Electro-Voice - EVOLVE 50M
Superior Electro-Voice sound qualityThe addition of the EVOLVE 50M column loudspeaker system is an expansion of Electro-Voice’s EVOLVE series, featuring their new QuickSmart Link digital audio and control technology, a built-in mixer, DSP and effects - all housed within the sleek EVOLVE 50 format. The EVOLVE 50M is the ideal choice for bands/musicians, AV rental companies, DJs and any application that requires true professional audio performance 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 provide the best-in-class sound quality, power and reliability. The full-range column array features eight lightweight 3.5” neodymium drivers to provide ultra-wide, full-bandwidth 120° coverage using proprietary waveguides; array-formed 40° asymmetrical vertical coverage ensures acoustic output is directed towards both sitting and standing audience members.
The array enclosure is made from a durable composite material and has an ergonomic aluminum handle. A 12” subwoofer is housed in a 15 mm wood enclosure with a high-efficiency laminar-flow vent design, resulting in improved rigidity and acoustical performance. The array and sub are connected by a symmetrical aluminum pole with internal wiring and magnetically assisted latching. The speakers are kept safe by a black powder-coated 18-gauge steel grille, and an array/pole carry case is included. Along with all this, an advanced Class-D amplifier provides up to 1000 W of power.

Fully Featured
User FriendlyFeaturiong the most comprehensive and user friendly feature set of any column system available today, the EVOLVE 50M’s “M” designation refers to its integrated fully featured, fully configurable eight channel digital mixer.
Designed in collaboration with the world-class audio electronics engineering team at Electro-Voice’s sibling brand Dynacord, the mixer has multiple inputs (4x XLR/TRS combo mic/line inputs, 1x XLR/TRS combo stereo line input, 1x RCA, 1x 3.5 mm stereo, 1x Hi-Z instrument input) with professional level preamps and mix functions.
High-resolution, low latency Bluetooth® streaming offers incredible results for music playback or accompaniment. Also included is an independent channel aux sends, a foot switch input, and a range of effects (30 presets, including chorus, delay, flange and reverb, via two FX channels) add a world of options for musicians to perfect their tone. All of the above help to reduce load-in/out and setup/teardown time - and on-stage clutter - by reducing the need for external equipment such as a mixer and effects pedals.
QuickSmart Link
Total controlThe Electro-Voice QuickSmart Link makes it easy to join two EVOLVE 50M's for use together with larger bands or gigs that require more inputs.
You can ink the systems together using an Ethernet cable to create an uncompressed digital audio/control connection, pair both systems to a single mobile device wity the QuickSmart Mobile app (available via the Apple App Store and on Google Play), and get complete mix control of both systems.
For applications requiring less inputs, but still need a mixer and stereo output, the EVOLVE 50M can be matched with an EVOLVE 50 using the MIX OUT XLR connector.
Unmatched Convenience
Quick RecallThe EVOLVE 50M’s control panel features ElectroVoice’s powerful QuickSmart DSP, which allows the navigation and adjustment of all audio, effects and mix functions using an LCD with single-knob control or via the QuickSmart Mobile app, along with multiple options for signal routing and inputs.
Functions include four presets (Music, Live, Speech, Club), three-band system EQ (low, mid, high), seven-band graphic EQ (in Mixer mode), five user-programmable presets (Store and Recall settings), phantom power, visual monitoring of limiter status, input level control and meters, and a master volume control to optimize gain structure.
