig in a good size hall this weekend with one evox, it did the job and then some you should wait till you hear it for yourself to decide

dj_soo 8:13 AM - 30 January, 2015

did you compare 2 EVOX8s to a pair of DXR10s and a DXS12 or just a single EVOX?

The big difference is that the DXS12 is 72 lbs and the DXR10s are 32 lbs each vs the EVOX8 which weighs 50 lbs each. So that's an additional 35 lbs for the DXR/DXS combo.

On top of that, the tops of the EVOX slot into the sub when not used so where the DXS/DXR combo would require 2 trips (given you don't have a handtruck), 2 EVOX8s can be carried in one trip.

I think the main appeal of the EVOX8 is the portability and lightness vs a more robust but heavier and less easy to transport system while maintaining good sound and good output.

smusic 10:58 AM - 30 January, 2015

I only had the chance to compare one evox 8 system. I agree that it is a great concept with two units in one, and only a single trip for both units is great. I haven't even ruled out getting two myself for another rig if I expand.

The other consideration for some is of course price. You would diffidently need two evox systems which will set you back £2400 before you add the £100 bags on top which is a must in my opinion.

The Yamaha 2 x dxr10 plus dxs12 will cost you £1420. Saving you £730 which is a big deal.

So I opted at this time to go with the slightly heaver system (still only two trips and light) which to my ears sounded better with better bass. And pocket some cash for other items.

At the end of the day anyone on here can talk about specs etc but always go and listen to them in action and make your own mind up what's right. I was sold on the evox 8 before listening to one but when comparing to other units I realised that I was forgetting about the most important thing and that's how it sounds to my ears. In this case the weight was worth it.

It's a great time to buy a compact powered system and there are many good combinations you can get including the evox which I doubt anyone would ever regret buying.

pretty much agree 100% with what you said, i don't think there in the same class, size wise maybe…..but two evox 8 100 pounds were two dxr10/dxs12 200lbs

i can carry both evox in one trip you will need to make three trips with the dxr if you have a cart it doesn't really matter ,but for easy transport setup/breakdown time the evox wins

@smusic

did you compare one dxs12/dxr10 to one evox 8 or was it one or two dxs12 with two dxr10

pikeyh 2:46 PM - 30 January, 2015

Hi Guys, Not a Dj but worked on the live music circuit for more than 25 years, anyways here's my take on things if anyone is interested. I posted this comment on the Trinity prod you tube review..
Ok Tried this today in a fairly large room about 100 ft long x 35 ft wide, this will sit about 200/250 my first thoughts...wow...this is a room filler, tried it with different types of music inc rock/acoustic,electro and smooth jazzy type stuff, this system really gets loud and stays clear right till the limit light kicks in, tried it with backing tracks and voice, again wow, crystal clear, i come from a background oh high end systems, Nexo etc. cant believe this output from these small top boxes, now i think the bass/tops are perfectly balanced for this type of thing (as above) It is being billed as a live music system, now ok i can see that it could do this in a small situation and where you did not need that much of kick and bass guit to to fed in but i feel that it would not be man enough in a real life rock/pop scenario and would need some augmentation on the bottom end as when i was at the rear of the venue the tops were still clear as day but the 12 sub did not carry, this is not a criticism, just getting to realize its limitations, I am sure there will be an evox10/12 system with 15 sub (maybe 1k each and matching top boxes to suit, under 70 lbs in weight) in the near future that will fill the gap between the next system up (nx L24a and 8004 sub) if this does come it will be a one stop for great sounding really full range system. i will conclude by saying after hearing what this can do i would put it up there with the nexo ps 10 system mk1 with sub and maybe a little behind the R2 nexo system with sub, bearing in mind the nexo system is passive weighs a good deal more and costs nearly 3 times this (with correct three way amping) great stuff. thanks Trinity prod's you guys were pretty accurate in your review, c'mon rcf deal us the next evox system, you got 1 customer here with cash in hand.. Just my 5 penneth worth. thanks. Ade

@Joee

I compared one dxs12 with the dxr tops against the Evox 8. The tops on both are equally impressive. I tried both systems out at different volumes with different genres of music etc.

I just couldn't ignore that the bass on the dxs12 carried allot further and had more of an impact, very much like what @pikeyh has spoken more about above. The Evox was well rounded but not hard hitting.

I too think that the next system if achieved even better subs and remained lightweight would be my go to system.

pikeyh 4:09 PM - 30 January, 2015

Yes would prob agree with you here, I am on the fence with buying a NX L24A + 8003/4 subs, its for live music, the only thing that is the weight and of course cost comes into the equation as well.. but this is not taking anything away from the evox 8's for its size i am still scratching my head with the spl/quality...

I really want to listen to the EVOX8, but doubt the stores in my area will carry them in stock. The above post does worry me a little, as I have listened to the Yamaha subs extensively and find them to be anemic when it comes to bass production and coverage. I am not a Yamaha hater, as I use my DXR15s for many small events.

My experience with the DSX12 was it doesn't sound any better than the Best Buy Cerwin Vega home 12" powered sub. Yamaha has some of the best sounding active tops on the mid level market, but has yet to get series about it's sub offerings.

I have a friend on another board that just received a set of EVOX8, he is a gear whore like I am and his DJing is more of a hobby than a money maker, as we are old guys and financially stable. I would consider his training and education to be equal to an audio engineer and he has owned some really high end equipment, I know he will give a very unbiased review.

BIGG BEAR 4:54 PM - 30 January, 2015

Great thread and I don't want to derail it but wanted to ask a question.
I''ve been looking at a pair of dbr 15s and maybe a sub but keep seeing lots of people mentioning the evox 8.
Eventually I'm going to be doing more mobiles but at the minute its more bar and clubs with the occasional mobile.
Seems things are getting smaller and lighter,in my shoes would you be inclined to use my old mobile kit and maybe rent in extra powered speakers for the occasional mobile gig whilst keeping an eye on the market to see what develops or would you jump in now and risk hardly get any use out of them?

skinnyguy 6:11 PM - 30 January, 2015

at this point in time, you almost can't go wrong with whatever you purchase for speakers. especially if you go with a "good" brand (jbl, qsc, yamaha, rcf, ev..). there will always be something better around the corner. and especially in technology, benefits keep increasing exponentially.

when you're ready to jump in, find one that fits your needs and budgets and get it. then stop looking at other stuff because you'll always want what's out there.

if you're not doing enough mobile gigs yet to justify purchasing, then don't. you'll know when you're ready. until then, we'll both have to keep on drooling over all the new gear.

I can't think of too many 12" subs - especially in the midrange - that would be considered hard hitting

There are not too many.

Two to come in mind are the Danley TH-Mini, which is awesome! Comparable to JBL SRX 18", although does not go as low.

The other is the JTG Growler. Hits even hard IMO than the JBL.

Is it possible something was wrong or not set up correctly when you tested the DXS12? I own a pair of them, and properly set up, AND with the X-TENDED LF setting activated, they are very impressive IMO considering their price and do thump quite well. For you to compare them to a 12" home theatre sub tells me something was wrong somewhere.

Before purchasing my pair, I tested one DXS12 against my 15" Yorkille LS720P and both were actually very comparable in output - although the 720P did extend a bit lower and sounded more musical. A pair of the DXS12 does hit pretty hard though. and combined with my DXR8s makes a great wedding system for up to 250 people (a little more or less depending on many factors of course). As you know placement and venue acoustics makes a big difference too. I have been really satisfied with mine anyway - for what I do.

Rebelguy 6:02 PM - 4 February, 2015

So my friend picked up the Evox 8 system and he also has the HD-32As. I asked him for a comparison and he stated...

"The Evox 8s are not as crisp because of the smaller drivers. It's a different kind of vocal that even I had to get accustomed to. They seem more near field than long throw which is a given by the driver size and array."

He also stated they are "Good for smaller venues. Not for larger banquet halls."

Overall he stated "i'm happy with them compared to a 12" speaker on a stand. You can feel more bass (compared to a speaker on a stand) since the subs are on the floor. Guests like the way they look and sound. I would probably use them for most of my wedding gigs unless it's more than 250 people."

He's going to let me test them out at an event next month. I will try to get some video.

I normally use a Rock N Roller Cart but carrying up a flight of stairs might be slightly heavy...I have always liked the FBT MaxX 2A very much...Weighing only 28 pounds with surprising bass for the size...

lefthandbass 11:32 PM - 8 February, 2015

After trying out my EVOX 8 for a couple weeks now, I think I've gotten enough experience now to review it accurately. As an audiophile, this is by no means a flat or reference system. Which is definitely made clear by the frequency response graph on their spec sheet:

www.rcf.it

For people using this system for playback of recorded music such as DJ's, this is not a issue, in fact the system actually sounds great considering all the great features it has. It's relatively compact and lightweight, sub/satellite so highs are ear level and bass couples with the floor, even the line array slots into the sub, genius! However for live usage, especially with low frequency keyboard instruments (organ, synth bass, etc…), it is a problem, in fact, I found this system to be rather disappointing for the price.

First off, there is a very prominent peak around 80Hz — great for accentuating the thump of a kick drum but not good for producing even bass notes. I found that anytime I hit an Eb or E (an octave above the lowest E on a bass guitar) those notes were substantially louder than all my other notes, making my bass lines sound very uneven. Also, the high 220Hz crossover causes some issues to my ear as well. I'm sure they set it that high since the line array probably doesn't go much lower than that, but because the sub is running that high there is a second peak around 220Hz that is very annoying — whenever I hit an A below middle C, it was way louder than the rest of my notes, making my chords sound muddy.

Lastly, the system steeply drops off below 40Hz, which is within spec however my previous speaker, an Alto Black 10 on LF ext mode, actually went deeper when put on the floor than the EVOX, not dropping off nearly as steeply. And that's with a 10" woofer, AND that speaker cost me less than half as much as the EVOX, AND it actually fit in the trunk of my sedan! (the EVOX is 1" too wide) I'm left wishing I could return it or perhaps exchange it for an HD12, which is too bad because I love how it looks as well as the design.

so it sounds like this system is better used for dj'in than a pa for live bands

No. All the Alto's in the past are clearly inferior in quality and sound to RCF. I'm talking about their NEW "black series" line which is leaps and bounds better than any speaker they have ever offered. They are almost ruler flat & more powerful (2400w peak) and have a ton of features the RCFs don't have, such as their Line Drive system which enables you to adjust everything wirelessly via bluetooth from your phone, from volume to EQ and more. They also have a EXT LF mode which extends the low frequency response of the speaker significantly, much better than the RCF "boost" switch which doesn't really make the bass any deeper, only more boomy.

I'm left wishing I could return it or perhaps exchange it for an HD12, which is too bad because I love how it looks as well as the design.

fyi

i'd be most willing to give you two RCF FD12's--> www.chucklevins.com

Nope, not enough power. I'll take you up on it if you can offer two RCF HD12s or 32s ;)

I can confirm that the Alto "Black Series" is pretty impressive. You'd be surprised.

it seems from your review this system is better suited for dj's vs live bands

I guess the Black Series is supposed to be their "Pro Line" (?). I have only heard the Black 18 Sub demo'ed at GC but it went significantly lower and harder than the usual suspects at GC... JBL 18XLF, KW181, Etc.

I heard it last year right when the ETX's were dropping, but they only had tops in stock at the time... so no 18SP comparison, but the Black18 pretty much walked all over everything else they had at the time.

The demo wasn't for me, I was just a bystander, but when that thing fired up a had to do a double take like WTF? 0_o

It is a big ole heavy bulky box tho.

Looks like the same type box as the QSC & JBL. Here are the specs. www.altoproaudio.com

Has there been a whole lot of reliability issues with the Blacks like there has been with the Truesonic ones?

unfortunately thats why I bought my EVOX, my alto black 10 was working great for a year when out of nowhere it started breaking up intermittently...granted I was pushing it super hard but a 2400W speaker should be able to handle it right? It's in warranty repair right now.

so it sounds like "alto black" is just as prone to failure (unreliable) as the regular line

why do i say this? because you are the first person I've heard reviewing them & what a surprise they failed just like all the other alto's

altos are notorious for failing …….so forgive me when i say that your review of the evox 8 must be taken with a gran of salt

your telling me that a 10" alto sub, notoriously unreliable company, preformed better than a 12" rcf sub from a proven reliable company?

you say that you would trade your evox 8 for a HD12-a, this makes no sense to me because the evox 8 has much better bass than the HD12-a, just saying

Lastly, the system steeply drops off below 40Hz, which is within spec however my previous speaker, an Alto Black 10 on LF ext mode, actually went deeper when put on the floor than the EVOX, not dropping off nearly as steeply. And that's with a 10" woofer, AND that speaker cost me less than half as much as the EVOX, AND it actually fit in the trunk of my sedan! (the EVOX is 1" too wide) I'm left wishing I could return it or perhaps exchange it for an HD12, which is too bad because I love how it looks as well as the design.

wait your not talking about a 10" alto sub? your talking abut this 10" two way?
www.altoproaudio.com

your telling me that that alto 10" two way sounds/has better bass than the evox 8?

NO two way 10" box will have better bass than a dedicated sub woofer!!!!!!!!!

sorry but i call bullish!t on this, the evox 8 sounds better allllllllllll the way around than a lot of 15" two ways for example the ev elx115p which i tested against it, so you want me to believe that a 10" alto performed better than the elx115p & evox 8

HUH???????????????????????????

Al Poulin 2:02 AM - 10 February, 2015

The Black line is Alto's top line and they are quite expensive considering they are Altos. Never heard them, but one of Denon's "new" Delta line of active speakers is indeed simply rebadged Alto Black active cabs, so they are likely pretty decent. They likely still come with Alto's horrible customer service though, but performance and sound quality wise, I would guess they are leaps above the Truesonic stuff.

"Better" is a very relative term. To me, better means as even as possible with the deepest extension possible. To others, better means as powerful or as much thump as possible. I'm sure the bass on the EVOX is much louder than an HD12a on a pole, however, if the frequency response graphs are correct (which it seems like they are!!) the HD12a seems to have a much more even and possibly even deeper bass response when put on the floor, which is what I'm looking for.

Actually I sold my JBL PRX612m to buy my Alto Black 10 because the Alto actually sounded better than the JBL, it was much more even across the frequency spectrum (especially the bass), and had more power and better features. I actually tried a QSC K10 shortly after my Alto had to be sent into service and found that it was not as loud as my Alto nor had as much bass.

Yes I am talking about the Alto Black 10 not a sub. Again, the EVOX does have much LOUDER bass. However, the Black series (all 3 sizes, 10, 12, 15") have much more EVEN bass which is more important to me. Actually I tried the ELX115p & although I thought it sounded pretty good and was quite smooth in response it didn't go as deep as my Black 10 on LF EXT mode.

