Electro-Voice has released the Evolve 50 for PA applications with a maximum SPL (sound pressure level) of 126 dB and a weight of 35kg.
The full-range column loudspeaker has eight 3.5-in neodymium drivers and a 12-in subwoofer. A Class-D amplifier provides up to 1,000 watts of output power. It delivers 120-degree horizontal coverage and array-formed 40-degree asymmetrical vertical coverage. The array is enclosed in ABS plastic and the ported subwoofer is enclosed in wood.
A symmetrical aluminium subwoofer pole has integrated wiring. At each end of the pole the cable-free connection is locked into place by an internal magnet. High-resolution Bluetooth audio allows the streaming of background music or musical accompaniment directly from mobile devices. The Bluetooth QuickSmartMobile app offers wireless configuration, control, and monitoring of up to six Evolve 50 systems simultaneously. Settings can be entered into the app in real time from in front of the system.
An angled input panel gives users access from above to make adjustments and connections, and includes EV’s QuickSmartDSP interface.
