I bought the Evox 8 a few years back and now have done a lot of gigs with it (1 man, vocals, guitars and backing tracks) and it’s amazing. Ideal for what I do and the bars, venues I play. And I’ve never found it lacking. Quality, size, portability and sound of course …..100% 👌
@@MateuPeramiquel 1. The way it disperses the sound is amazing. Very even and crisp and not over powering. And I always get compliments on the quality of the sound too.
The vocals on that demo song were twice as clear on the 8 compared to the 12. I was shocked when they said the 12 was the clear winner. Guess ya' had to be there.. Thanks for the vid! 😊
both are for .... small venues. Not an optimal choice for live. But the EVOX 8 it sounds more clear ( mids and highs ) than EVOX 12. In reality and also here in youtube. The difference is huge. So, I don't understand what you hear but it's so clear, even for unexperimental ears. This clearance spectrum it's the most important detail for a quality sound test. It's to easy to have a low end nice or a low mid frequency but... a real clear mid and a real high definition ( without any distorsions ) it's the big challenge. So, no doubt........EVOX 8 !
i used the evox 8 for years, just bought jmix 8 and j8 combo. Why? space reasons. If you can afford the larger evox 12s and handle the extra weight plus have the room. You cant go wrong with evox 12s. Most of my events are under 200 people so the JMIX, J8 combo is fine for me. I may add one of those tiny EV subs in the future.
Also what I loved of my first use of the unique Evox 8 I recently purchased, is the beauty, always considered the tripods horrible... that set up with the small high unit looks elegant!
Thanks. Really enjoyed your comparison as I've been deliberating between these 2 systems. There is quite a significant price difference though definitely will pursue 2 of the Evox 12 for a Live Rock band. Also have the impression that the Evox 12 could be too big for smaller short throw situations as it seems to need a certain minimal distance compared to the Evox 8? You've helped dispel that concern as well with is great. I feel the 15 is way more appropriate for a live kick drum and bass guitar hence, the inclination towards the Evox 12. It was very helpful to visualise the size differences as well! Great video that Im sure a many have been waiting for. Thanks again. Peace.
The miracle of the line array...its amazing , when you are close they sound like far away , and when moving back they seem to be closer...even top hifi sysyems like the big infinity's use this acoustic trick....and an old mc Intosh engeneer ended with line array fullrange speakers as best compromise...for audio hifi home systems
I think the best setup for DJs is the EVOX8 and use a sub with it. The EVOX12 still doesn't produce audio super low, so I think most are better off with the EVOX8 and a sub or subs.
Thank you so much for your video, after much consideration I bought the Revox 12 set. I have already played some parties and I do have the idea that the Revox 8 set is more suitable for small venues. The spreading sound of the Revox 12 is superb. This weekend I have an outdoor event for 300 people. I plan to add 2 extra subwoofers, will this be enough to produce 90db sound pressure for the entire crowd?
Yes, the EVOX 12s sound great! Yes, they should be able to provide adequate sound. Just know your sound placement and any dead areas where some filler speakers can be helpful.
I think if you would put the 12 side by side with the EVolve 50,.. EV has great high and mids -clear. RCF has more low ends...just my thoughts. But I would love to get one of these (RCF)
Evox 8 sounded almost muddy & drowned out compared to the 12. But we’re comparing a much bigger system so that’s a no brainer. Evox 12 would be my pick mainly because it would cater to more ppl and push sound further.
I use my Evox 8 for crowds up to 100. I play a lot of hip hop and House which is very bass heavy. I have also used the Evox 12. I would stay at crowds below 200 with that system.
I am saying up to 200 with the evox 12 for bass heavy music. Add an additional sub and crossover the evox at 80hz or 100hz and larger crowds are possible.
Hey Mo Joe - I'm done with my QSC K.12.2s no matter how much I EQ them the highs sound so harsh - almost distorted when I crank it up. For the price - I think 4 J8s may be a better value instead of 2 Evox 12s. Curious on your opinion.
Yea I agree with you. At high volumes the QSC didn’t sound as good. I think the 4 J8s would be better for more sound coverage and you can spread them out more. I think the EVOX 12s would be good just for dance floor. For me, what ends up happening is that I would use the EVOX 12s for the dance floor and 2 smaller speakers on the sides/back of the room for more coverage
I disagree on a couple things. I would use my qsc system over evox any day. The evox system is good, but it just doesn’t bang like two k12s and two qsc subs. I’ve used them both, and the qsc system really bumps compared to evox. Secondly, I know a guy who uses 4 column speakers, to make up for the lack of bass, and coverage, and it looks horrible!!! Looks like speakers on sale in a showroom. It looks really really bad, tacky.
