The Evox 8 Highs seemed to have a more defined high frequency 10k and up and the bass was tighter. The J8 definitely sounded like it went lower as far as the sub.
Which of these would you most recommend for dj work. Weddings mostly. Typically 150 - 300 people however I'm most concerned about the dance floor so maybe 40 - 50 people in those regards. Also playing dance music, pop, hip hop etc... Thank you for sharing. One love.
Kelly Austin the J8 would be perfectly fine for the dance floor and would save you some money. Give us a call 2562854734 and we will get you the best deal possible.
IMO- J8 definitely has more presence. I have followed these speakers and curious about them for quite some time now. I really like the mid-low to mid-highs that they put out which makes the vocals brilliant sounding. I am currently an EV speaker fanatic. I have all of their ETX line speakers. It's time I get a pair of these...
Thank you for doing this comparison! Super helpful! I’m a wedding DJ and I typically run two QSC 122s. Most events are between 120-200 people. Looking at picking up a pair of powered line array speakers before the upcoming wedding season. Which do you prefer…RCF Evox 8, RCF J8 or the EV Evolve 50? I bring up the EV Evolve 50 since I have several DJs that rave about them. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Evolve 50s don’t cut it. I’ve used my buddies and they’re loud, but not much bass, and they definitely hit their limit when you really want to push them a bit. RCF is much better the Evolve system
Q V they work extremely well with classical guitar. We used them for a show with classical guitar, piano, and a vocalist and they did phenomenal. Give us a call if you are interested and we will get you the best price possible.
Thank you so much for a great video. I'm one click away from ordering 2 Evox J8 speakers but I'm afraid it's not gonna be the same powerful sound and deep bass as I got with my PA already. What do you think? Grateful for your opinion. Could a pair of Evox J8 meassure with 2 Mackie SRM450 and 1 Alto TS212S 12” subwoofer. So sick and tired of carry them around, heavy for a smaller swedish girl doing mobile DJing as a fulltime job. / Thanks again!! / New follower :)
Thx for the comparison. As DJ Saxophonist, I think J8 will make the job. A pair is enough for how much people indoor (such as wedding parties)? Best from Switzerland
The j8 is more soft more warm sound - the evox 8 is more sharp & detail - its dependent what you like - for club i preferred the j8 lovely 😍sound , for outdoor only evox 8
Excelente video saludos desde México, que canción es la que esta sonando? Me podría decir el nombre de la canción? Se escucha muy bien Ojala siga haciendo estos videos nos ayuda a conocer la exelente marca que es RCF
I’m quite amazed because I expected by the bigger sub etc of the J8 it would sound more impressive than it’s older sibling the V2 - but to my ears it’s the other way around. Perhaps it’s the Wood? To my ears the V2 sounds better.
I am currently using the sub electro voice EV EKX-18SP. but the truth does not end convincing me. I'm thinking of acquiring a means to complement, what do you recommend?
I currently have a pair of RCF 712 mk4's combined with one of the RCF as905mk2 subs, also I have a pair of Db Technologies ES602's, I love the super portability of the db 602's but I feel they just lack a bit of power, so I was thinking of getting a pair of evox j8's, how would a pair of j8's compare to the 602's and how would they compare in power to my RCF 712/905 set up? I only do dj work and never more than 200 people.
I have the Evox 8 and a Jmix8 and have found the Evox 8 to be louder than the Jmix8 when used as a pair (ie: using the Jmix8 with the internal mixer disabled.). In this mode, If i set the evox8 volume to 75%, i find that i have to set the Jmix8 volume to more like 80-85% to get a nice centred sound. Otherwise, the evox 8 sounds dominant over the Jmix8. Nothing a bit of tweaking won't solve though. There's also a firmware upgrade out for the Jmix8 which I will perform tomorrow. This might solve this as well as sort out some issues with the evo app. Great speakers though. Great video too guys. Thanks.
