EV Everse 8 Killer? - Alto Busker Battery-Powered Speaker - Product Alert
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- The Everse 8 is a great speaker with one huge issue that makes it a deal breaker for me. This Alto Professional Speaker (@AltoProfessional ) not only half the price but more functional in my opinion. This is exciting functionality to see from a battery-powered speaker at an awesome price.

The magic of mixing on the EV resides in THE APP, insanely intuitive and powerful.
But these certainly look cool, i wonder if the LINK feature sends the MIX OUT, and not just the Bluetooth.
That's awesome! I have the app for the evolve 50 and only used it for the first time last weekend haha
My everse is amazing. Plenty loud for ceremony and cocktails. And a great sounding graph eq on the mains and eq on each channel. I have zero problems eqing even the hardest of locations with my lav
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Do play and sing? I saw a video where a performer complained about not feeling like the blend between an instrument and voice sounded as nice as the Bose Pro 1 but he also didn't really mention using the app to dial that in or not in his comparison video. Its seemed kind of like a quick one off comparison. He basically said that the EV8 was just louder but in his opinion not necessarily better tonaly for multiple sounds.
@@gerimayawhyte154 la app es maravillosa aunque incluso puedes configurarlo sin la app, cada canal también tiene filtros y Presets para que suene lo más limpio posible si quieres meter una guitarra puedes elegir el preset de guitarra ya sea acústica o eléctrica, e incluso poner efecto, tienes compresión, AFS entre muchas otras cosas yo lo tengo me dedico a tocar y a cantar y créeme que parece que llevas un estudio portátil
How many people do you do ceremonies with with your Everse 8. I have the feeling about 75 ppl is the maximum for using my Sennheiser EWD microphne withoud feedback issues.
@@nielsb1303what does number of people have to do with feedback
this is a great and helpful video, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Just the info I was looking for. Thanks
Glad I could help
I'm yet to find one review that touches on the sound effects on the Alto. I'd like to hear how good the quality of the sound unit is, as a singer and a guitarist looking to busk, I'd say this is something that would be fairly up on the must list for fellow buskers
Digital sound effects are pretty decent and I'm sure work well on this. Sorry no demo of them here! :( I was hoping this video might inspire them to send one to me, but no luck
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Thk u i love your vidéos !
Thanks for watching!
I have one it's good sound nice and clean but having an issue with the combination jacks making loud pop noise when plugging in, or unplugging xlrs or jack plugs and this is when I have the volume on the chanel and master turned down, it still makes a loud pop noise from the speaker?
Definitely going to opt for everse 8 or 12 in future.
Just discovered this amp. I'm a solo acoustic guitar/singer. I currently use an Alto Troopers, but I don't think they make them anymore, and it isn't battery operated. (and no effects) For the price, this thing looks awesome. No quality/failure issues with my troopers. If I'm in the market for a battery operated amp for busking, this would be it. I won't be buying it anytime soon as I kind of figure...no electricity? Then I'm not playing the gig. But still, this has me thinking. AH!...just realized, no bass/treble on each channel like my troopers. Not good.
In your use case, the EV everse 8 might be to your liking, you can control the levels with the app
I have 3 Mackie thump Go and use them for ceremony and cocktail. It’s nice to see another affordable option.
💯
Do you feel like you need 3 speakers for a ceremony?
I also have 2 Roland Ba-330s and they run on 110 but also 8 aa batteries
I had hoped that this was the first online review of the Alto speaker...sadly it wasn't...
Really want to find the first review after the price dropped to $349 in the U.S.
Nope, just a product alert. Perhaps someday I'll have a review up
@@DJDarylBennett great review and think-thru. But I'm with you. Let's see what you think when you get your hands on one! I'm thinking with the 60Hz low freq, it may not sound as good as the Everse/Bose or JBL eon oone compact (which has 37Hz low end). Still, I'll be looking for your hands-on review. Thanks!!
