Electro-Voice EVERSE8-US Battery Powered Loudspeaker Instruction Manual

Electro-Voice EVERSE8-US Battery Powered Loudspeaker

Description

Thank you for choosing an Electro-Voice powered loudspeaker system. Please take time to consult the manual to understand all the features built into your Electro-Voice system and fully utilize its performance capabilities.
EVERSE is a versatile, easy to use, compact, battery-powered loudspeaker system. It provides professional level performance and is housed in a robust weatherized enclosure. EVERSE loudspeakers provide real professional performance for musical performances, voice reinforcement and audio playback. EVERSE loudspeakers take advantage of decades of Electro-Voice and Dyna cord pro-audio and electronics expertise, along with new advancements in technology, to provide truly portable and truly wireless audio.
The EVERSE 8 utilizes a 2-way configuration with an 8-inch woofer. It includes a hi-output, titanium, ferro-fluid cooled tweeter, featuring a high-energy neodymium magnet for maximum output and reduced weight. The tweeter is mounted to an Electro-Voice patented SST constant directivity waveguide design, producing exceptionally high SPL with even 100° x 100° coverage and improved acoustic alignment and bass extension.
The EVERSE 12 utilizes a 2-way configuration with a 12-inch woofer and a high efficiency titanium compression driver mounted on an Electro-Voice’s patented SST baffle. It produces 5 dB higher SPL and deeper bass than the EVERSE 8 with 100° x 60° coverage.
The rugged polypropylene enclosure features a weatherized input cover for the input section, allowing the loudspeaker to meet IP43 rating (splash and light rain resistant) for use on battery power and Bluetooth® streaming. The available accessory slipcover allows for additional weather resistance and protection when needed.
EVERSE loudspeakers feature Electro-Voice’s Quick Smart DSP and are POWERED BY DYNACORD, featuring a built-in 4-channel digital mixer with FX, feedback suppression, and ducking features. The loudspeakers feature a custom designed, and fully optimized for audio use, high capacity battery pack. The battery pack provides more than enough power to complete the show, including a 12 V DC accessory port to power RE3 or R300 wireless microphone systems.
The EVERSE 8 is available in both white and black. The EVERSE 12 is available only in black.

• Easy to use with Quick Smart Mobile app and Electro-Voice’s Intuitive User Interface
  EVERSE loudspeakers feature Electro-Voice’s intuitive Quick Smart DSP with single encoder and push key interface for simple and quick setup. EVERSE loudspeakers can be paired via Bluetooth® to a mobile device with the Quick Smart Mobile app installed to provide easy remote control of all audio functions. The Quick Smart Mobile app allows pairing and grouping of up to six loudspeakers, in any combination, including EVERSE , ELX200 powered family, and the EVOLVE family.

• Auto-Standby
  EVERSE loudspeakers offer an automatic standby function after 15 minutes without signal. This extends the battery runtime in case the loudspeaker is not being used. The loudspeaker can be re-activated to full operation by pressing a button on the panel or with the app.

• Robust and attractive industrial design
  Both models include an easy-to-carry handle with soft-touch rubber, and the EVERSE 12 adds a side handle for more portability.

Both EVERSE 8 and EVERSE 12 are water resistant to IP43 with the included weatherized input cover.
