RCF Evox JMix8 Review

Somebody get me help. I cannot stop buying gear...

I'm not mad cause..these are fun. Had my eye on them for a few months and decided to pick up a pair of RCF Evox JMix8's. I bought 2 of them with the intention of using these for weddings.

I’m here 3 years later!! And I’m waiting for my order the one J8mix and one J8 of ZZounds jeje.. I’m so very exited 😅

Had been using the J8s for small to medium sized wedding venues, but noticed the sound drops off quickly by the end of the dance floor in bigger rooms. Also, if you are doing something like a grand march and need your mic to cut through louder music the mic gets muddy quick on the J8s. Smaller shows they are great with way more low end than even the Evolve 50s, but the game changers for column rays are the Evox 12s. I use those in larger rooms and never need another sub to fill out the sound.

Funny, I think these are the best looking column speakers out there. I like that it still looks like a utility rather than architecture.

The RCF app is pretty decent. It has a simple look but it really lets you access every feature. Much faster and easier to make on the fly adjustments. Use the app and skip the rear panel/LCD.

I love the J8 and Jmix. Use them every week. I hear nuances in songs I never hear running just the qsc k12's. Great video!

[demetrischaralambous]

Not perfect, but a good choice for something loud and practical. Mainly used for live solo concerts. Had to cut 0.9 at 2Khz at the master EQ, cause they sounded a bit harsh because of the 8x2" top speakers. But all good... They get the job done !! ;)

i have the rcf covers with wheels ....trust me 300$ is alot for covers but worth it when i dont have to carry them every gig i do each weekend ....one weekend of work pays for the covers ....having a case with wheels on speakers and dj mixer is so much better ...i love my j8's

[nexttvc]

I love these and doing my most job done.

😹You’re killing me with that English/British accent Aaron, but thanks for the shout! I’m still leaning towards the EV 50’s. Now...time for a nice cup of tea and a cucumber sandwich.

I Had JMIX8 bundle since may 2018 till april this year (2022). Had around 50-60 gigs with them and they earned me well.
But finally, I replaced them with HK Audio Polar 12.

1) Evox is all plastic and the bass coming from the woofer was plastic-bunchy and did not sound very good in many rooms.
2) Upper drivers are tiny and they do not have much sound pressure, so in larger rooms they rather sound bad as they scream..
3) I never used the JMIX mixer, only in some wedding ceremonies;
4) Yes, they look a bit ugly;
5) Poles - as you use them much then they finally start getting loose;

Pros:
- very easy to carry & handle, as they are lightweight.
- Sound is very good at mid levels and smaller rooms.
- fit almost anywhere, any car or back seat etc;

These bags will be dead by the end of the year :) The mixer... I barely used it.

UPDATE: I did a software update on the speakers this morning and it’s running much better with the app. I still don’t like the UI, but at least I have more control

[djreyg]

What are your optimal settings for your 30ms? Would love to see a video on that with your perspective. Since you mentioned clipping in this video.

[mcrobfamily]

Nice - I read the damn directions. Still couldn't figure out why I had no sound until I watched your vid! Turn up the Master on the sub lunkhead! Thanks!

[omarsaifofficial]

Hi Aaron, loved yr review am in verge of getting one column array speaker. I am vocalist, singing along with acoustic guitar and playing some music while a break and to get crowd dance. I was looking for EV30M but after watching yr video am with RCF J8 mix, I need loud and clean flat signal. which one you would suggest.

[nicolasheinemusic]

Hey Aaron! The Speakon cable - is it for sound or power? Cause either way - you need a second cable to go up there right?

... and I would like to put a light-fx on that bar, which also needs XLR and power cable to go up there. So I'm gonna need 4 cables to go up there. I don't think this would look good, so I would need to put a slip cover over it. at the moment my subs are big enough, so I can put a power-strip under the slip cover and a nice looking LED light, which also needs power... this speaker does not look like there is a lot of room for a power strip or cable management or an LED light to make it look good...

Why can't they just power the upper speaker through that bar AND get the signal through there, too? Can't be too difficult to put 2 cables through this bar can it?

[ArocEntertainment]

Great video, I too purchase (2) Jmix 8s for the same reason. Must be a “Aaron” thing.

[jerrytaukamo]

Hmmmm no more wood cabinet rubber strap for the speaker.i have the 2014 evox 8 amazing

[madness]

Great review. Regarding running 2 EV Evolve 30Ms together via Bluetooth, are you saying that you can run both speakers as one larger PA with double the inputs using the EV Evolve app? Thanks so much for your info.

[djkarlthomas]

Love the Evox8. And yes I am from across the pond….good attempt at the accent hahaha

[Ericjamesmusic]

So it looks like it's been 3 years since this video. This is my "dream" PA system currently. Between that and the EV 50M. I'm an acoustic performer from Southern Minnesota looking to upgrade my sound. Also, do you still feel the same way about this speaker?
