Electro-Voice Everse 8 MOD / HACK

[@johnclute3058]

That was a lot of work for something that is easier to fix. Different DC voltages use different size connectors.Since this is a 12vdc output it uses a 5.5mm x 2.5mm jack. The most common size you are mentioning is the 5.5mm x 2.1mm which is the standard size for 9vdc guitar pedals and CCTV systems. Adapters are available to convert 5.5mm x 2.5mm to 5.5mm x 2.1mm. I'm not sure where you are getting the 5.6mm measurement from but I know the jack is 5.5mm x 2.5mm and I'm using just such an adapter for my Everse 8 without any problems.

Its a 5.6mm ad stated in the manual.

[@johnclute3058]

@@djsupafly1 It may state 5.6mm in the manual (I believe that is a typo) but mine measures out for a 5.5mm barrel and 5.5mm cables fit snug and work great. Have had zero problems with using the 5.5mm x 2.5mm cables. Also, the cable that came with the tray fits all my 2.5mm jacks with no problems and that's why I believe it's a typo in the manual.

@@johnclute3058 I've ordered a few 5.5mm cables and have had issues with all of them.

[@johnclute3058]

@@djsupafly1 I don't know what to tell you. I'm currently using a 5.5mm x 2.5mm to 5.5mm x 2.1mm right angle adapter with a 5.5mm x 2.1mm cable right now and it works perfectly fine. I have 4 other cables and they all work fine. I bought my adapters and cables from Amazon and one from eBay so they're not expensive brand name items. Again, I don't know why all mine work and yours don't!

@@djsupafly1 I should also state that your way works fine it just takes a little work. I would say to anyone reading this thread to first check and see if a 5.5mm x 2.5mm cable or adapter will work for you and if it doesn't then do the mod as shown in the video.

DC POWER OUT - DC power output jack for use with the 5.5 mm outer diameter and 2.5 mm inner diameter DC power cable included with the EVERSE-TRAY accessory. The DC POWER OUT jack is capable of powering a wireless microphone receiver which uses a center pin positive polarity and draws 500mA or less at 12 Volts DC, such as the Electro- Voice RE3 or R300 wireless microphone receiver.

[@djsupafly1]

Question, have you tried a 5.5mm outer and 2.5mm inner cable on your everse?

[@elliotchocano9374]

just reposting the manual to help others so they don't have to download it. @@djsupafly1

[@christopherschirmer7342]

what size is the DC power cable that plugs into the RE3?!

[@elliotchocano9374]

@@djsupafly1 yes I've used the one it came with.

[@seratogeek8608]

Great work! It's hard to find the 5.6mm into 5.5mm cables.

Hello again. I live in Russia. There is no one to ask. The battery life of my Everse 8 with all three channels at the same time: microphone, guitar, soundtracks at high volume lasts less than 3 hours. Does anyone have such a result? Are 6 and 12 o'clock indicated for one channel or for all three?

[@zengxx820]

It’s now 5.5mmx x 2.5mm.

[@Elniniss]

Wouldn’t it be easier to cut half of each cable and solder them together?

[@djsupafly1]

There is no 5.6mm cable available. These are the tools I had on hand.

[@Realdjheisenberg]

Can’t you just buy a 5.5 to 5.6 adaptor?

[@djsupafly1]

if I could find one online.

У меня тоже на 3 часа при высокой громкости ! Нашли выход из положения ? И сколько заряжается от 220 вольт ? Мой Everse 8 до 100 % за 2.5 часа. Вот даже короткое видео на 3.5 минуты всего процесса зарядки снял kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmGsZ4WeesyejLM подключал к портативной зарядной станции Allpowers S200 и засекал по таймеру на телефоне.
