ULIMATE POWERED MINI DJ CEREMONY SET UP - EV EVERSE 8 + SENHEISER EW-DX WIRELESS MICROPHONE KIT

In this video I test the ultimate small ceremony-powered set up the ULTIMATE MINI DJ CEREMONY SET UP - EV EVERSE 8 + SENNHEISER EW-DX WIRELESS MICROPHONE KIT. This is a combo unit that I have been waiting to test and find out if it truly works so here it is the final real life test in my warehouse and outside. The Electro Voice Everse * is a powered speaker that is perfect for ceremonies and cocktail hour situations, its powered and its loud with the 400W 8" speaker. The microphones are being powered by the DC out of the speaker in this scenario, and the dual handheld or lav kit is a small space rock solid microphone solution that can be mounted to the top of the speaker.

My Everse arrived last week and I'm also using the EW-D's. Yes, for me the ceremony is generally most stressful because it's just GOT to be right. I usually relax a bit after the ceremony is complete. I also got the Flex stand and it's gorgeous. I also use it for large displays. I run into comb filtering when using two lavaliers...do you run into that? I'm currently using an external mixer so I can duck manually, but I know the Everse has that feature built in. Requires a little work around, but I need to test that. The subwoofer out is also great, in addition to the Bluetooth linking. I'm excited to do that at some point in the future.

[@NukePooch1]

Really digging the EW-D dual receiver and the Chauvet Flex stand... I like this setup. Comb filtering is a given when two mics are near 1 sound source. You're right to keep one low until they speak (generally the groom). I'd be afraid the ducker will audibly cut in/out when someone speaking on the threshold, it's meant for music, not sure about speech. There isn't a subwoofer out on the Everse, it's the same as most EV gear, the output is not affected by any DSP. Also, the bluetooth linking is just for phone audio, it won't pass inputs 1/2. Might be ok for background music only applications.

[@loudandcleartexas906]

​@@NukePooch1wow... If the Bluetooth connection doesn't pass all inputs to a second speaker, that's not good. I guess you'd need to run a cable to it, and that would work, right?

[@NukePooch1]

@@loudandcleartexas906 Yep, wired is the way to go. Bluetooth will only pass the BT signal, might be ok for background music only applications, as long as the source device was kept close/in the middle of the two speakers... Since BT is a consumer standard, it shouldn't be relied on for gigs. Run XLR cable, or use a proper wireless setup.

[@ozprod371]

Could two mics be powered from this unit? 1 from the 12v output and the other from the USB-C power via an adapter cable?

Tip: Get the Everse 8 tray. So convenient and incredibly easy to use. The tray is a game changer cause it comes with the DC power cord to power the mic receiver and the speaker simultaneously…total wireless ceremony set up in minutes

[@djpaulcole]

Nice job. Thanks for the info. It helped

Same thing with my JBL Compact, all battery powered from the speaker, including (2) microphones. Beach/woods ceremony, no problem!

[@Jason_Jani]

Thank you for sharing! IMO the Everse sounds better then the JBL unit, and I am not knocking it in any way, just prefer the sound out of the everse for me.

[@MrDJMikieMike]

Great Video!!

[@Jason_Jani]

Thanks!

[@jmfbabyj]

Can’t wait to get my White & Black Pair In ….

[@DJEddieKing]

The JBL EON 1 compact does the same thing. You can purchase the cable that will power the EW 100 g-4. That has been my ceremony system for the past year.

[@roberthasslocher7086]

Jason, I was literally about to buy the $70 Everse top plate, and I saw your foam block and gaff tape, and I was like....bet.

[@Jason_Jani]

I would buy the plate, i do d it just hasn’t arrived. The foam and tape is the good amateur way to do it, i just couldn’t wait lol

Great Video 😂

[@chriswerner6557]

Bluetooth the two speakers is amazing. It doesn't interfere with the Bluetooth music sorce playing at the same time does it? Great Video, you ROCK!!!

[@thriftyoutdoors]

Thanks for sharing, have you used 2 of the everse together and did it share the vocals across both ?😊

[@djmrvip]

New guys please consider 2 things: 1)use the aux cord vs. relying on Bluetooth once the guests arrive is sketch. Secondly having 2 handhelds not ideal. Most readers will want a lapel. But this is similar to what we use and works great

[@Jason_Jani]

This is just another solution for people. Doesnt have to be handhelds, I used handhelds for the video. We use lavs, for the purpose of a rock solid and small ceremony system this a solution. For events that do not require a quick quick powered solution I use a different system.