The zxa5 not in the same league. Its a 15...and gets louder than the evox.... And you can add some serious sub's to them and pound out a high school dance..

Evox nope for a high school dance..

Evox is good medium size 225 people where you want that nice clean look...

the fd12-a & the hd12-a have the same frequency response across the board ,i own the fd12 & have used the hd12 & will soon own HD32-A's …..hd12/fd12 does not have a better bass response than the evox 8 in my applications (playback of prerecorded music)

there is someone that did a speaker shootout in this thread between the ev etx15p & the
evox 8

he said something to the affect that the evox & etx15p sounded similar hit the same spl numbers on his meter & the bass was similar from both of them

i don't own altos but i'm going to take a guess there no way the alto black 10 is on the level of the EV ETX line

Joee 12:23 AM - 13 February, 2015

@paperkite

how is the bass on them? is it adequate for you? do you like the bass they put out?

jaswrx 4:29 AM - 13 February, 2015

Whew, here we go:

Both systems are awesome for weddings, and the RCF is insanely compact! The whole sub/amp is smaller than the B2. Way less pieces... However, the BOSE IMO, still looks better and cleaner looking.

Hands down, the BOSE is louder in every way. Highs, miss, lows, all of it. The RCF runs out pretty quickly in comparison, but that might be okay for most of you. I like a lot of headroom, and it was easy to get to the point right where the RCF starts sounding harsh!! By no means does the RCF not get up and go!

The Model 1 vs RCF: RCF won in terms of sound quality! It pretty much sounded better on every song. The bass went a lot deeper compared to the B1s. BUT, the BOSE can get louder.

The Model II with B2 (the real test):

The Bass is tighter and thicker sounding with the BOSE, BUT the RCF seems to make more boom up around the 150hertz (kind of resonates) and depending on what song it was, the RCF make things rattle more. I can't explain in any other way. The RCF is boomy, and the BOSE is tight and fuller sounding in the right frequencies. Up close, the BOSE sound quality (IMO), was much nicer to listen to. More accurate if you will. It had a lot more punch around 60hertz, and me and the other tester, both agreed the BOSE was more enjoyable.

Now the highs were very interesting, and this can be very subjective.

The RCF has a real bright high end around the 10-15k. It is so pronounced, that if you are close to the speaker you can isolate those frequency rather easily, and when turned up, it gets really bright sounding.

When you listen to the BOSE, it almost sounds like it has a sock over it. Give it a few seconds, and it does not sound so flat.

The BOSE has a more laid back, airy sound, which rarely gets harsh. The RCF has a more traditional PA high end bite, which might be good for cutting through a crowd. I personally disliked it, and though it sounded compressed when turned up. You could really hear the DSP at work. The BOSE in some ways could even use a little more bite, but not this much!

Now some people really like that pronounced high end, so to each their own on that. At wedding's I especially don't need that.

When we went back and forth, the BOSE sounded muddy, but then give it a few seconds to adjust from the bright RCF, and I ended up preferring the BOSE sound. Maybe a tad more EQ boost on the high end, but not much.

___
In the video, I demonstrate the BOSE first between black fades, followed by the RCF. The last clip is the BOSE Model 1 with B1s vs RCF.

Watch www.youtube.com

I will end up keeping the BOSE. It has a nicer sound IMO, and is louder, but the RCF is right there with it, and some might like that sound better. For me, I can’t take the chance of not having enough SPL. It’s just enough to bother me. For most, it will be loud enough.

If I were to get 3 of these however, that would be awesome! Still cheaper than a pair of Model IIs with T1.

raedonquan 4:37 AM - 13 February, 2015

so lets see here the model 1 with the b1 the evox wins... but the model 2 with the b2 bin it loses... hmmmm

now if you were to do a price comparison vs performance like the price of 2 evox with the 1 model2 with 2 b2 bins and t both would be at around $3300 now that would be a fair assesment of both systems.

... am i wrong?

jaswrx 4:41 AM - 13 February, 2015

I am not sure what you are asking.

RCF VS Model II with a pair of B2s?

raedonquan 4:49 AM - 13 February, 2015

yup.... that would be a better comparison as you have 2 subs and sort of an equal amount of line array speakers....

also the price is the same or close

raedonquan 4:49 AM - 13 February, 2015

opps 2 evox's

raedonquan 4:51 AM - 13 February, 2015

the bose model 2 and the1 b2 bin should out perform a single evox considering the price tag

raedonquan 4:59 AM - 13 February, 2015

That puts both systems closer $ for $

It also pits 16 Evox line arrays VS 24 on the Model 2 (in stead of 8 VS 24)

yup that would be a fair test

jaswrx 5:00 AM - 13 February, 2015

ya, no arguing price, but it is an overall stronger system.

Regardless of price, I prefer the more relaxed airy sound of the BOSE. The way it spreads is this unique wrap around effect.

jaswrx 5:14 AM - 13 February, 2015

yes :)

paperkite 6:40 AM - 13 February, 2015

TheRCF sounds clearer to me on the video which is exactly the compliments we have recieved so far and in reply to the other question the bass is fine.

jaswrx 6:59 AM - 13 February, 2015

it's clearer, bc it is a more forward, thrown at you kind of sound VS the airy BOSE.

Just different. Both are great sounding.

paperkite 7:19 AM - 13 February, 2015

I like the clarity on vocals but it does mean there is no hiding place any sloppy singing it shows up lol

deezlee 8:16 AM - 13 February, 2015

I have the model 2 b2 and I like it, but the 180 degree dispersion can really suck sometimes. If the speaker is next to you it sounds like you are standing directly in front of it all night. That is a main reason that I would consider switching to using a rcf or similar on each side like traditional mains.

paperkite 9:21 AM - 13 February, 2015

Well I'm very happy with evox 8 so far people who have seen us before say we have never sounded better .

this would be correct it's kind of a unfair comparison he put 8 evox 2" drivers against how many bose drivers over 20?

the model 2 also had two subs next to it vs the evox's one , a fair comparison would be to do the same test with two evox 8's

of corse 20 speakers will get louder than 8 & in most cases (not always) two subs will out preform one

ＮＩＣＥＲＥＶＩＥＷ... however, I'd never get a Bose Model II unit. I'd just assume wait for an updated Evox 10 to drop. I just really like the way the RCF so neatly integrates to an all-in-one unit for storage and transport. Bose always gets adult and older people approval, especially at weddings.

raedonquan 3:17 PM - 13 February, 2015

i dont think rcf will only add 2 more speakers can call it a 10.... it will unbalance the top to the bottom

maybe 13 2" with a 15" bottom then the price would sore to about maybe $2200.

this is the main reason you would buy a evox system EVERYTHING fits in one bag sub/top/speaker pole/speaker wire/power connector all @ 50lbs connivence

if you want or need more sound your looking at the wrong system, step it up to a traditional 15" sub/12" top combo

if they could give us a version of the evox with a 15" sub & keep it under 70lbs i would instantly add it to my gear

DJ Michael Basic 7:21 PM - 13 February, 2015

Yeah JASWRX came over to do a little speaker test yesterday. We first compared my old (over 10 years old) bose L1 with 2 b1s to the RCF and the RCF won in every category but loudness, just as one would expect considering the bose as 24 drivers.

It was a much closer battle with the RCF vs. the model 2 with the b2. On some songs we played, the RCF seemed to have the edge where on others the bose won out. It really depends on what type of sound you're looking for. The bose clearly gets louder, but at similar volumes, they are quite close. As JASWRX described, the bose does a better job of even dispersion, laying sound all over the room without much of a loud spot unless you stick your ear right up against the speaker.

If you're comparing the two, it really comes down to what you're looking for. For me, it was an easy call as the l1 is still quite large and heavy as compared to the model 2, and the difference in space it takes up and portability is VAST...and the bose is a pretty portable system compared to regular speakers.

Simply put, the bose is mostly clearer and louder, while the RCF gives more of that boomy club feel. With 2 Evox8 the RCF would win, but I think the most realistic comparison would be 2x Evox 8 vs. a model II with 2x B2s. The thing about that is, with 2x b2s the bose pretty much loses out on its benefit of being portable, and with the size of 2 b2s you might as well get a good powered sub...not to mention the cost of a 2nd b2 plus the extra little amp you need to run it.

For that reason, I put the evox on top, however, with the caveat that if you aren't going for portability, and are just comparing 1 evox 8 to a bose model II with a b2, the bose is gonna give you a very similar sound and be much louder, so if you already have that particular setup, you won't gain any sound quality by switching to an evox. If you're trying to decide between buying a new bose or a new evox, I think evox is the clear choice...however, I wouldn't be surprised if bose puts up a new offering sooner than later that is more comparable...likely with a higher price tag though.

Joee 7:27 PM - 13 February, 2015

DJ Michael Basic , was it you that did the test outdoors with a spl meter & put the evox 8 up against the etx15p?

DJ Michael Basic 8:27 PM - 13 February, 2015

Nope

paperkite 10:23 PM - 13 February, 2015

I love these reviews ...Dont have much technical knowhow but when I compared my evox 8 system against my old rcf 710 s 705 sub system everyone prefered the evoxs.

Joee 11:14 PM - 13 February, 2015

really? you mean a sub 705-as/art 710-a?

i think the sub 705-as has better bass than the evox sub, now the top portion array vs a art 710-a is a different story

paperkite 11:29 PM - 13 February, 2015

I don't need a lot of bass so maybe wasted on me I am not a dj .I thought the 710s were clear but the evox tops are more so.

paperkite 11:32 PM - 13 February, 2015

The evoxs just seem to be more of a Hi fi sound

Rebelguy 1:35 AM - 14 February, 2015

So a single speaker Bose L1 Model 2 system with two Bose B2 Bass modules, tone match and cases will run around $4200. An pair of evox8s with cases will run you around $3300. It seems like a no brainier to me. It will definitely give you a more versatile system with the pair. Plus way easier to setup.

make sure you come back and give your review when your friend lets you use his set of evox 8's

i want to hear your opinion on them cause you run kv2 subs something that i always wanted but never wanted the weight of them

i already know the kv2 will out preform ,but i would still like to se what you think of the evox

I am curious myself. I tested the RCF TT22As vs the Kv2 Ex-12s a couple of years ago and stuck with the Kv2s. I am looking for something more portable these days though so I'm hoping they are a good option.

Troy Michael DJ 2:38 AM - 14 February, 2015

I rarely post here. I gained a lot of info from many of your here about the EVOX 8 . Thanks you for that. I ended up purchasing at set in dec and I am very happy with the investment.

Basically the replaced my RCF HD12A's and feel the sound better with much more bottom.

Most of my events are less than 100 guest and some less than 40. I have used the pair for few times and just one a few time for the smaller events. Love the sounds and not having bring an lift speaker on tripods.

There is one thing that i don't like about them. I got the RCF bags. There well made but the part i don't like is that the speaker needs to be dropped into the bag. The problem you have to left them and it can be a bit tricky. I probably need a bit more practice but and also lazy and getting old so this is probably not an issue for most. I probably would have spent the money on custom slip type covers vs the RCF bag.

Other than the bags very happy with them. Got them from my RCF go to guy Mike Pyle. He offers top service with a competitive price.

Thanks again,

thanks for your review, cause someone else in the thread is saying that the hd12 has better bass

", if the frequency response graphs are correct (which it seems like they are!!) the HD12a seems to have a much more even and possibly even deeper bass response when put on the floor"

i don't agree……no two way 12" box will have better bass than a dedicated sub!!!!!!!

Quote:

i kinda agree with you, reason being all my other rcf bags stay on the speaker you unzip the front & the back were the amp is……easy as can be……

the evox has to be taken completely out, while not hard for me simple in & out . it's not as convenient as the other rcf bags

jaswrx 5:34 AM - 14 February, 2015

Everybody has their own needs:

I, for one, would never run just one system. I always run two. That way you don't have to max out the system.

For a pair vs a pair, the BOSE still gets louder, BUT it is so much more money, that a 3rd RCF could be purchased, making the best solution to buy 3 EVOX's, and have it all.

3 EVOXs would be louder than a pair of L1s, and would give you all kinds of flexibility.

paperkite 5:13 PM - 14 February, 2015

Would 3 really work you would certainly lose the compact appeal and what if like me you ran the system stereo?

jaswrx 9:28 PM - 14 February, 2015

still less than a pair of BOSE in terms of compactness. These things are really small.

I never ever run stereo. Mono is much preferred for mobile applications.

Al Poulin 9:48 PM - 14 February, 2015

I've never run mono in 25 years, and it's never been an issue. I generally focus my sound on the dance floor and usually do not seperate my tops more than 20 feet, however. I also play mostly smaller venues, so I've never had any problem running stereo. In bigger venues though, and if you're playing lots of older Beatle's type recordings (or songs of "extreme stereo" where vocals are on one side and instruments on the other), I could certainly see potential problems.

In some cases, running mono (combining L and R signal) can lead to sound quality issues/cancellations in the high frequencies where they will sound wishy washy - like a poor quality MP3. This only occurs on certain songs though.

Al

jaswrx 10:20 PM - 14 February, 2015

Whatever way you think best works, than go for it.

For me, running mono is useless. I play to 250 people on big dance floors. Many songs I play have separate L & R instrumentation, vocals, etc. that if you are on one side of the dance floor (50%) depending what side you were on, you miss stuff, and it sounds weird.

IMO, I think it is best for everyone to hear the same thing. I have never got any cancelations in high frequencies, although I don't generally use poor quality MP3s.

If I were playing to 20 people on a small dance floor, than ya, stereo sounds better.

How much space does an L1 system take up? Do you use the SKB cases for transport? It seems like it could get rather bulky for a pair in cases with two subs.

jaswrx 12:14 AM - 15 February, 2015

I don't use the cases.

It's not bulk at all. Just a lot of little pieces.

