Low-profile PA with Standout Sound

The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50M is a versatile, ultra-compact PA system that's perfect for small- and medium-sized venues. Packing 1000 watts of power, the EVOLVE 50M can be used on its own by solo artists or daisy-chained with other units for larger venues with ensembles. This PA system consists of three major parts: a potent 12-inch woofer, a lightweight aluminum sub pole, and a column array with eight 3.5-inch neodymium drivers. The EVOLVE 50M has a proprietary waveguide design that provides 120° of horizontal coverage and 40° of vertical coverage to ensure that the back of the house will always hear your mix. It has an onboard 8-channel digital mixer that can handle microphones, guitars, instruments, and many more. Featuring wireless control via the QuickSmart mobile app and seamless Bluetooth streaming, the EVOLVE 50M has enough functionality for any performer.

Ultra-portable, collapsible design saves you time and effort

Lugging a heavy PA into the venue is a lot of work. The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50M seeks to change that, tipping the scale at just 57.75 pounds. To make transportation easy, the EVOLVE 50M ships to your door with an included backpack for the column array and the aluminum speaker pole. Setup is simple: the 2-section aluminum pole mounts into the subwoofer and transmits audio to the column array via internal integrated speaker wires. The intuitive design helps you get set up for your gig in no time at all. Just plug it all in and play!

The fully configurable digital mixer is ready for anything

The EVOLVE 50M has a fully configurable 8-channel digital mixer that you can control from your smartphone via the QuickSmart mobile app. You get four presets to cover some of the situations you may encounter. It includes a 3-band EQ, an onboard compressor, dual FX sends, and independent channel gain controls. In the app, you can add any one of the 30 professional-quality effects to your mix, including reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, and echo! At Sweetwater, we especially appreciate the built-in Bluetooth streaming capability that allows you to keep the vibe going even if you need to step away from the stage.

Neodymium drivers deliver top-notch sound and expansive coverage

The EVOLVE 50M is a sonic powerhouse. The column array is loaded with eight 3.5-inch neodymium high-frequency drivers and a proprietary waveguide that provides an impressive 120° of horizontal coverage and 40° of vertical coverage. The excellent sound quality and dispersion of the column array is paired with the raw power of the ported 12-inch subwoofer to produce up to 127dB SPL with a frequency response as low as 43Hz. No matter where you're playing, you can rest assured that every inch of the venue receives the best sound possible.

Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50M Features:

  • 1000W system packs a big punch
  • Collapsible design allows for compact storage and easy transport
  • Composite waveguides provide spacious coverage for the entire venue
  • 8 column-arrayed HF drivers and 12-inch LF driver deliver impressive power
  • 4 factory presets (Music, Live, Speech, and Club) help you set up for common situations
  • 3-band EQ makes sound shaping simple and easy

Evolve 50m brings the full sound and portability

I madr the decision to retire my heavy and bulky analog/passive PA and join the 2020's in sound tech for my live performing. After a misstep with a JBL, I went all in on the 50m, and haven't looked back. Its like a not so silent partner in music performance. Superior range, power, and clarity. Simple but highly effective controls, and the Quick Smart app control is veey, very good. I ended up with white thanks to a demo offering, but am really glad I did. It looks pretty nice on stage! I havean Everse8 along with for monitoring in band settings, but it stands alone very nicely. Highly recommend this one.

Evolve 50M

We had our 1st performance last night (05/21/22) with the Evolve 50M. 2 lead vocals, TC-Helicon - Perform VK and Korg PA1000. The theme for the event was "Country Music" although we did throw in some classic R&R!

The 50M was a giant! We were in a room with about 150+ people and performed all sorts of music from country ballads to classic R&R. Lots and lots of dancing.

The sound was crystal clear, great bottom, vocals that were the best we have every had, etc. etc. I even had some techie guys come up to me and stated that the sound level was consistent no matter where they were in the room. They wanted to know how we did it - no hot spots, no voids!

And the iphone app is fabulous and makes control a breeze.

One very interesting thing was I had the 50M in front of me (keyboard players are always in the back of the stage!!) by about 6 feet or so, to right and I could hear everything. Found out upon closer look that there are a few small ports on the back of the "stick" that lets the sound come out the back - amazing!

The 50M it worth every penny and so easy move and setup.
Rated 5/5

Excellent PA so far!

We've done lots of rehearsing with this PA (no gigs yet, but we are confident in its abilities) and are quite impressed! The sound is nice and clear, the mixer and app is well-designed and easy to use, and we love the option of expanding our setup with a second system in the future when necessary.
We quite like the channel presets in the mixer, and the effects sound lovely.
All in all, a really nice system.
BIG THANK YOU to Christie Timmons, our sales engineer, who helped make this and all prior purchases effortless and fantastic. Look her up if you're looking to buy something here. :)
