ELECTRO-VOICE EVERSE 12

Product overview

The ELECTRO-VOICE EVERSE 12 is a weatherised, battery-powered 12-inch two-way loudspeaker: up to 126 dB, 100° x 60° coverage, a built-in 4-channel digital mixer and Bluetooth audio and control, running 6+ hours at maximum output from its removable 86.4 Wh battery.

Carry it to the rooftop, the beach or the pop-up and play where there is no power. The mixer puts four channels, effects, automatic feedback suppression and ducking on the loudspeaker; two XLR/TRS combo inputs (48 V phantom on INPUT 1, Hi-Z on INPUT 2), a 3.5 mm stereo jack and Bluetooth take microphones, instruments and phones, and a 12 V DC port powers a wireless microphone receiver. With the weatherised input cover fitted the polypropylene enclosure is rated IP43 against splash and light rain. Black or white, with a soft-touch top handle and a side handle.

Battery power for the whole show

The custom high-capacity Li-ion pack is installed at the factory; charge it for 24 hours before first use, then recharging takes 4 hours or less with the power off. Power-saving features and an adjustable auto-standby (default 15 minutes) extend run time, and the pack can be removed with two finger-tab screws for inspection or replacement.

Mix on the box

Each input has a soft key and the MASTER VOL encoder sets levels and opens the menu: MUSIC, LIVE, SPEECH, CLUB and FRFR-GUITAR modes, TRIPOD, KICKBACK and MONITOR locations, subwoofer crossovers, treble / mid / bass, a seven-band PEQ or GEQ, five user presets and a PIN lock. The LCD shows input meters, phantom and Hi-Z flags, ducking, AFS, battery level and Bluetooth status.

Built for weather

Fit the weatherised input cover on battery power and Bluetooth for IP43 splash and light-rain resistance. With mains power or cables connected use the EV rain-resistant cover (accessory). Keep the loudspeaker upright, in kickback or monitor position, never in standing water, salt water or chlorine, and let it dry before removing the cover or battery.
