Electro-Voice Evolve 50M Portable Column Speaker System - 1000W (Black) - Wireless Connectivity

Electro-Voice is expanding its industry-leading EVOLVE series with the launch of the EVOLVE 50M column loudspeaker system. The EVOLVE 50M features ElectroVoice’s new QuickSmart Link digital audio and control technology, an onboard mixer, DSP, and effects all combined within the sleek EVOLVE 50 format. The EVOLVE 50M is the perfect choice for bands or musicians, AV rental companies, DJs, and any application where true professional audio performance is required in a super-compact and portable package.

Excellent Engineering

The EVOLVE 50M combines state-of-the-art industrial design, superior Electro-Voice-engineered components, and premium materials to deliver best-in-class sound quality, power, and reliability. The full-range column array and its eight lightweight 3.5-inch neodymium drivers provide ultra-wide, full-bandwidth 120 degree coverage via proprietary waveguides, array-formed 40 degree asymmetrical vertical coverage ensures acoustic output is directed toward both sitting and standing audience members. The array enclosure is constructed from a durable composite material and incorporates an ergonomic aluminum handle. A 12-inch 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 aluminum pole with internal wiring and magnetically assisted latching. The speakers are protected by a black powder-coated 18-gauge steel grille, and an array and pole carry case is included. An advanced Class-D amplifier provides up to 1000 W of power.

Customizable

Equipped with the most comprehensive and user-friendly feature set of any column system on the market today, the EVOLVE 50M’s ‘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, 4x XLR and TRS combo mic and line inputs, 1x XLR and TRS combo stereo line input, 1x RCA, 1x 3.5 mm stereo, 1x Hi-Z instrument input) with professional-grade preamps and mixed functions. 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. All of the above help to reduce load-in/out and setup/teardown time - and on-stage clutter - by minimizing the need for external equipment such as a mixer and effects pedals.

Connectivity

New from Electro-Voice, QuickSmart Link makes it 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 and control connection, pair both systems to a single mobile device via the QuickSmart Mobile app available via the Apple App Store and on Google Play, 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.

Control Your Sound

The EVOLVE 50M’s control panel features ElectroVoice’s powerful QuickSmart DSP, which allows the navigation and adjustment of all audio, effects, and mix functions via an LCD with single-knob control or via the QuickSmart Mobile app, as well as multiple options for signal routing and inputs.
