RCF EVOX JMIX8 Active Array System with Digital Mixer, DSP

RCF EVOX JMIX8: 1400W Portable Column PA for DJs and Live Events

The RCF EVOX JMIX8 is an active two way array music system that packs a full PA and digital mixer into one sleek, portable rig. A high-power 1400 watt 2-way amplifier (700 W RMS) drives a tight, punchy 12 inch woofer with 2.5 inch voice coil and an ultra-compact column of 8 x 2 inch full-range drivers, delivering up to 128 dB max SPL with a wide 120° x 30° coverage pattern from 40 Hz to 20 kHz. The result is a smooth, coherent sound field that keeps vocals, tracks, and instruments clear from the front row to the back of the room.

At the heart of the system is an 8-input digital mixer powered by RCF's Z.CORE DSP. You get 4 mic inputs with remote controlled, storable gain and +48V phantom power, mono and stereo line inputs, and a dedicated Hi-Z input for guitar or bass. Each channel features a 3-band EQ with high and low shelving plus a sweepable mid band, variable low-cut from 20 Hz to 1000 Hz, and access to RCF compressors, internal MultiFX, and send effects. High-resolution 24-bit A/D-D/A at 48 kHz and 32-bit floating point signal processing provide a wide 108 dB dynamic range for clean, detailed mixes.

System control is streamlined from the front panel with dedicated INPUT, OUTPUT, HOME, SYSTEM, MFX, and FX buttons and an LCD display, or wirelessly via the RCF EVOX App for iOS and Android. Over Bluetooth, you can stream audio and adjust mixer parameters on the fly, including the 7-band graphic EQ on the main mix and AUX send, compressors, FX levels, and routing. Main and AUX XLR outputs make it easy to feed additional speakers, monitor wedges, or zones when you need to expand your system.

Built from tough PP composite with a protective steel grille, the EVOX JMIX8 is engineered for real-world work. The subwoofer cabinet remains compact at 623 x 400 x 460 mm and 22.2 kg (48.94 lbs), with a top handle plus support for an optional trolley-integrated cover so the column, pole, and cables travel as one neat package. A threaded M20 pole mount on the sub keeps the array stable, while the column's progressive curvature maintains even coverage in tight bars, ballrooms, and event spaces.

Real-World Applications and Sound Roles:

• Primary PA for mobile DJs and MCs needing fast, clean setup and teardown.
• Compact front-of-house system for acoustic duos, small bands, and worship teams.
• Elegant, low-footprint PA for weddings, corporate events, and presentations.
• Flexible column system for DJ plus live instrument hybrids using the onboard mixer and Hi-Z input.
• Expandable satellite or side-fill when paired with additional RCF EVOX J systems in larger rooms.
• Travel-friendly column PA for Chicago DJs and event companies working clubs, lofts, and pop-up venues.

Where the RCF EVOX JMIX8 Excels

• Fast Load-Ins: Integrated top handle, compact sub cabinet, and trolley-ready design let you roll a full PA and mixer into clubs, banquet halls, and ballrooms in a single trip.
• Right-Sized Footprint: The sub enclosure (623 x 400 x 460 mm) and slim column keep stage space clear for performers while still projecting cleanly over a full dance floor.
• All-Night Coverage: The 8 x 2 inch full-range array and 12 inch woofer with FiRPHASE processing maintain clarity and punch for long sets without listener fatigue.
• Road-Ready Build: A PP composite cabinet, steel grille, and threaded M20 pole mount provide a rugged platform that holds up to daily transport and tight event schedules.
• Clean Presentation: The slim column and unobtrusive sub look polished on camera and under room uplights, with both black and white finishes available to match the venue.

• Flexible Routing: Main and AUX XLR outputs, plus a dedicated AUX send and FX send, make it simple to feed extra speakers, monitors, or a recording device.
• Stable Footing: The M20 threaded pole and wide sub base keep the column solid on carpet, risers, and uneven floors often found in real-world venues.
• Built for Chicago DJs: Quick setup, Bluetooth control, and a powerful 1400 W amplifier help mobile DJs turn over rooms quickly and keep the dance floor energized all night.

Control Modes for RCF EVOX JMIX8

The EVOX JMIX8 is designed so you can manage the full system from either the front panel or your smartphone/tablet. The main encoder and dedicated INPUT, OUTPUT, HOME, SYSTEM, MFX, FX buttons give direct access to all key pages on the LCD, while the RCF EVOX App mirrors those controls over Bluetooth for remote operation.