Not being Very Good at the tech stuff being Just a singer ...the stereo question using 2 x evox ...instead of hardpanning in stereo would say 3 o'clock 9 o' clock be a better solution? Maybe a stupid question but just asking lol

that's the reason i went with the evox... cant get any more compact than that is... i used to flip down my seats on my exterra with my sub and 2 speakers....... now 2 evox and my controller fit r n r cart.

paperkite 12:14 PM - 17 February, 2015

same reason i went for evox .... the lifting with the sub was beginning to tell ... I like to think however I have not sacrificed sound for an easier lift... so far very pleased but its a different sound which you have to get used to .. a clearer sound actually .

mseprodj 6:32 PM - 17 February, 2015

I purchased 2 evox 8's last month. They were a replacement for my compact system, which was 1 bose l1 model 2 with B2 bass bins. I had the bose for about a year, and IMO they are not meant for DJ's unless you are just playing heavy vocals. I tend to like the conventional speaker sound, where the bose seemed to be a glorified home theatre system. I spent plenty of money on it, and invested in the SKB cases which I felt were a necessity to avoid damaging things through a padded case (a lot of plastic with bose). The system was not even close to being compact, I needed a full R12 cart to just get the speakers into a venue. I know there is the "compact" version, but I needed something that could handle up to 100 people which was why I went with the L1M2B2. The bose are sexy, I can say that for sure.. get a lot of compliments. Mostly, people telling me they have bose in their home theatre (go figure). I am not bashing BOSE, they definitely have a place.. just not for high level dance music. The sound is full, but flat. It delivers an awesome dispersion with the 24 drivers in each column, and the dual 10's in each bass bin. Now for the Evox. I couldn't be happier, the sound is what I wanted as a DJ.. more of a conventional DJ speaker sound. It is bright and punchy, and bass is just right for smaller events. I used it so far in a small ballroom, larger ballroom with high celiings, low ceiling ballroom & outside. In all applications it worked amazing. I agree with others the BOSE was a little louder (I am sure 24 speakers VS 8 would do the trick), but the fact that you can have the top of the EVOX high above the crowd makes a world of difference. With the BOSE you have 20 of the 24 drivers blasting into guests feet up to their heads, so you loose much of the sound there. The Evox does clip easily with too much low end, so I recommend not using the boost feature (not sure what it's called not looking at it right now). The only thing RCF could improve is the pole mount, maybe something without a traditional twist lock & pin that would look more sleek. The wire clips to hide the top speaker wire are cheap, I already broke 2 of them. I might work on my own pole sometime that is nicer looking. Also, the clip light is hard to see unless you are not directly behind the speaker. I find myself bending down near my assistants crotch most of the night to see the indicator, and it just doesn't look right lol. So Evox has my vote. I am not looking for a bigger version like some (15 sub), this is just right. If I need more, I stick with my larger systems that consist of qsc K & KW line.

jaswrx 6:41 PM - 17 February, 2015

did you use the T1 with the L1 system. It is a WORLD of difference, and truthfully, I would NOT even use the system without it.

One thing I will agree is that the BOSE can get blocked, depending on the layout, etc.

ohh man! That's no good. It an insane difference. Like I said earlier, I was never happy until I used the T1. It kind of puts the smiley eq on (safely), which makes them not sound so flat and the bass is way way better.

Anyhow, glad you are happy now.

did you use the high volume preset?

I hate PA speakers that require an external component just to make it sound right. Bose does this often and I've seen Yorkville, Meyer, and a couple others do it as well.

jaswrx 12:43 AM - 18 February, 2015

those speakers tend to sound the best as it PROPERLY processed.

IMO, Meyers speakers are the best sounding.

The thing with the T1 is it's a little mixer that I hook my mics up to as well, giving me access to parametric eq, etc.

Plus, the preamps are far superior than my Pioneer mixer.

Anyhow, either system is awesome, and you cannot make a bad choice. It's so nice that we have all these options now.

So be it... IMO, the speaker should be designed to sound its best straight out the box, not requiring some external unit to massage the sound. Yes, there are PEQ's and EQ's to tune whole systems but I'm speaking about specific tops that require these units just to sound good.

For example: www.directproaudio.com

Advice anyone ? I am a male vocalist with quite a low Voice ...What will the 220 Hz crossover mean to me ..considering the bass is on the floor ? Its the Evox 8. I am talking about.

raedonquan 1:40 PM - 19 February, 2015

the box is a 2way the frequencies from 220hz and below are passed to the bass bottom and 220hz and above go to the top...

there is no bandpass adjustment on the evox.... beside anything lower than 220 hz on the tops will probably blow the 2 inch speakers...

most column speaker with a 2inch driver have 220hz common to the xover point .

if you feel that your tone in your singing doesnt sound right it can be tweeked at the mixing board

because the frequency response was not very even for usage with live instruments. specifically the bass — thumpy and punchy no doubt but certain notes of mine would sound WAY louder than other notes. That's why, nothing is wrong with the speaker.

It depends how much you will use these speakers. If you do four mobile gigs a year, DO NOT GET TEHM.

If you mainly do mobile gigs ranging from 100-150 persons and you normally use 15" speakers, GET THESE.

They are very mobile DJ friendly. Cost shouldn't be a factor if you are getting gigs.

The best way to describe these speakers is to compare them to EV ETX15P's. The EVOX 8 SOUND BETTER!

6 10:35 PM - 19 February, 2015

" They are very mobile DJ friendly. Cost shouldn't be a factor if you are getting gigs."

I respectfully disagree with this statement. The amount of gigs is irrelevant to what something is worth WHEN IT COMES TO PRICE.

Now, if you're trying to say that because it's easy to set up or carry than it's worth the price - then, whatever. I personally don't see much value in that.

This system has its place in mobile DJing but it also has its limitations (NEGATIVE STUFF).

please carry on sixxx ,you just confirmed it's a great system :)

It's not about being cheap. It's about being smart. It's not worth more than $1200. Seriously, would you pay $1500 for a Technics M5G knowing it's not worth that price?

If I had back problems (and I know someone of the people who posted here do) or I couldn't handle the weight of another system that sounds better for whatever reason, the extra money paid for this would be worth not having to lift as much weight. But, to say that price shouldn't matter because you're making money with gigs it's a bit idiotic.

6 1:30 AM - 20 February, 2015

Btw, since you're so concerned about what I buy and don't buy (SMH), there is still a reason (or two) to consider buying this particular used system.

1. I get to LISTEN to it and TEST IT before making the purchase. If I were to buy brand new, and didn't like, I would loose money just trying to return it.

2. A savings is still a savings. It's still pretty much new and under warranty. Kinda like buying a car that only has 1000 miles on it but depreciates the minute you take it out of the dealership brand new.

nm

6 1:34 AM - 20 February, 2015

and 3... and probably most importantly since I already said it so many times.

In my opinion, this system is only really worth $1200

Nah, I'm going for the ELXs still and will be buying 2 18" subs. The Evox doesn't have enough "boom" for my needs. Also, it isn't modular so you can't really upgrade or expand to it. Still seems like a good buy if you need the portability and whatnot, but I'm young and own a big Ford truck so that doesn't matter a whole lot.

i know you said you were doing that, but i thought you changed your mind cause of that good price?

Most people are idiots.

The Rane 64 for example... isn't worth the price that they're selling it for. I have one and paid $1800 brand new.

The Rane 57, when it came out... people were paying $1750 or whatever it was. I got it for $1300...

The 4 Technics 1210 M5G's I have... I got a pair for $900 and I got another pair for $1100.

All of these examples I'm giving you are for brand new products.

Seems to me you don't understand how marketing hype works.

At any rate, if you're happy paying 4K for a system that is only worth 3K in my opinion, more power to you. I'm not that stupid so I will look for a better deal on something I may need.

Need is the keyword. Not want.

is the mac i bought expensive was it worth it.... now on PC terms i can get better for less..

but in the dj world.... having glitches and all the good stuff wont work...

i could have bought a pc and did the tweeks.... but i use mix emergency...

that 4k system is the bose... and i got a better deal with the evox less to carry and saved money.

granted as i said early on in this post.. for the price of the evox as a pair... you can get a jbl prx system with a 18"sub, yamaha the same, yorkville, even qsc,, the higher line ev etx maybe a pair 12's and 15 sub. that would be getting your money's worth looking a quantity and size...and bass

you look at those array sticks... you think your getting short changed..."damn your telling me 2" speakers cost that much"

but i have been graced with clients getting venue's with stairs and that got old quick... i didnt sacrifice sound as the 120 degree dispersion is something... i lost a 80lbs to 100lbs sub.. no more tripods..

im setup in less than 10 minutes and i can use a miata to fit all i need in...

Rebelguy 5:18 AM - 20 February, 2015

What makes it not work $1350? Just curious.

For starters, the fact that you'll be limited in the amount of people you're going to be able to cover with one speaker. Get yourself two and you're already spending close to 3 grand... with bass that just won't really be worth it. For certain applications it will be okay, but for most, it really won't be. Not the way a DJ sound system should sound like (that's my opinion as I haven't heard the bass on them - but from the reviews posted here, obviously, it's not enough for some serious parties.

And let's be clear that I'm not bashing the system as some of these fanboys would have you believe. I think it has its application. But, is it really worth $1500? $1350? Nah. Not really.

At least not to me.

thats your thinking and trying to accept that a set of speaker being $3k doesnt knock your socks off with hard hitting bass. like i said you can get a nice system for $3k ev ,qsc, yam, jbl
this new column array is a new category in the PA world..

now lets look at real line arrays where you have to buy multiple units... 4 tops and 2 subs (JBL VRX $10,000 with out the lift ) the lift (the lift alone is a few grand) i guess that too expensive for you.. but for real sound guys out there its worth it for them to use.

i still have a passive system that i use for outdoors 6 ev scoops and 4 tops..... the tops arent cutting it.. its time to move to arrays but its $$$$ for me now $5k pair of rcf nxl24

auditorium.Prof. Kamal Ghanshala, President,Graphic Era University and Vice Chancellor Prof Awasthi inaugurated this historical effort. A dedicated team of 150 students and 35 professors led by Mr. Tushar Gupta, a colleague friend of Mr.Mishra were assisting in Marathon lecture. The lecture contents were prepared from MIT's open course ware on Computational science( Semester 1) and Mathematical Methods (Semester 2) for graduate coursework by Prof Gilbert Strang. The prime components of the lecture were Applied Linear Algebra,Sparse Algebra for large systems, Numerical Methods for Differential equations, Computational partial differential equations and Finite Element Methods. Matlab, a numerical computing software was used throughout for the demonstrations and algorithmization of numerical techniques. The previous record was held by a Polish law Graduate Mr. Errol Muzzawazi, who lectured on democracy, at Jagiellonian University, Krakow, for 121 hours. Arvind Mishra superseded his record on March 6 at 07:01:00 AM. The entire University and national media celebrated his success and his efforts. He further continued his lecture and embarked on setting a new benchmark. Finally,Marathon lecture lasted for 139 hours, 42 minutes and 56 seconds and was declared concluded by Mr. Tushar on early morning of March 7, 2014.

The whole lecture was casted live on website. It was viewed live by a diverse community, 65 countries, 11567 unique visitors, and 32 languages, according to website analytics data.

I am proud to come to this city as the guest of your distinguished Mayor, who has symbolized throughout the world the fighting spirit of West Berlin. And I am proud -- And I am proud to visit the Federal Republic with your distinguished Chancellor who for so many years has committed Germany to democracy and freedom and progress, and to come here in the company of my fellow American, General Clay, who --

-- who has been in this city during its great moments of crisis and will come again if ever needed.

Two thousand years ago -- Two thousand years ago, the proudest boast was "civis Romanus sum."¹ Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is "Ich bin ein Berliner."

(I appreciate my interpreter translating my German.)

There are many people in the world who really don't understand, or say they don't, what is the great issue between the free world and the Communist world.

Let them come to Berlin.

There are some who say -- There are some who say that communism is the wave of the future.

Let them come to Berlin.

And there are some who say, in Europe and elsewhere, we can work with the Communists.

Let them come to Berlin.

And there are even a few who say that it is true that communism is an evil system, but it permits us to make economic progress.

Lass' sie nach Berlin kommen.

Let them come to Berlin.

It was a concert situation in the gymasium ....I have gigged the room before with rcf 710s and sometimes a 705 as sub.... This was the best controlled clear sound i have had There.

DJStevieRay 9:14 PM - 23 February, 2015

Hi Guys,
I found this thread, and read every reply, even the nonsensical childish bickering. I have a question for Joee and anyone else who is now using the Evox system.
I currently have 4 K12s and 4 K-subs which gives me a pretty modular system. 90% of my events are Weddings up to about 250. I have one annual prom that I take out the 4 subs and two tops for only about (225 students). I have really been on the fence about buying 4 Evox 8's to replace my current setups. I always run two tops over the subs for Weddings even small 50 guest weddings, mainly because it has a much nicer look than tops on sticks. I sometimes run the other tops and/or subs in another room or outside depending on the venue. My question is in your opinions, how would a Evox 8 compare to a K12 over a K-Sub? Would I experience a drop off in sound quality or maximum SPL? When I do the prom, do you think 2 Evox setups with a pair of RCF 905s would be adequate? I can use my Driverack PA2 to crossover the 905's at 90HZs and let the Evox sub handle 90-220, with the array of course taking the rest.

Let me know your thoughts.

evox8 vs k12 & ksub....

i wouldnt waste anymore money unless you want weight savings... the ksub i never liked but i guess you have 4 of them the bass should be good....

stevie these are just a replacement for a good to highend 15 top.... you will be amazed by the 120 dispersion but you have enough with the qsc stuff you have.

as for proms and youngster type gigs bass is needed

i am going to try one day if i get a gig and bring some 18 subs with the evox just to see how it performs

DJStevieRay 9:34 PM - 23 February, 2015

Thanks. I am looking at them for the size and weight savings. Taking 2 or 3 k-subs and tops takes quite a bit of space in the van with the trussing and TVs and everything, just looking to save my back, time and space. Let me know how the sub works with them. Would the Evox handle the highs needed for a prom of 250 if I pair them with some quality subs? I guess I'll find out when you try it.

lvmez 9:35 PM - 23 February, 2015

I own the EVOX 8's and love them. Like raedonquan said if you have no weight restrictions or room in the cars issues, stay with what you have.

The EVOX will not give you more bass then the QSC subs.

Mike Sinclair can answer his questions as he used the k-sub/k12 combo, i do remember him saying that the evox sub sounded better than his k-sub

i'll see if i can get him to chime in

I'm not looking for more bass, but would the Evox be comparable/close? Hopefully Mike Sinclair can give a definitive answer.

i think it would suit your need, 2 will cover you for a 200 maybe 250 person event

raedonquan 9:44 PM - 23 February, 2015

stevie all i can say is you have to audition them if you can.. i know it can handle 250 wedding volume.... the prom i would get the nx L 24

raedonquan 9:52 PM - 23 February, 2015

i would personally woud try to some how stack the evox tops for a 16 and 16 left and right and couple the subs.... or setup satelite speakers in the back wireless

DJStevieRay 9:53 PM - 23 February, 2015

4 are for multiple setups. 2 in main room, 1 in separate cocktail room. 1 for outdoor patio or ceremony. I also thought about getting two and two Bose l1 compacts for the secondary rooms/outside, but I like the Rcf setup better, plus parts/speakers would be interchangeable. Plus I could couple 2 subs per side if a little Marie bass is needed. And I was trying to think about a way two stack two tops to make a 16 piece top array. I thought that would make a pretty kick butt small system when you need more throw, say outside wedding. Small stage show etc.

raedonquan 9:54 PM - 23 February, 2015

since he has tv totems get them high as he can then cluster the 4subs

DJStevieRay 9:55 PM - 23 February, 2015

Raedon was reading my mind while typing. Then add a pair of 905AS to handle real sub duties for those really large shows.

raedonquan 9:55 PM - 23 February, 2015

you have the k12 for cocktails and the other small stuff

lvmez 9:56 PM - 23 February, 2015

o ok cool, that would be the right way to use 4 in on from as already mentioned

DJStevieRay 9:58 PM - 23 February, 2015

What I really need to know is in (Mike's) opinion how does one Evox 8 compare to 1 K12 over 1 K-Sub. If they are pretty much in line with each other. I think I may make the switch.

