Best explanation of array and 2 way box. Having owned and own both styles to this day (5 Gos) and got my Everse8 yesterday. You always have a great perspective and information.

Good explaination of column array vs point. Column arrays are made for wedding guys. I stopped doing them so i use point for car shows. Outdoor stuff. Thanks for explaining the difference for those who don't know why wedding guys have switched over. Your example about Jay's gig at the pool party was spot on. Unless you're in the pool, you won't have the hot spot of sound. You'd think Mr. Pioneer would have known that by now, LOL

Great video Brian, thank you for your honesty.

Great Video and definitely got to pick one up. We do party’s at our local VA Hospital and can’t really get loud with the sound so this would work perfect for us here at DJ Mikie Mike. Thank you for sharing this video and we always like and share your videos because of your opinions and knowledge of the DJ World!!

This is EXCELLENT Information!!!!! I've got the Bose S1 Pro Plus. I was thinking about taking it back and getting the Everse 8 BUT now I'm thinking I'll got ahead and hold on to it. I need to actually take it out and use it in the field. For busking I'm not DJ'ing and trying to be as "loud" as possible. Also people tend to get up close when you busk but you still want to be "heard" at a distance. Not blow people away at a distance. We'll see how it goes. I'll be playing electric guitar with backing tracks.

Thx BSR , the mic power is key for ceremonies

Great video. I'm in the market for small battery powered speaker and tossup with the E8 and S1. You've convinced me on the E8. Thanks

Another great video, thanks! Awesome about the system input delay, didn't know it existed. Took a minute to find it in the Quicksmart demo...you have to put the speaker in 'basic mode', then you can adjust the delay up to 100m. Amazing.

Great comparison. I have 2 s1pros and 2 mackie thump go's and I am probably going to get a couple Of these EVs. I can see where all the speakers beside each other the Bose is the least Db. But couple that Bose with the sub1 or sub2 and put it in the s1pro crossover mode and that little speaker comes alive. Dosen't even sound the same. I have done several events with them I was ask to turn it down or was approached later and they said that the couldn't believe how loud and clear they are. But as far as setting up a speaker stand and placing a single one that produces a fuller range of sound this EV will be the one. I really appreciate you going into detail with the products you review because now I know this new speaker is definitely worth purchasing.

Hi 👋 ! I'm thinking of getting a Sub 1 or sub 2 (selling my two behringer 12 in 500 watt subs. ) your thoughts on: crowd size and or room size for...... 1/solo singer singing to either acoustic guitar 🎸 tracks OR (not and) singing with/to acoustic piano& Bass tracks.... music is acoustic reduction of soft Bocelli/ Groban/Buble/ diamond ballads. So not pounding nor real loud . I'm concerned about choosing the much easier to handle Sub2 and just wishing I had invested a bit more to never NOT have enough low end.... I'm hoping you can share some thoughts ... right now I'm unsure about investing in 2 Everse ! ( I have to get two- mono piano 🎹 tracks sound horrible!) Finally, I continue to worry somewhat about supply chain getting worse not better. Finally again:) .... another thought is: Bose, QSC, even RCF could be introducing some nice competitive products soon ! 🤔

@Forget 6 I have 2 Sub1s and 1sub2 and I find myself using 1 or 2 Sub1s over the Sub2. I really like the bass that comes from those Sub1s and they are lighter in weight.

Can't stop looking at the back wall with all those vinyls :)

I have the bose S1's It's a great small portable battery powered speaker. I use it for gigs as a personal monitor wedge, or a pair with a sub1 and they sound great. For the size alone, the S1 wins to me. The L1 pro32's I have are super consistent to my ears. They're about the same level at 40 feet as they are at 10 feet, so no real hot spot as I can tell. There's a lot of hate out there for Bose, but once I started using it for my live music, I didn't want to go back (I also have a pair of the 8/12 F1's.). I don't know pro audio vs. consumer audio. I just know this bose stuff sounds really good to my ears.

I'm thinking that the stereo "hearing aspect" is the stereo effects.... your thoughts....? I 🎵 sing solo to just an acoustic piano and bass track (separate tracks) ... piano reproduction horrible in mono ! Stereo much much nicer so, I'm forced to sacrifice the "comb filtering " issue but I can't really pick it up when I listen. What do you think?

I've got two S1 and they are a fantastic Tailgate/party speaker, great for days out on boats etc. They also work great paired with my mini Behringer Eurolive B1200D, but this still doesnt have enough output for a proper DJ setup, unless in a relatively small indoor space or not fussed for overall output. I've used them as DJ monitors before, but they've struggled to be loud enough sat behind a decent pro rig (typical big name pro audio 2 tops & 2 subs). The S1 shares very little with other Bose Pro speakers, and honestly I think should maybe be in the consumer range. The Everse look far closer to the rest of the EV pro family, looking like a smaller ZLX15 which I also own. I think the EV would be my undoubted choice this time, now that it is available, although super keen to hear the new Yorkville battery unit.

How does the vertical throw of the Everse at 100 change things vs the 45 of the Bose?

