Electro-Voice EVOLVE 30M Portable 1000W Column Sound System with Mixer & Bluetooth (Black)

The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 30M brings a powered column PA, eight-channel digital mixer, onboard effects, and Bluetooth audio together in one portable system. Designed for solo performers, small groups, and smaller venues, it combines a 10-inch subwoofer with six 2.8-inch neodymium array drivers and up to 1000W of Class-D amplification.

Mix Microphones, Instruments, and Playback

The built-in eight-channel digital mixer accommodates microphone, instrument, and playback sources without requiring a separate mixer for every small setup. Mic/line combo inputs, a Hi-Z instrument input, stereo line connections, and Bluetooth audio give you options for a solo set, a small ensemble, or wedding speeches followed by music.

Onboard effects and phantom power add flexibility, while XLR mix and aux outputs provide routing options for your setup.

Adjust Your Sound from the Audience Area

QuickSmart DSP offers LCD navigation with a single-knob control. Choose Music, Live, Speech, or Club presets, shape the sound with three-band system EQ or seven-band graphic EQ in Mixer mode, and store five user presets for repeat setups.

The QuickSmart Mobile app provides remote control of audio, effects, and mix functions. Make adjustments from across the room while listening from the audience's perspective, with control and monitoring of up to six EVOLVE 30M systems via Bluetooth Low Energy.

Wide Coverage in a Compact Format

The six-driver column array delivers 120° horizontal coverage and asymmetrical 40° vertical coverage for seated and standing listeners. The 10-inch subwoofer uses a plywood enclosure and laminar-flow vent design, with 500W of amplifier power allocated to the subwoofer and 500W to the array.

Quick Assembly and Convenient Packing

A two-piece aluminum pole connects the subwoofer and array using internal wiring and magnetically assisted latching. Pack the column and pole into the included backpack carry case when the show is over, keeping the smaller components together for the next load-in.
