Electrovoice EV Evolve 50 Portable Column System, Black

Product Information

An excellent choice for weddings, houses of worship, corporate seminars, and more. UV tested and verified for color stability across every component surface. Matches other white‑finish EV loudspeaker models. Specifications Frequency response (-3 dB) The processing engine allows for easy setup via four presets (Music, Live, Speech, and Club), three-band EQ, five user-programmable presets (Store and Recall settings), output delay, phantom power (+15V), visual monitoring of limiter status, input level control and meters, and master volume control to ensure optimal gain structure.

When I added the second system and ran them as a stereo rig, I was convinced that I’d easily have enough level to run an average band gig in a club or pub. Unfortunately because of the remaining Covid restrictions at the time of testing I wasn’t able to find a live event for a proper road test, but I did take the two Evolve 50M units outside and run them at almost full chat for a while with a wide range of recorded material. The mids and top end carried well (over a mixture of hard standing and grass), and the balance stayed fairly constant over a reasonable distance. Even the two 12‑inch subs managed to keep up and pushed out a decent level, certainly more than I’d have expected given their size and weight, and the sub output level can be controlled independently for achieving the best sound balance. The only way to test PA systems is to use them for real, and I would have been very happy to take these along to a smaller‑scale gig and run a live band through them, but for the special circumstances. As a pair at front of house it’s a real miniature line‑array rig with a clear, powerful, focused sound... Gewicht ist noch alleine zu bewältigen. Alles was dann mehr "Dampf" hat wiegt dann auch gleich fast das Doppelte.

Customer Reviews

Ich nutze bisher 2 Systeme um Hochzeiten, Gospelkonzerte oder kleinere Bandauftritte zu realisieren. Ich habe mir extra einen Tag Zeit genommen, um direkt bei Thomann die "noch transportablen" Säulen-Systeme zu testen und zu hören. einen Kommentar in einem YT-Video über ein xy Säulensystem bin ich auf die EV 50M gekommen. Dort war das Zitat in etwas so: "Für den Preis is xy ok - aber nichts gegen meine Evolve 50".

Portable column-style sound systems have been around for many years, but US veterans Electro-Voice may have just perfected the art.Legendary EV audio quality via eight 3.5‑inch full‑range neodymium drivers and a 12‑inch subwoofer, powered by a three‑channel amp for high output. Cutting‑edge components and tuning provide full‑sized sound in a super‑streamlined, plug‑and‑play format. Wide, Even Coverage The Evolve 50M has far too many settings, features and user options to go into here, but I did experiment with the overall system EQ presets (the ‘Mode’ setting), which offer a choice between Live, Speech, Club and the default Music mode. No prizes for guessing roughly what these do, but my personal default mode would always be Live as this is the ‘neutral’ setting. Practical PA High and mid frequencies are handled via an 825mm-tall aluminium column housing eight 3.5-inch neodymium-cone drivers. The bottom third of the column is angled downwards to ensure even coverage near the front. The geometry of the column provides a 120 x 40-degree (horizontal x vertical) dispersion pattern to concentrate the sound where it is most needed. A handle is built into the rear of the column and both the column and its 929mm support pole are supplied in a robust, zip-up carry case that also provides room for cables. When loaded, the bag weighs under 8kg. EV50M is a super high quality product, works very well and reliably. For about a month of use, I've never had such a single failure on anything with this system (unlike e.g. JBL). Also the mobile app is very reliable and well working. Kudos EV for the high quality product.

The system consists of a 15 mm wooden, ported, powered subwoofer enclosure that houses a 12” subwoofer capable of a functional frequency output down to 37 Hz. Easy setup via four presets (Music, Live, Speech, Club), threeband EQ, five userprogrammable presets, output delay, phantom power, input level control and metering, and master volume control to optimize gain structure. Specifications: The sound is just incredible. There is rarely a night that I don't get compliments. Here's my latest...Designed to deliver an uncompromising combination of light weight, lowprofile looks, and superior ElectroVoice audio quality, the EVOLVE 50 sets a new performance standard for powered column systems. Hier war ich am meisten gespannt und bin begeistert. Auch mit nur einer Säule lässt sich ein Saal 10m x 15m + Bühne super beschallen.
