Win a weatherised, battery‑powered portable PA with Bluetooth audio control in this SOS competition, a prize worth $999£1050. Enter to win!
Electro-Voice’s story goes back almost as long as the history of amplified sound. Founded almost a century ago, in 1927, their very earliest products were microphones and PA systems — and they’ve remained at the forefront of those markets ever since.
For this month’s exclusive SOS competition, we’ve teamed up with E-V to offer you the chance to win one of their latest portable PA solutions: the Everse 12 weatherised, battery‑powered active loudspeaker with Bluetooth audio and control.
The Prize
A two-way speaker, the Everse 12 incorporates the latest developments in driver efficiency, digital signal processing and Class‑D amplification technology to deliver high-performance sound along with maximum portability. A flexible input stage can accommodate up to two mic/line sources plus an additional stereo source (via either mini-jack or a Bluetooth stream), while a mix output XLR can send a blend of those signals downstream to another device. The internal mixing and processing is taken care of by a DSP module designed by E-V’s sister company Dynacord, and includes effects, EQ, compression and an anti-feedback suppressor. This digital processing can be remotely controlled using a phone or tablet via Bluetooth, and the Everse 12 usefully includes a USB‑C port for keeping your mobile devices charged up.
Impressively, this full-size PA also incorporates a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which can power the speaker for up to six hours at high volume, or a remarkable 12 hours at more modest levels. And for maximum convenience, it even includes a 12V DC power output, designed to power an E-V RE3 or RE300 wireless receiver, for use with wireless microphones.
Finally, the Everse 12’s IP43 rating means it’s resistant to light rain and puddle splashes, so it’ll keep going even if the weather turns. Check out this video overview of the Everse 12's features:
