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.
Designed to deliver a step up in sound quality and set a new performance standard for
compact column speaker systems - EVOLVE 30M is perfect for solo musicians, small groups,
mobile entertainers and smaller venues that need an easy-to-use, highly portable and
lightweight system with extraordinary coverage and output for its size. EVOLVE 30M comes
ready to go with speaker array, symmetrical aluminum pole connectors with internal wire
assembly and magnetically assisted latching, subwoofer, and included pole/array carry case all designed to pack up compactly, set up and tear down quickly, look great on stage, and
withstand real-world wear and tear.
Professional-grade EV-engineered components and build quality - The full-range column array
and its six 2.8” neodymium drivers provide room-filling ultra-wide 120° coverage via customdesigned waveguides; array-formed 40° asymmetrical vertical coverage ensures acoustic
output is directed towards both sitting and standing audience members. The array enclosure
is constructed from a durable composite material and incorporates an ergonomic aluminum
handle. Four tuning ports are located on the rear of the enclosure for acoustic optimization. A
10” subwoofer is housed in a 15 mm wood enclosure with a high-efficiency laminar-flow vent
design, for enhanced rigidity and acoustical performance. The Class-D amplifier provides up to
1000 W of output power: 500 W to the subwoofer and 500 W to the column array. The
speakers are protected by a black powder-coated 18 ga. steel grille. Combined, these
components generate a genuinely stunning performance to size ratio - an elegant form factor
that looks as good as it sounds.
The most extensive feature set in its class - The EVOLVE 30M has an integrated full-function
and fully programmable eight-channel digital mixer with multiple inputs (4x XLR/TRS combo
line/mic inputs, 1x XLR/TRS stereo line input, 1x RCA, 1x 3.5 mm stereo, 1x Hi-Z instrument
input, wireless Bluetooth® Audio Input), and professional-grade preamps and mixer functions all designed in collaboration with the world-class mixer engineering team at EV’s sibling brand
Dynacord. For the performing musician, Hi-Z and foot switch inputs are included for flexible
system configuration, and a range of onboard studio-quality effects (30 presets, including
chorus, delay, flange and reverb, via two FX channels) add myriad options for finessing your
sound. This reduces set-up time - and on-stage clutter - by minimizing the need for external
equipment such as a mixer and effects pedals, which also makes loading in and out of the
venue quicker. High-resolution, low-latency Bluetooth®* streaming ensures exceptional results
for music playback or accompaniment.

System protection
System protection limiters indicate when a system is exceeding recommended usage by
indicating CLIP or LIMIT on the LCD display.
CLIP
CLIP indicates the signal to the loudspeaker is too high, resulting in a clipped signal into the
loudspeaker. If CLIP is shown, reduce the input gain and/or the signal on the mixer or source
equipment.
LIMIT
LIMIT protects the loudspeaker from short-term peaks which can cause distortion. When
LIMIT is shown small on the screen, the limiter is active but keeps distortion under control.
The large LIMIT indicates the sound is negatively affected. Reducing the output volume
(MASTER VOL) is strongly recommended when the large limit indication is shown.

6 Mixer operation
6.1 Inputs 1-4, 5/6 & 7/8
INPUT LEVEL control
Control for adjusting a LINE/MIC or line input’s sensitivity. These controls let you adjust the
incoming signals to the mixer’s internal operation level. The following gain setting instruction
is to be used as a guide to help achieve a good signal input level:
Set the MASTER volume controls to -80 dB.
Set the INPUT LEVEL control to -80 dB.
Connect the sound source (microphone, instrument, etc.) to the desired LINE/MIC input.
Start the sound source at the highest volume level to be expected - respectively sing or speak
as loudly as possible directly (close up) into the microphone.
While playing the sound source or singing into the microphone, adjust the input level using the
INPUT GAIN control, so that during the loudest part, the CLIP does not show. Then increase
the MASTER VOL until the desired output from the column is achieved. This is the basic
channel setting.
If further adjustments to the channel’s EQ setting are necessary, perform these steps again, as
changes in the sound shaping section also have an influence on the channel’s overall level.
TREBLE/MID/BASS controls
The input channel’s EQ section allows for a broad difference in the shaping of the incoming
audio signal within three frequency bands. Before you begin to alter the sound, all EQ controls
should be set to 0. Try not to set the EQ controls to extreme positions. Usually, minor changes
are sufficient to produce the best results in the overall sound. Use the natural reproduction as
a starting point and rely on your musically trained ear. The moderate use of the MID control is
the best remedy to avoid acoustical feedback. Try to avoid using this frequency range to an
extreme level. Lowering the level in this band will provide you with higher output and help
reduce feedback. Adjust the BASS control to add more “punch” to the sound of a kick drum or
“body” to the vocals. Use the TREBLE control in the same way to provide cymbals and vocals
with more treble for a more transparent sound.
FX1 & FX2 control
The FX1 & FX2 control is used to set the amount of effect you require on that channel. Using
the FX controls lets you easily assign an effect for groups of musical instruments or vocals. To
determine the desired level of the effect, start with the controls set at their minimum and
individually increase the level gradually until the desired sound is achieved.
This switch turns the internal FX unit on or off. Please keep in mind that you can also use an
external footswitch for turning the FX1 & FX2 on or off. If you want to use a footswitch, the
EVOLVE 30M is preconfigured to control FX on/off with a footswitch, requiring no additional
configuration.
AUX control
The AUX control is primarily meant for establishing an independent mix, e.g. for monitor or a
second room/zone. The individual channel AUX controls will determine the amount of each
channel's signal present at the AUX output.
COMP control
During operation, the input signal processing can be adjusted by using the COMP control to
control the on board compressor. Compressors are available on INPUTS 1-4. Adjust the
COMPRESSOR threshold and compression ration simultaneously using the COMP adjustment.
As the COMP control is adjusted from 0 to 100, the gain below the threshold will increase
from 0 to 10 dB and the compression ratio will increase from 1:1 to 1:8. The compressor will
reduce the dynamic range of the audio signal proportional to the compressor setting. Once
Electro-Voice User manual 2019-12 | 03 | F.01U.381.064
30 en | Mixer operation EVOLVE Portable Column Loudspeaker
the signal exceeds a certain threshold, the signal gets compressed, i.e. major input level
changes result in minor output level changes. Narrowing the dynamic range often allows for
easier recording or mixing the audio signal. It is recommended to start with low to moderate
levels of compression (25-40) and increase slowly if necessary.

Correct/repair/replace as necessary. If there is
still no sound, the problem may be wiring.
Wiring Verify you have connected the correct cables to
the amplifier. Play something at a low level
through the amplifier. Connect a test
loudspeaker in parallel with the malfunctioning
line. If the sound level is gone or is very weak,
the line has a short in it (possibly a severe
scrape, pinch, or a missed connection). Using
the test loudspeaker, move down the line and
test each connection/junction until you find the