I don't think that it will solve the problem, because the jmix8 is a pure digital loudspeaker and therefore also controlled in this way and the j8 has the edge. i know some people who have the problem and have switched from the jmix8 to the j8
Hi could you please suggest a portable easy to set up speaker system for a 6 piece live music band to cater 100 to 400 people? We are considering a pair of evox 12. Our worry is can this drive a band? Is there a better portable option which suits our requirement which is in the price range of evox 12
Hmmm…why did you elevate them on boxes? By doing that the subwoofer doesn’t couple with the floor and likely changes the fidelity that RCF engineers intended
A few years ago I was in the market for a small, lightweight and powerful set up for a band. I tried the Evox 8 and 12. I eventually went with the 12 purely because of the better thump. And I haven't regretted the choice. But the 8 was a very very sweet sounding set up. The clarity on the top end was beautiful. I have considered doubling up on the Evox 12 for larger rooms, which isn't often but when it happens, I do feel like I could use with some extra. But I am told by many the Evox 12 isn't designed to ve used in tandem with a 2nd one (assuming a pair of them per side) unless you can space then out that is. Could you shed some light on that?
When we you put another Evox beside one that is already set up there will be a lot of high frequency overlap. This will cause a lot of phasing, lobbing, and many other issues. The evox 12’s are great!!
@@sweettreeproductions2149 am bit confused about this. In RCF user manual it says we can use 4 j8 for bigger events (2 per side). So why do you say we cant use two j8s instead of one bigger 18 sub. Also if theres phase issues how people use line arrays to get more wattage. I believe doubling j8 per side also similar to adding more line arrayes. This is just my opinion and i am not an expert. Therefore your valuable advice will be much appriciated
hi thanks for the very interesting video I wonder if a system like this one could be great also for home listening I like the concept satellite plus sub a lot Kind regards gino
Evox8 (the old one if I correctly assume) has more transparent sounding voice. Also it Is more portable in terms of size, has better looks (just my subjective opinion). Probably the newer one can produce deeper sounding lows. I wonder whether the similar naturalness of the voice can be achieved on the J8 by tinkerin with the high frequencies on the mixer??
Just curious if you've compared either Evox against a competitor like LD Malibu or JBL Eon One? It's nearly impossible to find RCF in my area and all I get to choose from is JBL unless I buy blind! :-(
Michael Cadena we have compared against the JBL we really like the tone of the RCF much better. Our favorite are the NXL24 but they are much more expensive. If you are in the US give us a call and we will get you the best price available.
Hi I’m just bought the J8. I do gigs as soloist guitar singer. What main volumen setting you recomend. I star with the volumen at 12 o clock but later I have to cranked all up to reach the volume I need.
@@daveelder4792 Hi Dave Two years and going strong. I used it for soloist gigs and duets with spanish cajon drum and never let me down. Indoor or outdoor enogh volume. I used the volume in the J8 al 3 oclock and 12 o clock in the mixer. I hope this helps.
@@RoigRivera thanks, that's great to hear. What do you use for a mixer? I'm really on the fence between this and the new Bose L1 Pro32. I've heard great things about both systems.
Hello, can you tell me which the best for trio live band : Vocals / Acoustic Guitar / Violoncelle-Contrebasse / Cajon. Audio quality is our priority and we hesitate between these two systems, and we need LR (2 systems) Thanks
Martos Stephan sorry we are just seeing your message. For the money difference, and little bit better low frequency we recommend the J8. If you haven’t already made the purchase give us a call and we will hook you up.
Hey, really good comparison; thank you! I currently used a pair of RCF 705mkII subs with RCF 722a's on the top (often I only just use one sub). I am on the fence between keeping my 705's and down-size my tops (maybe to 710's or 708's) or bite the bullet and trade it all in for the pair of evox's. I can see on your clip that the sub of the J8 is much closer in size to that of the 705 sub any so thanks for that observation. Any thoughts? Cheers, love from Liverpool, England!
With our experience with both we would recommend buying a pair of the new 710 to go with your 705’s they would have more horsepower than the Evox system. If you are going for portability the Evox 8 or J8 are extremely surprising for the size.
Hi, thanks for your response. I have a look at the HD10 and they look like contenders; for starters, they certainly look a lot better that the Art Series. I will check them you. Cheers.
I sized down to 708a wit the 702as subs but back again with my 722 and 905as simply because of the quality diference in sound. Much fuller and richer wit the big set-up. When i played gigs wit the small set-up,getting towards the end of the gig where atmosphere starts kicking in, I couldn't keep up whit it. Started lacking bass and volume. It's nice to have a smaller set-up though for real small events. That's what i', using it for right now.