Not a good idea.

Are you attempting to run a pair of Evox's + a pair of 905AS's at the same time? If so, you're shooting yourself in the foot. And speaking of feet, that's where the Evox's 12" bottom enclosure will be sending your 100Hz and higher frequencies... str8 to people's feet. My opinion is to stick to a pair of Evox's for their intended crowd sizes (~200 or less). If you want some ummph and cool factor to mate with your 905AS's, get the NXL24s.

DJStevieRay 10:37 PM - 23 February, 2015

Gaffle, isn't that where the Evox sends the 100-220hZ now? Into people feet. I don't have the 905s. I thought about the ideal of purchasing them to possibly supplement the Evox. I am currently all QSC.

Joee 10:52 PM - 23 February, 2015

@ DJStevieRay did you get to see this video? it's a pretty big room/high ceilings with only two evox 8 playing the other speakers are off, they seem to fill the room nicely

Watch www.youtube.com

DJStevieRay 11:05 PM - 23 February, 2015

I did see the video, but a video can in no way show you how a speaker actually sounds. You could put 10 different top of the line speakers in a shoutout on video, and r cord it on an smartphone, or even a consumer video camera, and then play it back on a laptop, tablet,or phone and imo they all sound like poo. My iPad cannot replicate how good any speaker sounds when watching a video.

By default, the bottom goes down to 40Hz (bass frequencies... great for the floor) and crossover is at 220Hz. With the Evox, what you'd be essentially doing is running a top on the floor with your 905's. Again, imagine your 100Hz to ~220Hz Evox sub at foot and body level (all negated sound) and that tiny pole-mounted array portion handling 220Hz - 20kHz. Not my idea of a balance system.

IMO, just mate some true tops (eg: RCF745A or HD32A's) with your 905's or stick to the Evox's for 200 ppl gigs where ease of quick setup and portability are a must.

I have a few rooms coming up where I thought the Evox would be winners. One is about 150ft wide and about 49 long. And the dance floor and Dj are setup in the middle. I hate those types of rooms and we have a bunch here like that. The other room is up 38 stairs with no elevator, and the staircase is 3ft wide. That rooms sucks to haul subs up to.

excuse me? you are wrong I've never gotten mad at anyone for giving a bad review!

i did call someone out because he said that a 8" two way cheap brand speaker had better sounding bass than a dedicated 12" sub woofer from a know quality brand

if anyone doesn't like the system, i would just say it's not for them, you do realize everyone that bought the evox 8 system is pleased with it right? there was only one person on this thread that wasn't happy with it

Mike Sinclair 7:21 PM - 24 February, 2015

I had 2 QSC K-12's and only ONE Ksub (not a pair). The pair of Evox 8's sound better than that QSC setup. I can't comment on a pair of the Ksubs since I only had the one. One area where the Evox outshines every other speaker I've listen to is in the vocals, and in midrange and highs. The clarity is ridiculously awesome! RCF has always had a nice well-rounded sound and I think the Evox 8's are fantastic.

DJStevieRay 7:38 PM - 24 February, 2015

Mike apples to apples how would you compare 1 Evox 8 to one K12 over 1 Ksub in terms of overall sound quality. High volume sound quality and maximum SPL?

Mike Sinclair 7:41 PM - 24 February, 2015

I prefer the Evox. I feel it has a fuller sound. I couldn't tell you about maximum SPL. I do small to medium sized weddings, so even with the QSC set up, I never really pushed them to their limits.

Thank God there are so many great brands of DJ Gear for us to play with and to each their own. We all have our "needs" and "wants" and for me, a pair of Evox 8's works beautifully. I am 47 years old with back issues, but still love to DJ Weddings. The Receptions I DJ in my market are small to medium-sized and I don't have the need for huge speakers. I do love subs though and the Evox units provide quite a bit of low end for their size. I have never been a fan of using tops without subs (even 15's) because nothing beats dedicated subwoofers. Evox allows me to have the kind of sound I want without breaking my back. Joee, thanks for all your input and I can say I am now an RCF fanboy.

Well guys I took the plunge and just ordered 4 Evox 8's, and large part thanks to a conversation with and avid Bose L1 MII user. I will let you know my feelings once I get them....PITA part is the bags are on backorder for a couple of months.

Now don't jump on me about 120 degree blah blah blah, I know about comb filtering & lobbing. I am going to use 2 for most events, sometimes one will go outside for ceremony, of if there is a deck/patio where the smokers go, and one for if cocktails and/or the bar are in a separate room. Now I do plan to use all 4 for a prom I have in May. I am planning on using separate subs (haven't decided if they are going to be 905AS, 908AS, 705AS, or 718AS) and cross them over at 100Hz, then let the Evox handle 100Hz and up. I am thinking of putting the Evox subs coupled in pairs. Then fly the tops off the truss with one stacked over the other upside down so the directional speaker on the top one, doesn't fire into the lower one.

To make the Evox 16 :)

Not so sure in this case, as these are covering the higher bass frequencies in addition to the sub bass. Might sound hollow if the subs are too far away from the tops due to the higher xover and smaller drivers of the tops. Definitely would have to do experimenting for sure.

Bass frequencies are omnidirectional therefore moving a sub 12 ft too the left or right will not produce negative affects that a human ear can perceive.

Yeah, but the problem is he won't be coupling "subs", he'll be coupling midbass and midranges since they'll be playing 100Hz on up. That coupling effect makes a ton of sense when it's sub-bass notes and at ear level... not mid-bass knock and vocals at floor level.

This is what I'm saying. The Exox8 bottom cabinets are not true subwoofers - they are covering much higher frequencies (midbass, lower vocal ranges). Whereas a regular sub could be moved away as it's sub bass output is omnidirectional the same may not hold true for the Exox8 cabs as there are more directional frequencies coming from it. I'm not saying it will sound bad if you couple the bottoms, but it might.

Which is why I like 3 way systems.

pdidy 7:42 PM - 4 March, 2015

Why do you think it might, is there a particular sound rule that you think it might be breaking ?

Taipanic 10:18 PM - 4 March, 2015

It could sound bad because more of the mid bass is too far from the mids & highs to come together as a cohesive sound. Example, if you put all mids on one side of the room and all highs on the other side, it will not sound good, it won't all come together as the original sound. Same issue with the Evox bottom cabinet, because it is playing more than sub bass. If it were only sub, it wouldn't matter, as sub bass is omnidirectional. I always center cluster my subs but wouldn't separate mid bass/mids/highs. I think it would not sound good with 2 evox8 cabinets center clustered and the line units spread out to the sides. Maybe with proper time alignment it could be sorted out but that definitely defeats the purpose of this system.

Quote:

This is correct but it does not apply to the setup being discussed because the speakers are not on opposite sides of the room as described in your example.

The setup being dissused is likely a 12ft truss with 2 evox8's flown on each end, if all 4 evox8 subs are center clustered they will only be 6 ft or less to the left or right of the tops.
So the question is, will subs placed 6ft to the left or right of the tops cause any significant sound issues ? I say its not possible at such short distances.

Quote:

Time alignment is not a factor here because neither speaker is more forward than the other. All speakers are on the same plane so no speaker is delayed.....so no time alignment required.

I thought Stevie Ray's wants were to have his four Evox's running at 100Hz and higher along with a pair of RCF905 subs doing the subwoofer duty. My knock is... What's the use of having essentially four tops (his Evox 100Hz bass units) clustered and on the floor? That mid-bass and some vocal bleed will be snuffed by the first 25 people on the dance floor with only his flown array units being above people's heads and able to project frequencies clearly. Not a good solution IMO.

My whole thing is these units are not purposed to play in conjunction with external subs... unless you perhaps have the external 'real' subs on the floor and the Evox's high-passed and sitting on a stage or something (Evox unit elevated at crowd's ear level or above).

Discussed on other thread what would pair of evox 8s be like Used alongside a pair of art 710s?

DJStevieRay 5:52 PM - 5 March, 2015

Maybe as a side fill, but not along with the Evox. The dispersion patterns of each speaker means you would have a lot of comb filtering and lobing. This means certain frequencies will be much louder as certain distances, and almost non existent a feet away from that point. This means the frequencies couple (louder) and cancel (quieter) at different areas where those frequencies cross each other. This will make for an unpleasant listening experience.

Rebelguy 7:46 PM - 5 March, 2015

Rebelguy 3:51 AM - 6 March, 2015

Two quick bits of information. I talked with the guy from Trinity Productions regarding adding a sub to the Evox System and he said it wouldn't be an issue. If you were running an RCF sub with the built-in crossover you could place the subwoofer next to the Evox 8 and just jump from the sub output to the Evox. In that situation the Evox would take over at 80hz.

On another note, if you are in the Northern California area there is a big RCF demo happening in South San Francisco on March 10th & 11th. The demo times are at 11am and 2pm each day. They will be showing both Evox systems as well as most of the TT Line-array cabinets. They will also be demoing the 8004As and 8006As subs. Good stuff.

In relation to addiing a rcf sub to the evoxss sounds Good trouble is that the point of the evox was so you Didnt have to carry a sub so defeats the object really.......also does anyone know thinking of the x over points , the x over point is 200 hz , does anyone know what point of the vocal range Will the vocal go to the sub ?.......Hope that makes sense lol

Now that's some good info there. I can't believe the RCF rep didn't know that.

& this makes sense to do how? (bringing another sub to couple with evox) ,if your looking to add more bass to the evox system than IT IS NOT FOR YOU! like me and others have already said many times "only for portability" if thats not your concern look into other systems

so i'm suppose to know any and every time there doing a demo in any of our 50 states?should i validate your parking as well?

FYI……i already saw the world tour demo

Quote:

also does anyone know thinking of the x over points , the x over point is 200 hz , does anyone know what point of the vocal range Will the vocal go to the sub ?.......Hope that makes sense lol

test it out, run some music thru the system without the top connected

The above information is very important for many reasons.

But, since you didn't know the information and don't think it makes sense, no reason to explain them to you.

Don Niles DJ 3:34 PM - 6 March, 2015

I am still considering this system down the road...Portability is my #1 concern as I really don't want to give up DJ'ing....I do want to hear the system before I pluck down $3,000.+....I presently have FBT Prom Max 14A's and am getting a used pair of FBT Evo Maxx 4A's soon...My reason's for wanting the Evox 8's are good sound for the gigs I do and no longer having to lift speakers on to stands...That is worth it's weight in gold.

do explain why i would buy a evox 8…..than add more subs?

the reason for buying the system is portability ……if portability is not a issues look at traditional systems

so again explain to my why i would buy a evox 8 than add subs to it?

6 4:08 PM - 6 March, 2015

The information is good because if you already have an existing EVOX and you want to add more bass with with something you already have, you can. It means you wouldn't have to carry a lot more heavier speakers. Just one extra sub.

Notice I never said anything about buying this system then adding subs to it. In that case, the Maui 44 is a better choice to start with.

is that system a all in one? meaning all speakers (sub/top/pole/speaker wire/power cable) fit all in one bag? like the evox 8--> www.rcf.it

You don't need to carry all on one bag if that isn't your priority. If better bass with a similar array system is what you want, seems to be the Maui 44 would be a better choice.

But, if you already have an Evox and don't want to sell it to have better bass, then you can add more bass. Seems to me it was designed that way for that particular reason.

answer the question

DJStevieRay 5:13 PM - 6 March, 2015

Joee, I think 6 actually is making a valid point, and not trying to get under your skin this time. To answer the question, no the maui is in two bags, but it also does not have or need a speaker wire to the top or a speaker pole. It's like a big badass brother to the bose The sub is the amp and base, and power/sound travel right through the pins in the tops that just set into the sub.

Rebelguy 5:34 PM - 6 March, 2015

I am looking forward to the demo next week. It will be run by someone from RCF so I'm sure it will be set up correctly. At this present time I'm trying to go into it with an open mind but some feedback I've heard from outside of this forum has me doubting the effectiveness of this system for my business model.

this maui system is pretty pricey $3,000 for one?

i would expect it to out preform a evox 8 at that price point, it's more than double the rcf system

The thing that's crazy is if you compare the specs on paper the Maui only offers a 1 db increase in output (which is max and would not be noticeable in real life) and covers the same frequency range. Although you don't know if the 40hz they claim is at -10db or -3db. Either way it's not worth double the price of the Evox.

I am not trying to get them to compete with the KV2 subs but I would prefer output similar to a nice 15in sub. I asked the guy from Trinity about the bass and he said he wasn't sure if he would recommend them for a DJ system. Convenience and portability are great but I have my own standards as to what I expect from a system which I offer my clients.

crazy considering it has more drivers & appears to have a compression (Horn) driver also compared to the 8 drivers in the evox……also the sub has two 12" drivers

Hi Guys & Girls
I am asking this question which for a lot of you will be a simple question which you will know, however if you can help me out here.
If using one RCF EVOX 8 and obviously one cable from mixer board to the sub input do I need to turn my balance control on my mixer board all the way to the right also do i do the same with my microphone control on the mixer. I ask because if using for backing track and vocal will I lose anything regarding stero to the listening ear.Also does it cause any problems with the EVOX unit if this was set up this way. Many thanks for any replies.
Regards
Fran

raedonquan 2:33 PM - 8 March, 2015

just run mono.

i have run my evox just on the left channel on my dj mixer no problems..

with a mixing board...i would think its mono

you can always sum the output of the mixer to a xlr y cable straight to the evox

deezlee 11:29 PM - 8 March, 2015

you should probly not sum using a "y" cable.
it might sound good most of the time but it's technically not correct, you could get cancellation and stuff.

and be careful turning your dj mixer's pan to one side, make sure it pan's both channels to one side and doesn't just play one channel.

you can test by unplugging one of the rcas and pan to one side and then the other. if the music doesn't cut off then your mixer is panning both channels and yer all good.

No you can't. Or you SHOULDN'T...

