Good things take time — including speakers! That’s why Electro-Voice put years of thoughtful research into the Everse 8, their first-ever battery-powered PA. The Everse 8 offers a host of travel-friendly features, including 12-hour battery life, Bluetooth streaming, QuickSmart Mobile control, and more. All this is paired with top-tier components like a Dynacord high-efficiency Class-D amplifier and a DSP module, as well as an 8-inch woofer and a high-output titanium tweeter. The Everse 8 maximizes its great components with a suite of powerful mixing tools onboard; there’s a 4-channel digital mixer, studio-quality effects and processing, feedback suppression, and 48-volt phantom power for microphones. All that and more is housed in a rugged but elegant polypropylene shell that’s weatherized for water resistance to splashes and rain. This speaker is an amazing pick for musicians, DJs, event hosts, buskers, and more! You get a little bit of everything, all with exceptional sound quality, when you choose the Everse 8 from Music Experience!
The Everse 8 excels at practically every possible application we’ve thrown at it. The speaker itself can be setup multiple different ways. Mount it on a tripod for the ultimate long throw at sporting events or outdoor gatherings; turn it into a stage wedge monitor using the 55° angle; or turn it upright with a 30° kick-back angle that projects upward and out. And with up to 12 hours of battery life per charge, the Everse 8 is ready for events that last all day or all night.
What’s more, the Everse 8 pairs extremely well with wireless and wired microphone systems. The speaker features 48-volt phantom power output and a 12-volt DC port for powering wireless mic systems straight from the Everse 8 battery. Additionally, the Everse 8 accessory tray (sold separately) easily mounts to the top of the speaker for neatly organizing receivers and other wireless gear.
The Everse 8 offers straightforward Bluetooth streaming with additional control options via the QuickSmart Mobile app. The QuickSmart Mobile app gives users simplified, streamlined control of audio, effects, and mix functions via a mobile smart device. Essentially, you can control all of the speaker’s audio features from afar — a must-have feature for busy hosts and dedicated sound technicians alike! If you find yourself wanting even more power than what comes stock, Everse 8 speakers can also be used in true stereo via Bluetooth.
Each component on the Everse 8 adheres to rigorous Electro-Verse standards of quality and performance. It’s the same exceptional look, feel, and sound we expect from EV microphones and speakers, but streamlined for portable and outdoor use. Regarding hardware, the Everse 8’s 8-inch woofer features patented Electro-Voice SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers) port design that yields big sound even from a compact speaker enclosure. Paired with that is a deluxe titanium tweeter mounted onto a custom constant-directivity waveguide for high, consistent output. What’s more, the Everse 8 borrows several coveted components from EV sister brand Dynacord, including a Class-D amplifier and a top-notch DSP sound module. Inside and out, this is one speaker that settles for nothing but the best.
The first battery-powered loudspeaker from Electro-Voice and the first weatherized model of its type, EVERSE 8 takes advantage of decades of Electro-Voice engineering expertise – along with the latest advancements in technology – to provide a truly portable and truly wireless audio experience at a price and performance level unmatched by current comparable products on the market. Whether used for live music, vocal reinforcement and/or audio playback, musicians, DJs, production/rental companies, fitness/activity instructors and other professional, amateur and recreational users can all benefit from EVERSE 8’s superior sound quality, user-friendliness and all-in-one PA system design – a concept that opens-up real pro-audio performance for a wider range of users than ever before. EVERSE 8 comes in a black or white finish, adding an aesthetic angle to its versatility.
With a maximum SPL rating of 121 dB and wide, even 100º x 100º coverage, EVERSE 8’s capabilities defy its compact form factor and set uncompromising new benchmarks for its product segment. Core components include an 8” woofer mounted using EV’s patented SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers) port design, and a high-output titanium tweeter mounted onto a custom constant-directivity waveguide. And, as with all Electro-Voice portable loudspeakers, EVERSE 8’s system reliability is verified with extensive music abuse and endurance testing.

EVERSE 8 is powered by a custom-designed high-capacity Li-ion battery pack, fully optimized for audio use and providing plentiful power for up to 12 hours of run time. Protection circuitry reduces the risk of the battery discharging to such a low voltage that it can no longer be recharged – for example, after long periods in storage. Tool-free screws make removing the battery pack effortless. Uncompromising sound quality, unplugged.
In combination with the rugged polypropylene enclosure, use of the included weatherized input cover allows EVERSE 8 to meet the IP43 rating (water resistant for splashes and light rain) when running on battery power and while Bluetooth® streaming. Built-in feet with no-skid rubber pads ensure the system stays put. Bring EVERSE 8 outside for busking, marching band practice, or the backyard BBQ, or wherever a PA is needed, whatever the forecast.
Every detail of EVERSE 8 is designed to maximize easy lifting and transportation – all while reinforcing EV’s reputation for real-world durability. An ergonomically designed soft-touch handle and premium lightweight construction make it a breeze to move and mount EVERSE 8. Pack it into the optional tote bag and head out to the gig. It’s the all-in-one pro-audio system you can grab to go.
The integrated 12 V DC port provides convenient power from the EVERSE 8 battery, perfect for powering a wireless microphone system such as the Electro-Voice RE3 or R300 (see user manual for details). Attach the optional accessory tray to the top of an EVERSE 8 to secure receiver hardware in place. A charging port is included for mobile devices if a top-up is needed when streaming. Place on a tripod for a longer throw, set long-side down as a stage wedge using the 55° monitor angle, or use upright with the 30° kick-back angle to project up off the performance area. For stereo setups, EVERSE 8 is equipped for Bluetooth® true wireless stereo streaming.
EVERSE 8 is driven by a high-efficiency Class-D amplifier and DSP module developed in collaboration with the world-class audio electronics engineering team at EV’s sibling brand Dynacord. Pro features include a built in four-channel digital mixer with studio-quality effects and processing, 48 V phantom power, feedback suppression and audio ducking. Between the EV and the D badges, you get the best of both worlds.
