4 Operation

4.1 Installation and charging of battery pack

The EVERSE 8 comes pre-installed with a high capacity Li-Ion battery pack. Charge the battery

for 24hours before the first use to ensure maximum battery run time and life expectancy.

To charge the battery:

4 Plug the MAINSIN while the battery is installed in the EVERSE 8 .

After the first full charge, the expected battery charge times are as follows:

– 4hours or less with no signal and the power switched off.

– 6hours or less with the power switched on and audio playing at high output levels.

The LCD will display

while the battery is charging with the power switched off. The

LCD will display

when the battery has reached full charge.

Notice!

Battery self-discharge

All Li-Ion batteries experience self-discharge over extended periods (several months). If a

battery sits for an extended period without being charged, the battery may fully discharge. It

may take longer than normal to fully recharge. If this occurs, allow the battery to charge a full

24hours again before using.

Inspect your loudspeaker and battery monthly and recharge the battery. This will help

maintain the batteries run time and extend its useful life.

To remove and reinstall the battery for inspection or replacement:

1. Place the loudspeaker grille side down with the battery door facing you on a flat non-

scratching surface such as a workbench with a rubber mat.

2. Fully loosen the two finger tab screws by turning them counter-clockwise.

Reducing feedback

To reduce feedback:

1. Set the loudspeaker and microphone or instrument according to your performance.

Follow appropriate microphone placement and use practices:

– Do not place the microphone directly in front of the loudspeaker. Refer to the user

manual of your microphone to know the pickup and rejection patterns of your

microphone.

– Avoid placing music stands, tablets, or other large flat objects near the microphone such

that they can cause audio reflections into the microphone.

– Use proper microphone technique when speaking, singing or placing by an instrument to

avoid using excessive input gain. For example, hold the microphone close to your mouth

when performing.

– Engage appropriate input channel PRESET for your application: LOWCUT80Hz,

Adjusting the incoming sound

Caution is advised when adjusting the incoming sound. Usually minor changes are sufficient to

produce the best results in the overall sound.

To adjust the incoming sound:

– Set all EQ controls to 0dB or FLAT.

– Avoid setting the EQ controls to extreme positions.

– Use natural reproduction as a starting point.

EVERSE 8 Input & Mixer operation | en 49

Electro-Voice

User manual

2022-10 | 02 | F.01U.401.530

– Rely on your musically trained ear.

INPUT LEVEL control

The INPUT LEVEL control adjusts the sensitivity of the incoming signals to the internal

operation level of the mixer.

To achieve a good signal input level:

1. Set the MASTER VOL to MUTE.

2. Press the input selection soft key and use the MASTER VOL to set the INPUT LEVEL to

MUTE.

3. Connect the sound source (microphone, instrument, etc) to the selected input.

4. Start the sound source at the highest volume level to be expected. Sing or speak as

loudly as possible directly (close up) into the microphone.

5. While playing the sound source or singing into the microphone:

– Increase the INPUT LEVEL by selecting the input channel using the input selection soft

key and using the MASTER VOL, so that during the loudest part, the CLIP does not show.

Press the input selection soft key again to deselect the input channel.

– Increase the MASTER VOL until you get the required output from the loudspeaker. This is

the basic channel setting.

If further adjustments to the EQ setting of the channel are necessary, perform these steps

again. Changes in the sound shaping section also have an influence on the overall level of the

channel.

48V (INPUT 1 only)

+48V DC phantom power is available on the XLR connector of INPUT1 only. Phantom power

can be used to power certain devices such as DI boxes and condenser microphones (non-

electret). Consult the user manual of your device before using. There is no phantom power on

the TRS connectors. Phantom power is switchable.

Notice!

Switch off phantom power (default) for sources which do not require phantom power such as

dynamic microphones and mixer outputs.

Notice!

Never connect a mobile device to INPUT1 with phantom power activated.

PRESET

The input PRESET adjusts the EQ and compressor settings to provide a starting point for

adjusting the sound for different input types.

COMP control

The COMP control controls the onboard compressor to adjust the input signal processing

during operation. Compressors are available on INPUT1 and INPUT2.

4 Use the COMP control to adjust the compressor threshold and the compression ratio

simultaneously.

Adjusting the COMP control from 0 to 100 will result in the following:

– The gain below the threshold will increase from 0dB to +6dB.

– The compression ratio will increase from 1:1 to 8:1.

– The compressor will reduce the dynamic range of the audio signal proportional to the

compressor setting.

50 en | Input & Mixer operation EVERSE 8

2022-10 | 02 | F.01U.401.530

User manual

Electro-Voice

Once the signal exceeds a certain threshold, the signal gets compressed. Major input level

changes result in minor output level changes. Narrowing the dynamic range often allows for

easier recording or mixing of the audio signal. It is recommended to start with low to

moderate levels of compression (25 - 40) and increase slowly if necessary.

TREBLE/MID/BASS controls

The EQ section of the input channel allows for a broad difference in the shaping of the

incoming audio signal within three frequency bands:

– TREBLE control - provides cymbals and vocals with more treble for a more transparent

sound.

– MID control - provides higher output and reduces acoustical feedback by lowering the

level.

– BASS control - adds more “punch” to the sound of a kick drum or adds “body” to the

vocals.

The FX control is used to set the amount of effect you require on that channel. Using the FX

controls lets you easily assign an effect for musical instruments or vocals.

To determine the required level of effect:

1. Set the controls to minimum.

2. Increase the level individually and gradually until the required sound is achieved.

PAN

The PAN control adjusts the amount of the signal coming out of the stereo L or stereo R

loudspeaker in a stereo setup. The PAN is not engaged for mono (single loudspeaker) setups.

DUCKER

The DUCKER reduces the level of the signal(s) on the other inputs whenever a signal is

detected at the selected MIC/LINE input (INPUT 1 or INPUT 2). If no signal is detected at the

selected MIC/LINE input, the level of the signal(s) on the other inputs will return to the

previous set levels.

The DUCKER is useful to speak over background music:

– When signal is detected on the selected MIC input, the music on the other input channel

will be reduced.

– When signal is no longer detected on the selected MIC input, the music will return to the

previous level.

Engaging the DUCKER

To engage the ducker:

1. Select INPUT1 and/or INPUT2.

2. Adjust the DUCKER level to set the detection threshold for the selected input channel.

When signal is detected on the selected input, the signal on the other inputs will be

reduced by 12dB. Typical values are -10 to -20dB.

The table below describes the DUCKER operation logic. The DUCKER setting is the detection

threshold selected on INPUT1 and/or INPUT2. The ducked channels are the input signals

that are reduced by 12dB.