Summing of any OUTPUT via Y-Jacks or Cables is bad because you can fry the outputs of your mixer. Never EVER put a Y-Jack on the outputs of anything, Y-Jacks are meant to SPLIT the outputs, not combine them.

Joee 11:43 AM - 9 March, 2015

just get a small mixer that has a mono output

If I get anything beyond what I already have,it will be the Evox8's...Simply because of the convenience and weight factors plus as has been mentioned it is a designed system...I will most likely purchase this system later if not sooner.

Because of a crazy work schedule I didn't get to make it out to the RCF demo in SF a few days ago. My friend had a chance to go but he said they didn't even have the Evox on hand like the were supposed to. They were mainly focusing on the TT line array boxes and subs.

One crazy thing he sent me a video of was when they were testing the 8006 dual 18 box. They were running a pair and you could see a banana that was placed on top of a road case 75 feet from the speakers bouncing around from the base. He said it was pretty impressive.

Evox 8 First listen. This was my first test in a HS auditorium that seems about 1200. Plenty loud and clear. Beginning of the video is about 1/2 way back in the auditorium. About 80ft from the speakers. I was only on the first LEDs on the DDJ-SZ master out. And the DriveRack PA2 didn't even register its first LEDs. I had the speakers wide open but barely sent them a signal.

so whats your take on the system? are you happy with it hows the sound/bass for you?

DJStevieRay 1:38 PM - 18 March, 2015

I played a little bit of dance music. The only thing I heard which disturbed me was the high drivers seemed to distort a little playing back "piano guys - just the way you are" at the same volume. I'm going to try them again. It may be the way it was EQ'd, or I may have some bad drivers. I have a second pair I'm going to try as well.

It was OK. The tops really scream and higher volumes, and seem to overpower the subs as the db's get higher.

HI I had the evox system a pair and loved the concept and the first few gigs were great...I am more of a vocalist than a dj and sing in a duo with another vocalist.....I found when I went into awkward rooms the vocals in particular were very thin and harsh ...so I took system back to the shop and did a comparison against the RCF 745 ,the difference was very evident. The 745s were clear but really warm with possibly more bass than the evoxss... we did a swap deal and now own 745s they really are a incredible speaker warmer clearer more powerful...the evox is a great product but maybe has its limitations.

Yes got the bags with the speakers luckily they are brill far better than evox bags.....haven't tried speakers on a gig yet will tomorrow and then let you know about bass etc

I had to reluctantly admit that it wasnt to be.

you are a vocalist the 4 inch compression driver in the 745 makes all the difference, so you think the bass that the 745 puts out is better than the evox 8 12" sub?

the evox sub puts out a decent bass for a 12" sub & two me it's a better solution than any stand alone 15" speaker on sticks that i have used

...I'm confident enough that I'm planning to use them in a 5000 sq ft hall tomorrow with maybe 200 dancers.

I wanted to follow up on this. I did the gig mentioned above using the EVOX 8, but with the subs placed on stage like I wanted them I found during sound check that I was flickering the limit lights to get the levels I wanted. So I dropped a single SBA760 sub on the floor in front of the stage and ran the EVOX system off the highpassed output from the sub. It sounded great and coasted through the evening set up like that. I'm sure the EVOX alone would have been adequate, but probably needed more barrier reinforcement for the bass cabinets to avoid driving them too hard in this larger room.

As I've stated before, adding additional subs can improve the sound for what is needed, if done right. If RCF is paying attention, I'm sure a bigger bass option will be coming from them at some point.

I've had the EVOX8's for about a month now, and they're really great for its intended purpose. I have used them for outdoor wedding ceremonies and cocktail hour, 200 person indoor wedding, and other various events.

Here's a photo of the EVOX8's being used for booth monitor duty this past weekend. All of the dj's were impressed by them and its sound quality. I like how their slim profile doesn't make it blend in nicely into the background.

I'm wondering how the tops alone would perform in comparison to a standard 12" powered speaker; if it has a pole mount, the possibilities seem good. That "Bose" badge will easily get wedding clients attention. I'd stick a pair of "Bose" badges on my badgeless EV SBA750's too to make the cypher complete. :-)

The person who took pic.. Said it was a 15" with the same amp module as the evox8... The top has a carrying bag..as there is no rear slot for storage for the top.....

I kind a doubt is the same amp module...

There is possibly a wheel kit for the bottom unit.

to me it's pointless i would just use my art 905-as sub with my fd12-a tops

the hole appeal of the evox 8 is portability this other system doesn't appear to have that

Is it really that inconvenient to carry the top in a bag and pull the sub by it's built in wheels and handle? IMO, I think the better bass and brighter vocals will be a big improvement on the current models, especially to cats using them for modern bass heavy music.

if the speaker is so heavy that it has to be rolled around & the top is another speaker all together than whats the point of using a evox system? when a conventional system sounds better & cost less

the hole point of the evox 8 is convenance the entire unit fits in the bag that you see next to it

I agree that this is a specific use piece of gear (and I know you have lots of gear, as do I). I think that the bigger system will be better for a lot of the people that are buying this system. Most of them will only have that one system and I think it will sound better with more bass. You don't have to load in Orbit Shifters for every type of event but I think a little more weight and size is worth it for better sound as far as the Evox line goes. I've been interested in them for the College Tailgating parties I throw, figured they would be coming out with a bigger one after the initial feedback of the Evox8.

agreed for some one thats doesn't have multiple systems the evox 12 would be a better choice, if you've ever used just a pair of 15" with no sub for those tail gates & think that they were adequate ……than i have no doubt that a pair of evox 8 will serve you well they sound better that a pair of 15" two ways

getting back to these evox 12……if the evox 8 sells for $1,799 how much will this 12 be? it just might be to expensive?

I didn't buy it exactly because the sound wasn't up to par. Your point just backfired lol

Now this 12 may be a better choice but I think you're also right that if you already have a system like it, then no need to buy it. Although the array system coupled with an 18 sub might be better than another system that has an 18 sub but no array on top.

nm

So your "just get this" option isn't really an option if you're looking for an array system with better bass than that of the evox 8.

nm

Whether this new evox 12 is a good option for anyone will depend on what they already have and what they're trying to accomplish if they don't already have a system in place.

STOP IT move on…..no mames guey

Joee 10:41 PM - 17 April, 2015

FYI sixxx you can try to derail all you want ,this thread always gets back to were it need to be……unlike your bogus review that hasn't seen any action

side note why is it that every time i try to type sixxx the spell check changes it to dixxx? macs sure are intuitive ……..

6 11:37 PM - 17 April, 2015

If you really want to have a discussion about technics, I will let you make a thread about it since Technics made more than turntables. I will layout all the facts for you there.

Also, while you're at it, you can make a thread about how demand has nothing to do in business. :)

And last, lol @ spell check. You have the worst grammar and spelling on this board. So, really, maybe your Mac really knows you're looking for dicks. Yeah. Very intuitive. lol

6 11:52 PM - 17 April, 2015

I will leave this for you.

"Panasonic made the announcement that they'd cease Technics turntable production because of "a decline in demand for these analog products and also the growing difficulty of procuring key analog components necessary to sustain production."

Uh oh. Decline in demand. What was it you said that demand had nothing to do with business? lol

theres no demand for turntables right? must be why pioneer started making turntables than, pioneer doest know anything about making money right?

even the legendary jazzy jeff is using them
serato.com

but there is declining demand right? you must be smarter than pioneer a multi million dollar company, if the demand is so much in decline why do you own 4 technics turntables? why not buy cdj's than?

anything else little Boy?

You really need to contact Pioneer to see how many turntables they've sold. The fact that they came out with turntables AFTER technics stopped making their should tell you that demand does have a say in business.

Seriously, you've never heard of supply in demand? Even monkeys in the jungle have heard of that. lol

" if the demand is so much in decline why do you own 4 technics turntables? why not buy cdj's than?"

Well, since you're directing those questions at me. I will answer them.

It's like taking candy from a kid. lol

I own 4 turntables and not CDJ's because I like turntables and I don't like CDJ's. See how simple that answer was? The real question you should have asked me is when was the last time I bought turntables. THAT is the question that deals with demand. Then, ask all the other Technics turntable owners when was the last time THEY bought turntables. THAT deals with demand.

Yup. Like taking candy from a kid.

Now even your boys P-Diddy or Johnny would cosign with you on that statement. Hell, I bet if anyone on this thread would agree with you that demand has nothing to do with business. lol

this is how companies stay in business make and market new products, demand has nothing to do with it

i guess it has to be spelled out for you since you don't have comprehension skills

" demand has nothing to do with it"

companies make and market new products all the time & demand has nothing to do with it,was there demand for an iPod? no apple created the demand for it when they created the product & it changed the way people listen to and buy music

was there demand for Rane SL1? or SSL? no rane & serato created the demand when they created the product & changed the game for us dj's for ever

no longer do we carry crates of record or big 300+ cd books now we carry a small portable 2TB hard drive with more music than we could have ever imagined in something that fits in your pocket

companies make and market new products all the time & demand has nothing to do with it

what you need to do is……put your mac down stand up & Str8ten out your panties or maybe you can call mr Heat i'm sure he will gladly do so…..i hear he likes Unbunching things

like all other specialty speakers I think it will be safe to assume this speaker will have a convenience +tax added to its price.

i don't see this evox 12 as being convenient, it mat be to big/heavy & it's not a single containd unit like the evox 8

Is it really that inconvenient to carry the top in a bag and pull the sub by it's built in wheels and handle? IMO, I think the better bass and brighter vocals will be a big improvement on the current models, especially to cats using them for modern bass heavy music.
I really don't get DJs where how heavy a piece of equipment is becomes more important than the sound.

I am a sound quality first type of DJ; speaker convenience is second to me. The Evox 12 (guessing the driver is a 15) still gives one slightly more "convenience" than a traditional 8" or 10" top over a 15" sub. You have to provide power and run two cables to the traditional powered top whereas this unit is a single cable going from the sub to a skinny, and perhaps more sexy looking, array. Aesthetics are big time when it comes to weddings.

My guess would be the traditional setup still sounds better depending on the brand but for weddings, this Evox12 may be the go-to system. I like the Evox8's concept but after doing so many wedding events and realizing the musical demands, I'd never roll with 12" subs to provide my my low-end unless they're Danleys.

My only comment on this discussion is that Apple did not create the first MP3 player. They did what they usually do and refine a product and give it more mass appeal. The first MP3 player was created in 1998 which was 3 years before the iPod came out. The first successful MP3 player was the Diamond Rio PMP300 which still came out before the iPod.

Exactly. So Apple knew there was demand for the product and potentially making lots of money. You don't ever venture into any kind of business thinking there is no demand for it. It's ridiculous to think so.

using my line now? well it's true isn't it? i only use my evox for smaller events or events like one i have coming up next month……i surprise birthday party for a 80 year old young lady where big booming bass & super loud music are just not necessary

back on the evox.... from a source RCF - USA it is a 15" bottom

it does look like a 15"

i asked my people and this is what the RCF sales rep replied

"National sales manager for RCF USA;

There are 3 Evox in the photo, the one to the left is the new Evox 12. I don't have a street date yet, but o did get to see it last week in Italy, it's going to be killer. 18" sub and Neo drivers in the top."

he may have been wrong, i remember seeing a youtube video were the rcf rep gave the wrong power ratings for a speaker........so this may be the same

AKIEM 5:40 AM - 21 April, 2015

There was demand for a mixer with a sound card in it, after I concieved of the idea to modify my TTM56 by putting the sound card in it.

But without the public conception / idea / expectation / imagination of a product there certainly can be no demand for it. You can't demand an unknown product.

But if you design a completely unknown product, yes you can go into production and create the demand for it.

If there is no demand it flops. Happens all the time.

Yes you can obviously go into business making a product no one has heard of - yet.

there was another pic @pro sound and light showing an 18" with a column array sitting on top it. in the rcf booth.

Quote:

back on the evox.... from a source RCF - USA it is a 15" bottom

it does look like a 15"

i asked my people and this is what the RCF sales rep replied

"National sales manager for RCF USA;

There are 3 Evox in the photo, the one to the left is the new Evox 12. I don't have a street date yet, but o did get to see it last week in Italy, it's going to be killer. 18" sub and Neo drivers in the top."

he may have been wrong, i remember seeing a youtube video were the rcf rep gave the wrong power ratings for a speaker........so this may be the same

Evox 12: My 2 cents. I am curious to see how much the sub is going to weigh. Right now, I am very happy with the Evox 8's. With that said, I'd be willing to give up the tops fitting into the back of the subs IF the Evox 12 subs weigh less than 75 pounds. I did get the Evox 8 because of size/weight, but more bass would be nice if it's not ridiculously heavy. The built-in wheels and handles on the new ones are nice. The question is, how much weight when I have to lift it in and out of my car? I wonder how long before specs and more info are available. Looking at the 3 pics, it really does look like a 15" sub, not an 18" but it's hard to tell for sure.

Joee 2:55 PM - 21 April, 2015

if it's a 15" my guess is it will be around 70lbs just like the sub 705 & 905

Well, the Evox 12's do have 15-inch subs, not 18's as some RCF reps are saying (too bad they don't know their own product info)... anyway, here's proof: (go in about 1:05) Watch www.youtube.com

$2000 for one isn't bad considering one Evox 8 retails for $1800 ... $200 more for a 15" woofer, wheels, handle and lower crossover point, I don't feel that's bad at all. I'm still wondering about the weight.

I respectfully disagree. I'm tired of lifting 12" speakers onto poles. Also, every Bride this past year LOVED the look of the Evox 8. I heard "less intrusive" multiple times. I may stick with the Evox 8 system. It really depends on the weight of the Evox 12's. The handle and wheels are great, but I still have to lift them in and out of the car.

Ksubs are the worst speakers I've seen in terms of bass. And the fact that you're talking about old people nulls your point.

They did it that way so that the Sub could handle more of the mid-bass and some of the mid frequencies. I don't think that 15" sub would play well with an evox top.

They did it that way so that the Sub could handle more of the mid-bass and some of the mid frequencies. I don't think that 15" sub would play well with an evox top.

shouldn't be a problem i remember rebleguy spoke with the people @ trinityprosound the same people that did that outside review you showed me of the evox 8

they told him it would be fine to add a sub

Ahh, good deal then! I'm totally happy with the Evox sub. Of course, I only do small to medium sized weddings. I am done with Proms & High School dances. I had a bad experience at the last one and wanted to break a teenage girl's finger when she kept poking my macbook pro with her fingernail "play this one, play this one". I did my share of school dances back in the day.

Oh, you're talking about ADDING subs to what's already there? How would that get wired up then?

