ELECTRO-VOICE Evolve 50M

The Electro Voice EVOLVE 50M is a professional portable column sound system with built-in mixing console.

The EVOLVE 50M is an innovative solution for a versatile power column system. It includes an eight-channel digital mixing console, built-in studio-quality effects and remote control of all sound, effects and mixing functions via the next-generation Electro-Voice QuickSmart Mobile app (available through the Apple Store and on Google Play). All of this makes it an excellent choice for solo musicians/performers, smaller bands and venues - or any application that needs an easy-to-use, highly portable and lightweight system with exceptional connectivity, control, coverage and performance given its subtle size.

Inverters
The full-frequency column array consists of eight 3.5" neodymium transducers that provide ultra-wide 120° coverage through patented waveguides. The asymmetrical 40° vertical coverage ensures that the sound output is directed to both seated and standing listeners. The 12" subwoofer is housed in a 15mm wood cabinet with a high-efficiency laminar flow design that provides the acoustic performance and rigidity needed. The system and subwoofer are connected by a two-piece symmetrical aluminium spacer bar with internal cable routing and magnetic latch. An advanced Class-D amplifier provides up to 1000 watts of power evenly distributed between the subwoofer and the column transducers. The speakers are protected by a powder-coated solid steel grille. The combination of these elements creates a truly impressive power-to-size ratio in a sleek design that looks as good as it sounds.

The QuickSmart DSP allows navigation of system parameters via a one-button LCD display, as well as multiple signal and input routing options. Basic features include four presets (Music, Live, Speech, Club), a three-band system EQ (low, mid, high), a seven-band graphic EQ (in Mixer mode), five user-programmable presets (Store and Recall settings), phantom power, visual limiter status monitoring, input level and meter controls, and a master volume control for optimizing gain structure. All of the above audio features can also be controlled via the QuickSmart Mobile app. The fully configurable app has an intuitive, easy-to-read user interface and uses Bluetooth* Low Energy (BTLE) technology to set and monitor all parameters of up to six EVOLVE 30M systems simultaneously.

Mix like a pro. The powerful built-in mixing console gives you best-in-class connectivity and control. Developed in collaboration with the world-class team of audio electronics engineers at sibling brand Dynacord, the integrated, fully configurable digital mixing console features multiple inputs (6x Combo XLR / 6.3mm Jack - mic/line inputs), 2x RCA, 1x 3.5mm stereo, 1x Hi-Z instrument input) with professional preamp and mix functions. A range of built-in studio-quality effects (30 presets, including chorus, delay, flange and reverb, via two FX channels) add plenty of tweaking options. High-resolution, low-latency Bluetooth* streaming delivers outstanding results when playing music or accompaniment.

The system includes a speaker array, a two-piece spacer bar, a backpack for carrying the array and bars - all made to make set-up and pack-up quick and hassle-free. In addition, the kit looks amazing.