@@cesnav7593 you have good points - I ended purchasing an RCF F10-XR external mixer - lowered the mids by 70 to 80%. That made a world of difference for my QSC K.12.2s. The harsh sound is gone - Now they sound super clean.
@@superdad8274 just an update- I purchased a QSC Touchmix 8 - it made a world of difference on the sound for my QSC K.12.2s - I set the mids on the parametric EQ at about 25% - super clean.
I bought an Evox 5 in June 2018. I used it for small venues, it was great. I sold it and bought the Evox 8. I have a regular weekend gig in my local pub every Friday and Saturday night. The acoustics in the pub are terrible but the Evox 8 still has lots of headroom if needed. I only really drive the unit at around half power. The volume on the back of the Evox 8 is set to 4 o' clock. My master faders on my mixer are set to -5db. The Stereo fader is set to around halfway up. So I still have LOTS of umph to give the Evox 8 if needed. I was wondering whether to sell the 8 and buy the 12....but on reflection, they both have the same 1400 watt amp fitted, so I might just buy another Evox 8. That means 2 x 12" bass drivers (total of 24"), and 16 x 2" drivers (total of 32" speaker). Plus I'll have 2800 watts to play with!!
I have the Evox 8. I need a rig for a 1 man operation. I also have a RCF sub from my previous rig. Good thing that i kept it. The Evox 8 hits the limiter with loud House or Hip Hop music. When I have that type of gig I take a sub and xover to the J8's . That really takes a load off of the Evox 8 and I get my hard hitting bass.
Hi Kevin! I forget which setting I use. I’ll check it the next time I use it. Try testing around with it and see which you like best. You may need to adjust settings on your mixer to get the best sound output
Thanks!! Nice video! ,I think i go for the RCF EVOX 8. I now have two db technologies es 602 speakers, but still miss a little low when I go harder, and the limiter strikes faster. So i am very curious about the evox 8. And 12 inches instead of 10, that's already a difference
Hi thanks for watching! The EVOX 8 are great! I still use them till this day. From what i heard from other uses, it's hard to limit these speakers, and if they do, it's still a clean sound. If you want a 15" sub, check out the EVOX 12 which sounds even fuller and even more amazing.
Hi! A question, shoud i get 2 evox 8 or 2 hd12s and a sub? For electronic music? can´t find much information so it would be really helpfull your opinion. thanks!
It doesn’t have a mixer in the back to plug all those in. You would need a separate mixer. If you get the RCF JMIX 8, then yes, you can connect guitar and mics directly to the speaker
For the purpose of this test since we’re in a backyard, we just adjusted the volume until it’s the same, so we’re just focusing on the quality of the audio. But yes, I normally run the speaker knob at full then control the volume through the mixer
Grazie ragazzi è incredibile che da italiano debba trovare delle buone recensioni dalla fantastica Florida. Io mi occupo di spettacoli con un gioco a quiz dal vivo e la mia più grande necessità è avere una qualità sulla voce visto che dobbiamo leggere i quesiti che mostriamo a monitor.
Great video man! I thinking about purchase a pair of rcf. In your opinión, for a Rock Band, for how many people can handle a pair of Evox12 outdoors? And how many people for a pair of Evox8? Thanks!
@DJ MoJoe : I just bought a pair of the evox 8, used for the first time last night at a wedding. My mic was not cutting through compared to my usual art422 2-way setup. I had to really turn up the trim on my SX3 to where it was in the red. Using SLX beta 87. They also were hitting the limit light occasionally. I’m having second thoughts, they sound great but feel I can’t get them loud enough and being that my mic/voice is not loud enough is disappointing. I had high hopes for these but feel let down. Have you come across this, how do you run yours? Looking into the evox 12 now. Thx bro
I agree...the EVOX 8s aren't loud enough for me. I use them as side fills or in very small rooms. Which is why I'm considering the EVOX 12 ...as I hope those are loud enough. I don't want to have to bring a sub when I'm using these as that defeats the purpose I think.
