I would think this would be great for ceremonies but question , I do some sporting events like High School Football , you think these would be good for fillers same good for fillers for a large wedding
Just saw a deal here for the wave 8 at 750 euros so getting more into my price range.. Torn between this and the Ev everse 8.. Will be mainly used for techno/house/psytrance bit of reggae etc.. the alpha theta wave eight specs mention the frequency response to be 20Hz-20khz this is awesome how true is it...?? The everse 8 goes down to 50Hz Any thoughts? Thanks for the vid ✌️
1:45 I think you’ve misunderstood the spec sheet. The Bluetooth is 5.1 but SonicLink is based off 2.4GHz. You can get a wireless XLR system based off this frequency for £85 (the t.bone free2b from Thomann). I’m baffled why this feature is getting so much press. The UHF frequency is much less cluttered (Think about it, Wi-Fi runs on 2.4GHz) and offers low latency. Get yourself the Soundboks with a UHF wireless system 🤷🏽♂️
Cool features and everything but I don’t think it all adds up to more than double the price of a Thump Go. Also I think wheels on an 8” speaker is kinda weird, unless the battery in it is much larger than the Mackie has and is like 10lbs heavier.
Why are they not specifying the max SPL on this thing anywhere ? How am I supposed to know how loud it can get ? It almost seems like they're hiding it cause it's a standard spec that's always specified on speakers like these.
Great vid. The wheels are a curious option...envisioning the controller bag in 1 hand while rolling only 1 speaker, posting up any & everywhere to play for _______.
Having trouble with the bluetooth on the wave eight. it links to one and not the other one unless I turn the first one off and back on. Also, after awhile, the bluetooth on one speaker syops working even though the light is still on. Then I have to fool around with them to get them both working together via bluetooth again...wtf????
I wish they were more sleek in the design. It looks like the speaker cover was left off, like the old school home speakers. Great review though! Thanks
The biggest question I wanted answered, and this points to PRICE POINT. “IS THERE A DELAY IN THE SOUND WHEN DJing, OR NOT? Do they sound the same or about the same as HARD WIRING IT??? Compared to the Bluetooth connectivity, which we know already about Bluetooth and its issues. Because if there is NO DELAY, or very close to it, then I would say it JUSTIFIES the PRICE INCREASE!!!
Its like 28 lbs, so it should be better than most of the battery speakers and that's why it has a handle and wheels. Another note the wireless part unfortunately runs on the 2.4Ghz frequency.(like Bluetooth)
Thanks for the review. They only this is look "plasticy" to me. Especially when you take off the side-door for the sonic-link. I'll check them out this weekend but I wanted to know your thoughts. Thanks
I can definitely hear the difference between the two. The Wave Eight is much better. I had the Thump Go a couple years ago, but returned it. It sounded so shitty to me. I like the Everse 8 the best for the size. Sounds great and looks professional. This Wave Eight isn’t the best looking and the light in the front is tacky. I’m not sure if you can turn it off. The wireless feature is dope though. I’m sure down the road they’ll also come out with 12” and 15” options for bigger parties.
Pretty pricy for lack of power,I used diamondboxx pa15 for a few and did pretty solid performance . Also bought the diamondboxx sub15" subs but didn't like bass, it was lacking tight bass . I think I went through about 20 pairs in my dj span and some of the cheaper ones (passive) blew all the powered ones away. Any way thanks for the video you did a great job.
I'm sure that my 8" DIY sub put's more bunch than that. 18:15 But it's no wireless. And that's the problem whit the lowstairs. Moro power!!! All thou great review.
400$ Db technologies es602 is a 10" column speaker.14 kg no need of tripods. 200$ A little lifepo4 power station and a cheap AliExpress tx/rx XLR line transmitter. 3x louder with some bass
@@francoluigimendes I tested the rcf evox j8 at 60-65% volume it consume 70 watt on the display of the power station I think the dB 602 can play music for 7-8 hours using a 700 Wh Power station
The only thing I like about the omnis or the wave 8 is this sonic link. That’s the only game changer that I see. I’ll wait for that tech to become available by another developer. The wave 8 looks like a Best Buy beach speaker
I don’t get the excitement. The newer Bose S1 Pro has that too but wasn’t big enough to beat the Everse 8. This is still a 2.4ghz system so I’d have a hard time fully trusting it.
I do like the idea of built in though. It’s a bit clunky with the receiver on top of the speaker. I’ve seen a few people say it works in 5Ghz but all the documentation on their website shows 2.4ghz. 5Ghz wouldn’t excite me either as the lower frequencies tend to travel better especially through walls.
I love the wireless transmission of the sonic link. the Wave-Eight is just.....ugly as F. Give me something to cover the front. The everse 8 is just so much smaller/lighter; If I was going 26lbs and that size I'm going Everse 12. Great review!
at this point with this Dj Survival Kit i fell like im getting more battery packs than an actual Dj Setup. The wireless connectivity looks Lame just the fact that its Battery operated or Rechargable along with all the other components its a BIG no for me. in all honesty it would get more views if it was a GEMINI product., But it's coming from a well stablished far more advanced Product Maker. and over priced AF. Mattel or Play-Doh would not mind putting it on its Shelves. MPO Thanks.
Not a hot take, it’s definitely one of the uglier speakers I’ve seen. Seems like something I would rent out but then the price is way too high to justify.

