Designed to deliver a step up in sound quality and set
a new performance standard for compact column
speaker systems - EVOLVE 30M is perfect for solo
musicians, small groups, mobile entertainers and
smaller venues that need an easy-to-use, highly
portable and lightweight system with extraordinary
coverage and output for its size. EVOLVE 30M comes
ready to go with speaker array, symmetrical aluminum
pole connectors with internal wire assembly and
magnetically assisted latching, subwoofer, and
included pole/array carry case - all designed to pack
up compactly, set up and tear down quickly, look great
on stage, and withstand real-world wear and tear.
Professional-grade EV-engineered components and
build quality - The full-range column array and its six
2.8” neodymium drivers provide room-filling ultra-wide
120° coverage via custom-designed 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. Four
tuning ports are located on the rear of the enclosure
for acoustic optimization. A 10” subwoofer is housed
in a 15 mm wood enclosure with a high-efficiency
laminar-flow vent design, for enhanced rigidity and
acoustical performance. The Class-D amplifier
provides up to 1000 W of output power: 500 W to the
subwoofer and 500 W to the column array. The
speakers are protected by a black powder-coated 18
ga. steel grille. Combined, these components generate
a genuinely stunning performance to size ratio - an
elegant form factor that looks as good as it sounds.
The most extensive feature set in its class - The
EVOLVE 30M has an integrated full-function and fully
programmable eight-channel digital mixer with
multiple inputs (4x XLR/TRS combo line/mic inputs, 1x
XLR/TRS stereo line input, 1x RCA, 1x 3.5 mm stereo,
1x Hi-Z instrument input, wireless Bluetooth® Audio
Input), and professional-grade preamps and mixer
functions - all designed in collaboration with the
world-class mixer engineering team at EV’s sibling
brand Dynacord. For the performing musician, Hi-Z
and foot switch inputs are included for flexible system
configuration, and a range of onboard studio-quality
effects (30 presets, including chorus, delay, flange and
reverb, via two FX channels) add myriad options for
finessing your sound. This reduces set-up time - and
on-stage clutter - by minimizing the need for external
equipment such as a mixer and effects pedals, which
also makes loading in and out of the venue quicker.
