Low-profile PA with Standout Sound

The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 30M is a versatile, ultra-compact PA system that's perfect for small and medium-sized venues. Packing 1000-watts of power, the Evolve 30M 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 10" woofer, lightweight aluminum sub pole, and a column array with six 2.8" neodymium drivers. The Evolve 30M has a proprietary waveguide design that provides 120º of horizontal coverage and 40º 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 30M has enough functionality for almost 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 30M seeks to change that. Weighing almost 15 lbs. less than its predecessor, the Evolve 50, this PA tips the scales at just 44 lbs. To make transportation easy, the Evolve 30M 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 30M 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, 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 30 is a sonic powerhouse. The column array is loaded with six 2.8" neodymium high-frequency drivers and a proprietary waveguide that provides an impressive 120º of horizontal coverage and 40º of vertical coverage. The excellent sound quality and dispersion of the column array is paired with the raw power of the ported 10" subwoofer to produce up to 123dB SPL with a frequency response as low as 45 Hz. No matter where you're playing, you can rest assured that every inch of the venue receives the best sound possible.

Electro-Voice EVOLVE 30M Features:

  • 1,000-watt system packs a big punch
  • Collapsible design allows for compact storage and easy transport
  • Composite waveguides provide spacious coverage for the entire venue
  • Six column-arrayed HF drivers and 10" 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
  • Built-in Bluetooth connectivity allows you stream music seamlessly for intermission or backing tracks
  • QuickSmart mobile app provides powerful DSP and a variety of professional effects
  • Phantom power enables use with condenser microphones

Evolve 30

Absolutely love the Evolve 30 fro EV. Much more power than I was expecting and a lot more bottom end as well. I play outdoors quite a bit. Was worried about filling some space. No need to worry, this thing rocks. Easy set up, Bluetooth is on point. No complaints what so ever. Highly recommend this product.
Music background: Professional solo and band musican
Rated 5/5

Power, Features, Simplicity

I had a fairly compact, fully featured system with the Soundcraft ui16 at the center. If I was only doing sound for my band I'd still be using it. BUT I'm also the rhythm guitarist, one of the vocalist and MC. A pair of EV30M has simplified my life and reduced the setup/teardown time. Several local musicians attended our first show with the EV's on an outdoor stage and they, and a number of audience members commented on the clarity of our sound.
Our second show with these was outdoors also, with similar audience reaction. Many reviews mention the volume drop off at a distance. While this is true, it's also something that listeners specifically mention as something they APPRECIATE. "The sound is perfect because we can rock out on and near the dance floor and go back to the table/seating area and still hear the band but easily carry on a conversation.
Only negative; hoping for a software update that puts a "master" mute button at top level. You have to fart around to get to "system mute" which still doesn't (apparently) mute the Aux output, which is what our stage wedges are connected to.
Music background: Band manger, music marketing, songwriter (recorded by Pure Prairie League and blues produced by B.B. King), currently leader and chief cat herder for The Cliffnotes Band.
Rated 5/5

Fills a crowded room

I have to say I was skeptical that this would be enough sound. I play as a duo in crowded bars and we both looked at each other like holy crap this sounds better than the old rig with 2 speakers and a wedge. The app is super easy. Mixing board on my phone. Bluetooth any house music from my phone on set break. Now I only take one trip from the car. Crazy.