Hi there, can you plug a phone or ipad into the 1/4 inch jack socket on the back of both the evox 8 and 12 and play music from the phone/ipad through the speaker? Just thinking for back up purposes. Thanks
hey there! you would need the proper connection for it. a 1/8" to male XLR cable. You can only input 1 source into the back of the speaker. If you want multiple, you would need a small mixer. The 1/4 " socket in the back of the EVOX 8/12 is an output, not an input. Hope this helps!
Hey man really enjoy your videos on on DJ gear. I am solo mobile DJ looking at buying a subwoofer either a dual 12inch or single 15inch. Any suggestions you can give ? It needs to be light 25-30kg and pack a serious punch. My tops are RCF HD12-A QSC K12.2 RCF Art 715 I would really appreciate it if you have afew min to make a recommendations for a solid 15inch sub. That is light and has SPL 130+
Thank you so much for this Vidoe . . . Helps so much with real-life users giving their opinions. How many people would you be able to serve with 2 Evox 8's in your opinion?
In an outdoor setting, I've done between 150-200. All depends on the acoustics too. In an open outdoor setting, it would've been better if you add more low-end or a subwoofer.
Honestly, thanks for the video, very helpful but sincerely, how big the crowd are you managed with that pair of Evox 8? the answer will be significant because I am near to buy Evox, I am in Spain and don't want to spend 3500 Euros when most of my gigs are maximum 500 people, also I am not a DJ, I have a live Latin Band, the bass as you probably know is mostly 4 strings so instead of deeper I will need a "percussive" or punch bass. Let me know thanks!
For the EVOX 8, for the most part 200 guests or less, and now I add an additional subwoofer sometimes with my EVOX 8. For over 200, the EVOX 12 would sound much better, and it has a 15" subwoofer so it will be deeper than the EVOX 8
500 people? No way with Evox 8’s, I think 200 is pushing them to the max, I use Art 712’ s mk4 and 905 mk2’s for a max of 250 people and they are way more powerful than an evox 8 pair, and I wouldn’t consider my set enough for 500 people.
@@djmojoeofficial Purchased only one Evox 8 (was what I could afford) I love the bass and the sound, yesterday for first time I put it on my apartment's terrace and covered more than a block!
@@ObanHighlander Depend what you are doing sound and how... I am not a DJ, so I don't need that deep bass DJ's use, usually our bass player uses a 4 strings or 5 strings instruments which does not produce notes so low, concentrating as a Latin band with more of mid ranges and vocals the bass is at the end a link between percussion and harmony, and where I love and work now in Spain, there are regulations that don't allow even in a public space outside to get more than 90dB by law.
@@thelatinensemble4670 agree with you about the bass, the beauty of the system is it's portability and simplicity of set up, I don't personally have an Evox set, I have a similar set from db Technologies , they are great little sets, I use it for buisness meetings, work party's, kid's party's and other small events, I still feel though 200 people is a lot of people for such a small set, maybe a good idea to see if it's possible to hire a set out first and see how it goes before investing in a set, the Evox is qaulity gear and though not super expensive, it would be a shame to invest in a set and find out it's not giving you what you looked for, the Evox 12 would definetly be a better choice, but they are considerably more expensive, try before you buy is I think the best advice.
Hard to say, it really depends on the acoustics of the room and what will sound great. The EVOX 8s are great for a dance floor 100-200 in my opinion, and can't go wrong if you add more low end with an extra subwoofer. But if you're in a big room, weirdly shape room, or echoed room you would definitely need more speakers so that way it all sounds clear for your guests.
I'd like to see a comparison with typical high performance PA speakers and a sub versus any of the EVOX form factor. Lets say for comparison even the large one EVOX12, aiming for a 130db peak, the 12" Yorkville Parasouce PS12P pole mounted on a PS15S sub should be more capable outdoors at distance. The RCF and Yorkville subs should have similar capability being both 15". But the PS12P 12" woofer and a 12"x9" horn has much more surface area than the 8x 4" full range in the EVOX12. This means that the more compact PS12P should couple with more air and sound fuller at distance. I'm sure the EVOX12 sound great though but I never heard any EVOX setups in person! I use 2 x PS12P and 2 x PS15P and its the strongest sound I've ever heard for a small portable system outdoor. EVOX 12 is also twice the cost.
