- EV Everse 8 VS AlphaTheta WAVE-EIGHT - Which is better?
Everse 8
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.
WAVE-EIGHT
Cable-free DJing without sound delays is now possible with the WAVE-EIGHT thanks to SonicLink. This new ultra-low-latency technology wirelessly transmits audio much faster than a Bluetooth connection so only a fraction of a second passes between pressing play on the decks and hearing the track through the speakers, which lets you mix without missing a beat.

Do you own either speaker? What are your thoughts?
EV for the Win! 🏆
Size, Price, Watts, SPL
And they just brought out the Everse 12 for not much more money!
Personally I got two of the Everse 8 , smaller , easier to move plus I link both Everse either with an xlr or my xvive and you get more loud clarity for ceremony with the mic. Then after the ceremony I use one for my monitor , practical and great speaker.
I also use multiple mics at ceremonies. Two lavs and one for a reader, so I use a mixer. I use the Everse 8 and love it. I've got two and two Everse 12s.
great detailed and honest review as always
I really appreciate your humor and energy during you reviews.
Already ordered two a few weeks ago, I also use 3 or 4 wireless mics for many ceremonies and I always use 2 speakers for both sides of the ceremony. When I finally get them the'll replace my 2 Mackie Thump Go's. Thanks for the funny review.
Like the more bass and the soft dome tweeters! 🎶
With the everse 8 you can power two mics (Sennheiser EWDX dual mic/ expensive option) (Shure Slxd dual mic/ my option and cheaper). I use that (2 lavs) and an aux cord for ceremonies (don’t trust Bluetooth).
I like the technology behind the wave 8 but can’t get over the size and ugliness. Great review Nick! Thank you!
Great review! Yeah I agree about the one mic only drawback for the EVs. Wave Eight 8️⃣💯
I’ve heard the Everse 8 & it sounded great. I typically use multiple mics, lapels as well, so I agree that the Wave 8
would be the better purchase.
Plus the SonicLink is clutch!
Great review!
SonicLink = SKAA Audio transmitter/receiver........same spec as I see it
LOL couldn't wait until the end. The commercials got me. I hate bluetooth. When I turn the volume Up or Down I want it to work immediately. Nothing worse than having people say I can't hear anything or it's too loud and you make an adjustment and have to wait for it to work.
You can also use the usb c out on the wave 8 to power a microphone receiver. I have an Alto TS08 with a battery pack for a wireless ceremony speaker currently, it has the usb out as well and I use that to power a wireless mic receiver. With a small battery pack velcro'd on the speaker I get about 4 hours cranking. May have to look into upgrading to the Wave 8 this summer.
nice one nick i know what to get to replace my jbl's
Great video Nick!😎 One note if no one corrected yet, IP actually stands for Ingress Protection, but the rest of the info there was correct.
Thorough review. Thanks Nick
EV8 til i die. The EV app and control for ceremonies is amazing. We just need that sonic link to be available across all speakers. DC is clutch then use a halo bolt for your second mic.
Take a look at SKAA Audio specs similar to SonicLink
The wave 8 would work perfect for one venue I regularly DJ weddings. ceremony outside; Reception outside in different spot which is outside of the reception hall. So being able to setup outside reception hall and have the sonic link to the wave 8 inside for dinner
Here's the thing.
Everse 8 has digital mixer included, its smaller, its got a good battery, and it powers a mic receiver.
Wave Eight, it is heavier, a little bigger, slightly less loud, BRAND NEW WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY, and still rocking.
If you already have Everse 8, I wouldn't sell yours for a Wave Eight unless you're a trendy on top of technology type. If you have been debating on an Everse 8, this is where I can see a potential option to get the Wave Eight. I especially think the technology for the wireless transmitting is going to become a really big deal in the near future.
You won't go wrong with either choice based on what I saw. Thanks for the videos Nick, appreciate having something to feed my hyperfixation with DJing 😅
I own the Everse 8 and it’s great for ceremonies and cocktail hour. Then I use ceremony speaker as a monitor. I also got the Everse 12s for bigger shows but I don’t know if I’m going to use them lol.
I love all the features.. but I can't get over how it looks.. I'll stick to my 2 everse 8s for now lol
Great review Nick!
Great review as usual Nick!
To be honest, I'm still happy with having Everse vs the Alpha-Theta. I use 2-3 mics at times and can still make it work with the EV. The worst part of the ceremony setup is carrying the tripod. It is absolutely clutch.