[@bentesla8203]

Thanks for sharing this informative video and for all the work you do to give back and help others. I just had one quick question; typically a mixer would be used here with a ceremony, so I was just curious one you would handle feed back in case a mic user went too close to the speaker or how you would adjust for soft spoken users speakers at the event (without a mixer, or is there a way to get one into this wireless setup)?

[@Jason_Jani]

I do handle it and supress it with the touch mix 8 there are a few videos here on the channel

[@aiinvestor3737]

Jason can you use that two microphone to wirelessly connect to a second ev 8 speaker

[@cloudthedj]

Got this in November and by far my go to for Ceremony Cocktail. Lost in this is the EV app, allowing eq control and muting channels remotely from the app when you need to.

[@Jason_Jani]

Super fresh - love it

[@brianfox6352]

Thanks! What a great video! Jason, do you have any idea what the range is like when connecting one Verse to another via blue tooth. The ability to have them connect like for two satellite areas is invaluable. Just wondering how far that blue tooth connection will from from one speaker to another. Cheers, GUNZ

[@Jason_Jani]

Honestly i haven’t tried just yet to test the distance.

[@louprimo6062]

I would not put a microphone receiver on top of a speaker exposed to direct sunlight. I would use a small roadcase with a glide tray. Permanently install the receiver into the road case and you’re good to go and can set everything up in under 5 minutes. I also keep my halo bolt power supply and a small mixer inside my ceremony case so if anything fails I have a backup in place.

[@aiinvestor3737]

Jason what is a good dual wireless microphone that would work for that system that not too expensive l, something in 300-500 dollars range? Thanks

[@djshaughnyd1]

Awesome. Does it have the ability to mute/unmute quickly the single mic channel ?I usually mic up the groom with a lav, but I don’t turn up the volume until they get up there and the music stops to avoid.. well you know. 😅

[@Jason_Jani]

If you are using the ev app yes

[@georgchekinoff239]

Hi! The mobile speaker management application Everse 8 - EV QuickSmart version 2.4.5 with new firmware 1.1.7 was released in December 2023. Are there any differences from the previous version?

[@BoomBaptist]

Hey Jason, thanks so much for motivating me to get this setup! The link to the DC cable to power the Sennheisers is now a new product. Any chance you have a new link you can share or at least the specifications so I can producer the right cable? Thanks homie!

[@LEVIJmusic]

Did you ever find a cable that works? I have thois exact setup and bought the cable from the video but they haven't worked for me..

[@djjflipp]

Great video! Quick question does the connector that comes with the EV tray fit on the Shure BLX288 or do I need to order the same connector on Amazon from your link? Thanks in advance.

[@djlev1734]

Thanks for the great video Jason! If you had easy access to electric at the ceremony location would you still use this setup, or use an external mixer with the setup? Thanks for your time!

[@Jason_Jani]

Good question i guess it would depend on time and location. Obviously the external mixer gives you a ton more control and ability that would take up space and need power.

[@djlev1734]

@@Jason_Jani thank you!!!

[@donnycollins1797]

I still use a Yamaha MG12 external mixer powered with a Jackery 240 because I like the extra control. I love having a gain control and pre fader listen to see exactly how much signal is coming in from the mic and being able to adjust it. I love light compression on the mics to keep the voice nice and even, and I love instant access to every control. The low cut filter is also great. But the Everse has all that, which is amazing. I’m often asked to make announcements at the end of the ceremony, so that’s easy, as well as plugging in additional readers or vocalists. It is more to setup and connect, but flexibility it great. I’m excited to get more familiar with the Everse and maybe use the mixer on it more. Super convenient and incredible features.

[@djlev1734]

@@donnycollins1797 me too, thanks!

[@pastormichaelnewsom]

Dumb question. I was looking at getting the everse 8, with the Sennheiser EW-DX MKE 2-835-S SET Dual-Channel Digital Combo Wireless System, but it shows 12v/1A power input. I thought the everse is 500mA? I am trying to make sure I get the right gear (for ceremony audio).

[@algeebabee]

So I have the cable for the Everse to a G4, is that same cable compatible from the Everse to the EW DX?

