Electro Voice Everse 8 Black Batteridrevet PA-system

Battery-Powered PA Loudspeaker for Mobile Performers

The Electro-Voice Everse 8 Black is the first battery-powered loudspeaker from Electro-Voice and the first weatherized model of its type, delivering pro-audio performance in a compact 7.6 kg cabinet. Maximum SPL of 121 dB and a wide, even 100° x 100° coverage pattern allow a single unit to fill a wedding ceremony or cocktail hour with clear sound. Inside sits an 8" ferrite-magnet woofer using EV's patented SST (Signal Synchronized Transducers) port design, paired with a 1" titanium dome tweeter on a custom constant-directivity waveguide. Mobile entertainers will appreciate a self-contained PA that runs unplugged for hours.

What Sets the Everse 8 Apart in the Battery-Powered PA Segment

Standout integration of Dynacord's high-efficiency Class-D amplifier and DSP module delivers 400 W of clean power while keeping weight low. Studio-quality effects, 48 V phantom power, automatic feedback suppression, and audio ducking are all built into the 4-channel digital mixer—features usually found in rack-mounted gear. With Bluetooth true wireless stereo, two units pair for cable-free stereo playback. Performers can also power a wireless microphone receiver directly from the integrated 12 V DC port.

All-Day Battery Life with Tool-Free Swaps

For long events, a custom high-capacity Li-ion battery pack optimized for audio use powers the Everse 8 for a full day of moderate gigs or six hours at maximum output. Protection circuitry prevents deep discharge, and battery swaps take only seconds thanks to tool-free screws.

• Battery Capacity: 86.4 Wh Li-ion pack, removable without tools
• Enjoy over 12 hours of operation at moderate output (≈95 dB SPL), or more than 6 hours at full output
• USB Charging: 1.5 A max. lets you keep your phone topped up during streaming sets

Pro-Audio Performance in a Compact Cabinet

Full-bandwidth response from 50 Hz to 20 kHz (-10 dB) keeps vocals intelligible and bass lines tight. The 100° x 100° dispersion guarantees even coverage across the crowd. SST port design on the 8" woofer extracts more low-end from a small enclosure than typical ported cabinets, while the titanium dome tweeter delivers smooth highs at high SPLs without harshness.

• Max SPL: 121 dB measured at 1 m with broadband pink noise
• Frequency Response: 60 Hz – 20 kHz (-3 dB), 50 Hz – 20 kHz (-10 dB)
• Room-filling coverage thanks to a 100° x 100° (H x V) dispersion pattern

Flexible I/O, Weatherized Build, and Wireless Control

With two XLR/TRS combo jacks for microphones or instruments, a 3.5 mm stereo input for laptops and phones, and a TRS footswitch input for hands-free effects muting, connectivity is versatile. The polypropylene enclosure is light enough to carry one-handed via the soft-touch top handle. Even when outdoor conditions are less than ideal, IP43 weatherization—when used with the included input cover and battery/Bluetooth operation—lets performances continue through splashes or light rain.

• Amplifier Rating: 400 W Class-D, Dynacord-developed
• Connectors: 2 XLR/TRS combo, 1 × 3.5 mm stereo, 1 charge port, 1 TRS footswitch, 1 × 12 V DC output
• At just 400 × 275 × 272 mm and 7.6 kg net, the unit fits in a single tote bag alongside a stand

Built for Mobile Entertainers and Event Pros

This model is a smart choice for solo musicians, mobile DJs, fitness instructors, and event organizers who handle ceremonies, cocktail hours, or backyard parties without dependable AC power. Mobile wedding DJs often deploy one unit for the ceremony on a stand, then reposition it as a floor monitor for the reception, still finishing the night with battery to spare. With two units paired via Bluetooth true wireless stereo, you can create a compact stereo system, or place one on a tripod for outdoor events that demand longer throw across a crowd.

Electro-Voice: Decades of Pro-Audio Engineering

Electro-Voice has a legacy of engineering professional loudspeakers for live, installed, and broadcast sound, and the Everse 8 Black breaks ground as the brand's first battery-powered, weatherized portable PA. The amplifier and DSP module were co-developed with Dynacord, EV's sibling under Bosch Security Systems, blending expertise from two pro-audio engineering teams in one portable platform. This robust design meets the same endurance-testing standards as EV's larger tour-grade speakers.
