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

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.

9 Troubleshooting

Problem Possible cause Action
1. No sound Amplifier Verify all the electronics are on, the signal routing is correct, the source is active; the volume is turned up, no channels are muted, etc. 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 problem and correct it. Observe proper polarity.
2. Intermittent
output such as crackling or distortion
3. Constant noise
such as buzzing hissing or humming
4. No sound
produced with microphone connected to INPUTS 1-4
5. Sound is
distorted front LED is OFF, LCD screen LIMIT is ON
Faulty connection Check all connections at amplifier and
loudspeakers to ensure they are all clean and tight. If the problem persists, check the wiring. See problem 1.
Defective source or other electronic device
Poor system grounding or ground loop
Microphone requires phantom power.
Input channel is muted or LEVEL is too low.
Excessive input level Reduce the input level or loudspeaker level to
Incorrect gain structure or source input (mixing console/ preamp) is overdriven
If noise is present, but no program material is playing, evaluate each component as necessary to isolate the problem. Most likely there is a break in the signal path.
Check and correct the system grounding, as required.
Ensure the microphone is connected to INPUTS 1-4. Phantom power is not available on INPUT 5/6.
Select the channel and verify the channel is not muted. If it is not muted, slowly increase the channel LEVEL until sound is produced.
prevent limit.
Verify level controls of the source are properly structured by using the VU meter indicator on the LCD screen. If the VU meter bar is solid or the system indicates CLIP or LIMIT, the input or source level is too high.
