Electro-Voice Evolve 30M G2 Black

The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 30M G2 is an active column PA system that combines powerful sound with an integrated 8-channel digital mixer, Bluetooth audio streaming, and extensive DSP features. This compact sound system is designed for musicians, DJs, bands, presentations, events, and rental companies looking for professional sound quality without having to set up an elaborate PA system.

With 1,500 watts of amplifier power, a 10-inch subwoofer, and six 2.8-inch neodymium drivers in the column, the EVOLVE 30M G2 delivers a maximum sound pressure level of 125 dB SPL. The system offers a wide coverage pattern of 120 degrees horizontally and 40 degrees vertically, ensuring that sound is distributed evenly throughout the audience. This makes this Electro-Voice column speaker suitable for a wide range of applications with audiences of up to approximately 150 people.

The second generation of the EVOLVE 30M builds on the original design and adds more power, improved controls, and additional mixing features. These include switchable 48V phantom power, automatic feedback suppression, music ducking, expanded effects, and QuickSmart Link for connecting two systems together.

1,500 watts of power with a 10-inch subwoofer
The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 30M G2 features an integrated 1,500-watt amplifier, with 800 watts dedicated to the low frequencies and 700 watts to the column speaker. This combination delivers a balanced sound with sufficient power for live music, DJ sets, and speech applications. The built-in 10-inch subwoofer handles the low frequencies and utilizes a specially designed bass-reflex enclosure with a laminar air port. This design reduces airflow noise and contributes to efficient bass reproduction. As a result, the system delivers controlled bass, even at higher volumes. The column is equipped with six 2.8-inch neodymium drivers that work in conjunction with a dispersion design developed by Electro-Voice. The 120-degree horizontal dispersion ensures that the sound reaches a large portion of the room, while the 40-degree vertical dispersion helps direct the sound toward the audience. With a frequency range of 45 Hz to 20 kHz (-10 dB) and a maximum sound pressure level of 125 dB, the EVOLVE 30M G2 delivers the performance needed for both background music and live performances and events.

Integrated 8-Channel Digital Mixer
A key feature of the EVOLVE 30M G2 is its built-in 8-channel digital mixer. This allows multiple microphones, instruments, and audio sources to be connected directly to the system. For many applications, this eliminates the need for an external mixing console. The mixer features professional microphone preamps and a variety of connection options, including XLR/TRS combo inputs, a Hi-Z instrument input, stereo RCA connectors, and a 3.5 mm stereo input. This allows you to connect, for example, vocal microphones, a guitar, keyboard, DJ controller, or other audio players. The switchable 48V phantom power allows for the use of condenser microphones as well. This is a significant improvement over the previous generation and offers more possibilities for musicians and presenters. In addition to the physical connections, the system supports Bluetooth audio streaming for playing music from a smartphone, tablet, or other compatible device. Bluetooth True Wireless Stereo (TWS) also enables wireless stereo playback using two compatible systems.

Advanced DSP, Effects, and Feedback Suppression
The EVOLVE 30M G2 features digital signal processing that allows the sound to be tailored to the application and the room. The built-in DSP offers various sound settings for music, live performances, speech, and DJ use, among others. With Advanced Feedback Suppression (AFS), the system can detect and suppress unwanted feedback frequencies. This is particularly useful during presentations, vocal performances, and situations where microphones are used close to the speakers. The built-in music ducking automatically lowers the level of background music when someone is speaking. This ensures that announcements and presentations remain audible without the need to manually adjust the music volume. In addition, the mixer offers two FX banks with extensive options for combining effects. This allows, for example, vocals and instruments to be processed with effects without the need for external effects gear.

QuickSmart 3.0 Operation and Wireless Control
The EVOLVE 30M G2 is equipped with a 2.8-inch color LCD screen on the subwoofer’s control panel. Mixer settings, DSP functions, effects, and system parameters can be adjusted via this screen and the central rotary knob. For remote control, the Electro-Voice QuickSmart app can be used. This allows settings to be changed wirelessly from a smartphone or tablet. This makes it possible to evaluate and adjust the sound from various positions in the room. QuickSmart 3.0 offers features such as managing and grouping compatible Electro-Voice speakers, setting up Bluetooth True Wireless Stereo, and adjusting sound reproduction. Firmware updates can also be performed via the app.

QuickSmart Link – Combining Two Systems
With QuickSmart Link, two Electro-Voice EVOLVE 30M G2 systems can be linked together using a standard Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors. This connection enables the exchange of audio and control data between the two systems. As a result, the mixing capabilities of two EVOLVE 30M G2 systems can be combined, providing more capacity for connecting microphones, instruments, and other audio sources. QuickSmart Link is particularly useful for bands and larger performances that require more mixing channels. It also allows you to set up a stereo PA system without needing a separate external audio mixer for each speaker.

Compact Design and Quick Setup
Despite its amplifier power and extensive mixing features, the EVOLVE 30M G2 is designed with portability in mind. The complete system weighs approximately 19.8 kg and consists of a subwoofer, a column speaker, and two connecting pieces. Thanks to its modular 3-2-1 design, the system can be set up quickly. The column and the intermediate sections are placed on top of the subwoofer, after which the system is ready to be connected to audio sources. The interconnecting design eliminates the need for a separate speaker cable between the column and the subwoofer. The subwoofer features an ergonomic handle on top, making it easier to lift and transport. The enclosure is made of plywood with a protective polyurea coating, while the column features a composite construction and the connecting pieces are made of aluminum. A carrying bag is included for transporting the column and the connecting pieces. A protective cover and a wheeled transport case are available separately for the subwoofer.

Suitable for musicians, DJs, and event
The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 30M G2 is designed for users who want to combine a complete sound system with a compact setup. Thanks to the integrated mixer, Bluetooth, and built-in effects, the system can be used without a large amount of additional equipment. For singer-songwriters and small bands, the EVOLVE 30M G2 offers connections for vocal microphones and instruments, while the DSP and effects help create a complete live mix. Mobile DJs benefit from the amplifier power, the 10-inch subwoofer, and the wide sound coverage. For business presentations, ceremonies, and events, clarity, music ducking, and remote control are key features. With a system height of approximately 200 cm, a compact subwoofer, and quick setup, the EVOLVE 30M G2 is also suitable for situations where space is limited or the PA system is moved frequently.
