EV Evolve 50M Product Review

Electro-Voice is expanding its industry leading EVOLVE series with the launch of the EVOLVE 50M column loudspeaker system. The EVOLVE 50M features Electro Voice’s new Quick Smart 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/musicians, AV rental companies, DJs and any application where true professional audio performance is required in a super-compact and portable package.

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. 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. The array enclosure is constructed from a durable composite material and incorporates an ergonomic aluminum 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 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/pole carry case is included. An advanced Class D amplifier provides up to 1000 W of power.