its not a fair comparison, you are talking about a 15" sub with 8 top elements 4" and 130 db with 1400w peak against a 12" sub with 8 tops 2", 128db so sure the evox 12 would win, i think a good comparison would be the couple of evox 12 with a couple of 735 mk4, the mk4 have 133db (i think), with a 3" driver but it lacks the low range of the evox12, and why im saying this? because i cant decide if i want to keep my pair of 735 mk4 or replace them with a couple of evox 12 :)
Hi Mike! I’m now using a new system from BassBoss, the SV9 top and the BB15 sub. Sounds so much better than the EVOX 12. So much smoother and the low end is very satisfying. I don’t know anyone around my area that has the 735 to do a comparison. Wish you the best
Yes, but the evox 12 is designed completely differently and cannot be compared at all with the j8. It certainly sounds wider, but not as much as the price suggests.
The EVOX 8 uses wood, the J8 doesn’t. The J8s have a white speaker option, the EVOX 8 doesn’t or just very hard to find. The J8’s shape is slightly different from the EVOX 8, the EVOX 8 is more square and less rounded than the J8. The J8 also have a Jmix8 that have a built-in mixer. The EVOX 8 doesn’t.
On their own, they cannot. If you want to send sound wirelessly to these speakers, you would need a different setup. I use the Shure PSM900 and Shure P9RA. kit.co/djmojoe/wireless-sound-kit-2-0-2021
Hi Michael, depends on the room size. 2 Evox 12s would be amazing for the dance floor. But depending on the size of the room and if there are any dead spots in the room where guests are sitting, it's good to have some sound reinforcement so they can hear the speeches and music. Similar to a club where everywhere you go, you can hear the music. And with speaker reinforcement, you have more control of the sound at specific areas of the room.
What do you think? What would be the best pair of extended low subwoofer on that evox 12 or evox 8? Do you think rcf or db technologies active subwoofer will fitted to them?
I'm not too exactly sure, I think that's the max height. Beauty of it is that it just uses regular speaker poles with a thread at the bottom. Not sure of what the exact measurements, but nothing too out of the ordinary
Two pairs of RCF EVOX 12 (so total of 4 speakers) which can cover 1000 people. Also depends on where you place them in relation to the people. Charlie owns 4 EVOX 12s, I only own 2 EVOX 8s.
Not too many lines to give you an idea, as DJ MoJoe I had a couple of QSC k12, with a pair of subs Mackie. Sold them all and purchased 2 sets of Bose F12 with the subs. That was the worst decision I ever made!. Same venues, so the constant were the places, did the first gig that regularly is a Havana Night on Thursdays in an outdoor hotel, Bose don't have the same power to reach the 200 average people, a few day after the not so good first gig I was booked with a 7 guys band to play for the Mayor of Miami Beach for a 300 people in a ballroom, that was worse! when the place was with that crowd one of the speakers just shut down because the inevitable clipping (when one K12 was in comfort zone at that level). I have decided to sell everything, even 4 Bose S1Pro that were used as floor monitors. The good thing was my daughter was an employee for a Bose Store, so I have paid 50% less for everything, at the time of getting the money I got much more than I spent and of course less that the brand new value, but enough to buy again a pair of K12.2 with subs. As DJMoJoe I am deciding but definitively get the Evox.. the problem is what I want and what I can afford... Already sold the QSC's and the subs, and managing which ones I will get.
Really really good.. I like so much this comparison because we could hear the quality sound of both, side by side. I think that.. with more economic effort, the Evox 12 is better investment. With a bit more money, you can be ready to attendant an event above 300 person quietly... Thanks a lot for this video.
My crowds average 80 - 200 people. Although I'd like to have these speakers, I'll stick with spreading out my 4 QSC speakers (2 k-12's and 2 k-8's), these are just too expensive for me.
I understand the source is the same but a phone ....really!! Headphone output does not have the dynamic range of a simple line out even from a cheep cd player. You would need to boost the input as line is 150mv but don't use a phone
2 Evox 8s would have more sound coverage than 1 EVOX 12 because you'll have 2 sound point sources if you spread the EVOX 8s. You only get one sound point source if you just use 1 EVOX 12. Personally, I like it when I hear music left and right, then just one area
ruclips.net/video/USveu11HWh0/видео.html We call the system Quad Sonic by placing 4 systems in a square 200 ft away from eachother ? if you do that my friend, you get just one small sweetspot in the middle and everywhere else in that square you'll hear a bounce back. The Evox series have no build in delay filter, but even if so, you'll have to put them in a different position if you want to cover a square of 200ft.
you are right i have 1 pair of this and we set it upin a venue its open venue the lot is a size of 4baketball court with 400 people on it even you are 150 meters away you can feel the bass and the vocals and instrument is. loud and clear on that distance i must say its a good product super quality and one thing more feed backs is easily manegeable and also its handy i can fit all of my gears in my suv together with this. only one thing i didnt like in this model is the bag is so expensive hehehe.
