This looks like a great product. I ran sound for a wedding in a park where they forgot to unlock the power on the gazebo. Luckily I had a couple of 100 ft cords to run power to a neighbor’s house. I’ve also had to use a generator 150’ away for a wedding in a big park with no power available. Fortunately it was an afternoon event, and i knew ahead of time. I always carry trash bags for outdoor events.
I am so amazed at the gear you know. You remind me of someone who runs sound....Thank you for this video....I had a battery powered PA once. I did small gigs and not having to worry about a socket in the right location was a plus plus plus....
Love how helpful your vids are Scott. I also thinks its fascinating that you subject yourself to so many trials of new gear. Thats why youre rhe man. You always make things work and have back ups. I run sound and had a speaker smoke out once. Since then Im so gunshy with things. #uhlsbrassballs
Thanks man! Some of these shows I’ve done I’ve brought 3 new pieces of gear to try out lol. It can be a bit much sometimes. Tomorrow I told myself JUST to bring the new PA and that’s it lol, otherwise it’s too much to try at once.
check out the Wave 8 as I always use two speaks for my ceremonies and 2 to 3 wireless mics. The Wave 8 is IP rated for rain and sounds great. Running with two QLDX lapel mics makes a solid Ceremoy system.
Great to know of this gear as a viable option, Scott. I ran sound for a wedding this past weekend with a similar situation. Band was located in the ballroom, and ceremony was elsewhere on the property needing us to set up a stand-alone system separate from the ballroom. Long story short, watching your past videos motivated me to purchase a number of good, reasonably priced 5.8 gighz guitar wireless pods that we set up to get 2 channels on the ceremony sound system connected. Worked out great! Thanks for the continuing to keep us educated.
Nice! Glad to know it’s working! I would just make sure those are reliable wireless. I’m not sure which ones you used, but the 5.8ghz stuff are usually cheaper, so that’s why I mentioned it. Line of sight helps a lot! Cheers, glad you found it helpful 🤘
@ScottUhlMusic would this be a good alternative for me to run my multi effects unit? Playing guitar at home, instead of using a headrush FRFR, I can use this?
I love my setup bought 2 last week and a elx sub. Played a wedding gig this weekend and we had a power shutdown due to heavy thunder. My pa played on like it was a walk in the park (without the sub) imagine the smile on my face 😁 great work Scott! your Chanell is very expensive to follow in a good way 😂
@@Elniniss no I use the built in. I have a complex loopy pro rig that is also powered by my iPad. Got a mixer in my time baby face pro. I just made a rig video if your interested and got a spare half hour 🤓
I really don’t like when people leave negative reviews for gear when they don’t even try to figure out what they did to influence a bad outcome. I find that 3 and 4 star reviews is where you find out the truth and usually a fix. And never cheap out on backpacking equipment or gig gear 😎
I've used my Bose S1 L-Ion powered speakers for a few years now. They work great for monitor wedges, playing backing tracks over Bluetooth and even as a busking setup with multiple inputs for guitar, microphone and aux in. I have a couple small duffles I can throw over in case of rain - but the EV takes care of this nicely and the app management for the speakers is ahead of what my Bose does. I'm a HUGE fane of wireless for guitars, IEM... ANYthing that allows me to get rid of cables... and that?... combined with battery powered devices?... is the easiest way to go Larger venues of course - will always require some sort of cables for power, et - but less is more for me! LOL! This is my live busing rig, using a single Bose S1 and a Roland 6xAA amp for Yamaha Silent Guitar (1x9v)... although?... not 'cheaping out' is always a great point to make for your audience - and ME! Thanks Scott! czcams.com/video/6rI0urZF7Lw/video.html
I’ve been using 4 of the ev 8’s for a small church service as well as numerous spoken word corporate events. They have always performed well. The longest I’ve ran them was for 8 hours at a corporate event that had spoken word presentations with break music in between. Highly recommend.
Looking forward to the battery powered mixer video. I'm ready to pull the trigger on the Behringer one but can wait for your thoughts and experiences with them. I'm torn between the 9V on the Behringer vs USB power bank sourced battery on other options.
@@ScottUhlMusic Anxiously awaiting the results! At a minimum for me it's got to have battery or USB power bank capability and per channel pan control for backing track flexibility.
Replay!!! Great video Scott!! Very thorough as always! Great minds think alike when it comes to micing officiants. I love using headsets over lavs because of when they get out of the pickup pattern and harder to control unless you have a digital board with perimetric capabilities. There are very few people I know that bought the weather resistant bag and I would leave it on all the time. I would do a custom bag with a zippered pocket for cables and able to keep the shelf mounted. Also, you have all you need to run wireless speakers if needed with the slxd portable system and mixer. All the gear you already own used for more things!!
excellent video. I watch most of your video reviews and they are excellent. Great job. I'm a DJ as well and have the everse 8. You are 100% correct when you mentioned that it is a perfect set up for wedding ceremonies and cocktail hour. I just picked up the the Shure SLXD15 which was extremely helpful as I recently had to do a beach wedding ceremony. I've not used the EV RE3 mic receiver, but prior to the SLXD15, I've would use a pair of Shure ULXD4 mic receivers in a small rack with a ULXD1 body pack and/or or a Shure beta 58 for readings during a ceremony. Do you find the mic quality with the EV RE3 is comparable to the Shure ULXD or even SLXD ?