Mike Sinclair 4:02 PM - 13 May, 2015

I assume: go from mixer into RCF Subs (non evox) then from those subs into the evox subs? I'd be curious to hear that...

Oooh... Since it has left & right in... I could just add one 12" sub and run LINK OUT to the two Evox's ... hmmmm ... damn you Joee, I might be spending more money.

The Evox 8 is about 50 pounds, so I'm guessing the Evox 12 will be more like 60 pounds (just a guess). adding the 705as would give me a little more bass but allow me to still put the tops into the back of the Evox subs... then I could take that sub to bigger events, or events that I want a lil' more bass... keeping the weight down on everything. :)

Joee 4:13 PM - 13 May, 2015

lets hope they put up the specs for the evox 12 soon

Mike Sinclair 4:14 PM - 13 May, 2015

Quick question... how far apart would the 705 have to be from the Evox's? I heard that you have to be careful with sub placement or you can cancel out some bass instead of actually adding bass?

my guess is you would be fine as long as the two evox 8 are off to the side while you have the sub in the middle or hide it under your table …..there the same style enclosure

>> I actually agree that a sub can be added to enhance the Evox systems, if done properly, that was my original point. I figured you could test it out as you have both the Evox8 and separate subs but you never did that.

It's not that I want to lug around any huge amount of weight but I always try to have the best sound I can justify & afford for a specific event - personal effort does not factor into that question, I've never been afraid of a little work. If I was just doing weddings a good 15" sub would be sufficient, I've used SBa760s for many weddings and small parties. I also do clubs, pubs and high volume private events where big bass is required. For a $1000 each you will not get more bass per sub than with the Yorkvilles. I keep my equipment spending in proportion to my DJ income - I'm not going to buy a Danley system until I can justify the cost, regardless if I want it now for the sound quality and sheer output volume. The new RCF 8004-as subs look good on paper and initial reviews but I will have to hear them myself.
Same with the Evox12 when it comes out. I have a need it can fill but will have to demo one first.

DJ Michael Basic 3:05 AM - 14 May, 2015

Little update...the speaker pole cup on the top speaker of my original evox cracked and broke. Given how light the top speaker is and how it would be really hard to break by being careless (You'd have to slam the speaker down on the pole) it had to have some sort of defect in it to break after 10-12 uses.

I emailed RCF support and they shipped out a replacement speaker pole cup under warranty. It hasn't arrived yet but they were super cool about it.

I noticed on my new evox that the speaker pole cup is pretty tight, so I wonder if its that tightness that caused the other one to crack. Any of you guys notice the cup being a bit more snug than is necessary? Either way, +1 for rcf support.

Rebelguy 4:20 AM - 14 May, 2015

So they are saying a pair of the Evox 12 is good for up to 300 people. Not bad. Just wish they made them so you could mount the tops into the sub like the other units.

@ 1:57... the pessimist in me says that retractable handle could potentially resonate and rattle from the bass hits. That handle needs to be 100% sturdy and easily replaceable. It needs to be much more sturdy than the handles that are on travel luggage.

GoHoos 6:38 PM - 24 May, 2015

So I know it's not the exact thread topic, but I thought I'd throw up some thoughts after using a pair of Evox 5 last night for the first time. I've had the Evox 8 since December and absolutely love them (I mentioned using them for a college party 400-500 people and how a kid came up to me and said "I'm a DJ what the hell are these things they're so loud and so small").

I just swapped out my ceremony/cocktail system Bose L1 Compacts for a pair of Evox 5 for a few reasons:

1. When I have to deploy them in the same space, (i.e. very wide rooms, around nooks & crannies, cocktail sound out on the terrace, etc), I like the uniform look as opposed to Bose & RCF ... minor yes, but it's a detail, and at the high end, we should already have the basics down and be focussing on details like this.

2. If I ever have an issue, the Evox 5 are actually loud enough to swap in as mains without losing much punch and volume. The L1s are decent speakers for what they are and for the price, but they're not equipped to play for a rowdy crowd of 100+.

3. The uniformity of the rectangular case with everything inside it makes for much easier car packing than the Bose--even at a larger size. It's able to sit on top of things and/or have things sit on top of it, and there's no extension sleeve to worry about.

4. XLR inputs. In my experience, adapter connectors are usually the cheapest, so I get extra piece of mind (even though I carried around extras) just by having standard XLR inputs.

OK, beyond the thought process, I'll review a bit... I was set up in a medium sized ballroom about 50-60' deep (that is from DJ table to back of room) and 100' wide or so with the DJ table in the center. The dance floor was relatively small at about 20x20. The event was for about 200 older teenagers.

Early on in the evening when they were eating, I had it barely registering a signal on the amp panel and one of the adults actually came up and asked me to turn it down (and I'm not a guy that's gonna play loud just to do it or when it's not appropriate). That's cool from a tech perspective, but also a potential downside of the 120* coverage in that with a 60-90 degree coverage you can more easily make it loud on the dance floor while more tolerable at the tables around the dance floor.

When it came time to dance I had all the juice I needed. I did push it to limit just to see how much more headroom I had, but I'd say 90% volume was about "right" for the event, so it was near it's limit, but not at it. You could certainly work just about any wedding with a pair of Evox 5 unless it's a rave theme or something...

Overall I was also pleased with the sound quality right out of the box. Other than my Evox 8 -- which nobody but me touches :) -- most of my PA gear is rented out this weekend by the same group I was DJ'ing for at their conference across the street (a few thousand people in a ballroom), so I just ran straight from my mixer into the speakers and I didn't feel like I would've done a ton to it even with my EQ. It's not as punchy as the 8, and if I were a band I'd be a little more worried about vox cutting through the mix than I would be with the 8 (which is to say not at all in the case of the 8), but for recorded music it was great. The reason i say that is with my Beta 58 wired mic, I thought the announcements were a little weak and less clear by comparison, though again thats without any EQ, so it may be an unfair comparison.

No. It defeats the purpose of portability. Over the last 2 years all of my parties have ben under 150 people. In the rare occasion I need more sound I will bring a pair of 15"'s.

I have done 3 events with over 200 people and the Evox 8s handled them no problem. Weddings for 210 and around 230. And I never ran the gains son the speakers past 12 o'clock. Maybe your friends didn't have them set up correctly? I have seen many grea systems limited by the knowledge of their users. I have also seen many overdriven by their users as well which also was not my case. Pioneer SZ at unity gain, driverack PA2 about 4 green LEDs (1below clipping) and the speakers only 1/2 way up.
The third event was 4 Evox 8s for a prom of 260 with no other speakers. Again Pioneer and driverack at Unity and the speakers around 1o'clock.

400-500 people there doesn't mean they're all on the dance floor at the same time... particularly at large college-sponsored events, there's plenty of slippage (not to mention the fact that the dance floor is 1/5 the size of the whole ballroom (at most)...

Nope ... It's not self contained, and at that point I may as well use a traditional system--much better SPL/$ there. Evox is about acceptable SPL in a ridiculously compact package which appeals to me as a wedding DJ.

I also own an AV company and probably will never heavily invest in Evox there as a rental unit or for use in my corporate stuff. The bottom line is for a conference, I can put a bunch of K12's in a room which cost about 1/3 as much and cover almost everything. Conferences require a much larger wireless budget than PA budget... Larger events require an array, and that's not cheap -- sure, but there's also no Evox overlap there. I may buy another pair of 8's as a rental unit, but I'll have to put some feelers out to my frequent customers and see if there's any interest...

I'm a little late to this thread but thanks for the info.

I have a few weddings in August and September lined up with about 120 guests or less. I think a pair of EVOX 8 would be perfect for those gigs. I'll have to check with some local shops to see if I can hear it in action.

For one of the September weddings, the bride to be is an event planner and is big on appearance. I'll be paying extra attention to detail on that one for sure.

Hey everyone. My set of EVOX 8's have arrived and I can't wait to get home later tonight and "play" with them. I just have a few questions for the ones of your who own them already (cuz i'm impatient like a kid before X-mas)
1.) Do you guys set the gains at 12 o'clock position
2.) What's with the flat/boost switch. I notice that most of you say dont use it unless ur playing at low volume (the manual says the same thing) but theres a guy online from RCF USA who says it gives a little boost to the highs and lows (sort of the smiley face effect was his exact words)
3.) Just how high adjustible does the top go with the pole it comes with and is it plenty high in your opinions (i'm 6'5" and always have used conventional tops on poles but depending on the setup/venue I like to get them up really high)
All of these things I'll find out on my own but just thought I'd check with the real pros.

Thanks

raedonquan 2:18 AM - 11 June, 2015

i run mine full tilt

no boost

its pretty high

if you bought a pair they do sound better spread apart because of the 120 degrees dispersion

you will notice that the sound is very full and the vocals are out standing...

there also a guy from rcf that said the hd32-a was a 400 watt speaker …..he's wrong

i would only use the bass boost @ low volume, @ high volume it will make the amp clip sooner

DJ K. Andre' 8:22 PM - 15 June, 2015

first two gigs with the EVOX 8's are in the books and I couldn't be more pleased.

Friday night was the debut for a 50th b-day event where they wanted primarily 80's music (all sorts of pop, rock and a little hip-hop/dance) and they sounded great, loud and proud. No complaints at all.

Saturday night was a wedding reception with ceremony. The ceremony was were they really shined with the classical music etc. Ceremony was outside and the reception was inside. I was set up in the corner of the venue and there was a sliding door next to me so I was able to set up 1 of the EVOX outside the door for the ceremony. I had to check for the queues for the different songs for the bridemaids etc and man they sounded great. Brought it back inside after the ceremony as every came inside for cocktail hour. During the open dance they shined also. I was perfectly fine with the low end as it def severes my purposes completely.

I'm not complaining about the low end at all but I can see where some DJ's would want a little more low end for high school/club type event and I'd simply recommend an additional sub if that's what you're looking for. These did kill my traditional set up of 2 tops and a sub (or two for larger events.) I even tried to sneak and push them as much as I could at both events and never seemed to anywhere near clipping (in fact the party friday, I didn't even see the signal light til towards the end of the night when i was really trying to test the speakers.) I have no plans to get the EXOV 12's as i'm a size guy and I enjoy compact and like I said earlier, these will and should suit my mobile DJ needs for many years to come.

cool glad they worked out for you, another happy evox 8 owner …..

they really are great speakers for certain type of events (no school dances or reggae party)

but for most events i do there more than adequate, i was in the same mind set as you in saying i would NOT by the evox 12, but I've reconsidered ……they look much better than than traditional speakers on sticks for formal events

I agree with this plus the array part of it is definitely something that's appealing to me.

The EVOX 8 is perfect for 80's music as it doesn't have much bass for the most part too.

DJ K. Andre' 9:21 PM - 15 June, 2015

It has plenty off bass or lows for most ALL MUSIC (not just 80's, sir), it's just not big boom/chest thumping. If I were to do a high school dance or bar type gig, I'd prob bring the 2 Evox 8's and an additional sub just to intensify the low end aspect a little more.

i will agree there absolutely fine for all decades of music…….they are however not fine if your looking for hit you in the chest bass……

but thats not there intended purpose …..it's funny to see people complaining about them, they obviously don't understand sound…..or what they were made for

there made for people that want nice full sound & easy transport……not night club level
sound

if you want big deep loud bass look elsewhere ……..

There. Quoting the whole thing. Better SIR?

Like I said, if the bass was enough there wouldn't be a need to bring another bass to intensify the existing bass. If you're intensifying something, it's because it needed it.

This speaker is okay for most weddings and corporate events. Past that, I think the EVOX 12 will be better.

I'm telling you. RCF is feeling the void and I think they're doing the right thing.

DJ GaFFle 2:18 AM - 16 June, 2015

I'm interested in seeing how the Evox12 transports, wraps up, and stores. Also, with those luggage transport rails on the back of the sub, will they be robust or will there be horror stories of them snapping/failing. Oh yeah, sound quality is important too!

i don't doubt it considering the 8 was $1,799…..the evox system is defiantly over priced IMO, but you pay for the portability aspect/ ease of use i guess

there are defiantly better options for less than $2495……I.E one qsc kw181 & two yamaha dxr12……..cheaper & somewhat portable

Hmm - the EVOX 8 is rated at 500W RMS for the LF amp right?, but the 702 says it's a 700W RMS amp. Would that driver with 2.5inch voice coil be able to take 700 watts RMS?

I hope RCF aren't playing the same game as EV are with the ELX112p where the driver is underpowered compared to the amp and ends up blowing before the limit light comes on... We've had two of those EV drivers blown at work when someone tried to use them without any subs :-(

Joee 11:36 AM - 26 June, 2015

"Spoke to US Manager of Media Relations & Installed Sound Ken Voss. He is going to send me further detail electronically, which I will post up for all to get. Also included in the conversation was the head engineer from Italy (forget his name, unfortunately). He said additional subs could be added if needed, in fact they also just released the 702-AII sub:
1400 watt
12" woofer, bass reflex housing
stereo crossover built in (multi point adjustable)
Phase reverse switc.
This would pretty much be a stand alone version of the bottom cabinet of the Evox8.'

Rebelguy 1:36 PM - 26 June, 2015

I wonder why they discontinued the TT-12a. A 12inch speaker with a 4 inch voicecoil and 131db max output seems pretty insane. It was also only 61lbs.

Rik Rok 4:28 PM - 26 June, 2015

I was thinking of getting a pair of Evox8, but I just got a great deal on a pair of RCF 712a mk2 in the meantime so am looking for some subs to go with them... I only play pretty small venues mostly with the band that I'd use them with most - and if I ever play anywhere big or outdoors could bring in a bigger sub(s)

Joee you've got an evox8 right? If the new 702 mk2 sub is same / a bit better than the evox8 that's a good benchmark to use.

Would you say a pair of evox8 are suitable for use in a small / medium pub venue (50 - 100 people) to add decent thud to the kick drum and a bit of extra weight to the bass guitar?

They might also get used for playing standard pop wedding style music.

Joee 4:35 PM - 26 June, 2015

i would look @ 1 or 2 15"subs to pair with the 712 www.rcf.it …. www.rcf.it

one evox 8 works well for 50 to 100 people when playing prerecorded music, not sure how well it will work for band/kick drum, my guess is you will not be satisfied

what ever sub you decide to get, make sure it has a crossed over/high pass output, the 712 doesn't have a high pass filter

Rik Rok 7:26 PM - 27 June, 2015

Yeah I think you're right. I should probably get two 705 subs. They are still only 27kg and they have the high pass filters I need.

If only I could go somewhere and try out both the 702s and the 705s with my 712s at a decent volume then I'd know for sure.

raedonquan 10:21 PM - 27 June, 2015

the vocals did sound excellent.

dj_soo 12:26 AM - 28 June, 2015

man I wish RCF gear wasn't so expensive here - the thought of getting a pair of EVOX 8s sounds great as I rarely do parties of larger than 200 these days...

