Electro-Voice EVOLVE 30M Powered Column Array System - White

For performers who want a complete PA, mixer and effects system without hauling a conventional speaker-and-console setup, the Electro-Voice EVOLVE 30M powered column array system brings those functions together in a compact, modular format. Its 1000W amplifier drives a column-based loudspeaker system engineered for broad 120-degree horizontal by 40-degree vertical coverage, while a maximum output of 123dB and 45Hz–20kHz frequency range provide the reach and bandwidth needed for live music, presentations and other portable sound applications. An integrated 8-channel digital mixer handles microphones, instruments and playback sources without requiring an external console, and onboard effects expand the system’s processing capabilities. QuickSmart Mobile app control places audio, effects and mix functions on a compatible mobile device, while Bluetooth audio streaming adds wireless playback for backing tracks, break music and other program material.

Six-Driver Column Array With 10" Subwoofer

The EVOLVE 30M pairs six 2.8" neodymium HF drivers in its column array with a 10" LF driver housed in the subwoofer, creating a full-range system engineered for both clarity and low-frequency support. Its 1000W amplifier supplies 500W to the LF section and 500W to the HF section, while a 200Hz crossover manages the transition between them. Electro-Voice combines the six-driver array with a proprietary waveguide to provide 120-degree horizontal by 40-degree vertical coverage, helping distribute vocals, instruments and program material across a broad listening area. With a 45Hz–20kHz frequency range and maximum output of 123dB SPL, the system balances compact dimensions with the output and coverage needed for live performance and portable PA applications.

8-Channel Digital Mixing Built Into the System

An integrated 8-channel digital mixer turns the EVOLVE 30M into more than a self-contained loudspeaker system. Multiple mic, line and instrument inputs allow performers to connect several sources directly, reducing the need to carry and wire a separate mixing console for streamlined setups. This makes it possible to build a complete live mix around vocals, instruments and playback devices from one central system. Electro-Voice also incorporates onboard processing and studio-quality effects, giving users additional control over individual sources and the overall mix. For musicians running their own sound, that integrated workflow can simplify both setup and operation while keeping essential mixing functions close at hand.

QuickSmart Mobile Control Extends the Mixing Workflow

Wireless control through the Electro-Voice QuickSmart Mobile app provides remote access to audio, effects and mix functions from a compatible mobile device. Instead of remaining next to the system while making adjustments, performers can move through the room and refine settings from different listening positions. That can be especially useful when checking overall balance or making changes during a performance without adding a separate control surface. Built-in Bluetooth audio streaming further expands the wireless workflow, allowing compatible devices to supply music and other program material without an additional audio cable. Together, remote mixing and wireless playback make the EVOLVE 30M adaptable to changing requirements before, during and between performances.

Flexible Connections Accommodate Live Sound Sources

The EVOLVE 30M provides a broad selection of connections for building a compact live sound rig. Four XLR/TRS combo mic/line inputs support microphones and line-level equipment, while a dedicated 1/4" TRS Hi-Z input accommodates high-impedance instrument signals. Two additional XLR/TRS combo inputs handle stereo line sources, supplemented by stereo RCA and 3.5 mm connections for playback devices. A 1/4" footswitch input adds hands-free control capability, while XLR mix and aux outputs support expanded routing when a performance setup requires additional equipment. This range of analog and wireless connectivity helps the system accommodate everything from a simple singer-songwriter setup to more involved multi-source performances.

Modular Construction Keeps Setup and Transport Manageable

Portability is built into the EVOLVE 30M’s three-part architecture. The system combines a plywood subwoofer enclosure, composite column and 2-piece aluminum pole, creating a modular setup that can be separated for transport and assembled at the performance location. The column weighs 6 lb. and the two pole sections weigh 3.1 lb., while an included bag carries the column and pole together. That modular approach is particularly useful for working musicians, DJs, presenters and other users who frequently move their own PA equipment. By combining broad coverage, integrated digital mixing, wireless control and a transport-conscious design, the Electro-Voice EVOLVE 30M powered column array system provides a self-contained live sound platform for mobile performance applications.
