Electrovoice EV Evolve 50 Portable Column System, Black

Product Information

Positiv möchte ich auch den Abstrahlwinkel von 120° erwähnen, der egal wo man sich im Publikum befindet immer einen gleichmäßigen Klang ermöglicht.

The bi-directional aluminum pole’s connection to the subwoofer is secured using a magnet, and the column array is gravity-held to the sub pole. The signal is internally routed to the components. Ich habe mir extra einen Tag Zeit genommen, um direkt bei Thomann die "noch transportablen" Säulen-Systeme zu testen und zu hören. Designed to deliver an uncompromising combination of light weight, lowprofile looks, and superior ElectroVoice audio quality, the EVOLVE 50 sets a new performance standard for powered column systems.The ported sub that provides the foundation for the system is built from 0.75-inch ply and houses a 12-inch speaker protected by a perforated steel grille. Three handles are provided for ease of carrying, which is welcome as the sub weighs a hint over 20kg. All the amplifiers and mixing facilities are built into the sub and I’ll look at those in detail shortly. Column Inches A man wanted to do a Bob Dylan song (I forgot which one), when he was done, he looked at me and said "wow, I can actually hear the guitar and harmonica". Needless to say, he was impressed. And this was a song he's sang at other places. Apparently, those other speakers didn't bring out the details, harmonics, and nuances in the music like the Evolve 50 does.

Achtung: Die ersten 4 Mikro / Line Eingänge haben eine dauernde 15V Phantomspeisung per XLR; per Klinke liegt keine Phantomspannung an. EV says the lower phantom power is designed for the lower power requirements of condenser microphones, and restricted so it doesn’t blow up your mixer outputs if you happen to plug one in while phantom is on. It’s a fair enough call, but I still think if you’re going to have phantom power onboard, it may as well work. Rounding out the input section, the screen defaults to show input meters for all three channels. It’s a nice touch to see whether you’re peaking. TEETH TO IT Für einen normalen kleineren Konzertbetrieb (bis 50-100) Zuhörer ist eine EV Säule absolut ausreichend. Bei größeren Veranstaltungen werden wir unser zweites EV Säulensystem koppeln. Ich hatte vor Jahren schon mal die damalige Bose, Yamaha u.a. Säulen gehört und war gar nicht begeistert.When I added the second system and ran them as a stereo rig, I was convinced that I’d easily have enough level to run an average band gig in a club or pub. Unfortunately because of the remaining Covid restrictions at the time of testing I wasn’t able to find a live event for a proper road test, but I did take the two Evolve 50M units outside and run them at almost full chat for a while with a wide range of recorded material. The mids and top end carried well (over a mixture of hard standing and grass), and the balance stayed fairly constant over a reasonable distance. Even the two 12‑inch subs managed to keep up and pushed out a decent level, certainly more than I’d have expected given their size and weight, and the sub output level can be controlled independently for achieving the best sound balance. The only way to test PA systems is to use them for real, and I would have been very happy to take these along to a smaller‑scale gig and run a live band through them, but for the special circumstances. As a pair at front of house it’s a real miniature line‑array rig with a clear, powerful, focused sound... Es bietet uns eine gute Ausgangsposition für weitere „Soundexperimente“ mit dem eingebauten Dynacord Mixer und weiteren Mikros.

Aufbau - ist innerhalb von 1ner Minute erledigt. Keine extra Kabel vom Sub zur Säule nötig. Alle Anschlüsse gut zugänglich. If two units are SmartLinked and the ‘master’ system loses power, the ‘downstream’ one will be muted, and I found that when power is restored the second system remained muted until re‑linked. They can of course be linked with an XLR cable if you don’t trust these new‑fashioned digital things, but the mix output is still an active connection as it’s under the control of the first system’s mix settings. When powering on and off I could not produce any thumps or pops from the speakers even by pulling the mains plugs straight out — these are well‑behaved speakers. Final Thoughts Wir haben für unser Orchester mit ca. 20 Musikern eine leicht zu transportierende Anlage mit gutem Klang gesucht, welche ohne zusätzlichen Mischer auskommt. The system really did only take seconds to assemble, with the finished column feeling solid and stable — add a power lead and a signal input or two and you’re up and running. The mixer doesn’t include effects so most users will probably need to plug in an external mixer or voice processor, as I did for my live gig test, but if you’re happy to keep things clean and don’t need more than two mic inputs plus a music feed, then the built-in mixer works fine. Meine GLXD Receiver, sind laut Datenblatt immun und können auch direkt per XLR angeschlossen werden, wenn Phantomspeisung anliegt, ohne dass sie Schaden nehmen.I've seen him perform many times when I'm not performing and he usually performed with a Bose system (top of line) or QSC K-12.2s and a sub for larger gigs. Not on this day.

Die Ev Evolve 50 ist klanglich wirklich überragend. Sehr transparent ohne die Höhen zu sehr in den Mittelpunkt zu stellen. Auch die Wiedergabe im Mittenbereich war für ein Säulensystem einfach sehr gut. Instrumente sind differenzierbar und im Stereobetrieb auch gut ortbar. The Mix output sends a mix of all the channels, unless you reconfigure it via the DSP menu to do otherwise, whereas the Link-out XLR carries channel 1’s signal only. Bluetooth pairing for music streaming or app control is also handled via the DSP menu, and the app will only respond if one or more Evolve 50 systems are within range with their Bluetooth turned on. The iPad version of the app is free from the iTunes App Store and requires iOS version 10 or above. A version for Android Marshmallow (and above) tablets and smartphones is available from the Google Play Store. Operation High and mid frequencies are handled via an 825mm-tall aluminium column housing eight 3.5-inch neodymium-cone drivers. The bottom third of the column is angled downwards to ensure even coverage near the front. The geometry of the column provides a 120 x 40-degree (horizontal x vertical) dispersion pattern to concentrate the sound where it is most needed. A handle is built into the rear of the column and both the column and its 929mm support pole are supplied in a robust, zip-up carry case that also provides room for cables. When loaded, the bag weighs under 8kg. All the controls are integrated into the mixer section, which includes DSP for setting the voicing, making key adjustments and, in multi-speaker systems, entering any necessary delay to compensate for a maximum of 100 metres of spacing. A simple one-knob/turn-and-press system is used to navigate and adjust the DSP parameters.Ich nutze bisher 2 Systeme um Hochzeiten, Gospelkonzerte oder kleinere Bandauftritte zu realisieren. Legendary EV audio quality via eight 3.5‑inch full‑range neodymium drivers and a 12‑inch subwoofer, powered by a three‑channel amp for high output. Cutting‑edge components and tuning provide full‑sized sound in a super‑streamlined, plug‑and‑play format. Wide, Even Coverage Lange habe ich mich geweigert, Säulensysteme ernsthaft für eine Neuanschaffung in Sachen PA in Erwägung zu ziehen.