I think you guys are on meth ..... You aren't moving any air with that mince setup. This style of speaker is terrible to use especially outdoors! They are great for small 50-people gigs and if you can't lift your arm above your head that's about it

I have the Evox 8. I need a rig for a 1 man operation. I also have a RCF sub from my previous rig. Good thing that i kept it. The Evox 8 hits the limiter with loud House or Hip Hop music. When I have that type of gig I take a sub and xover to the J8's . That really takes a load off of the Evox 8 and I get my hard hitting bass.
What's the best setting to use on the evox 12? The back of the sub setting? Mic or line? What's do you have it set on
Hi Kevin! I forget which setting I use. I’ll check it the next time I use it. Try testing around with it and see which you like best. You may need to adjust settings on your mixer to get the best sound output
@@djmojoeofficial ok thanks
Thanks!! Nice video! ,I think i go for the RCF EVOX 8. I now have two db technologies es 602 speakers, but still miss a little low when I go harder, and the limiter strikes faster. So i am very curious about the evox 8. And 12 inches instead of 10, that's already a difference
Hi thanks for watching! The EVOX 8 are great! I still use them till this day. From what i heard from other uses, it's hard to limit these speakers, and if they do, it's still a clean sound. If you want a 15" sub, check out the EVOX 12 which sounds even fuller and even more amazing.
Hi! A question, shoud i get 2 evox 8 or 2 hd12s and a sub? For electronic music? can´t find much information so it would be really helpfull your opinion. thanks!
So you can also connect guitar and vocals on it. Right?
It doesn’t have a mixer in the back to plug all those in. You would need a separate mixer.
If you get the RCF JMIX 8, then yes, you can connect guitar and mics directly to the speaker
Isn't the speaker volume suppose to be at full? I see the 8 is at 12 high and the 12 is at 9 o'clock. Am I wrong?
For the purpose of this test since we’re in a backyard, we just adjusted the volume until it’s the same, so we’re just focusing on the quality of the audio.
But yes, I normally run the speaker knob at full then control the volume through the mixer

Great video man! I thinking about purchase a pair of rcf. In your opinión, for a Rock Band, for how many people can handle a pair of Evox12 outdoors? And how many people for a pair of Evox8? Thanks!
Really depends on the room and acoustics. EVOX 12 is powerful. Some people say EVOX 12 200-400 people, Evox 8, 100-150 or 200.
Or have multiple speakers around the venue space to make it all covered
@DJ MoJoe : I just bought a pair of the evox 8, used for the first time last night at a wedding. My mic was not cutting through compared to my usual art422 2-way setup. I had to really turn up the trim on my SX3 to where it was in the red. Using SLX beta 87. They also were hitting the limit light occasionally. I’m having second thoughts, they sound great but feel I can’t get them loud enough and being that my mic/voice is not loud enough is disappointing. I had high hopes for these but feel let down. Have you come across this, how do you run yours? Looking into the evox 12 now. Thx bro
I agree...the EVOX 8s aren't loud enough for me. I use them as side fills or in very small rooms. Which is why I'm considering the EVOX 12 ...as I hope those are loud enough. I don't want to have to bring a sub when I'm using these as that defeats the purpose I think.
Co Ardolino did you try them out before buying them?
Would love to see you do a comparison of the evox 8 and the new J8. Thanks.
Great! Yes, I need to find someone in my area to make that video. Thanks!
A comparison between the J8 and Evox 8 V2 would be very interesting for me too, thumbs up!
Dan Arnholt there’s already such a video
How does compare to two QSC k12-2s and k sub. That’s been my setup for the longest time and I’m considering moving to rcf just not sure it’s worth it
Love my EVOX 8s. Sound much clearer and cleaner at loud volume compared to 2 QSC K12s. If you want more low end, just add an extra sub to it
Power strip attachment... great idea!
ah yes! It's this guy right here: geni.us/FurmanSS6
So helpful!
