The EVOLVE 50 Portable Column System is a three-component loudspeaker system powered by a 1000 W Class-D amplifier and driven by Electro-Voice's QuickSmartDSP.
The system consists of a 15 mm wooden ported powered subwoofer enclosure that houses a 12 subwoofer capable of a functional frequency output down to 37 Hz. The bi-directional aluminium pole's connection to the subwoofer is secured using a magnet, and the column array is gravity-held to the sub pole. The signal is internally routed to the components. Eight 3.5" neodymium drivers in the column array coupled with the 12" subwoofer deliver up to 127 dB SPL. The eight composite waveguides control high frequencies with 120° of horizontal coverage and 40° of asymmetrical (down-facing) vertical coverage to ensure suitable output for sitting and standing audiences.
The sub-pole and column array come prepackaged in a carrying bag. The processing engine allows for easy setup via four presets (Music, Live Speech and Club), a three-band EQ and five user-programmable presets (Store and Recall settings). output delay phantom power (+15V) Visual monitoring of limiter status input level control and meters and master volume control to ensure optimal gain structure.
The new Electro-Voice QuickSmart Mobile application utilises Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE) technology for the wireless configuration control and monitoring of up to six EVOLVE 50 systems simultaneously.
