Description

Thank you for choosing an Electro-Voice portable column system. Please take time to consult
the manual to understand all the features built into your EV system and fully utilize its
performance capabilities.
The EVOLVE 50 portable column system is a new entry and form factor in the Electro-Voice
portable sound portfolio. Designed to deliver an uncompromising combination of low-profile
aesthetics and superior audio performance, the EVOLVE 50 sets a new standard for portable
columnar systems.
EVOLVE 50 is designed to quickly and easily be transported and assembled. The three handle
design on the subwoofer and convenient included carry case for the sub pole and column
array provide minimal resistance to getting excellent, professional sound anywhere you need
it. Installation is made easier via the symmetrical aluminum subwoofer pole with an integrated
wire assembly. The connection is secured by the magnetic assisted latching system, which
magnetically locks the sub pole in place.
The full-range column array and its eight 3.5-inch neodymium drivers are directed using
custom-designed waveguides for consistent 120° coverage. The ported subwoofer enclosure
houses a 12-inch woofer that is supported by 18 mm wood for enhanced stiffness and
acoustical performance. The Class-D amplifier provides up to 1000 watts of output power: 500
watts to the subwoofer and 500 watts to the column array. The input panel features EV's
industry-leading QuickSmartDSP interface—allowing intuitive navigation of system parameters
via an LCD with single-knob control—as well as multiple options for signal routing and inputs.
The new Electro-Voice QuickSmart Mobile application utilizes Bluetooth® Low Energy (BTLE)
technology for the wireless configuration, control, and monitoring of up to six EVOLVE 50
systems simultaneously. High-resolution Bluetooth® audio streaming adds convenience for
wireless music playback in breakout rooms, intermission, and musical accompaniment.
Bluetooth® is available in select countries.
Electro-Voice quality and testing procedures far exceed the industry norm to yield efficient
and effective electro-acoustic performance; this creates components that deliver an accurate,
linear response at the system's highest output levels. When applied to EVOLVE 50, this
engineering philosophy results in a system that brings a new sonic benchmark to the column
speaker segment, all packaged in a sleek and portable enclosure that blends into the
background in any application from a lounge to a wedding reception.