Hi there, can you plug a phone or ipad into the 1/4 inch jack socket on the back of both the evox 8 and 12 and play music from the phone/ipad through the speaker? Just thinking for back up purposes. Thanks
hey there! you would need the proper connection for it. a 1/8" to male XLR cable. You can only input 1 source into the back of the speaker. If you want multiple, you would need a small mixer.
The 1/4 " socket in the back of the EVOX 8/12 is an output, not an input. Hope this helps!
I actually downsized from a 15...The Evox8 fits my target audience more than enough (150-200 people)
awesome to hear! when do you use your Evox 12s then? when it's more than 200 people?
DJ MoJoe Yes
Hey man really enjoy your videos on on DJ gear. I am solo mobile DJ looking at buying a subwoofer either a dual 12inch or single 15inch. Any suggestions you can give ? It needs to be light 25-30kg and pack a serious punch.
My tops are
RCF HD12-A
QSC K12.2
RCF Art 715
I would really appreciate it if you have afew min to make a recommendations for a solid 15inch sub. That is light and has SPL 130+
Hey Check Availability, you can check the geni.us/RCF-705-as-ii or the RCF 905 AS ii. There may be better ones out there, but I like RCF brand
Thank you so much for this Vidoe . . . Helps so much with real-life users giving their opinions. How many people would you be able to serve with 2 Evox 8's in your opinion?
In an outdoor setting, I've done between 150-200. All depends on the acoustics too. In an open outdoor setting, it would've been better if you add more low-end or a subwoofer.
Honestly, thanks for the video, very helpful but sincerely, how big the crowd are you managed with that pair of Evox 8? the answer will be significant because I am near to buy Evox, I am in Spain and don't want to spend 3500 Euros when most of my gigs are maximum 500 people, also I am not a DJ, I have a live Latin Band, the bass as you probably know is mostly 4 strings so instead of deeper I will need a "percussive" or punch bass. Let me know thanks!
For the EVOX 8, for the most part 200 guests or less, and now I add an additional subwoofer sometimes with my EVOX 8. For over 200, the EVOX 12 would sound much better, and it has a 15" subwoofer so it will be deeper than the EVOX 8
500 people? No way with Evox 8’s, I think 200 is pushing them to the max, I use Art 712’ s mk4 and 905 mk2’s for a max of 250 people and they are way more powerful than an evox 8 pair, and I wouldn’t consider my set enough for 500 people.
@@djmojoeofficial Purchased only one Evox 8 (was what I could afford) I love the bass and the sound, yesterday for first time I put it on my apartment's terrace and covered more than a block!
@@ObanHighlander Depend what you are doing sound and how... I am not a DJ, so I don't need that deep bass DJ's use, usually our bass player uses a 4 strings or 5 strings instruments which does not produce notes so low, concentrating as a Latin band with more of mid ranges and vocals the bass is at the end a link between percussion and harmony, and where I love and work now in Spain, there are regulations that don't allow even in a public space outside to get more than 90dB by law.
@@thelatinensemble4670 agree with you about the bass, the beauty of the system is it's portability and simplicity of set up, I don't personally have an Evox set, I have a similar set from db Technologies , they are great little sets, I use it for buisness meetings, work party's, kid's party's and other small events, I still feel though 200 people is a lot of people for such a small set, maybe a good idea to see if it's possible to hire a set out first and see how it goes before investing in a set, the Evox is qaulity gear and though not super expensive, it would be a shame to invest in a set and find out it's not giving you what you looked for, the Evox 12 would definetly be a better choice, but they are considerably more expensive, try before you buy is I think the best advice.
As a DJ, how many people would the Evox8 cover indoors as per your expertise
Hard to say, it really depends on the acoustics of the room and what will sound great. The EVOX 8s are great for a dance floor 100-200 in my opinion, and can't go wrong if you add more low end with an extra subwoofer. But if you're in a big room, weirdly shape room, or echoed room you would definitely need more speakers so that way it all sounds clear for your guests.
