The system is designed for events with an audience of up to approximately 300 people.

What sets the EVOLVE 50M G2 apart from the standard EVOLVE 50 G2 is its advanced 8-channel digital mixer. This allows multiple microphones, instruments, and stereo sources to be connected and mixed directly. Combined with switchable 48V phantom power, automatic feedback suppression, music ducking, two FX banks, and QuickSmart Link, the system offers the functionality of a compact PA system with an integrated mixing console.

1,500 watts of power with a 12-inch subwoofer
The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50M 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 provides ample power for live music, DJ performances, presentations, and events requiring high sound pressure levels. The built-in 12-inch subwoofer handles the low frequencies and utilizes a bass-reflex design with a laminar air port. This design improves airflow and reduces turbulence, allowing the subwoofer to operate efficiently and deliver deep, controlled bass reproduction. This is particularly noticeable in music genres where a powerful low end is important. 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 50M G2 offers a full soundstage with sufficient low-frequency response for a wide range of applications. The maximum sound pressure level of 129 dB SPL also provides additional headroom compared to the previous generation.

Eight neodymium drivers with wide sound coverage
The column speaker is equipped with eight 3.5-inch neodymium drivers that work in conjunction with a specially developed dispersion design. This distributes the sound across a wide listening area without the need to place multiple speakers side by side. The 120-degree horizontal dispersion makes it possible to reach a large portion of the audience. The 40-degree vertical dispersion ensures that the sound is directed and helps minimize unwanted reflections off the floor and ceiling. This combination ensures consistent sound reproduction from the front row all the way to the back of the room. As a result, the EVOLVE 50M G2 is suitable for live music, DJ sets, weddings, corporate events, and presentations, among other applications.

Integrated 8-channel digital mixer
The main difference between the EVOLVE 50M G2 and the standard EVOLVE 50 G2 is the built-in 8-channel digital mixer. This mixer offers extensive connection and control options, allowing you to create a complete live mix without the need for an external mixing console. The mixer features four XLR/TRS combo inputs for microphone and line signals. This allows, for example, multiple vocal microphones, instruments, or other audio sources to be connected directly. The professional microphone preamps ensure proper signal processing for both vocals and speech. Thanks to the switchable 48V phantom power, condenser microphones can also be used. This is an improvement over the previous generation and offers more options for musicians who, for example, want to amplify acoustic instruments or vocals with condenser microphones. In addition, the EVOLVE 50M G2 features a Hi-Z instrument input via a 6.35 mm jack. This allows an instrument such as an electric or electro-acoustic guitar to be connected directly, without always requiring a separate DI box. For stereo sources, the mixer includes XLR/TRS combo jacks, stereo RCA jacks, and a 3.5 mm stereo input. This allows you to connect devices such as keyboards, DJ controllers, audio players, and other equipment with a line output. The mixer also features an XLR Mix Out and a separate XLR Aux Out. These allow the mixed audio signal to be routed to other equipment and enable the use of additional signal paths. For musicians and bands, this means that multiple audio sources can be connected directly to the EVOLVE 50M G2. Thanks to the integrated mixer and effects, the system can be used as a complete PA solution for small to medium-sized performances.

Advanced QuickSmart DSP and Feedback Suppression
The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50M 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 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 vocal performances, presentations, and events where microphones are located near the speakers. 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 having to manually adjust the music volume each time. The EVOLVE 50M G2 also features two FX banks that allow various effects to be added to the sound. This offers options for processing vocals and instruments, for example with reverb and delay effects. The two effects banks allow effects to be combined and tailored to the connected audio sources. Combined with the digital mixer, this makes the EVOLVE 50M G2 ideal for musicians and bands who want to control their sound directly from the speaker system, without relying on external effects gear.

QuickSmart 3.0 and Wireless Control
The EVOLVE 50M G2 is equipped with a 2.8-inch color LCD screen on the subwoofer’s control panel. Using this screen and the central rotary knob, mixer settings, DSP functions, effects, and system parameters can be adjusted directly. For remote control, you can use the Electro-Voice QuickSmart 3.0 app. This allows you to adjust key settings wirelessly from a smartphone or tablet. This makes it possible to walk around the room during a soundcheck and evaluate the sound from different listening positions. The QuickSmart 3.0 app features a redesigned user interface that simplifies mixer setup and the management of multiple speakers. In addition to controlling sound playback, the app offers options for grouping compatible Electro-Voice speakers and configuring Bluetooth True Wireless Stereo. Firmware updates can also be performed wirelessly via the app. This allows compatible speaker systems to be updated without requiring separate software on a computer.

QuickSmart Link – Combining Two Systems
With QuickSmart Link, two Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50M 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. This expands the available mixing inputs and provides more flexibility for connecting microphones, instruments, and other sound sources. This is particularly useful for bands and larger performances where multiple microphones and instruments are used. Two EVOLVE 50M G2 systems can be combined to form an expanded PA setup, utilizing the mixing functions of both speakers. QuickSmart Link also simplifies the cabling between the two systems. This eliminates the need to route each audio source separately to both speakers, keeping the entire setup neat and organized.

Bluetooth True Wireless Stereo
The EVOLVE 50M G2 supports Bluetooth audio streaming, allowing music to be played directly from a smartphone, tablet, or other compatible Bluetooth device. The second generation offers improved Bluetooth range, providing greater freedom of movement when playing and controlling music. This is practical for background music, intermission music, and playing backing tracks during performances. In addition, the system supports Bluetooth True Wireless Stereo (TWS). This allows two compatible EVOLVE G2 systems to be paired wirelessly for stereo playback. This feature is useful for DJs, events, and other applications where music needs to be played in stereo without requiring a separate audio cable between the two speakers.

Compact 3-2-1 Design and Quick Setup
Despite its power and extensive mixing features, the EVOLVE 50M G2 remains a compact PA system designed for frequent transport and quick setup. The system consists of three main components: an active 12-inch subwoofer, an aluminum support pole, 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 crossbar is placed on top of the subwoofer, after which the column is mounted onto the crossbar. The design utilizes a magnetically supported connection and internal signal routing, eliminating the need for a separate speaker cable between the subwoofer and the column. The subwoofer is made of plywood with a protective polyurea coating. The column features a composite construction, and the connecting rod is made of aluminum. The steel speaker grille features a powder-coated finish. For transport, the subwoofer is equipped with ergonomic handles, including one on the top. This makes it easier to lift and carry the subwoofer. The complete system weighs approximately 25.2 kg and has an assembled height of about 209 cm. A carrying bag is included for transporting the column and the crossbar. A protective cover and a wheeled transport case are available separately for the subwoofer.
