EVOLVE 50 Portable Column System

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.

The device contains a BT module CYBLE-022001-00 which has been granted by FCC and IC, the FCC ID:WAP2001 and IC:7922A-2001. And module is assembled on the PRE PCB

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

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.

1.4 Notices

Old electrical and electronic appliances

Electrical or electronic devices that are no longer serviceable must be collected separately and sent for environmentally compatible recycling (in accordance with the European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive).

To dispose of old electrical or electronic devices, you should use the return and collection systems put in place in the country concerned.

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 50 portable column system 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 50 sets a new standard for portable

 

columnar systems.

 

EVOLVE 50 is designed to quickly and easily be transported and assembled. The three handle

 

design on the subwoofer and convenient included carry case 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 eight 3.5-inch neodymium drivers are directed using

 

custom-designed waveguides for consistent 120° coverage. The ported subwoofer enclosure

 

houses a 12-inch woofer that is supported by 18 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 50

 

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 50, 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 50 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.