Nice!! ULXD is an even better system for sure, that’s a fantastic option! I do like the RE3. It sounds fantastic for speeches with the EVERSE, which is why I like it. But if you already have a ULXD, you are set 🤘
You could use a 12 volt lithiumm battery through a pure sine wave inverter to run most PA gear if its not too electric power hungry. Especially as battery pa gear tends to be more expensive and often awkward to swap bstteries over and you maybe able to use the gear you already have.
For ceremony, I am currently running 1 Jackery 1000, 2 JBL Eon One Compact, 2 Shure Qlxd Receivers, 1 Alpha-Theta Omnis Duo and last but not least 1 Sennheiser IEM G4
@@ScottUhlMusic I hope Jackery is paying attention to us wedding DJ’s and come out with a jackery that is really user friendly for us. I know that we are not their key demographic but still, there are a lot of DJ’s using jackerys
As always very informative video. one quick question.. I noticed that you are basically setuping in a mono scenario how do these speakers perform when you are setting up a stereo setup? I suppose you have to run a cable from one speaker to the next but is there a wireless way to do so?
Yeah I just do it in mono. You can always do wireless from a mixer into two separate stereo systems. I did a review on a system that does that here: czcams.com/video/tM4ndTdGfos/video.html
Thanks Scott. What is the best social media platform to contact you on to say "Hey, have you seen this product? Or ask a question not relevant to the video?"
The daisy-chain power output is certainly a key feature. What's the point of powered speakers when you have to run separate power for your receiver? Great drop-in solution...
Scott, you put a lot of emphasis on not going cheap for your wireless gear for weddings. So would you say Phenyx Pro Mics are not the best for wedding ceremonies?
Phenyx pro makes some great budget friendly systems that do work well and I’ve used before. But a good digital system, with antenna diversity, more than 40Mhz tuning bandwidth, and a way to set the RF strength from low to high is important imo
Another excellent and informative video! A quick question, if I may, about the EV Evolve 50s you mentioned that you use with your band. How do you find those column array speakers with a live band compared to the usual point source speakers? I have been looking at a pair dB Technologies ES802 column arrays myself. The general consensus is that column arrays aren't as good for live bands and it is quite difficult to test and compare them. And most CZcams videos are about how they work for DJs. Thanks for reading my essay 🙂
Thanks! And my singer in my 90s band doesn’t like them, so he brings his 2 18” subs and tops. Which does sound bigger (especially that low end obviously). But man, having a “thin sounding kick drum” is worth it to me for the simplicity of the setup. I’m always interested in things that get the job done and also make my life easier. So I use them, and they work well! But I know they won’t be for everyone.
@@ScottUhlMusic Thanks man! Very helpful reply. I suspected as much. May have to stick to point source but also need it to fit in my car with my guitar gear as well 😂
Broooo I would love to sit down and have a full on interview with you on the grounds that I’m just now getting into live electronics and backing tracks. I’ve been doing electronic music my entire life but normally I would front the band and never been a DJ or the electronics guy in a live setting. I just recently joined a project doing the programming and I will also be doing the live synthesizers and backing tracks and I just have so many questions. For example, if I had three midi controllers and a launchpad all running into different software synthesizers how can I change them Mid song and or in between songs without loading up an entire different project? I have so many questions.
Thanks! And I haven’t really done a test with it, so I would need to try. But the 8 gets very loud with just music, where as using it with a mic and actual instruments needs to have more power in my experience. That’s why I like the 8 for cocktail hour and 12 for ceremony personally
@@ScottUhlMusic A comparison video EV12 vs EV8 would be the first on the web! My application is only music and I use a sub, so maybe I don't need to upgrade??
Would you say the everse 12 is significantly louder than the 8? I currently use a pair of everse 8’s and a 12 inch ev sub. Was thinking of upgrading the 8’s for the 12’s but don’t know if it would be worth it.
If you already have a sub, I think you are already doing well. There's not a HUGE change in the 12. It's there, but it's not a massive change. If what you have is working, I think you can stick with the 8 :)
Are you hearing hiss noise from everse 8? When i turn on the everse 8 without any connection to the speaker I'm hearing a hiss noise (White noise) from the everse 8, Is that noise normal for a speaker or need repair?.
One think, why do you always place the PA behind the audience? That would drive me crazy while speaking. Speakers muss stand in front or right behind of the speaker, where the voice comes from?!
Dude…. No kidding lol! It’s not always the bride, sometimes it’s the planner or a parent of one of the bride/groom, but it’s always “we are just gonna hope for the best” haha. Most people I work with are good… but man those few stick with you!
Scott, what would you think about using the 8s (or 12s) as stage monitors? I'm also a Colorado mountain guy and have been getting more requests to do remote live music with 3-4pc bands. I have a Honda ultra quiet generator and will be ordering a 2kw power station soon.. but if I could lessen the load while also having the utility of using them standalone at other gigs, that would be sweet. Ideally I'd like to get something like the EV PXM12M that are built to purpose but versatility wins on a limited budget. Thanks for another great video!