Now that said, I would be interested in the A-T for satellites if I didn't already have a really nice wireless sending option. Alto Stealth Pro receivers are amazing, and you can power them from the 12v connection on the EV. It still remains truly wireless and the setup is simple.
All in all, I would still go with the EV since it handles everything I need to do, without having to haul anything that won't fit in a small backpack.
Cool setup 👍
@@J-DJ How do you make 2-3 mics work with the ev. External battery?
@@nielsb1303 Try ask @sterlingeventsbysge 😅 but i guess he uses some sort of dual mic wireless systems, you know 2 mics on one receiver and then both mics out of the receivers mix output........just my guess
The x rating is for particulates, dust etc. good rating to know if you do burning man for example.
Even before I watched your comparison review, my pick was the Wave 8. Cleveland Terry did a great review on the Wave 8 showing how it sounded cranked up and I love what I heard. The low end didn't disappear. That's important to me. Anyway great review!!
Great vid! However,With the Sennheiser EWDX you can run 2 wireless transmitters off the one Everse8 5V power. Does that change your final thoughts? 😊
Everse with DJI Mic or Sennheiser EW100 system for me. I also use the ew100 system for wireless from speaker to speaker.
Hey Nick. Does the link receiver works on other or all djs controllers ??? So we have the option to use the wave eight. Or does it only work with the Omnis-Duo controller only . Did you have the option to use your Rev7 with the Wave eight speakers without the cables ?
Good review. Both of these are good speakers, but you'll get what you pay for in terms of quality and functionality.
Thank you, Nick I value your judgment. I’ve seen several reviews similar to yours. I’m now going to order two of the Wave Eights from KPODJ!
My ceremony setup consists of a Denon prime go and 2qlxd shure mics and Maui 5 go but I might switch to 2 wave eights
Soniclink doesn't work with the onboard mic mixer, correct? So if you're planning to use a pair for ceremonies, you're forced to use an external mixer into the soniclink dongle?
what is the frequency response range for the Pioneer
Your a funny dude. 😂😂😂
Legendary Status my brother
Very helpful youtube channel. I really enjoy your content, keep up 👏
I like the fact that you can use the pioneer as a filler speaker right from your mixer
I’d like you to try the Everse 12 vs the Wave Eight. They are similar size and similar in price.
Thanks for the review vs Everse 8. What's with the 1/4" mic input? That should be an instrument input, so I hope it functions as such. I have been gigging my Everse 8 for over 6 months, and it's been a game changer. I don't think that I will be getting the Move 8.
Nice
Id be embarrassed using that wave-eight at an event vs I'd be confident just off the look of the everse 8 alone
More watts is needed on the evrse to compensate for the the efficiency of a bigger cabinet on the puoneer, inwould still go with the durability of a titanium driver than a soft dome tweeter
400 vs 110 watt and 121 spl vs 111 spl is a no brainer
That + the weight difference….
114 spl for the wave eight **
@@NickSpinelli still significant
@@djsticks6351 yeah on paper, in real life they’re both just as loud
Like Nick said, doesn’t matter between the watts, or the SPL, they’re both just as loud
Hey Nick,
Great review!!! With the rundown on your Ceremony setup that you described, does that mean you pretty much ALWAYS need power at the site? I often do Ceremonies out in the middle of nowhere and everything needs to be running on battery.
In these situations I use a Bose S1 with my iPad for music via Bluetooth, and then a Shure PG58 combined with an Xvive U3 for vows etc. Of course with a pair of Xvive's the S1 will take 2 x mics.
I have Jackery batteries so I don’t ever need power. I set up where I like! 🤣
Cool solution@@NickSpinelli
Alright wave 8 it is! Very informative vid. Thanks
I just got the EVERSE 8 and constantly limits out any idea on how to adjust
I agree. Pioneer wins. Well for me, I'm blind, and can't use a screen on a speaker, so those traditional knobs and buttons work for me!
Nice review, but you forgot that the ev has BT link to another everse 8.
thank you for this!
You can use dual mic for EV
After using the Wave, do you still stand by this? Leaving the Everse behind from now on?
EV 🔥
I’m just buying 2 of each ✌️
Can you compare them vs the party box jbl ultimate?
Why don't you put a splitter or power strip on the output in the back of the Evie so you can power multiple mics
With the Everse 8, if you use a mic receiver with multiple channels that’s a potential workaround isn’t it?