I'd like to see a comparison with typical high performance PA speakers and a sub versus any of the EVOX form factor. Lets say for comparison even the large one EVOX12, aiming for a 130db peak, the 12" Yorkville Parasouce PS12P pole mounted on a PS15S sub should be more capable outdoors at distance. The RCF and Yorkville subs should have similar capability being both 15". But the PS12P 12" woofer and a 12"x9" horn has much more surface area than the 8x 4" full range in the EVOX12. This means that the more compact PS12P should couple with more air and sound fuller at distance. I'm sure the EVOX12 sound great though but I never heard any EVOX setups in person! I use 2 x PS12P and 2 x PS15P and its the strongest sound I've ever heard for a small portable system outdoor. EVOX 12 is also twice the cost.
its not a fair comparison, you are talking about a 15" sub with 8 top elements 4" and 130 db with 1400w peak against a 12" sub with 8 tops 2", 128db so sure the evox 12 would win, i think a good comparison would be the couple of evox 12 with a couple of 735 mk4, the mk4 have 133db (i think), with a 3" driver but it lacks the low range of the evox12, and why im saying this? because i cant decide if i want to keep my pair of 735 mk4 or replace them with a couple of evox 12 :)
Hi Mike! I’m now using a new system from BassBoss, the SV9 top and the BB15 sub. Sounds so much better than the EVOX 12. So much smoother and the low end is very satisfying. I don’t know anyone around my area that has the 735 to do a comparison. Wish you the best
Yes, but the evox 12 is designed completely differently and cannot be compared at all with the j8. It certainly sounds wider, but not as much as the price suggests.
I agree, I just bought some EVOX 8 after listening to both. Couldn't justify the 3000 dollar difference, but the EVOX 12 does sound amazing
what's the difference between the Evox 8 and Evox J8? very confusing.
The EVOX 8 uses wood, the J8 doesn’t. The J8s have a white speaker option, the EVOX 8 doesn’t or just very hard to find. The J8’s shape is slightly different from the EVOX 8, the EVOX 8 is more square and less rounded than the J8. The J8 also have a Jmix8 that have a built-in mixer. The EVOX 8 doesn’t.
More speakers w/ a 15 should sound better over all.
Hello Charlie
Have you test or compare sound with dB technologies ES1203 speaker with RCF 12
Any thoughts
Thanks
do you use those mats when setting them up outside?
The mats were his. I use tarp or some kind of barrier so it won’t touch the floor. Just me
Can they do a wireless link?
On their own, they cannot. If you want to send sound wirelessly to these speakers, you would need a different setup. I use the Shure PSM900 and Shure P9RA. kit.co/djmojoe/wireless-sound-kit-2-0-2021
Mojo , did you ever get the Evox 12’s?
No, I didn't. It's still in my wishlist though!
Hi, can u compare RCF Evox12 vs DB Es1203?
There's a video coming out soon about the DB
@@djmojoeofficial did you ever do that review? I heard the DB’s have a lot of issues from the factory
@@djsin5254 issues as in? I just bought a pair and they are amazing.
I love that quad sonic set up. That's great!!!"
Yea it’s great!!
i would like to ask if better to have 4 evox8 or just 2 evox12
Hi Michael, depends on the room size. 2 Evox 12s would be amazing for the dance floor. But depending on the size of the room and if there are any dead spots in the room where guests are sitting, it's good to have some sound reinforcement so they can hear the speeches and music. Similar to a club where everywhere you go, you can hear the music. And with speaker reinforcement, you have more control of the sound at specific areas of the room.
What do you think? What would be the best pair of extended low subwoofer on that evox 12 or evox 8? Do you think rcf or db technologies active subwoofer will fitted to them?
RCF SUB 8003 or the 905 I think would be great
@@djmojoeofficial oh thank you. I guess i just buy rcf 8003 as.
Not really a competition....more of a comparison.....EVOX 12 moves more air...therefore more low frequency extension.....much fuller bass response
Ah yes, it's def more of a comparison
Do the poles go up any higher?
I'm not too exactly sure, I think that's the max height. Beauty of it is that it just uses regular speaker poles with a thread at the bottom. Not sure of what the exact measurements, but nothing too out of the ordinary
@@djmojoeofficial thankyou
I just made my comment on DJ Rick's channel. I have the Evox12 and it's impressive.
Great! Glad to hear that!!
Talking about the number of speakers. Are you saying you have 4 pairs or just two pairs for 1000 people
Two pairs of RCF EVOX 12 (so total of 4 speakers) which can cover 1000 people. Also depends on where you place them in relation to the people.
Charlie owns 4 EVOX 12s, I only own 2 EVOX 8s.
