RCF Evox JMix8 Field Test - With Live Music 

I have a pair of the Evox 8's, the first generation which have 12 inch subs in wood cabinet's and have been using them for about a 1 1/2 year's. I use a Presonus 32r stage box run wirelessly using a router and my iPad and run a full 5 piece rock cover band. This system can kick at 1400 watts a side they can get loud if you push them. I was told that you want to set the subs at about 2 o'clock, not wide open. I also do a duo act with our keyboard player and I just use a di box with my Taylor acoustic and it sounds great! It takes me about 15 minutes to setup our whole system. If the subs are boomy just use a high pass filter on the subs and roll some of it off. Will clean up the muddiness of your mix!

very good point about the height available these, relevant in nearly any pub gig!

Was goood! Thank u soo much! From Hungary Budapest :)

Great video! Thank you, hvala! Dogovorio sam probu u show-room-u u Novom Sadu verujem da ću odmah i kupiti ovaj sistem, + evox j8.

This guy is cool. Sounds excellent and not pretentious. With hair he's got the Bublee look and shaved the young DMB look. That RCF is a bit pricey for me and heavy. Plus they really don't carry that brand around here. Went from Yamaha stagepas 1k (sounds great. Still use for blues band main) to JBL EON ONE MK2 for acoustic gigs. Stagepas is over 50lbs. Was too much in 95 degree heat with stairs, dolly, etc. JBL is lighter. Has battery and on-board digital mixer. Real sub. They all sound similar, it's just a matter of what features one needs for one's own situation. How many trips from the car can I avoid??? That 87A mic sounds good for him. I tried it. Great at home, but live outdoors maybe I didn't know how to dial it in. It's hard to get it all right live when one a "solo" guy. No one to ask so you start to look for subtle clues from the audience. Not the drunk lady yelling for hotel california. The subtle foot tap under the table is the one I watch for. If a majority of folks are moving their feet under the table its sounding good and tips flow. No foot movement. I've screwed something up. I think guy would sound good through anything though.

Thanks Stuart. Great review for a fellow player. Cheers. Robin

Great review. Do you use a separate monitor or can you use jmix8 behind you as monitor, do you get feedback if unit is behind you?

Hello , thank you for very clean explanations.

As always, thx. for the great review. May I ask, if you have tried the electrovoice evolve 50m yet? In your opinion, what's the best sounding system?Thx and greetings from Germany.

Great video .a break down of mixer for performer's would be good as there is no video on RU-vid to show settings

Stunning !!

Tell me this is a paid ad with out telling me it’s paid ad: “the Bose tweeters at the top plays into people’s heads” and the Bose is 6’7” high

Thanks for the info Very helpful thanks

Great video Stuart. How would Yamaha Stagepas 1K compare with this one and HK Audio Polar 12? Thanks.

Great choice of PA bud 👊🏼

I have both Jmix,J8.. Can you share you general MIXER settings on the Jmix8 for Vocals and music..thanx

Can a mixer on rcf sing as well as a separate mixer? I'm wondering about that.

what pedal was you using for the bass drum sound mate ?

Nice review 😁 what pa is better for you? The hk polar or rcf j8mix? Im thinking to buy me 2 systems.. the third option is the Fbt cs1000.. maybe any experience. Thanks

Thank you for the info. Next time could you use a quality digital recorder for the sound test portion? Use the 1/4" monitor, headphone or XLR output and record that since we really can't tell anything from a cell phone recording in mono that isn't designed for high fidelity. Like using a VHS VCR to review HD or 4k movies. That gives us a clean original signal to compare to. Then switch over to the live sound version from the speaker and record it on a decent mic /stereo digital recorder or or use one with it's own mics such as a Tascam Tascam DR-100mk3 (Zoom or others with good mics) placed 5-10 yards away. That Tascam has XLR inputs, 1/4"inputs and and several sets of mics onboard that work quite well. Then we'd be able to really hear what it sounds like vs the source signal.

Hey Friends, RCF Evox 12 or Bose l1 pro 16?

Hello there I have just bought jmix8 but there is one thing I do not like about it-constant hissing noice comming from HF driver... did you have that issue on your unit? Cheers!

Hello friend Thank you for the detailed video I have a question please how do I turn off the mixer and work with the speaker like a regular amplified speaker. Thanks in advance hope there is no mistake in writing this translated

How doze it stack up to the lg maui28 as they have 16 speaker 2 Horne's 2 subs and half the cos

Stuart, when can we see a test on the CA12A

Thanks for a great video mate! Which would you go for between the RCF Jmix8 and the Bose L1? Why? :) I can’t decide

@Stuart Reece, Do you find you can hear yourself ok when not standing in front of it?

Which speaker is best for live band keyboard with singer ? Evolve 30m or RCF EVOX JMIX8? Also which one best for pair stereo ?

Hi ther again...i need some larger speakon cables for these ssystem..please let me.know what type.of speakon connectors this system use?is it 2 pole.or 4 pole.tnx allot

I know you gave a great review of the Bose S1Pro. How would a pair of Bose S1s compare to a single JMIX8?

Hey hey Stuart . I trust you are well. I’m in the market for a system. I’m a Singer/Guitarist/ with drum pad loops in the background. I’ve seen a few of your reviews. According you what is the best column array system that you’ve used?

Should I get this one or should I get the Bose l1 pro 16. Singer songwriter 25 to 50 people.

Hi, how does the sound compare to the Bose S1 Pro for acoustic guitar and vocals?

What pedal are you using for your kick drum

What drum set up do you have