I hope this is a good one because I’m about to pull the plug and purchase 2 Wave Eights due to the wireless feature, which is supposed to be better than Bluetooth
This will answer every question you have.
Will the RCF Fan Boy go EV????
Probably would’ve have been better to compared the Everse 12 to the Wave-Eight?
How does compare to the everse 12? Since its basically the same dimensions as a 12 inch speaker. It is closer in size and price to the everse 12 seems like a better comparison there. The handle and wheels just seem cheap to me like the adj powered 12 speaker that was out awhile ago.
For me as a wedding DJ, it is important that the speakers can be aesthetically adapted to the location and also look modern. The Alpha Theta definitely don't do that.
What bride isn't a fan of the "walmart electronics" look? LOL.
The AT look is way better. The look like a proper speaker.
Great video Nick, I’m a new DJ and was thinking of getting the Everse 8 are you interested in selling it?
Use a mixer, multiple mics, but use IEM transmitter (P9T from Shure is best bang for buck), and use older SLX4 receivers (soldered, according to Shure website, to make compatible with P9t) and you're golden! EV Everse all the way. Just waiting for the Everse Subs to come out! Pioneer/Alpha Theta can suck a fat one (IMHO).
No sound comparison?
Yo nick .alpha theta should sale the wireless technology in a box package to use with existing speakers and controllers.
On sonic link what tranmiters are currently out their. I know new alpha thada has it build in their controller but it there a plug and play tranmitter units out their if you don't want to run their controller.
Nope... It's not built into controllers...you have to plug your controller into the dongle, even on the Alphatheta controllers... Take a look at Dani and Streetheart using SKAA technology...they're available now and will run any controller and speaker.
U tried Nick but I feel like your leaning towards wave 8 speaker
You have a great talent of communication, I can't wait to see you cover more categories of technology.
By the way, you can get mic receivers which run two mics (both Shure and Sennheiser have them) and some brands also have 4 mic receivers. So you aren’t actually limited to only one mic as you stated in the video 😉
Great testing 😂
Of course Nick picked any thing other than EV. He’s now in bed with Alpha Theta😂 isn’t RCF gonna get jealous 😂. We all know he hates EV products. Look at past videos. Thanks for the review
Do you guys use the Bose S1? It’s everywhere in Australia.
I just sold mine to go with the everse 8 but in all honesty, The Bose is a great speaker for ceremony or general listening. I always got compliments with it. People were surprised at how loud and clear the sound is. It’s 50 bucks cheaper than the everse and will definitely get the job done. I just wanted a couple of the features everse offered like an app ,eq on the Bluetooth, and the extra spl.
Love it! Which lapel mics do you use for ceremonies ?
Shure SLX-D
Lol Nick how did you come up with IP = international protection?? Its ingress protection hehe.
Ev everse 8 for me
I really hope sonic link becomes the norm for wireless speakers so we can get full size 15 tops and 18 subs with sonic link
Take a look at SKAA wireless, same tech as SonicLink
Everse 8 🎉
Ev has a feedback suppression
lol the Wave Eight looks like a Peavey from like 1995…
E.V ... Electro-Voice or E-Verse?? Just noticing it in the comments ... which is it?
If price is not an object.....I am looking for the best 8" Powered speakers for live singing . Anyone?
What happened to the two mic Ew-dx sennheiser receiver? 😂 I use two mics with the everse 8…
I need to run it through a distro as well. Really busy airwaves in NJ/NY
People be forgetting that SKAA been out for how long…..I’ve been cut out wire n djing with that so that sonic link technology is old news been doing that for past 3 years And it does the same thing as sonic link where I can move it speaker to speaker I’m really surprised no one even talks about them oh well guess I will be still exclusive lol
Agreed, SKAA is much better, especially using Dani/Streetheart -- get pro balanced inputs/outputs, longer range (external antennas)... Personally, I just use Sennheiser UHF mic transmitters and receivers.
I actually think the pioneer looks tight. But im a mobile dj and the everse is extremely more mobile. I also don’t buy new gear just cuz its new
Good luck using this as a filler without any option to adjust speaker delay.
lmfao what did we think it was sickoooooo!!! 💦
What’s about EV 12 vs alpha theta?
12” sub vs 8” sub isn’t a fair comparison
Yeah but it’s in the same price range and for DJs (not wedding) who search for a good speaker for outdoor raves which is more than just loud and chunky (soundboks) it’s interesting to compare.