Can't wait for DJs to start saying that a pair of these can handle a 400 guest wedding.
At least 400 bro. 😂
lol, probably only 50 max
Appreciate the realness and real world reviews you provide CT.

I got my wireless info from alpha theta. Looks like they gave me incorrect info.
I’ll bet Pioneer DJ wouldn’t make a mistake like that 😏
Thanks for this, I really enjoy all your honest reviews! Did you ever hear the Yorkville EXM Mobile 8? How dos the Wave 8 compare to it soundwise?
Cool features and everything but I don’t think it all adds up to more than double the price of a Thump Go.

Hey Terry, have you tried scratching or anything similar to test the latency in something requiring no latency?
Why are they not specifying the max SPL on this thing anywhere ? How am I supposed to know how loud it can get ? It almost seems like they're hiding it cause it's a standard spec that's always specified on speakers like these.

Too expensive, you could get 2 powered mackie’s and the alto stealth 1 for less
Pioneer Tax though, always about 30% more expensive than they should be :)
@@bigdaz7272 You mean Alpha Theta tax! they own Pioneer Dj haha
@@DjTRex08 Yes, we defo know this Alpha Theta range ain't gonna be any reasonably priced stuffs LOL
What’s the alto stealth actailly do?
Just admit it you're broke 🤦🏿♂️
Do the sell just the sonic link?
that's what I want to know!!
That technology out there already. Get some. Skaa. And call it a day

Exactly what I was thinking. Looks cheap to me.

No latency or delay with wave eight speakers using the sonic link
Its like 28 lbs, so it should be better than most of the battery speakers and that's why it has a handle and wheels. Another note the wireless part unfortunately runs on the 2.4Ghz frequency.(like Bluetooth)
I'm an Everse 8 solo musician user looking for SPL on this speaker?
It's 114spl alpha won't actually put that anywhere. The size of this and price they need to start comparing it to the everse 12.
Forget the hardware what about improving the stems????!!!!
Is the Wave 8 battery replaceable ?
No.
Can the Sonic link work with the Opus Quad?
Yes
can plug in everything with an RCA-out
What’s the battery life?
8 hrs
Thanks for the review. They only this is look "plasticy" to me. Especially when you take off the side-door for the sonic-link. I'll check them out this weekend but I wanted to know your thoughts. Thanks
The main problem with wave 8 is non replaceable battery
Thanks bro ,how ever I think sonic link on dj controllers it self bis the way to go hopefully in 2024 no more audio cable natively!!!!!!
Where would the Sonic Link unit be sold for the controller?
The sonic link is apart of the speaker itself. Won’t be sold separately
Can definitely hear the difference when you started to push them & the technology is nice, is it worth double the money? we'll see.

1st they are top heavy, 2nd well balanced. What is it?
This looks like those cheap party speaker all it’s missing is the lights.

Everse 8 all day.....
Too expensive, I can get two go thumps for the price of one of those.
great option for 2 person party at most. lol
I'm sure that my 8" DIY sub put's more bunch than that. 18:15 But it's no wireless. And that's the problem whit the lowstairs. Moro power!!! All thou great review.
What are the names of tracks you are playing?
400$ Db technologies es602 is a 10" column speaker.14 kg no need of tripods.
200$ A little lifepo4 power station and a cheap AliExpress tx/rx XLR line transmitter. 3x louder with some bass
How long can you run the db es602 on a 600Wh power station for? Did you do the test? I would assume it will not run for 8hrs.
@@francoluigimendes I tested the rcf evox j8 at 60-65% volume it consume 70 watt on the display of the power station
I think the dB 602 can play music for 7-8 hours using a 700 Wh Power station
What is that beat starting 13.00 minute?
How do they compare to the JBL 310s?
CT without a hat is strange
What subwoofer you used
This is the beginning of girls being physically strong enough to do a set up.
Dope. The alpha works nice on higher levels
I thought I saw this at bj’s lol

Two words... Ug & Ly.
Listening through premium headphones and they sound horrible
even tried through dac with rp 8000 f ii speakers still horrible
Hot garbage. What the hell is AlphaTheta thinking? I'll stick with my PrimeGo and save a bunch of money thank you very much.

el mackie para lo que vale es mejor que el apha theta
👍🏾
The only good thing we can do it's not to buy this shit!
If you’re using an 8” top as a sub you should be arrested.
its ugly! still ovaral value thumps r still the better option of all battery powered
they sound awful though when you push them though, like the speakers at a county fair, the ones next to the rides.
this and the omni way too expensive and useless..pioneer going backwards