@@djmojoeofficial thanks
Can you do one with the RCF 12 and the Bose F1 812 top and bottoms thanks
Not too many lines to give you an idea, as DJ MoJoe I had a couple of QSC k12, with a pair of subs Mackie. Sold them all and purchased 2 sets of Bose F12 with the subs. That was the worst decision I ever made!. Same venues, so the constant were the places, did the first gig that regularly is a Havana Night on Thursdays in an outdoor hotel, Bose don't have the same power to reach the 200 average people, a few day after the not so good first gig I was booked with a 7 guys band to play for the Mayor of Miami Beach for a 300 people in a ballroom, that was worse! when the place was with that crowd one of the speakers just shut down because the inevitable clipping (when one K12 was in comfort zone at that level). I have decided to sell everything, even 4 Bose S1Pro that were used as floor monitors.
The good thing was my daughter was an employee for a Bose Store, so I have paid 50% less for everything, at the time of getting the money I got much more than I spent and of course less that the brand new value, but enough to buy again a pair of K12.2 with subs. As DJMoJoe I am deciding but definitively get the Evox.. the problem is what I want and what I can afford... Already sold the QSC's and the subs, and managing which ones I will get.
awesome review
Thank you!
Can the evox 8 run the evox12 top
Good question, I haven't done that before. I guess in theory it can because it uses the same connections
Nice vídeo !!
Thanks!!
12 no doubt
large outdoor party we use 8 18“ an 4 15“ tops
Really really good.. I like so much this comparison because we could hear the quality sound of both, side by side. I think that.. with more economic effort, the Evox 12 is better investment. With a bit more money, you can be ready to attendant an event above 300 person quietly... Thanks a lot for this video.
You’re very welcome!!
Please RCF 12 vs jbl prx one
How much
depends on where you get them.. range from $1799 to $2499 each I believe
My crowds average 80 - 200 people. Although I'd like to have these speakers, I'll stick with spreading out my 4 QSC speakers (2 k-12's and 2 k-8's), these are just too expensive for me.
Overall they are good only in indoor set up
I understand the source is the same but a phone ....really!! Headphone output does not have the dynamic range of a simple line out even from a cheep cd player. You would need to boost the input as line is 150mv but don't use a phone
Thanks, maybe at the next speaker test. We did what was easier at the moment.
would 2 Evox-8's sound better than 1 Evox-12 ???....... Hence the $1300/$3000 price difference ??
2 Evox 8s would have more sound coverage than 1 EVOX 12 because you'll have 2 sound point sources if you spread the EVOX 8s. You only get one sound point source if you just use 1 EVOX 12. Personally, I like it when I hear music left and right, then just one area
Evox 12
ruclips.net/video/USveu11HWh0/видео.html We call the system Quad Sonic by placing 4 systems in a square 200 ft away from eachother ? if you do that my friend, you get just one small sweetspot in the middle and everywhere else in that square you'll hear a bounce back. The Evox series have no build in delay filter, but even if so, you'll have to put them in a different position if you want to cover a square of 200ft.
I need a new amp
For my evox 12
Did you get it fixed?
MoJoe
I’ll buy the 8” s if you are buying the 12’s
Decided to keep my 8s. The 12s are nice but I don’t really “need” them lol. Love my 8s still
evox 12 is a long throw machine you can feel its power if you are in a big venue
Definitely! It sounds better and better the more you’re away from it
you are right i have 1 pair of this and we set it upin a venue its open venue the lot is a size of 4baketball court with 400 people on it even you are 150 meters away you can feel the bass and the vocals and instrument is. loud and clear on that distance i must say its a good product super quality and one thing more feed backs is easily manegeable and also its handy i can fit all of my gears in my suv together with this. only one thing i didnt like in this model is the bag is so expensive hehehe.
130 db for an out door gig is not loud enough
1000 PEOPLE ....STOP THE CAP
1000 people for background music not people 1000 dancing or live music
1000 people my hoop LOL
What's with your shirt...the cymbal you know what that is don't you.
more speakler more sound as you say so if yo have a tiny crap cabinet your gona have shit sound its just physics
the guy in the white shirt is really unsympathic.
I think you guys are on meth ..... You aren't moving any air with that mince setup. This style of speaker is terrible to use especially outdoors! They are great for small 50-people gigs and if you can't lift your arm above your head that's about it
Those are not Dj speakers
How so?
If you are trying to compare Evox 8 to Evox 12 then you are a clown not a DJ lol
I guess I'm a clown then
You both have no clue what you are talking about.