I mean the alpha theta possibility to link three boxes and use just one as an subwoofer (via app software frequency steering) is unique in the Batterie PA market (since now) and could be compared to a stereo Everse 12 set.
Why not just have the Sonic link built into the controller. This way it makes sense to buy the speaker! 🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
I thought first number of ip stands for dust
What happens with the NEXT version of Bluetooth comes out? Wireless connectivity for a remote speaker is nice, but how many of us have an Alto Stealth hanging around that you haven't used in years because is 2.4G?
Looks like that wave technology is the truth
Everse 12 all the way. I know its not in the same category .
Technical it is closer in price and size.
cheers!
8 inch speakers won't cut it
🍆 1:56 “if ya know what I’m talkin’ bout…..” lol - Kris Kelli 🎤
you have a chandelier in your storage unit.. you must be rich!
These speakers have no more than 40 watts continuous RMS.
Manufacturers purposely lie about their power. These big numbers you read are only on paper.
It’s simply impossible to ask a battery to provide so much current for hours and hours.
do not be fooled guys.
This feels like the swap shop version of a true wireless speaker.. took an 8" pa speaker way to large for its size.. added a side cubby. tossed in a low latency 5g wifi dongle that connects to a mixer and called it some fancy link name. Requires an outboard mixer for actual stereo with 2 units. Cmon man. good wifi dongles been on amazon years now for $50. this is nothing new.. and this speaker shouldnt even be compared to an everse.. Noob trap all day. LOL If you gonna compare.. use the alto busker at $350. It is more fairly rated against it spec wise except the alto has an app and actual ecosystem. The only positive on the wave is the soft dome tweeter.. but is that a positive? It isnt even covered or grilled and is used in sensitive studio monitors for a reason. Titanium dome tweeters are tougher and stand up to the rigors of road use. A good eq can dial in a great tone. Not sure I'm interested in an uncovered, soft tweeter being exposed night after night to gigging abuse even if its a little smoother.. 110 watts and can act as a sub? Maybe in a 10x10 bedroom! Can't stop laughing man. Also,, since the 8" 110 watt wave 8 seems to be about the size of a typical 12" with the weight to match, it will probably sound about the same in volume while you are near them both. Step away 40 feet. then you can tell what 400w vs 110w long throw sounds like.
SonicLink looks just like the specs of SKAA Audio - so go get a set of those. Put 100$ more on the desk and get the Everse 12, about the same weight and size as the Wave Eight. I have heard/seen that AT suddenly start co-op with smaller EU youtube influencers on both products, so something tells me that the sale of Omnis Duo and Wave Eight up untill now has been a flop, and now they are trying to push it again. And this so-called review isn´t anything else than a Wave Eight commercial.
btw they had to use the IPX rating on the Wave Eight, because the X says nothing about particles, and with a softdome almost unprotected in that horn the IP rating would have been something like IP14
I can go without these. big corporations have you DJs by the nuts having you buy all this junk
The Wave-Eight is only worth if it was $350-$400 dollars... Plastic feels cheap. The style is ugly with fake vents, huge grill with a small driver behind it... Dome Tweeter is cheap use proper compression next time... On a full charge at full Volume battery dies in 2 hours.. (Pool Party tested)... The only thing that works well is the SonicLink wireless connectivity.. and its not as powerful as you think. (I tell it as it is... not sponsored by anyone)
This is really a gimmick speaker.... Like I said its work $400 tops!!
I got a review on it coming soon on my channel and its not going to be nice.. Sorry Alpha Theta.. this is not a good start!!
Respectfully, you’re dead wrong, I tested it as well. What I said in the video was 100% correct. I’m not sponsored by anybody.
Also, way to promote your own channel in my comments you clown.
@@NickSpinelli I never accused you of being a sponsor.. I said I was not a sponsor.
@inelli I absolutely have no intentions of advertising, my extremely small, personal channel on your channel..
It is just a comment and opinion so people could have options …. isn’t that what Comments and CZcams are for?
@@NickSpinelli We both got different results thats all... I never said you where wrong just point out my results for people to take into consideration .. I played the Wave-Eight Speaker at MAX Gain in a 4 Hour pool party with the DJ Controller volume set to middle (12 O'clock position) and to be precise battery was dead with in 2 1/2 hours... (I said 2 before).... and yes it was fully charged.
Alpha too big