Bassmann13 12:56 AM - 3 July, 2015

As a person that was looking for more information on the EVOX8's and who had a hard time finding much more than a few arguements, I would like to throw my 2 cents into the pot to help others that may be in the same position that I was and are looking for an unbiased review.

As a former pro audio provider for over 15 years, I have a lot of experience with different size PA's as well as the application/expectations of said PA systems.

When I retired, I sold nearly everything that I had minus a small powered PA rig. 2 QSC HPR122i over 2 of the original Italian made Mackie SWA1801.

The problem with this rig isn't the way that it sounds as it sounds very good. I can still mix an occassional small bar band on the PA and or DJ a local event or wedding. With that said, the only way to do any of the above is to hook up the trailer or borrow a truck or van.

So with that in mind and needing a small PA for speeking events, DJ ing and an occassional accoustic band, I went on the search for something that was portable. My only transportation as of right now is a 2014 Honda civic so size WAS the main factor that I was looking for. (remember I still have the QSC/Mackie rig for larger requirements)

I started off with the BOSE L1 Model 2 a B2 nd a T1. Since I had previously owned (and sold) this system I was familiar with it but thought that it was greatly overpriced for what it can do. I looked at the less expensive L1 1s with a B2 and T1. I liked it but its limited features such as a line output. Substantially less output than the model 2 and sitll a hefty price tag, led me to decide against it as well. (oddly enough, even the Bose support rep that I talked to indepth suggested that I stay clear of the L1 1S and suggested the L1 Compact because of its size but mostly because it did have direct outs, 30 degree coverage and provisions to plug into it without a mixer) After looking at it and at the Fishman solo, which I have previously owned and liked, I continued my search.

That is when I discovered the EVOX8. I have know the Local RCF rep for a long time so I contacted him and found a dealer that had some in stock. I drove 4 hours round trip to take a listen and what I can tell you is that the trip was more than worth it.

First of all Kent Laabs at Soundworks Systems in Stevens Point, WI was a pleasure to work with. His knowledge and eagerness to help and experiment went beyond the call of duty.
When I arrived, Soundworks had one EVOX8 set up in a large warehouse full of boxes, shelves and gear. The room was full yet open enough to get a really good listen. Kent fired the EVOX8 up and immediatley, with no EQ, they were pleasing to the ear. The EVOX8 was connected to a Soundcraft digital mixer so I was able to really dig in and play with an EQ to see how the EVOX8 would respond. I was VERY impressed. I played songs like UPTOWN FUNK and the sound was full and punchy. The bass and vocals very clear. I played Norah Jones. The sound was smooth and very pleasinng to the ear. I played YEAH, and that was the first time that I notced the lack of depth to the lowend. Remember, I am in a LARGE warehouse. I only mention these songs since they are popular DJ music and they will give you a reference point. YEAH is a song that relies on a lot of "sub bass" to fill the song out. That is the type of bass you feel VS hear. UptownFunk is more of a hearing bass mix than a "feeling" mix. With that said, there was NO DOUBT in my mind that the EVOX8 was the system that was going home with me. We used a SM58 and while Kent spoke into it I walked the room and the sound was clear and even all the way to the back and from side to side. The room would be equivilant to a ballroom that would seat 200 people. The system was VERY impressive and its size and build quality is nothing short of AMAZING.

Before I left, Kent and I pulled out a RCF 8004 18" sub and an RCF HD32. That system was amazing but that's another story.

Since I had read so many arguements both for and against the EVOX8, I wanted to try one more thing. We set the EVOX8 on top of the RCF 8004. Connected the signal to the sub and the pass through to the EVOX8. So with the 8004 sub crossed over at 90 they could handle everything 90 and under and the EVOX8 90 and above. The sound was Incredible! So... Inresponse to all the fighting going on in regards to the EVOX8, here is my final take away.
1) I bought them. I would prefer them over ANY 12" or 15" on a stick without a sub anyday.
which would be a comparable size, EVOX8 would be easier to set up, more compact (no additional stands required) and with the SUB handling the lowend sounds much fuller than a speaker on a stick. This set up would then be great for small to mid size gigs. The like of which you could use your own discretion based on the circumstances and requirements.
2) Then, for gigs that would need more lowend and more output, I would bring an additional sub or two and connect the EVOX8 as a Mid Hgh box as I described above. This set up would cover any room that you wanted to throw at it, within reason of course. Obviously there is a reason that LARGE PRODUCTION COMPANIES and Multi box Array systems exist. When the EVOX8 is crosssed over at 90 or 125 etc the output of the box will have no problem keeping up with a sub like the RCF 8004 which puts out 138db. I would absolutely have no concern in usinig a EVOX8 over a single 18" sub to mix a live rock band.
Please remember that if you use a horn loaded sub, you may need to take into consideration delay compensation for time allignment purposes.

In my opinion, owning a EVOX8 system for portability and a single or pair of single 18" subs to use in combo when required, would be the ideal system to cover both small, medium, and large events...ESPECIALLY DJ events.

One last comment. When I returned home with the EVOX8 (only one in stock I have the other ordered) I set them up in a smaller room and all music including the songs mentioned above sounded great. If you are ever in need or desire more low end place the speaker in a corner.

I hope that this unbiased review from a person that wasn't sure one way or another about the EVOX8 was helpful. To be clear, If I didn't like it I would NOT have purchased them.
BTW...I am now listing my QSC HPR122's for sale as I will no longer be needing them. I will be using the EVOX8's as described above instead. Good Luck to everyone in making the decision for or against the EVOX8 for themselves.

Here is a picture of the EVOX8 on the 8004 subwoofer. Obviously you could set it up as we did in the picture (which was the easiest way for us to connect them) or you could center cluster the sub under a table, hidden out of sight, and really blow EVERYONES mind when they wonder where all the sound is coming from. LOL

i know the bose's upper frequency output is probly louder then the evox, how does the bass compare?
i never run out of volume with the bose, but the bass is hollow compared to my other sub and i do run out of headroom w the bose bass.

Bassmann13 1:08 PM - 5 July, 2015

Honestly I feel that even though they are similar, they are still very different. I believe thst they both have a place and a reason to choose one over the other. I sold my Bose so I can't give you a direct comparison. I can only offer you my opinion based on previous experience.

The Bose system, having 24 speakers, creates more of a "line array" affect. The number of speakers work together very well. I enjoyed the Bose when used for small accoustic 2 piece acts. The sound is smooth and full.

For fun, I did use the Bose with 2 kv2 dual 12" subs once to run a 4 piece rock band in a small bar. It worked adequately. I wouldn't have made a habit out if it. I found that adding subs to the Bose was clumsy as the foot print and height didnt allow it to be set on top of the sub speakers.

As for the EVOX8, I feel like the box is more, dare I say "musical". I have only had the EVOX8 a few days now but I haven't left home without it. From backyard parties to inside the house. Everyone is loving this thing. It is so portable and takes up almost no space that it fits everywhere. Even at low volume the sub sounds like a sub.

Because of expandability reasons (adding a larger sub when needed) size and portability, my personal choice is and will remain to be the evox8. That is NOT to say that I dont like the Bose, because I do. I just don't prefer it for what I need at this time.

Last thing,all systems will run out of coverage or lowend or----- at some point, so choose what is most important to you. If you want expandability, a name brand that a client will recognize or -----? The choice is yours. Fortunately there is a lot of incredible gear out these days to choose from.

I love the evox8 and will be buying a soundcraft ui12 mixer to go with it. I believe it is a great alternative and imo an upgrade to a t1 mixer.

There have been a number of issues with Soundcraft's Ui line. These may or my not be able to be fixed with future firmware updates. I had the Ui16 for a few weeks but ultimately returned it because of noisy preamps, random white noise bursts and a bizarre gain structure. Other users are suffering from wifi connection issues, recording issues and uneven volumes. You may want to wait it out a bit to see if they things get fixed.

cxhawk 2:50 AM - 28 July, 2015

Since I get a lot of good info about evox before I purchase from here, the following is my brief review:

advantage:
1. Wide coverage and even distribution
2. Portable
3. less feedback

disadvantage:
1. Less dynamic (it's so even that it's not very loud at the peaks)
2. Lack low mid and high frequency (for not having a compression driver)

In conclusion, good for rehearsal and speech application, not ideal for full band live musical.

well i had a freestyle artist perform with my evox... he and his manager were amazed at the sound....

Hey, I know you guys have touched on this before but I'm having an issue with a good quality cart for the EVOX 8's. I bought the JS-KC 80 and one of the cables the release an end broke first gig. Returned it and got another on, it last 2 gigs. I bought the JS-KC 90 which is the next model up (a little larger and allegedly sturdier) and it lasted 1 gig. I mean I'm a big strong guy 6'5" 318 and can carry both no prob but the cart makes it easier. I don't think pulling on the cable by hand should be causing them to snap (not all 3.) I just wanted something that folds down to the size of the JS-KC 80 (as it fits perfectly into a compartment in the trunk of my car), something with handles on both ends and something that WON'T SNAP when I pull the release cable :-)

Suggestions please.

DJ K. Andre' 8:28 PM - 28 July, 2015

I used my one Evox 8 this past weekend for the first time at a 95 person wedding... Covered the entire room from the corner they had me set up in, and sounded great for toasts/dinner, and then once open dancing started, it handled the job with plenty of room to spare. Had the gain on the speaker at 1'oclock, and after about 1 hour of dancing, had a request from the restaurant upstairs from the wedding venue, to turn the bass down (From flat to 9'oclock on my mixer). All in all, it was an extremely easy, professional, and clean looking setup, and sounded excellent.

The Only reason I bought the Evox is a torn Achilles that I had surgery on a couple months ago. I'm pretty useless, so my wife is my gear hauler/assistant at weddings. My club residencies are backpack only, and I don't do any mobile stuff besides weddings, so I doubt I'll ever have to push the evox setup, but I still feel that it was money well spent. I have a second on order, but I have no doubt, for weddings, that 1 can cover 100 people, and I'm assuming with 2, I'll be able to cover 150-200. The 1 evox sounded better than my 2 RCF Art312's, and was 100% easier to set up. No stands, way less wiring, etc (I probably would have set up my dxs 15, and 2 rcf tops for this wedding if I didn't have the evox)...

If I were buying speakers just to boom and get extremely loud, I wouldn't go the Evox route... $ for $, it's not worth it. But, for weddings, smaller privates, etc... I think it's about as simple and clean as you can get, and for me, the tradeoff is well worth it.

Nice! I'll be doing my 1st gig wth the EVOX 8 at a wedding this Friday. (p.s. lvmez I ended up just ordering it lol...thanks though!!) There should be 120 guests. So far I've only powered them on to test, but didn't get to crank it up all the way. It's crazy how lightweight and compact they are!!

lvmez 6:58 PM - 11 August, 2015

Congrats. Enjoy!

Joee 10:02 PM - 11 August, 2015

evox 8 will defiantly be my speaker of choice for a long time to come, i just picked up a acura tlx…... evox 8 is about the only PA that will fit in the back seat

i have to check & see if the evox 12 will fit also?

My 1st gig with the EVOX 8 went well. The room was just the right size, I think if it was any bigger the speakers wouldn't have been adequate. The crowd dispersed as the night went on, overall I'm glad I decided to use this setup for this event as there were some steps I had to deal with. It would have been a huge pain if I brought the bigger setup. I'm curious to hear the EVOX 12 though.

very nice clean elegant looking setup any plans to get a table top facade?

thats about the size room you want to use evox 8's for i think any more tha 150 200 people and you will star to overdrive them, i have used them for 250 & they were @ there limit

i got a chance demoed the evox 12 @ the dj expo, they sound REAL good

Joee do use the ddj sr as your primary mobile gig controller? Do you also have the pioneer sx, and sz?

Joee 3:40 PM - 15 August, 2015

sr & sx,….. i had the sz it's to big IMO, it defeats the purpose of a controller might as well cary around TT & the crossfader sucks ,it seems like you have to move it 1/4 to 1/2 an inch to get full open with the crossfader curve on cut

i use the sr when i want to be as mobile as posable ,i like the sx much better

Very similar to me, i use my vci 380 for my mobile gigs and bars/clubs that don't have gear i use a pioneer ddj sx. I just purchased a ddj sx2 so that i could use it with dvs at home.

I use the 380 mostly for weddings so there isn't much scratching going on. It's also extremely compact (smaller than the sr) and that works great for me. I had a sr but sold it as soon as i got it because i was having problems with the jogs wheels touch sensitivity. The only effect i use on the vci 380 is echo out so it works just fine for me. The platters on the 380 are the best on any controller i've used. I also had the vci 300 and love those jogs as well.

Yeah a facade and lights are on my wish list at the moment. Not sure which ones I'm gonna get yet though. I'd probably get a full facade vs a table facade

That rock-n-roller is also on the list, sometimes it's hard to find a spot to store my hand truck at the venue due to its size

lvmez 4:42 PM - 15 August, 2015

Start with a table scrim for now. They are cheap. When I don't want to take my facade I use a scrim with one par can behind it.

Is this buyers remorse? Your setup looks great (what type of uplights are you running?) and your ease of transport makes me envy but having barely enough sound and headroom would irritate me to no end.

You know the Evox12 is gonna have more midrange, low end and output than the Evox8. Are you considering the upgrade?

No, not buyer's remorse at all. Each sound system has pros & cons, and the portability and appearance are the trade offs for loudness and output in this case. I'm just "curious" to hear how the Evox 12 compares to the 8. The 8 definitely has a limit with bass heavy music, which I discovered. But not one guest or the client had an issue with the levels.

The lights are permanently installed at the venue, not mine. A lot of the venues in NYC seem to provide lights now.

Ha--yeah, I'm sure. I told her sorry if it was too loud, and she said "no it's ok, they loved it and had a great time." They were probably just not used to those levels. It was a private party, and the drinks were free too.

Guys. To everyone involved. I've been reading this thread all night. From the beginning. This is what the dj world needs. Props to Joee. Props to everyone taking the time for comparing. I saw agiprodj blast that 12 today and I was in awe. I didn't even know this system existed. I've been messing around with L1s & QSC 12 / Ksub set ups. I've been a wedding dj for 16 years. Being 30 years old, the music tastes are all over when I'm djing. I had an L1s with B2 bass. Didn't know if it's what I was looking for. Sent it back. Just ordered two of them. Wanted versatility and coverage while also making sure I have a backup secured. Lol I'm a crazy ocd gear nerd myself. Two is better than one.

