Electro-Voice Evolve 50 Short Column Speaker Pole Instruction Manual

Introduction

This manual provides instructions for the Electro-Voice Evolve 50 Short Column Speaker Pole, designed to optimize sound coverage for the EVOLVE 50 portable PA system. This accessory facilitates proper speaker positioning, especially in environments with height restrictions.

Product Features

• Aluminum construction for durability.
• Specifically designed for the Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50 Portable Column System.
• Measures 12.6 inches in length, providing an alternative height for speaker placement.
• Features magnetic connectors with integrated wiring for simplified setup and breakdown.

Setup Instructions

The Electro-Voice Evolve 50 Short Column Speaker Pole is designed for quick and secure integration with the EVOLVE 50 portable PA system.

Step 1: Unpacking

Carefully remove the short column speaker pole from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage.

Step 2: Connecting to the Subwoofer

Locate the speaker pole receptacle on the top of the EVOLVE 50 subwoofer unit.

Image Description: This image shows a detailed view of the top section of the short column speaker pole. The black aluminum body features a hexagonal opening at the top, revealing several metallic contact points and a central circular magnetic connector. This design facilitates the electrical and mechanical connection to the speaker array.

Align the bottom end of the short column speaker pole with the receptacle. The magnetic connectors will guide the pole into place and secure it. Ensure a firm connection.

Step 3: Attaching the Column Speaker Array

Take the EVOLVE 50 column speaker array.

Image Description: This image displays the complete Electro-Voice Evolve 50 portable PA system in black, assembled with the short column speaker pole. The pole is positioned between the subwoofer base and the tall, slender column speaker array, demonstrating the compact setup achieved with this accessory.

Align the bottom of the column speaker array with the top of the short column speaker pole. The magnetic connectors will engage, securing the array to the pole and establishing the necessary electrical connections.

Verify that both connections are stable and the column array is securely seated.

Operating Instructions

The short column speaker pole functions as a structural and electrical link within the EVOLVE 50 system. Once installed, it requires no further operational input. Its primary purpose is to position the column speaker array at a lower height, which can be beneficial in venues with low ceilings or when a less obtrusive speaker profile is desired.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean the speaker pole, use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, which could damage the finish or internal components.

Inspection

Periodically inspect the pole for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion, especially around the magnetic connectors. Ensure the connectors are free of dust or debris that could impede proper contact.

Storage

When not in use, store the speaker pole in a dry, temperate environment, ideally in its original packaging or a protective case, to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

Speaker Array Not Connecting Securely

Issue: The column speaker array does not feel stable or connect firmly to the short column pole.

Solution:

• Ensure the pole is fully inserted and seated into the subwoofer's receptacle.
• Check both the top of the pole and the bottom of the column array for any obstructions (e.g., debris, packaging material) that might prevent proper magnetic connection.
• Verify that the magnetic connectors are clean and undamaged.

No Audio from Column Array (after pole installation)

Issue: The EVOLVE 50 system powers on, but no sound is produced from the column array after installing the short pole.

Solution:

• Confirm that the short column pole is correctly and fully seated at both ends (subwoofer to pole, pole to column array). The integrated wiring relies on these secure connections.
• Check all other system connections (power, audio input) to ensure they are correctly made.
• If the issue persists, try using the standard pole (if available) to isolate whether the problem is with the short pole or another system component.