Hi Daryl, thanks for confirming. Based on the excellent reviews of the EV, and also the sound power level, I decided to buy one of these, because even two 106 dB SPL speakers doesn't get to 121 dB SPL and it means I can do significantly bigger gigs by public transport around London. EV8 certainly is good.
Does this have a power out to power a wireless mic?
Yes, it has a USB, with 5v to 2.1a out, opposed to 12v to 0.5a out on the everse 8.
At the time of making this video, my wireless receivers were battery operated, So I didn't cover it as much
@@DJDarylBennett ha ha. There’s a usb adapter to power a wireless mic transmitter? Do you happen to have a link? I tried to google and just got power strips with USB’s on them
I was always huge fan of Alto Speakers series Ts 300 ( Sound Quality with Countour) but, they have one big issues; too frequent failures... The new 400 series doesn't sound as good as the 300 series so I bought Alesis Drum Speakers 8 inch and 12 inch. They sound exactly like the ts 300 series from Alto, but unfortunately the failure rate is the same. Yesterday, during a jam session, this 8-inch speaker got damaged. As usual, the tweeter... The Alto 300 Series speakers are the best sounding speakers I have, and I've tested a lot of them. It's a pity that the new TS 400 series does not have the same sound as the TS 300 series. And this failure rate; you never know when it will get damaged during operation. Of course, this speaker looks good and maybe I will check its quality.
I think speakers being pushed like during a dance party are going to experience more failures than a speaker being used in a low volume scenario. And I see this being used more for background music and ceremonies.
That's weird. I can control the volume on each of my channels using the app!
I don't want to be reliant on an app. Apps require an extra device as part of the workflow, apps disconnect from the speaker, and that could be a problem in a critical moment
No Killing with No sound clips. It can have everything feature wise but great tone...Whether it kills, or not, is really up to a discriminating ear. From experience, I doubt Alto makes a product that matches EV tonally. I'd be curious to hear one...
As far as sound quality, volume, and features, the EV is probably the best. But the alto might be a better bang for your buck in the use case a ceremony speaker for wedding DJs
It checks all the boxes. I want to hear is in a noisy venue.
I think it would be okay for setting the ambiance for like dinner or cocktail hour.
Привет коллеги и друзья зрители ! Вчера снял видео ролик на 8 минут. Electro-Voice EV Everse 8 & Metallica "Enter Sandman" Live 2023 звуковая тест демонстрация на стадионе. Максимальная громкость и каково звуковое покрытие на слух со всех сторон, как слышно из далека. Более подробно изложил в описании. Приятного просмотра ) ruclips.net/video/gmi9l7qhns4/видео.htmlsi=2NaLq_5V0-pn5n5O
Important to note: Alto doesn't have a user removable battery :( Mackie Thump Go 115dB and removable battery for $50 more is the best bargain in my opinion.
Definitely something to consider! This has almost never been a concern in my use case of having a speaker for a wedding ceremony. The very rare scenario where I use it the entire gig like as a satellite speaker, I just plug my speakers (the jbl eon one pro mk1) in for reassurance.
The thump is cool, but doesn't have enough inputs for my workflow.
How is the bass and does it distort at higher volumes? Will it sound good at the beach you think?? Thank you!
Honestly I'd love to get my hands on it and try it out. As a ceremony speaker I think it'd do great. As a beach as background music, I think it'd also do great. I've used much smaller waterproof Bluetooth speakers at the beach and was satisfied and this will be better than those
Thank you for your response and for your take on my question. I appreciate it!
I've used altos powered 12's for over 5 years now. still pumping. i thought i'd get away with 2 years maybe. But they won't die. paid for themselves 10X over.
Nice!
Cheap price = cheap parts Only way manufacturer can make a profit.
I think the EV beats it in specs for sure, but for many wedding ceremonies, idk if all those additional specs matter too much
Everse 8 killer? Hardly. Specs shows 108db? Also you can use the app to control the Everse 8 for your fading challenges
The EV is definitely more feature rich and louder, but for a lot of instances, it may be overkill. Personally I'm not a fan of using the app. It's relying on bluetooth for a mission critical event
@@DJDarylBennett I can see your concern, but I've been gigging EV EVOLVE30M 50M AND EVERSE 8 for over 2 years for about 400 shows without one single problem.
