1.1Suspension
Warning!
Read and fully understand this manual and all safety instructions before attempting to
suspend the loudspeaker.
Warning!
Suspending any object is potentially dangerous and should only be attempted by individuals
who have a thorough knowledge of the techniques and regulations of suspending objects
overhead. Electro-Voice strongly recommends that loudspeakers be suspended taking into
account all current national, federal, state, and local laws and regulations. It is the
responsibility of the installer to ensure all loudspeakers are safely installed in accordance
with all such requirements. When loudspeakers are suspended, Electro-Voice strongly
recommends the system be inspected at least once per year or as laws and regulations
require. If any sign of weakness or damage is detected, remedial action should be taken
immediately. The user is responsible for making sure the wall, ceiling, or structure is capable
of supporting all objects suspended overhead. Any hardware used to suspend a loudspeaker
not associated with Electro-Voice is the responsibility of others.
Safety point
As an added safety measure, Electro-Voice recommends the user install and secure the
secondary auxiliary support cable to a different structural support point. This safety point
should have as little slack as possible (less than 25mm/1in. is preferable).
1.2Notices
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.

3Introduction
Thank you for choosing an Electro-Voice wall mount kit for your EVOLVE column speaker
system. Please take time to consult this manual to understand all the features and
requirements of the EVOLVE Wall Mount Kit. This is necessary to ensure proper use of the wall
mount kit and to provide the highest level of acoustic performance, reliability and safety.
Electro-Voice strongly recommends that loudspeakers be suspended taking into account all
current national, federal, state and local laws and regulations. Suspending any object is
potentially dangerous. Only individuals who have thorough knowledge of the techniques and
regulations of suspending objects overhead should attempt to suspend loudspeakers.
The Electro-Voice EVOLVE Wall Mount Kit provides users the flexibility to mount the EVOLVE
column speaker remotely from the subwoofer and without the distance pole. This provides a
safe method for mounting the column speakers higher than the distance pole allows and
remote locating the subwoofer for aesthetic or acoustic purposes. The installation can be
permanent with the wall mount bracket, or temporary to a truss with the truss mount kit.
The wall mount kit is available in both black and white colors to match the EVOLVE columns
speaker system and the venue. Both permanent installation friendly Phoenix-style connectors
internal to the adapters and easy to use NL4 adapters are available in each color.
The truss mount kit allows the EVOLVE column to be clamped to trusses when needed and is
available with NL4 adapters.

4Wiring and installation
The EVOLVE-WMK is used to suspend EVOLVE 30M , EVOLVE 50 and EVOLVE 50M column
speakers remotely from the subwoofer and without the distance pole.
Warning!
The EVOLVE-WMK is designed to only suspend EVOLVE 30M , EVOLVE 50 and EVOLVE 50M
column speakers (maximum 11lbs/5kg load weight). Do not use to suspend any other
loudspeakers or additional equipment.
For safety, ensure the mounting surface supports more than the weight of the speaker. Use
only industry-accepted fasteners and mounting methods when mounting the wall bracket.
Consult an expert if you are unsure.
Caution!
It is the installer's responsibility to determine and use the proper mounting hardware for the
wall construction type.
Disregarding this caution could result in damage to the product and personal injuries may
occur.
Caution!
It is the installer's responsibility to determine and use properly rated truss clamps with truss
system.
Disregarding this caution could result in damage to the product and personal injuries may
occur.
Notice!
If the loudspeaker installation will be delayed, cover it with the paint shield/dust shield.

4.1Wiring the EVOLVE column
The process of wiring the EVOLVE column is different depending on the connection type of the
wall mount kit, as described in this section.
To wire the EVOLVE column to the column speaker adapter:
EVOLVE-WMK-NB / EVOLVE-WMK-NW / EVOLVE-TM-B
–Connect the cable using an NL4 connector to the corresponding NL4 connector on the
column speaker adapter.
EVOLVE-WMK-PB / EVOLVE-WMK-PW
1.Remove the four screws that attach the upper housing of the column speaker adapter to
the lower housing.

2.Strip back each individual wire’s insulation to leave approximately 6mm of bare wire
exposed.
3.Twist the wire ends to prevent individual strands from separating.
4.Insert the bare wire into the input terminal connector.
Make sure no excess bare wire is exposed beyond the terminal connector. The connector
must clamp down on the bare wire, not the wire insulation.
5.Install the rubber grommet on the cable and attach the Phoenix-style connector to the
wire. Connect the positive wire to the pin marked with a "+", and the negative wire to the
pin marked with a "-".
6.Plug the connector into the lower housing of the column speaker adapter.
7.Attach the strain relief clamp using TR20 screws.
8.Replace the upper housing of the column speaker adapter onto the set.

The subwoofer amplifier input cover is included with the EVOLVE-WMK to provide protection
from dust and occasional light moisture, such as splashes. The cover will also block the light
from the LCD display when needed.
Warning!
Do not use the subwoofer amplifier input cover outdoors in wet or damp environments. The
cover does not protect the amplifier from rain.
To install the subwoofer amplifier input cover:
1.Wrap the cloth around the handle of the subwoofer.
2.Attach the hook and loop.

ProblemPossible CausesAction
No SoundAmplifierConnect a known working test speaker to the amplifier outputs. If
there is no sound, check all electronics are on, the signal routing is
correct, the source is active; the volume is turned up, and so on.
Correct/Repair/Replace as necessary. If there is sound, the problem is
in the wiring.
WiringVerify you have connected the correct wire pairs to the amplifier. Play
something at low level through the amplifier (for example, from a CD
player or tuner). Connect the test speaker in parallel with the
malfunctioning line. If the sound has gone or is very weak, the line has
a short in it (possibly a severe scrape, pinch, or staple puncture). If
the sound level is normal the wire is open (possibly a cut wire or
missed connection). Using the test speaker, move down the line and
test each connection/junction until you find the problem and correct
it. Observe proper polarity.

If the subwoofer input panel is not correctly wired, there will be little

When two speakers are connected out of polarity (out of phase), the
low frequencies will cancel each other acoustically. Carefully observe
the wire markings or tracers on your speaker wires. Verify the
amplifier (+) terminal is connected to the red speaker terminals and
the amplifier (-) terminal is connected to the black speaker terminals.
Using a test speaker as described above, verify all amplifier and
speaker wires are connected to their proper terminals with the correct
polarity. Reversing just one set of amplifier wires can cut out all bass
output from the subwoofer.
clean and tight. If the problem persists, it may be in the amplifier or
wiring. See other actions above.
If the noise is present but no program material is playing, the likely
cause is the signal chain in the electronics. Evaluate each component
as necessary to isolate the problem.
Check and correct the system grounding, as required.