Since it doesn't have eq settings to set bass-treble-mids, do you thing it can work without a mixer? I'm asking 'cause I know that this kind of systems are lucking in mids and as a solo musician, I don't want to carry a mixer besides everything else. Thank you.
Justin Pokrywka-Realtor to our knowledge all of their PA Speakers are manufactured in Italy. I know a few of the in ceiling speakers are sourced to China but it is clearly written on them. Every speaker we own says made in Italy on the back. We have had very few failures thank goodness with RCF 7 cabinets out of over 4000. Those 7 cabinets were either advance replaced or repaired within a week or two.
I have one, not happy with it or the sound, I was ringing frequencies with the 7 band EQ and a mic and I heard a pop, the audio switched off but the power stated on, I didn't get audio back for at least 60 seconds. Can't risk that happening at a gig. The sound is muffled at best and the APP mixer is very limited and not very user friendly constant switching between pages, 7 band eq is not nearly enough. My DB tech es503 sounds much better and costs less, check out my review of the db es503
You could, but given all factors involved especially including what the tops would cost, it would make much more sense just to buy an evox 12. however if someone gave you a couple evox 12 tops, it's not going to hurt anything to see how it sounds. It certainly won't damage the amplifier. They are just not going to be matched to the internal crossover of the amp
I enjoy your reviews, but is there only the one song you use to test speakers with. Maybe play short selections, but various types of music to see how speakers handle it.
callenjw For that application the Evox 8 would do great. For audiophile quality we would recommend 2 NXL24 with 2 SUB 8004. If we can help you out with the purchase let us know. We can get you the best prices around.
don at fair S We use this live recording because we own the rights to it. If we use any other songs then CZcams will take our video down. If you have some tracks that you have made we would love to have them to use. We have used these cabinets with dance music and rock and roll. We were very surprised at the quality at loud volumes.
Sorry I'm non plussed by this. Can you do a comparison playing the same passages back to back so we can compare the exact same thing, just short 10 second passages! AND you need to show different kinds of music.i.e. drum heavy so the low end and kik drum differences are shown and then guitar/heavy like metal music. then maybe some female airy vocals.
@@matteolabrosciano5433 In linea di massima concordo ... ma ormai tra legni scadenti e resine composite tecnologiche non è sempre detto .... anzi spesso ci sono sorprese !!
Quasi indistinguibili .. molti dei commenti che leggo qui non sarebbero tali se non si potrebbe vedere quale diffusore e' in funzione , in pratica vorrei sentire i commenti solo dall'ascolto dell'audio senza poter vedere il diffusore che suona ...in quel caso sono certo che nessuno potrebbe distinguere e fare apprezzamenti particolari sull'uno o sull'altro diffusore o ci sarebbero commenti completamente contrastanti !!!!
They definitely are designed to be on the ground and that is how we use them. They are on top of other cabinets in the box so they are coupling with them as well.
WHY Why Why do you demo a portable PA with the most LAME and dynamically limited piece of music ! Im astounded at the songs that are used to demo Line array sPAs on youtube - Ballads , County , MOR, Awful Chick singers that sound like little girls - For Gods sake use a Rock , Dance -Duff or Pop track !
Finally! Been waiting for someone to do this.
evox 8 seemed to me with more means between 2.5 and 5k but with a fuller bass. The J8 seemed more subtle and flat. I am wrong?
The Evox 8 Highs seemed to have a more defined high frequency 10k and up and the bass was tighter. The J8 definitely sounded like it went lower as far as the sub.
Thanks for that test j8 or evox8 I like both but the j8 is what I’m going to get👍🏾

You could, but given all factors involved especially including what the tops would cost, it would make much more sense just to buy an evox 12.
however if someone gave you a couple evox 12 tops, it's not going to hurt anything to see how it sounds. It certainly won't damage the amplifier.
They are just not going to be matched to the internal crossover of the amp
Same
which one is the loudest at maximum?
J8
This actually have enough oomph for a bar metal band?
For the right size crowd they are pretty impressive. It might be good to go with something larger for metal.
How much would the J8 cost me to get it through you?

Money Aside, What would you choose for a small compact hiring rig?
callenjw what size audiences, and what genre of music?
I enjoy your reviews, but is there only the one song you use to test speakers with. Maybe play short selections, but various types of music to see how speakers handle it.
