The Electro-Voice Evolve 30M is a versatile, ultra-compact PA system ideal for small and medium-sized venues. Delivering 1000 watts of power, it works as a standalone system for solo performers or can be daisy-chained with other units for larger setups. The system includes a powerful 10-inch woofer, a lightweight aluminum sub pole, and a column array with six 2.8-inch neodymium drivers. Its proprietary waveguide design provides 120° horizontal and 40° vertical coverage, ensuring even sound reaches the back of the house. Featuring an onboard 8-channel digital mixer, Bluetooth streaming, and wireless control via the QuickSmart mobile app, the Evolve 30M offers professional-grade functionality in a compact package.
Weighing just 44 pounds—almost 15 pounds less than its predecessor, the Evolve 50—the Evolve 30M is easy to transport. It ships with a backpack for the column array and aluminum speaker pole. Setup is quick: the two-section aluminum pole mounts into the subwoofer and transmits audio to the column array via integrated internal wiring. This intuitive design ensures performers can plug in and play almost immediately, making gig preparation fast and effortless.
The Evolve 30M features an 8-channel digital mixer controllable via the QuickSmart mobile app. The mixer includes four presets, a 3-band EQ, onboard compressor, dual FX sends, and independent channel gain controls. Users can add any of 30 professional-quality effects, including reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, and echo. Built-in Bluetooth streaming allows continuous audio playback even when away from the stage, providing unmatched convenience and control.
The column array contains six 2.8-inch neodymium high-frequency drivers paired with a proprietary waveguide, producing 120° horizontal and 40° vertical coverage. Combined with the ported 10-inch subwoofer, the system reaches up to 123dB SPL with a frequency response down to 45Hz. This ensures every corner of the venue experiences consistent, high-quality sound, making the Evolve 30M a true powerhouse in a compact design.
The EVOLVE 30M delivers a significant step up in all-around performance for a column PA system in its size and price category. It features an eight-channel digital mixer, studio-quality onboard effects, and allows remote control of all audio, effects, and mix functions via the next-generation Electro-Voice QuickSmart Mobile application, available on both the Apple Store and Google Play.