[@djwardlowentertainment9098]

how is the equalizer as far as tuning on the speaker itself? Normally i use a mixer or a Denon Prime Go and for the wireless Mics i use a little invertor and battery powered speakers.

[@Jason_Jani]

Its fair is my honest review.

[@patrickbutlerentertainment5020]

Great video but if you want to do something even easier and cleaner, get rid of that mic setup and buy the Sennheiser AVX handheld or the AVX lapel system (not the XSW system). All battery powered and no cables. I've been using it for years with no issues. Looks super clean and incredibly reliable. I recommend the Sennheiser AVX-835 kit. The 835 mic element sounds amazing with the Everse 8.

[@Jason_Jani]

For us they have to be digital mics in the Northeast.

[@djroyal414]

awesome set up!!! Might look into upgrading my current system to this one minus the $2K mic 🎤

[@Jason_Jani]

Mics are important !

[@DjDiamondLee]

Love the suggestion the microphone because I need a dual mic system.. Do you guys recommended any other suggestion under $1000 for dual mic?

[@Jason_Jani]

I honestly dont. The mics are the one thing I really dont skimp on, I feel like this is the one area where you get wht you pay for, and it is super important you have something that is legit bulletproof.

[@Intelp41969]

Is this speaker better than the JBL Partybox 110??

[@dreamdaycharleston]

Do you just keep mic mounted on top in the bag? Or use something else to transport the receiver and transmitters?

[@NukePooch1]

The bag is meant to hold the whole thing, so once he gets the mounting trays, the speaker and mics will be completely mounted, wired and ready to go when pulled out of the bag.

[@Jason_Jani]

Yes separate in the bag

[@gwhiggins89]

Would love to see this compared to a Maui 5 Go or something similar

[@gwhiggins89]

Wait…I just got to the bit where the speaker powers the mics! Sold!

[@Jason_Jani]

Haha the Maui is bigger - and kinda apples to oranges bc of it being more of a array style

[@NukePooch1]

Try JBL EON One MK2. Louder and better sounding than either Everse or Maui 5 Go, also has USB outs to power the mics...Of course it's a lot more expensive, larger, and heavier. I traded my 2 Mauis in on 2 JBLs...Love them for ceremonies and cocktails.

[@MrDJMikieMike]

I did a Ceremony in a Cow Pasture

[@ondieflorano623]

it will be a cleaner setup if you use a wirless transmitter receiver adapter its also rechargeable so you dont have to put anything on top of the speaker

[@Jason_Jani]

That is the receiver for the microphones man,

[@georgchekinoff239]

Hello. There is one question that haunts me! While charging the speaker, which is first turned off by the on/off toggle switch, sometimes after 10-15 minutes the LCD display may blink, not always and not often, but sometimes it happens until it is fully charged. You may not notice it right away. But I noticed and I don't understand if it should be like this or if it's not normal. The speaker is brand new. It was bought 1.5 months ago. But this phenomenon manifested itself immediately. The first time, it was about 75% charged. I was charging at 100% and accidentally saw this. There were no such LCD speakers before, so I do not know if this is normal for them or not. And what about your column and what about others who will read this question? Is this blinking happening? I wanted to find out. Thank you.

[@Burnwashbros]

I just bought a pair. I can get audio music to come out both speakers as stereo. But the microphone is only coming out of the speaker the mic is plugged into. Very frustrating and disappointing. I can figure out how to fix this. Does anyone know how to get microphone to come out of both paired speakers?

[@NickChiodo]

From what I've seen the speaker linking seems to be the bluetooth channel only. You would have to get a wireless transmitter/ receiver for the sound from the mic channel. I know it's unfortunate and that's the reason I got a pair as well. DJ Rachel has a good video if you wish to go that route.

[@noahgauthier2909]

Have you had any problems yet with powering the EW-DX from the Everse 8? It looks like the 12 V DC power output on the Everse only has 500 mA/ 0.5 amperes and the EW-DX specs says it needs ≤ 1 Amp Input current

​@@Jason_Jani great news, I have an everse 8 and my Sennheiser EW-DX just got delivered, I was told that it wouldn't work , by the techs from the popular website i bought it from, but perhaps they "Have to say that" and not recommend it for liability reasons.

@@Jason_Jani I think he's referring to when you link the speakers via bluetooth with the mics plugged directly in to one - through my experience, when using mics, they have to be wired to the second speaker (the line signal is localized and cannot be transmitted to the second speaker wirelessly)