50-150 people, Light bands/ acoustic Acts/ Party hire
callenjw For that application the Evox 8 would do great. For audiophile quality we would recommend 2 NXL24 with 2 SUB 8004. If we can help you out with the purchase let us know. We can get you the best prices around.
don at fair S We use this live recording because we own the rights to it. If we use any other songs then CZcams will take our video down. If you have some tracks that you have made we would love to have them to use. We have used these cabinets with dance music and rock and roll. We were very surprised at the quality at loud volumes.
May i ask who sings that song?
Mark swaby it is a band called the Wildwood Ruminators.
RCF 👌👌💯💯🔊🔊
They are incredible!
Which one are you recommend?
Thank you so much
Tien Phung we really enjoy our Evox 8 but for the price we would recommend the J8 especially for Dj use.
Sweet Tree Productions
Thank you so much...
Giờ anh xài loa nào rồi anh? Hihi

Bose
RCF
Please name song
가격은 어떻게 되나요?
Sorry I'm non plussed by this. Can you do a comparison playing the same passages back to back so we can compare the exact same thing, just short 10 second passages! AND you need to show different kinds of music.i.e. drum heavy so the low end and kik drum differences are shown and then guitar/heavy like metal music. then maybe some female airy vocals.
j8 seams to sound slightly more clean and crist and tighter then the x8
Could you run the two together at a gig at the same time? I have a V2 and there’s a J8 for sale near me
It’s better to get the matching series
A evox 8 eh mais natural e aa J8 puxa mais pro medio, com certeza a evox 8
for those of you who really don't know what a demo should be, please watch this video.
thank you, keep up the good work.
Whats the tittle of the song test???
Veronica Besin it is the Wild Wood Ruminators covering a Merle Haggard song.
Today I started Loving you again by Merle Haggard.
You can give me the price of DHL 10..

Hi How do I hook up a second powered sub to a single Jmix8 ...settings etc?
hit sub first and crossover, then jump to EVOX
Evox J8 its more bas than the EVox 8
Is it true that the J8 puts out more bass then the evox 8
Rene Rodriguez to us it appears that the J8 does go lower and might be just a little louder.
The 8 sounds better than J
Evox 8 sounds like it has more low mid sound,sounds more fuller than j8
Thank you!
Great video. Horrible song LOL
quale e meglio evox8 o evox j8 ?
Secondo me le evox 8.. la cassa è in legno a differenza della j8 che è in plastica.. hai una timbrica migliore .. parere mio
@@matteolabrosciano5433 In linea di massima concordo ... ma ormai tra legni scadenti e resine composite tecnologiche non è sempre detto .... anzi spesso ci sono sorprese !!
LoL my crappy semi open cans too accurate J8 was crappy, evox 8 are 100 J8 is a 60. I hope you spend more on EQ to tune J8's.
J8 is better
You could have used a better song. Damn, that song sucks! 🤣
Quasi indistinguibili .. molti dei commenti che leggo qui non sarebbero tali se non si potrebbe vedere quale diffusore e' in funzione , in pratica vorrei sentire i commenti solo dall'ascolto dell'audio senza poter vedere il diffusore che suona ...in quel caso sono certo che nessuno potrebbe distinguere e fare apprezzamenti particolari sull'uno o sull'altro diffusore o ci sarebbero commenti completamente contrastanti !!!!
Vanno posizionati in terra! Cambia la risposta del woofer!
They definitely are designed to be on the ground and that is how we use them. They are on top of other cabinets in the box so they are coupling with them as well.
Uuufff
The 12" is a little bit bigger??????? J8 is 12" lol. Box on regular is bigger though 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Correct the 12” enclosure is larger on the Evox j8.
I think people get confused by the model numbering scheme...the 8 and 12 i believe refers to how line array speakers there are in the top enclosure...
Horrible music!!
Luis Vidal what music do you like?
@@sweettreeproductions2149 It´s good music
I hear no difference
J8 sounds terrible the 8 is marginally better
WHY Why Why do you demo a portable PA with the most LAME and dynamically limited piece of music ! Im astounded at the songs that are used to demo Line array sPAs on youtube - Ballads , County , MOR, Awful Chick singers that sound like little girls - For Gods sake use a Rock , Dance -Duff or Pop track !
POP? compressed within and inch of its life? you say dynamic?
