Key Features
- Professional Performance, Column Convenience: Delivers high-quality sound in a compact and portable design.
- Wide, Even Coverage: Features a full-range column array with eight lightweight 3.5" neodymium drivers providing ultra-wide, full-bandwidth 120° horizontal coverage and array-formed 40° asymmetrical vertical coverage for directed acoustic output.
- Integrated Mixer: Equipped with a fully configurable eight-channel digital mixer, developed in collaboration with Dynacord. It includes professional-grade preamps, multiple inputs, high-resolution, low-latency Bluetooth® streaming, independent channel aux sends, and a foot switch input.
- Effects Suite: Offers a range of effects with 30 presets (chorus, delay, flange, reverb) via two FX channels, allowing musicians to fine-tune their tone and reduce the need for external equipment.
- Easily Expand Your PA: The QuickSmart Link technology allows two EVOLVE 50Ms to be combined via an Ethernet cable for doubled inputs and full mix control via the QuickSmart Mobile app. It can also be matched with an EVOLVE 50 via the MIX OUT XLR connector for applications requiring fewer inputs.
- Wireless Control & Monitoring: Utilize the Electro-Voice QuickSmart Mobile app (available on Apple App Store and Google Play) to adjust all audio, effects, and mix functions via a smartphone or tablet.
QuickSmart Link Technology
Electro-Voice introduces QuickSmart Link, enabling easy connection of two EVOLVE 50M systems via a network cable. This doubles the mic/line inputs and allows for comprehensive mixing of the entire band using the QuickSmart Mobile app.
