Electro-Voice Evolve 50 G2 Black

The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50 G2 is an active column PA system that combines powerful sound with a compact design, integrated mixing functions, and wireless control. With a 1,500-watt amplifier, a 12-inch subwoofer, and eight 3.5-inch neodymium drivers, this system delivers a maximum sound pressure level of 129 dB SPL. This makes the EVOLVE 50 G2 ideal for musicians, DJs, bands, rental companies, and event venues where sound quality, power, and quick setup are essential.

The EVOLVE 50 G2 builds on the design of the original EVOLVE 50 and offers a higher maximum sound pressure level, improved DSP features, and expanded connectivity options. With a horizontal coverage of 120 degrees and a vertical coverage of 40 degrees, sound is distributed evenly across the audience. The system is designed for events with an audience of up to approximately 300 people.

The second generation also offers more control options. For example, the EVOLVE 50 G2 features switchable 48V phantom power, automatic feedback suppression, music ducking, QuickSmart Link, and Bluetooth True Wireless Stereo. Using the Electro-Voice QuickSmart app or the integrated color LCD screen, settings can be adjusted to suit the application and the room’s acoustics.

1,500 watts of power with a 12-inch subwoofer
The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50 G2 features an integrated Class-D amplifier with a total power output of 1,500 watts. Of this, 800 watts are allocated to the low frequencies and 700 watts to the column speaker. This power distribution ensures controlled reproduction of low, mid, and high frequencies. The built-in 12-inch subwoofer handles the bass reproduction and utilizes a specially designed bass-reflex enclosure with a laminar air port. This design improves airflow and reduces unwanted turbulence, allowing the subwoofer to operate more efficiently and produce deep, controlled bass. With a frequency response of 43 Hz to 20 kHz (-3 dB) and a frequency range of 37 Hz to 20 kHz (-10 dB), the EVOLVE 50 G2 delivers a full-bodied sound suitable for a wide variety of music styles. The maximum sound pressure level of 129 dB SPL provides ample power for live music, DJ performances, and other applications requiring high sound levels.

Eight neodymium drivers with 120-degree coverage
The EVOLVE 50 G2 column speaker is equipped with eight 3.5-inch neodymium drivers. These drivers are arranged in a specially developed array configuration that ensures even sound distribution across a large listening area. The 120-degree horizontal dispersion makes it possible to reach a wide audience without having to place multiple speakers side by side. The 40-degree vertical dispersion helps direct the sound toward the audience and minimize unwanted reflections off the floor and ceiling. Thanks to this coverage, the sound remains consistent, both at the front and further back in the room. This is especially important at events where attendees are spread out over a larger area, such as weddings, corporate parties, presentations, and live performances.

Microphone and Line Connections The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50 G2 features various connection options that allow microphones, instruments with a suitable line output, and external audio sources to be connected directly to the system. As a result, an external mixing console isn’t always necessary for simple PA setups. The connection panel offers two XLR/TRS combo inputs for microphone and line signals. Thanks to the switchable 48V phantom power, condenser microphones can also be connected. This opens up possibilities for vocals, speech, and presentations. In addition, the system features stereo line inputs, including RCA and a 3.5 mm stereo input. These can be used to connect devices such as a keyboard, DJ controller, or audio player. The audio signal can be routed to other audio equipment or an additional speaker via the XLR Mix Out. For wireless music playback, the system supports Bluetooth audio streaming.

Advanced QuickSmart DSP and Feedback Suppression
The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50 G2 features digital signal processing that allows the sound reproduction to be tailored to various applications. The built-in QuickSmart DSP offers four sound presets: Music, Live, Speech, and Club. This allows the system to be adapted for applications such as music playback, live performances, presentations, and DJ use. Advanced Feedback Suppression (AFS) automatically detects and suppresses unwanted feedback frequencies. This helps prevent feedback when microphones are used and is particularly useful during presentations, vocal performances, and events. Another feature is automatic music ducking. This temporarily lowers the volume of background music when someone is speaking into a microphone. As a result, announcements and presentations remain audible without the need to manually adjust the music volume. In addition, the EVOLVE 50 G2 features a built-in FX bank for adding effects to the sound. Combined with the DSP settings, the sound reproduction can be tailored to the connected audio sources and the room’s acoustics.