The Alto is no Bose and EV killer. Even if you're doing a ceremony you still need that SPL. Just as someone mentioned you can control both if you're using the app as well. I rarely touch the speaker I do everything utilizing the app. 108 SPL doesn't cut it for the recessional at a ceremony. The guests are loud/cheering for the newlyweds. They will easily drown out that Alto speaker.
Thanks for your comment! I definitely think there's room in the market for all the speakers, and the EV does have enticing features that the alto does not. But the alto does have the core functionality and is more cost efficient. That's definitely something to think about the cheering crowd!
I personally hate apps for speaker control at a wedding ceremony... Another piece of gear to bring, another point of failure (connection, reconnection during critical time, device not charged).
@@DJDarylBennett I use the app on my phone so it’s not extra device, because I would have my phone on me with or without the speaker. I use my iPad using DJ for ceremony music. I do all my fading with the upfaders on the iPad (hardwired) I don’t trust Bluetooth for a ceremony . I don’t have the problem you have. I don’t turn my mic on until the bridal party is lined up. Once everyone is lined up I turn the mic on and unmute it. It’s hot when the officiant walks up to the mic.
@@DeeJay_IMB
To me, a phone is another device, and it is prone to cracked screen during setup, Bluetooth not working, forgetting it in the car, etc... And I like to use my phone to capture footage, looking at the timeline. I've noticed that the speakers (at least my evolve 50s) sometimes needs to reconnect when I switch apps.
I don't know what you are talking about. Ceremonies are quiet! The only cheering happens during the kiss at the end of a ceremony and as the couple is starting to walk out. Your playing music, and they can still hear it during those 5 tto 8 seconds of cheering. I used the original battery powered speaker years ago. It was the American Audio 8 Go BT by itself for ceremonies, and even though the sound quality on that speaker sucked, I had zero problems with it. It had plenty of throw and it was 120 watt and 102 DB. I use a Bose S1 Pro, and have used a DB monitor blasting it, and have never got it to register higher than 103 DB. These DB ratings of 115, 121, 128, 131 etc are all fictitious, and only come in under perfect conditions for a micro second burst. Most DJ speakers are not going to register higher than maybe 111-112 DB on a monitor in a real life situation blasting them at maximum power output.
@@djrickyb here we go. My comment is my opinion. I’d rather have a speaker with more output. That’s what I look for, for my sound reinforcement.
Nope. Not gonna kill those 2 giants, buy great for budget busker or portable karaoke.
Yeah, there's definitely room in the market for all of them! But I think that in scenarios where loud volume isn't super important, this is a great value buy
Mackie go
Only has 2 channels, I like at minimum 3, preferably 4
Everse can just use the app to solve that deal breaker. I wouldnt trust anything alto after trying alto speakers.
I am skeptical having to have another piece of hardware to control the speaker (I use my phone for timeline and gig footage and don't want to switch between apps in case it gets disconnected), but maybe it'd be worth it!
I have used Alto products since 2013. The only issue I ever had was with the TS212 series. Tweeters blew and I replaced them. $34 tweeters. Alto used real cheap parts on the TS2 series speakers. The heat syncs were of poor design on that series too. They fixed the issue on the 3 series. No problem since 2018 with my TS312s. I still have a pair of TS110A speakers from 2013. Still work great! I use Bose S1 Pros for ceremonies, and love that speaker!
The Alto is 106 Db, the EV is 121 dB. 15dB difference is HUMONGOUS. This means you would need 16 Alto speakers to make the same volume as the EV. SIXTEEN. This is science. Every time you double the # of speakers it gives you a 3dB gain.
This is a poor commentary by someone that knows nothing about professional audio.
I stand by what I say, dB isn’t the only thing to think about. For mobile DJ applications, convenience and control is way more important than volume for certain situations, and the EV is lacking in individuals channel control
for me , Alto is better for working and more simple
I personally like simplicity
