Product Description

The Benchmark for Portable Column Systems

The EVOLVE 50M Black joins the EVOLVE 50 and EVOLVE 30M in the award-winning EVOLVE series, globally recognised as the benchmark for performance in column systems. Superior Electro-Voice-engineered components and premium materials deliver best-in-class sound quality, power, and reliability.

Wide, Even Coverage

The full-range column array and its eight lightweight 3.5″ neodymium drivers provide ultra-wide, full-bandwidth 120° coverage via proprietary waveguides. Array-formed 40° asymmetrical vertical coverage ensures acoustic output is directed towards both sitting and standing audience members – no listener is left out.

Integrated 8-Channel Digital Mixer

Equipped with the most comprehensive and user-friendly feature set of any column system on the market today, the “M” designation refers to its integrated, fully featured, fully configurable eight-channel digital mixer. Developed in collaboration with the world-class audio electronics engineering team at Electro-Voice’s sibling brand Dynacord, the mixer has multiple inputs with professional-grade preamps and mix functions.

Inputs and Connectivity:

• 4x XLR/TRS Combo Jack Line/Mic Input

• 1x 1/4″ TRS HI-Z Input (for instruments)

• 2x XLR/TRS Combo Jack for Stereo Line Input

• 1x Stereo RCA Input

• 1x 3.5mm Stereo Input

• 1x Wireless Stereo Bluetooth® Audio Input

• 1x 1/4″ Foot Switch Input

• 1x XLR MIX OUT Output

• 1x XLR AUX OUT Output

• 1x RJ45 QuickSmart-Link Connector

High-resolution, low-latency Bluetooth® streaming ensures excellent results for music playback or accompaniment. Independent channel aux sends and a foot switch input are also included, and a range of effects (30 presets, including chorus, delay, flange, and reverb, via two FX channels) add a myriad of options for musicians to fine-tune their tone.

QuickSmart Link – Easily Expand Your PA

New from Electro-Voice, QuickSmart Link makes it incredibly easy to combine two EVOLVE 50Ms for use together with larger bands or gigs needing more inputs. Simply link the systems together via an Ethernet cable to create an uncompressed digital audio/control connection, pair both systems to a single mobile device via the QuickSmart Mobile app, and get full mix control of both systems.

For applications requiring fewer inputs but still requiring a mixer and stereo output, the EVOLVE 50M can be matched with an EVOLVE 50 via the MIX OUT XLR connector.

Wireless Control & Monitoring

Use the Electro-Voice QuickSmart Mobile app (available via the Apple App Store and Google Play) to adjust all audio, effects, and mix functions via your phone or tablet. All of the above help to reduce load-in/out and setup/teardown time – and on-stage clutter – by minimising the need for external equipment such as a mixer and effects pedals.

Premium Construction

The array enclosure is constructed from a durable composite material and incorporates an ergonomic aluminium handle. A 12″ subwoofer is housed in a 15 mm wood enclosure with a high-efficiency laminar-flow vent design, for enhanced rigidity and acoustical performance. The array and sub are connected via a symmetrical aluminium pole with internal wiring and magnetically assisted latching. The speakers are protected by a black powder-coated 18-gauge steel grille, and an array/pole carry case is included.

An advanced Class-D amplifier provides up to 1000 W of power (500W LF + 500W HF), with a crossover frequency of 200 Hz.
