EVOLVE 50M | Portable Column System (Black)

Available in black or white finishes, 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.

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.

MIX IT UP! INTEGRATED MIXER
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 with professional-grade preamps and mix functions. High-resolution, lowlatency 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.

EASILY EXPAND YOUR PA
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/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.