I need to get my hands on this RCF 8 set up. It's so clean, also has sold to pretty much everyone in this thread. I'm up in Mass. Hopefully that PAS connect can help me out. I'm really looking forward to this. Thanks for making my night. Feel like I finished a book / movie at times. Great thread.

I guess that depends on your definition of portability. With the 12's, you do have to carry the tops in separate bags, but the subs have a handle and wheels. I can't wait to hear the 12's. The 8's are pretty damn impressive though.

88 pounds was a bitch to lift in & out of my car. And, I didn't think the 181 sounded all that great for an 18-inch sub. Again, just my opinion. I think the Evox 12's are going to be perfect for me personally.

My skirts are black. The one thing I have heard from many coordinators I have dealt with is that they hate when the DJ tries to make their whole setup white.

I've had the opposite , use the white cover to uplight the speaker pink red blue etc. to match the room uplighting ……nothing but complements

i jumped back into the luxury car segment ……but i couldn't do it big because i bought my wife a new car the week before i got mine

i settled on a acura tlx, if i didn't have to pay for the wife's i would have went with another 5 Series BMW

Moving heads are Chauvet Intimidator 350 controlled by an Obey 40. I rented the system for this event. I didn't have any prior DMX experience. The uplights were provided by my friend that worked the event with me--I believe it is the Chauvet DJ SlimPAR 56.

Good presentation there. Being nitpicky... I would suggest not aiming your uplights directly at the facade; make the beam sort of ride up the facade.

add a few hundred on to what you would pay for 2 evox 8 & you can buy two kw181 & two dxr12…….that system will kill 2 evox 8

i don't know about old, "don't want to lug heavy shit around anymore." thats pretty much the only reason to buy the evox system

2 evox 8 will run $2,800……you can buy one single 18" & two 12" that will kill it for less than that

the looks are nice tho & setup time is much quicker also another plus is if you have limited space they take up no room in transport

This is borderline and a good question. I think what you gain is having a sleeker "look" with the Evox 12 plus less cabling for the top due to it feeding off of the power of the sub portion. The total overall weight and space of the Evox12 solution may be a slight advantage as well.

A knock is you can't "ideally" use the Evox12 tops standalone like you could with a pair of 10's or 12's in a traditional setup. That transport handle on the Evox12 could be good or bad depending on its build quality. A pair of other 15" subs with wheels seem just as easy to move because they can be stacked on one another for efficient transport.

If I were looking for a long-term wedding setup... the Evox12 would be high on my list (even w/o hearing). A pair of 15's, floor-loaded, are adequate for most wedding crowds.

DJ GaFFle 2:47 PM - 9 September, 2015

if by room size you mean how many party goers you can cover? you wouldn't want to do a event bigger than 200 people with a pair of evox 8

mind you this is 200 people in total @ any given event, if you are talking 200 people on a dance floor @ one time than the evox 8 will not do the job

this system is better suited for events were you need good sound but don't need bass shaking down the building , if you need something bigger check out the evox 12….it should be out soon www.bhphotovideo.com

so how do you feel about the portability of them, is the sub easy for you to move around / lift in & out of your car?

if portability is good for your needs do you think you will sell the evox 8?

Mike Sinclair 11:55 AM - 18 September, 2015

Since the subs have wheels and built-in handles, I'm good with the portability. Yes, the 8's are MORE portable, but the 12's do have a handle on top of the sub and handles on both sides. Sub weighs about 55 pounds, so not too bad lifting in and out of car. Yes, I am selling the Evox 8's.

I bought a Sennheiser LSP500 Pro for my Ceremony speaker (battery-powered) ... pricey, but VERY cool :)

So do you use the iPad app to control the volume of the mics?

Does it get loud with only 55watts?

I haven't tried the app yet. (It requires a wi-fi connection and I'm using it wirelessly). It is pretty loud for what I use it for. I had a Roland BA330 (which is only 30watts) and even that sounded good. Keep in mind, I do ceremonies with about 50 people, so I don't need a ton of volume.

If this is true, that's pretty foul. Dudes invest in a speaker and less than a year later, it gets upgraded to the newness.

Yep its true ok, spoke to thomann in germany (massive european retailer) and they confirmed that they have the v2 in stock. .. maybe rcf should have done their revision a bit more before releasing v1, they obviously learned from evox 12...

Rebelguy 4:30 PM - 2 October, 2015

I'm curious how much of a difference is.

pikeyh 4:37 PM - 2 October, 2015

cant see it being that great a difference, its still only 2" drivers 12 driver and same amplification, just think its a bit of a swizz as he new v2 versions are not more expensive (in fact since the evox 12 release the price has come down in europe and uk) oh well still happy with mine, but as you said it would be nice to hear what difference there is between the two..anyone heard both???????????

regarding the evox 8 v2 here is what i was told

" From the USA sales manager

Because they have not shipped version 2 yet, when they start to actually ship them I will send out the info. If I do before we have the product people may stop purchasing the V 1. Italy has a habit of telling people about things and not sending them until a year later. So far no V2 have been shipped.
V2 will have FIR filters in the DSP.
I'll keep you in the loop!"

Joee, I spoke with Justin Brock of RCF-USA and he said the Evox 8 V2's just use different parts that were changed due to availability and NOT performance. He said the new versions (which are not in the U.S. yet) will not perform any differently than the existing Evox 8 system.

i learned to stop listening to them guys, before the evox 12 came out they said it has an 18" sub

heres what they said about the V2 version:

"Starting from August 2015, RCF will launch a V2 release of EVOX 5 and EVOX 8 active two-way arrays. These products feature a new firmware and new 2.0" transducers improving audio performances, impulse response and SPL.

The column and subwoofer of these products are not properly compatible with parts of the previous version. Pay attention and avoid pairing different versions of columns and subwoofers, otherwise the sound of the system may not result optimized.

You can easily recognize V2 products from the input lables on the column and subwoofer. The new version presents an orange V2 symbol V2."

Right, that message is from "All Music" not RCF. Justin at RCF in the U.S. has never steered me wrong. His info has always been accurate. He even knew the weight of each piece of the Evox 12 when I couldn't find specs anywhere else and he ended up being "right on the money"... just sayin'

BTW, no speaker company is making ALL of their parts internally.

They are made up of crossovers, electronic chips, specific moldings, etc..etc.

Personally, I prefer the sound of the RCF subs over QSC. Plus, I feel that the KW181 is awkward to lift. Just my opinion.

DJ 3XOTIC 9:08 PM - 19 November, 2015

Sound wise, how would the two compare. I know the kw181 is a great sub but never heard the rcf 705asii. Which also gets louder and more spl.

if the new 705 is anything like the 905 they will make kw181 users happy while being more compact

DJ 3XOTIC 1:57 AM - 20 November, 2015

The rcf312 mk3 and 705asii vs k12 and kw181 sound quality, loudness, and spl?

I have been using a pair of EVOX 8 for a year now and very happy with them.

I am now considering buying a pair of EVOX12 for larger events or maybe another set of EVOX8.

I wanted to see if anyone has every used 4 EVOX 8 for larger events. Basically using a pair of EVOX8 on each side.

Any thoughts on how 4 Evox8 would compare to 2 EVOX 12?

Thanks,

That would be a terrible idea. They are designed to used one per side. With 120 degree horizontal coverage, running a pair side by side would result in tons of comb filtering and cancellation of certain frequencies. If you need more sound, get a second system with 60 degree tops and multiple 18 subwoofers. The Exov 8 is what it is - a small, very portable system that sounds good for its size.

Whoaaaa!!! That was one hell of a read. I just copped a set of Evox 8' s and wanted to know what the Serato community thought. As most of you know there's a bunch of unnecessary chatter but every forum has those type.
So, I'm just starting my collection of equipment so these are my first set of speakers. I started looking at RCF because of Brian s Redd's videos and I'm quite happy with them. I got my first one off Craigslist from a guy who won it in a raffel for $1000.00 including bag, the second for $1300.00 (no bag) from a price matching retailer. I'll post up photos later of my sons rig. Oh, I almost forgot this setup is for my son.

Thank you all for your input, videos and reviews.
Peace and chicken grease.

Just1Fixxx 1:08 PM - 30 January, 2016

$2300 for (2) 8's... you got a hell of a deal, my friend.

philpz 2:05 PM - 2 February, 2016

Just bought two of the EVOX 8's brand new with covers for $1390 each online...best price I found after pretty extensive search...not B-stock or refurbished...

Havent used them yet but after a quick sound check in the garage, am pretty pleased with the sound quality! Not ready to get rid of my EV powered subs and tops, but looking forward to an easier set up, awesome sound quality, and nice eye appeal in my upcoming gigs...

I dont know if I am going to get any extra gigs from this investment, although a clean sound and great look will certainly be appealing to potential new clients at the events, but the ease of transport, and set up was the deciding factor for me...now to come up with a quality wireless system!!

Does that mean they're coming down in price?

China gets a bad rap these days but just like Japan was considered cheap manufacturing in the 80s and became quality by the 90s, same could be said about China these days.

I wonder if this will affect Canadian pricing. Rcf gear is ridiculously high in Canada and I was told it had something to do with tariffs over Italian products. Wonder if this will change anything...

I noticed the LD Systems Maui speakers got mentioned here. I have been using the RCF Evox 8s for awhile and I just found another DJ with the Maui 28s and we did a comparison. They are pretty close. I think the Maui actually sounds a little fuller. I might buy the Maui speakers. I like the look over the Evox (no cord from sub to top). The one-bag feature of the Evox is great, but I think the Mauis sound a tad bit better. I'm sure the Maui 44 is awesome, but I don't want as sub that heavy for what I do.

Joee 10:06 PM - 30 January, 2018

was up mike......hold of a bit till you here the evox j8, fuller bass and better top end is what rcf is saying ,price point is $1,000 www.rcf.it

Mike Sinclair 10:11 PM - 30 January, 2018

Joee, I was wondering about the J8... thing is, they are heavier than the current Evox 8 and they are plastic. Not sure, I'd have to hear them.

DJ Michael Basic 11:14 PM - 30 January, 2018

There were a TON of mini line-array speaker setups at NAMM. Every speaker company you can imagine had their own version.

There's a version of the J8 that has a built in mixer too, they said price point will be around $1400.

dj_soo 12:25 AM - 31 January, 2018

DJ Michael Basic 12:53 AM - 31 January, 2018

The problem with NAMM is, you can't really listen to all these speakers since the booths are still close together, so its hard to tell if anything is good or crap or amazing. I guess we'll have to wait and see when its all released, but definitely this technology is gonna be huge this year.

Design plays a part in it too tho - something like the db Technologies ES1203 shines with its modular design where you can use a single unit and split the tops to get stereo coverage and then go on the chain like 4 units together and get to 16 drivers over 2 double 12" subs on each side.I don't think any other unit on the market offers that sort mix of flexibility and output/power right now.

I'm bringing back this old thread.

I'm thinking about ditching my 15 inch JBL SRX (2000watts) tops & JBL PRX 15 (1500watts) subs for a set of the RCF Evo..

My only issue with JBL is that it sounds the same as a RCF setup and of course... JBL SRX speaker is heavy AF and I always hit the limiter on JBL.

Any thoughts on this guys?

raedonquan 7:10 PM - 24 February, 2019

then the evox is not for you if you running the srx... cause you will smoke those evox...

the evox8 is only a 700watt speaker... and the spl you are getting from your srx system will not come close.

if you truly want the evox8 for those small none bass rattling events then its good for 150 folks .

what could come close to what you have is the evox12..

if you want something close and scalable is the rcf nlx24 and the sub 8004as... but way more that you spent for the srx system

Arjun B 8:42 PM - 24 February, 2019

If the JBL srx kit isn't enough for you, then nothing that you can buy in the similar price range will be any better. You will have to spend atleast 2x the money to get something that will outperform the JBL srx kit, of course with the exception of the RCF art745a.

the prx will limit faster than the srx, thats obvious

Arjun B 8:43 PM - 24 February, 2019

you should look into adding subs so that you can highpass the tops and get more volume out of the,

150 people at a wedding or a rave / club night?

The Evox12 will do the 150 wedding no problem and it will set up in a fraction of the time. For club nights you are better off improving the subwoofers you already have and keeping your tops. The Evox12 is going to have similar bass to what you already have but everything over 150 Hz is going to sound more even at the back of your audience than your current speakers at low and high volumes.

Hey guys,

I recently purchased a JMIX8 that was working great for a few months. However the other day on a gig, the screen totally froze right in the middle of a set. I rebooted the unit to find the screen still illuminated but completely blank. Ever since then, every time I power on the unit, the screen remains completely blank. Has anyone else had this happen? Any suggestions on what might have caused this to happen or how to fix this?

577er 1:43 PM - 5 November, 2019

Yes the volume dial should be all the way up. The J8 also benefit greatly from a DBX goRack or multiband EQ if you have one. It just wakes them up as they can sound a bit lifeless otherwise - especially at low volumes.

If you are doing weddings the portability & looks they offer are worth the trade off in sound quality IMO. I’d add a sub for events over 120 people or in huge rooms.

I did at one event, but then at another I didn’t since I wasn’t sure. But I will moving forward since you all confirmed this.

Overall, I am very happy with the purchase. They clarity, portability are perfect. Everything fits nicely in my car. Most events I do are never really more than 100 people. So this really works. I may buy a nice external sub for a bit more bass for different stuff.

They’re not as pretty as the wooden evox series 8, but still nice. One issue I have is there’s this little plastic piece that secures the top mount pole from being wobbly, and I believe there’s no real way to just keep it in there once assemble (I could be wrong) but that can get lost very easily. Not a fan of that at all.

577er 5:33 PM - 5 November, 2019

There are goRacks on eBay for like $120 or... $3000 (wtf?).

a Driverack would be the best option.

You could try any of the following:

Rolls STEREO SONIC MAXIMIZER This is probably as close to the goRack as you will find.

BBE Sound BBE882i - it’s a “sonic maximizer” so it just does whatever it does but basically a goRack lite with fewer options.

FMR Audio RNLA7239 compressor but it doesn’t have any EQ or subharmonic synthesis.

ART EQ341 EQ would probably be a big help and you know what you are boosting and cutting.

Lastly there is the Behringer SX3040 V2 Sonic Exciter which is inherently unreliable as it’s a behringer...

I think it was someones pet project then got shot down from higher up in the company. I can’t imagine another reason it got zapped. Maybe it sold too well or not well enough? It’s power supply is garbage so maybe Harmon didn’t want to be associated with cheapo stuff? It’s a super useful but very unprofessional unit. I feel like they could add an IEC plug and charge $300 and sell them all day long but who knows. Big companies aren’t interested in the perfect product people want but profit margins and quarterly sales goals... bla bla bla.