Two days ago I traded in an S1Pro at Sam Ash and purchased the Everse8. Spent a few hours yesterday and this morning studying the settings. I just sing karaoke, mostly at home and on occasion with friends. Here's what I think: the biggest problem with the S1Pro, is the awfully WEAK MIC PREAMPS. I just could not use it without a mixer; I plug in a dynamic microphone directly into one of the mic inputs, and I get barely enough sound to even fill one room. Otherwise I kind of liked the sound quality and fidelity. With a mixer, I got great volume for a gathering of say 20 people. Now, with the Everse8. Volume is no issue at all; great microphone volume. But uhhh, the FIDELITY OF THE SOUND, the background tracks for karaoke, is just pretty BAD. Pianos don't sound like pianos. Forget about orchestral music: pretty MUDDY. Though, guitar sounds are pretty good. The vocals that come across are very good. So I'd say that for singing with guitar accompaniment, this speaker ought to be grand. The Everse8 is a busker's dream piece of equipment!!! What other speakers have I tried? We have a large kitchen/breakfast area, and there I have an EON ONE with a Mackie ProDX6v3 mixer. The fidelity of that speaker is really good. Interestingly, even on the Eon One, the volume output plugging in a mic into one of the inputs, is pretty poor just like the S1Pro! So in that regard, the Everse8 is a huge step ahead. But bottom line, I cannot live with this Everse8 for what I do, which is karaoke. It is going back, sorry. I feel burned and plan to just use my Eon One and forget about a second PA speaker for now. EDIT, EDIT!!! MY BAD! I was planning to take the Everse8 back to Sam Ash tomorrow, but I thought, hey, there is no way such a company like EV can make shoddy products! So first thing I did, is that the background music, I connected by a 3.5 mm cable from my phone to the 3.5 mm input (3/4) of the speaker. BIG improvement in the sound! Looks like the Bluetooth Audio needs some work! Also, I worked on the EQ settings. I use the GEQ and not the PEQ, which is a complex Parametric setting which I don't want to drown into right now! :) Anyhow, bottom line is that the Everse8 does ALL that I want it to do that the Bose S1Pro could not. So it is a keeper; I am so relieved. I was so nervous about returning it and trying out the JBL Eon Compact. Thank goodness I won't have to.

Also said Bluetooth 5.0 vs 3.0 is more range. Comparing apples to oranges. Great video as always Practice & enjoy

2 everse 8s VS 1 30M PLEASE! I'm torn!

The JBL Compact One retails for $629, $120 less than the Everse, so when you purchase 2 thats like $240 more. 112db is less than the EVs rating. But IMO, its not about a db shootout, its about weight, sound and price when dealing with battery powered stuff. So no regrets with my Compact Ones except the ON/OFF switch sucks. But buy what your business requires, I don't think spending $750 for one battery speaker is in my budget and the extra db's won't make much of a difference for me. However that's not my main point. My opinion is "where is it all going to end?" Are we going to try to buy the best of everything when it comes out? Are the next hydrogen-powered up lights going to be the next thing? Or controllers that work off what yor mind tells it to play? Is this the industry where we keep upgrading, keep charging more because we upgraded and not concentrate on the music or the event...but concentrate on what the latest new thing is and that we need it and where are we going to get the money for it? Its getting ridiculous.

Yeah. Ev wins and I have the bose s1 pros

Quick dose of reality guys. It's a point source speaker with a battery attached. It comes with a limited stereo mixer but cant transfer the mix to a stereo pair with its "true wireless" connectivity, only the Bluetooth stream? Wow WTF? A k8.2 with a velcro battery packs would have twice the power and better sound. So the only reason for the $750 price tag is to compete with the Bose S1 .. which uses the Bose proprietary sound dispersion design you either love or hate. Say what you will but that tech has always come with a premium. So EV comes along. .takes a typical point source speaker.. tosses a battery in it with a little more oomph in power over the Bose but certainly doesn't compete with just about any other point source speaker with a battery pack. So let this sink in.. this should be a $399 small battery operated point source speaker but since they marketed it against the "overpriced" Bose. They are charging $750 and most are falling for it. I am a fan of the EV 30m and 50m series, but even they don't even come close to column systems like the LD curve for sound, clarity, dispersion, etc. and the LD products are cheaper pound for pound.. although limited in support. Think about it? Also, how come a Harbinger MXL900 for $500 bucks can seamlessly transfer the integrated mixer stereo channels wirelessly without cables but EV's "True wireless" doesnt work with the mixer.. So much for the wireless stereo PA idea for any performers out there? HUGE FAIL.. its is seriously the stupidest thing i have seen in awhile as far as design flaws lol. Good luck. Yeah it sounds good for streaming in stereo but this ain't a $750 speaker period.. and at that price point.. covers are sold separately.. Really?

If it's got no highs and it's got no lows... it must be Bose.

I bought a Bose S1. It took me five minutes to figure out It was in no way powerful enough to be a ceremony speaker. It's consumer audio and anybody out there pitching it compared to the other battery Powered options is doing everyone a disservice

Bose All the way for a micro system it’s small and they sell a very nice comfortable bag pack thats perfect for mobile gigs no way would I use a Bose s1 pro by itself for any professional event lasting longer than 1 hr it’s dosent sound great solo i always take two bose s1 pro and one sub 2 to most of my gigs it’s been working perfectly especially since the sub has a built in crossover design for the s1pro Now if qsc came out with a battery version comparable to bose then I’ll consider switching over I would never take a micro system to a gig that requires more than a micro system that’s dumb asf
