I used my pair of Evolve 30Ms for a folk trio gig with 200 people and they sounded great. The wide sound dispersion was a real bonus and we didn't need any stage monitors. We had barely any feedback issues. I was initially a bit confused as to why the second speaker had no volume but then everything was sorted after I realised that the master volume of the second unit was inadvertently turned down by yours truly!

Жыл бұрын

The L1 Pro 16 is more comparable to Jmix 8, Evolve 50M, Evolve 50 and PRX1. It's considerably more expensive than an Evolve 30M in Australia and is the next step up from what is already an awesome sounding, compact and lightweight system in the 30M.

Something I forgot to add in my previous comment that you may not have consider the eon has subwoofer output and the necessary crossovers to make it work

I got the RCF J8 when it first came out for only $900 each. I thought that was expensive but now they have gone up. The Jmix is the same but it has a mixer section. These are good for weddings and parties for up to 100 people, maybe 150. At my weddings there is often a small dance area and that's mostly what I need to cover for dancing. But for announcements and toast they cover far more than that. The 12 inch woofers are the smallest a DJ should go. In my case I also add a small subwoofer since I play hip hop and bass heavy dance music. It's not required but it helps a lot. You can also just use one pole (it comes with two poles that connect) and shorten the height of the setup. This might come in handy if you are playing high up on a stage and don't need a lot of height. The ability to adjust height was the sealed the deal for me over the EV 50M. Also as was pointed out none of these systems are for big 300 person crowds although I would love to see what 4 of these could do in a room. I kept my JBL tops and two subs so I could bring all of this to a larger event if needed.

Nope, it looks pretty much like when I bought it. I got Tuki covers for them. And when I move them, I use a cart

From a musicians standpoint and being very picky about sound quality, I bought the Jmix8, and what fantastic sounding system. Using a UA interface with high quality backing tracks, my vocals, etc., I've filled large outdoor events with plenty of volume. Bass, mids, and high end are all well balanced, couldn't be happier. Agree, a little lighter would be nice, but with this quality, I accept it. A trick to make the Jmix8 lighter to move; take out the array speaker column from the back of the sub cabinet, it's 6 lbs lighter. :)

I think you can just ignore the mixer on all of them and consider just sound quality - thats what matters the most for your CLIENT. Mixer can be bought separately, for example Yamaha MG series which is great and has different models with different number of channels and effects etc. Those built-in mixer are fine but in my opinion, they also suck because they are cheap and adding some extra layer between the speaker and the source. I always connect my DJ console directly to the speaker or put my Yamaha MG10XU in between for more mics. And with JMIX8, the sound level can go wayyyyy more higher if the mixer is turned off, idk why is that. Those built-in mixers are ok for wedding ceremonies but for the dancefloor, I would never use them.

I want my shit!

RCF was warmer and fatter in the midbass and the JBL more studio monitor clear. the RCF's rubbery round midbass was way more exciting with the EV sounding almost as neutral as the JBL.

Compared to JBL EON MK2 how much Volumen and bass have the RCF Evox J8? Will work for amp. a couple guitars, 2 vocals, 1 cajon and 1 saxophone?

@AaronStrawn

J8 is louder and more Bass. For what you want, I'd go with the J8 over the JBL

The RCF compares better with the JBL PRX One. Same price, same size, same power. And I’d pick the PRX all day any day over the RCF (I did).

I looked at those when I was at GC. They came off to me as a little clunky, but I didn't get a chance to hear them. I know they've been solid for people

@@AaronStrawn I don’t know about clunky. The sound processor is definitely far too advanced for me. I wish they had a “lite” version of the app with simple presets rather than pages and pages of settings. But once you set it just right, they sound absolutely amazing. Better than the Pro16 (I didn’t try the pro32). To my ears anyways. I love them. The best “all round” speakers I have ever used. For larger gigs I also have Bose F1 812’s and a pair of the new Sub2’s. The Sub2’s are a fantastic addition to the PRX if you need extra deep bases, you can use the built-in HPF to only send >150hz to the PRX and that gives you an extra ~3db of clean mid/highs headroom on the PRX! Anyways I’m sure you knew all this already lol. Great channel by the way. Your videos are top notch and very polished. But you should stop using a wide angle for your studio vlogs. Unless you like that cartoonish look (big nose-little ears). Use a 50mm lens like Spinelli or even better a 85mm like the real pros. Your videos will look much more “pro” (I’m a pro headshot photographer).

Eon MKll anytime! Better DSP features. The end!

It's so hard to get a good sound reading from a mic on a camera that's processed through KZreads compression. Just wanted to give a little taste without getting a copyright strike

It's normal that JMIX has more bass than the others, it has a 12 "subwoofer against 10" for the other two. Compare Jmix with JBL PRX One or Evolve 50 it will be a fairer fight 👍

Just my Opinion, if you are going to spend this kind of money on these Column style speaker get two great speakers that stick on a couple stands, they are much punchier, they throw sound much further, they don't sound tinny, and they blow these columns out of the water.

I think the biggest appeal of the column to the Mobile musician or DJ is portability. They may not sound as good as a big 15" top, but the ease of set-up makes up for that (imo).

The Portable Line Arrays are build for Portable and quick use, What's the point of having a Portable Line array if they are bulky and heavy just like an ordinary PA system? I'd rather bring a OG PA system than a Portable Line Array that is heavy and will stress my arms if I carry them on my gig? JBL Line array is build that way not for comparison of loudness.. It's Portable right? if Portable then you are expecting 100 to150 pax not 200 and above.. That's so nonsense to me. Those Line array except for the JBL Mk2 are just rubbish to me even they are louder I will not bring them to my Gig because you can't make them portable like putting their line arrays inside the sub to carry them in one hand and its like having a extra stand to carry and that's annoying.. Sound Quality JBL for me, I never heard anything as clean and quality, Yes the two other brand line arrays are louder just because they are not portable and they are basically large PA.