QuickSmart 3.0 and Remote Control
The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50 G2 can be controlled via the integrated 2.8-inch color LCD screen on the back of the subwoofer. Combined with the central rotary knob, this screen provides access to the most important mixer settings, DSP functions, and system parameters. For wireless control, you can use the Electro-Voice QuickSmart app. This allows you to adjust settings from a smartphone or tablet without having to stand right next to the subwoofer. This makes it possible to walk around the room during the soundcheck and evaluate the sound from different listening positions. You can then remotely adjust levels, EQ settings, and other audio parameters. The EVOLVE 50 G2 is part of the Electro-Voice QuickSmart ecosystem, which also allows you to manage other compatible Electro-Voice speakers via the app.

QuickSmart Link for linking two systems
With QuickSmart Link, two Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50 G2 systems can be linked together using a standard Ethernet cable with RJ45 connectors. This connection allows audio and control data to be shared between the two speaker systems. This expands the available connection options and enables the creation of a larger PA setup without having to route all audio sources separately to both systems. QuickSmart Link is particularly useful for stereo setups, live performances, and events where two EVOLVE 50 G2 systems are used. The feature simplifies cabling and allows both systems to be operated as a single combined setup.

Bluetooth True Wireless Stereo
In addition to physical connections, the EVOLVE 50 G2 features Bluetooth audio streaming. This allows music to be played directly from a smartphone, tablet, or other compatible Bluetooth device. The second generation offers improved Bluetooth range and supports True Wireless Stereo (TWS). This feature allows two compatible EVOLVE G2 systems to be wirelessly paired for stereo playback. This is a practical solution for playing background music, intermission music, or other audio files when a separate audio cable between the two systems is not desired.

Compact 3-2-1 design and quick assembly
The EVOLVE 50 G2 is designed to combine high sound output with a compact and portable design. The system consists of three main components: an active 12-inch subwoofer, an aluminum crossbar, and a column speaker. Thanks to its modular 3-2-1 design, the system can be set up in just a few minutes. The aluminum connecting rod is attached to the subwoofer using a magnetic connection, after which the column speaker is mounted on the rod. The electrical signal connection runs through the structure itself, eliminating the need for a separate speaker cable between the subwoofer and the column. This keeps the setup neat and allows the system to be quickly set up and taken down. The subwoofer features a plywood enclosure with a protective polyurea coating. The column is made of composite material, and the connecting rod is made of aluminum. The steel speaker grille has a powder-coated finish. For transport, the handles on the sides of the subwoofer have been improved, and an additional handle has been added to the top. This makes it easier to lift and move the subwoofer. The complete system weighs 25.3 kg and has an assembled height of approximately 209 cm. A carrying bag is included as standard for the column and the crossbar. A protective cover and a wheeled transport case are available separately for the subwoofer.

Suitable for DJs, bands, and professional events
The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50 G2 is designed for applications requiring a powerful PA system without the bulk of a traditional speaker setup. For mobile DJs, the 12-inch subwoofer delivers ample low-frequency response for a wide range of music styles, while the wide sound coverage helps ensure even coverage of the audience. Thanks to its compact design, the system is also suitable for venues where a large speaker setup is undesirable. Bands and singer-songwriters benefit from the combination of high sound pressure, clear sound reproduction, and the ability to connect microphones and audio sources directly. The built-in DSP allows settings to be adjusted to the venue and the type of performance. The EVOLVE 50 G2 is also a suitable solution for corporate events, presentations, ceremonies, and rental applications. Music ducking, feedback suppression, and wireless control make the system practical in situations where speech intelligibility and ease of operation are important. With its 1,500-watt amplifier, 12-inch subwoofer, eight neodymium drivers, and QuickSmart features, the EVOLVE 50 G2 offers a complete PA solution for users who want to combine sound quality, power, and portability.