• Input Channel Processing: Each input channel offers a 3-band EQ (high and low shelving plus a sweepable mid band), variable low cut from 20 Hz to 1000 Hz, and access to RCF compressors on up to four mono channels (with six presets). This lets you tighten vocals, tame peaks, and shape instruments directly on the JMIX8.
• Mic, Line, and Hi-Z Control: Four mic inputs feature remote controlled, storable gain with +48V phantom power for condensers. Additional mono and stereo line inputs plus a dedicated Hi-Z input handle keys, media players, and instruments without a separate DI.
• FX and MultiFX Management: A dedicated FX POST send feeds the onboard effects engine, while a MultiFX insert provides extra processing options. You can adjust FX levels and types from the panel or EVOX app, keeping reverb, delay, and guitar amp simulations under tight control.
• Main and AUX Bus Shaping: The main mix and AUX send each include a 7-band graphic EQ so you can compensate for room acoustics, tame feedback-prone frequencies, or tailor a wedge or zone feed without extra processors.
• Output and Level Management: The power module includes Volume, Boost, and Mic/Line controls, plus protection via thermal and RMS limiters and a soft limiter for clean limiting at high SPL. Main and AUX outputs operate at professional levels (up to 19 dBu) with low output impedance for reliable long cable runs.
• USB and Footswitch Integration: A USB connection supports 2-track playback, while the footswitch input gives performers hands-free control over assigned mixer functions, ideal for solo musicians running the JMIX8 from on stage.
• EVOX App Remote Control: Over Bluetooth, the EVOX app for iOS and Android provides full access to channel gains, EQ, FX, routing, and overall levels, so DJs and engineers can fine-tune the mix from the audience perspective without leaving the crowd.

Z.CORE DSP Mixer Built for Modern Gigs

The EVOX JMIX8 is more than a powered speaker stack; it is a complete digital mixing hub built around RCF's Z.CORE DSP. With 8 processing channels, 32-bit floating point signal processing, and 24-bit conversion at 48 kHz, the mixer preserves transient detail and headroom while applying EQ, dynamics, and effects with precision.

Four mic inputs with remote controlled, storable gain and +48V phantom power cover lead vocal, wireless mics, and podium channels. Additional mono and stereo line inputs plus a Hi-Z instrument input let guitarists or bass players plug straight in and use the onboard amp simulations and MultiFX. A dedicated 7-band graphic EQ on both the main mix and AUX send gives you room-control tools normally found in larger consoles.

FiRPHASE Precision and Column Coverage

RCF's proprietary FiRPHASE processing is engineered to deliver a linear, coherent response that translates as a natural listening experience for every seat. By carefully designing the FIR filters for the EVOX JMIX8, RCF achieves an essentially 0° phase response across the operating band while maintaining minimal latency in the system.

The vertical column of 8 x 2 inch full-range drivers is progressively shaped to create a 120° horizontal by 30° vertical coverage pattern. This configuration keeps the sound focused on the audience area, minimizing ceiling and floor reflections, and helping spoken word, vocals, and tracks stay intelligible in reflective rooms. Paired with the 12 inch high-excursion woofer, the EVOX JMIX8 extends smoothly into the low end for a quick, precise punch that supports both live music and DJ program material.

Portable Design, Real-World Deployment

The EVOX JMIX8 is built to move. The PP composite cabinet and steel grille keep weight down to about 22.2 kg (48.94 lbs), while the form factor is optimized for easy transport. A top handle on the sub and compatibility with an optional trolley-integrated cover allow the entire system to be rolled between vehicle and venue with minimal effort, even when navigating elevators and loading docks.

On site, deployment is straightforward: screw the included pole into the M20 threaded socket on the subwoofer, mount the column, connect the Speakon link between sub and top, and apply AC power via the VDE mains connector. With dimensions of 623 mm height, 400 mm width, and 460 mm depth for the sub and carefully matched shipping packaging, the EVOX JMIX8 is equally at home in touring vans, box trucks, and production company inventories.

Flexible I/O for DJs, Bands, and Corporate Events

Connection flexibility is a core strength of the EVOX JMIX8. Balanced XLR and jack inputs accept microphones, DJ mixers, media players, and playback devices, while main and AUX XLR outputs extend the system to additional EVOX stacks, powered speakers, or recording interfaces. The AUX send can be configured pre or post fader and paired with the AUX EQ to drive a dedicated monitor mix or a separate room zone from the same compact rig.

Built-in Bluetooth audio plus the RCF EVOX App streamline music playback and remote adjustments during events. Whether you are a DJ needing walk-in music and announcements, a small band running in-ear monitors from the AUX bus, or a corporate AV tech handling lavalier mics and laptop audio, the EVOX JMIX8 provides the routing and processing tools needed without extra outboard gear.

How to Deploy RCF EVOX JMIX8 in the Field

Start by placing the EVOX JMIX8 subwoofer on the floor in front of or beside the performance area, leaving enough space for the column to project over the audience. Screw the support pole into the M20 threaded mount on top of the subwoofer, then seat the column securely on the pole and connect the Speakon cable between sub and array. Aim the column so that the listening area falls within its 120° horizontal by 30° vertical coverage window.

Next, wire your sources into the 8-input digital mixer: vocal mics into the mic inputs, instruments into the mono line or Hi-Z input, and playback devices or DJ controllers into the stereo line channels. Use the channel 3-band EQ and low-cut filters to shape each source, and assign reverb, delay, and other effects via the FX send as needed. If you require a monitor or second zone, send it from the AUX bus and tailor the response with the AUX graphic EQ.

Once levels are set, use the HOME, INPUT, and OUTPUT pages, or the RCF EVOX App, to fine-tune the main mix and overall tone with the 7-band graphic EQ. The thermal and RMS protections, along with the soft limiter, help keep the system safe when running close to maximum level, as long as you stay within the recommended operating conditions. For larger rooms, take the main XLR output to feed additional EVOX systems or powered speakers while letting the JMIX8 remain the control center.

Deploy one or more EVOX JMIX8 systems as your portable "mixer and PA in one", giving Chicago DJs, bands, and event techs a repeatable setup that stays consistent night after night.
