Notice!
This product has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This product generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this product does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: —Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. —Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. —Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. —Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Please take attention that changes or modification not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance 20cm between the radiator and your body. ce matériel est conforme aux limites de dose d'exposition aux rayonnements, FCC / CNR-102 énoncée dans un autre environnement.cette eqipment devrait être installé et exploité avec distance minimale de 20 entre le radiateur et votre corps.
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radioexempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.

1.3 Precautions

If an Electro-Voice loudspeaker is used outdoors on a sunny day, place the loudspeaker in a shaded or covered area. The loudspeaker amplifiers have protection circuits that temporarily shut the loudspeaker off when extremely high temperatures are reached. This can happen on hot days when the loudspeaker is in direct sunlight.
Do not use Electro-Voice loudspeakers in an environment where temperatures are below 0°C (32°F) or exceed +35°C (95°F).
Never expose an Electro-Voice loudspeaker to rain, water, or high moisture.
Electro-Voice loudspeakers are easily capable of generating sound pressure levels sufficient to cause permanent hearing damage to anyone within normal coverage distance. Caution should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to sound pressure levels exceeding 90 dB.

3 Description

Thank you for choosing an Electro-Voice portable column system. Please take time to consult the manual to understand all the features built into your EV system and fully utilize its performance capabilities. The EVOLVE portable column loudspeaker is a new entry and form factor in the Electro-Voice portable sound portfolio. Designed to deliver an uncompromising combination of low-profile aesthetics and superior audio performance, the EVOLVE sets a new standard for portable columnar systems.
EVOLVE is designed to quickly and easily be transported and assembled. The compact design of the subwoofer and convenient included carrying bag for the sub pole and column array provide minimal resistance to getting excellent, professional sound anywhere you need it. Installation is made easier via the symmetrical aluminum subwoofer pole with an integrated wire assembly. The connection is secured by the magnetic assisted latching system, which magnetically locks the sub pole in place.
The full-range column array and its six 2.8-inch drivers are directed using custom-designed waveguides for consistent 120° coverage. The ported subwoofer enclosure houses a 10-inch woofer that is supported by 15 mm wood for enhanced stiffness and acoustical performance. The Class-D amplifier provides up to 1000 watts of output power: 500 watts to the subwoofer and 500 watts to the column array. The input panel features EV's industry-leading QuickSmartDSP interface—allowing intuitive navigation of system parameters via an LCD with single-knob control—as well as multiple options for signal routing and inputs.
The new Electro-Voice QuickSmart Mobile application utilizes Bluetooth® Low Energy (BTLE) technology for the wireless configuration, control, and monitoring of up to six EVOLVE systems simultaneously. High-resolution Bluetooth® audio streaming adds convenience for wireless music playback in breakout rooms, intermission, and musical accompaniment. Bluetooth® is available in select countries.
Electro-Voice quality and testing procedures far exceed the industry norm to yield efficient and effective electro-acoustic performance; this creates components that deliver an accurate, linear response at the system’s highest output levels. When applied to EVOLVE, this engineering philosophy results in a system that brings a new sonic benchmark to the column speaker segment, all packaged in a sleek and portable enclosure that blends into the background in any application from a lounge to a wedding reception.

3.1 System features

– EV QuickSmart Mobile application: quickly and wirelessly configure, control, and monitor
up to six EVOLVE systems simultaneously, and receive immediate notification during critical performance conditions. Bluetooth® connectivity is available in select countries.
– High-quality Bluetooth® audio streaming for background music or musical
accompaniment. Bluetooth® connectivity is available in select countries.
– Ultra-wide 120° horizontal coverage via custom-designed waveguides and array-formed
40° asymmetrical vertical coverage means all acoustical energy is directed towards both sitting and standing audiences.
– Ideal for portable applications. Light weight and intuitive assembly via the magnet
assisted sub pole make a quality performance easier than ever.
