I appreciate the help so much loved the video

Great overview, Ben! Thank you for keeping us in the loop. :)

Wow! I've always LOVED EV, and that mixer plus the app are just amazing.

Thanks so much for this walkthrough with the app!! 🙏🏼

Great review, kept it interesting

Such a respectable piece of equipment sounds like a radio

This video is GOLD. Thank you

As a karaoke host this amazing piece of equipment is cutting down my set up time and lightening the load of multiple speakers I used

This is so badass. I’m a DJ who wouldn’t utilize this as much as a musician but I’m going to keep these on my radar.

I’m a DJ and I’ve been using Evolve 50s for a year now and I couldn’t be happier. They don’t throw quite as far as horn driven speakers but I keep getting compliments about how much my clients love the dance floor being loud but the audience area being not so loud.

Sounds great

Great review. Hopefully EV will release an updated version of the EVOLVE 30M with the Ethernet connections for those who don't require all the power and headroom of the 50M and require a smaller PA.

thanks so much for this tutorial!

well done!

This is where I’m at. I’m not advanced enough to be messing with the mixer but I absolutely love the sound of these. I’ve looked at the Ev 50 against the Maui LD 28. Still don’t know what one to get. The likelihood is I will use a kick drum and TC Helicon PA. Ok, I’m a musician on the fly so as less mixing would suit me !

Thanks for the video!

You're welcome!

I’d have to still recommend sticking with the Evolve 50s (older version) for gain controls and physical knobs make for quick adjustment on-the-go. Improvements are not always good. Eg JBL EON One Pro vs JBL EON One. The Pro has the rechargeable battery that inevitably dies and you can’t run off of AC power so once the battery dies you can either purchase a new one or it’s render useless.

Thanks for the video guys! If you link the two 50Ms, do you essentially double your channel inputs by adding the second unit?

sure do! just use an ethernet cable to link 'em up

I just got a pair of the 30s. I set one 30 to Left and the other to right. What's your recommendations for hooking up to a DJ controller with left and right XLR outputs? Left channel to line 1 of left speaker and right channel to line 2 of right speaker? does it make a differences?

1.What is the easiest setting to connect the EV to a house system? 2. Has anyone done a live audio recording direct from the pa? What is the easiest way?

I have the EVolve 50 not the M and I cannot get anything to come out of my external powered monitor. I have it hooked to the sub out. any suggestions? Thanks

I love my Evolve 50 but the Bluetooth reach on my unit is horrible. I think I have about 25 feet with any devise connected and it starts to cut out or break up. Is this normal?

Is it possible to connect in ear monitors directly to the evolve 50m?

can you use phantom powered mics with this system

If I currently have regular 50’s, do I just need 1 50m ? I am a Dj and musician.

I’m guessing the mixer function is Bluetooth not WiFi so limited distance? But either way a kick ass system that I’ll probably have to buy. :-)

@benstowe7433

That is correct. It’s a newer BT protocol so the distance is better than early BT devices, but I’d recommend staying within 50’.

What is the best way to add a Sub to the 50M?

I noticed you didn't talk about phantom power, although you mentioned it in the beginning. I just got a pair of these and was wondering if EV took out the phantom power feature in the Ms. I've been trying to find videos and literature about this and there's nothing that says that the 50M has the phantom power feature.. maybe there's something I'm missing?

I use one 30M for my solo act. I run keys, walk LH bass, drum machine and vocals with harmonizer. Sounds great and has been enough horse power for all gigs so far. Love the EV app on my iPad. The only switch I touch on the 30M is the power switch to turn it on, and of course plug in my gear. I have a pair of ZLX12Ps and a EKX 18P powered sub for more horse power if I need it...

So with the smart link cable, is that a cable connecting both of the speakers together as opposed to having a bluetooth link between them?

Correct. It allows for high resolution audio transfer with no latency. BT would be nearly impossible to mix with if it were used in that capacity.

How does it compare soundwise/bass performance with RCF Evox12?

How would rate this against the DB Tech es1203? Obviously the EV has more inputs, plus effects and tablet mixing BUT my question IS can the DB have better overall sound across the eq spectrum or something else which is also REALLY IMPORTANT??? …Great video btw and thanks!!!

Live musicians beware Evolve 50M: This mixer does not have the ability to set the gain on any of the channel preamps. The faders on a mixer do not have the same function as a gain control for the preamp. Gain adjusts the sensitivity of the source signal. I tested the EV50m and the fader "level control" does not affect the source signal at all. I turned the level control down on the app and mixer using the input level control and it had no effect on the signal level from the source. Ex. The source was clipping at 0db and after turning it all the way down, was clipping at -80db. Conversely, I have a high quality (SM7B) low output microphone. Turning the level control did nothing to increase the gain as the source input; the meters remained at the the same level no matter the volume. EV should be more transparent on the limitations of this system. I contacted EV Tech support who confirmed that there is really no gain control as indicated in the manual or in the advertisement.

In your opinion, How does the EV-50 does when it comes to connecting keyboards and listening through a pair of stereo headphones. The reason I asked was my keyboRd has stereo piano and organ samples. I want my P.A system to sound in stereo so that my audience can feel the music. An Example of what i'm talking about is feeling the tremolo in the organ, or hearing the residece in a pipe organ and tell the difference from where instruments are placed when using bluetooth to play a song from Iphone of Samsung Galaxy S 21 Ultra

Bellissimo ma prezzo proibitivo e non in linea col mercato , la tecnologia di oggi mette a disposizione circuiti molto sofisticati ad un costo irrisorio ...incomprensibile un costo di 1890 euro (scontato) per un solo diffusore EV 50 M....un RCF "evox jmix 8" con stesso mixer digitale e stesse funzioni del EV 50 M ..."Manca solo il collegamento fra due " evox jmix 8 " per raddoppiare il numero di canali " ma gia predisposto per il collegamento con un altro "evox j8 " ( versione senza mixer ) per una configurazione stereo o dual mono il tutto gestito da app. o dai controlli sul diffusore (piu' o meno simile al EV 50 M) ... prezzo di "RCF evox jmix 8" = 839 euro , prezzo di RCF evox J8 = 739 euro ....efficienza dichiarata da RCF =128 db per singolo diffusore !!! fatevi i conti .

Please DJs there is literally no reason to buy the evolve for DJing. Unless your mainly doing corporate stuff in office spaces.

I recommend the speaker for the room you play. But generally 10” powered EV tops and a single 15 sub under your booth/table. Also seriously invest in good stands to get the speakers over everyone’s head it’ll change how much volume you need. If your speakers have the angle pole cup even better you angle them down. That set is really versatile 10s have the almost the dispersion and more throw and a real sub will have much better lows. ELX 10p top ekx 15p sub. If your look for the clean aesthetic onstage flat stands and just add an additions flat weight to the base looks very nice and clean

really, wearing a mask for this presentation??? thanks for the info though

I purchased a new EV50m and received today. Both advertisement and manual indicate that this system has "independent channel gain controls." The user manual also indicates in 6.1 and directs the user to "adjust the input using the input gain control" but frustratingly, the manual does not indicate where to find the individual channels "input gain control." Your video also only indicated how to change the level of each channel, but not the gain sensitivity. Where is the input gain control located in the app or on the rear panel?
