The Evolve 50 column speaker system from Electro-Voice offers a compact PA system solution that is easy to transport and can be set up quickly, and has been on the market since 2017. Despite having small dimensions and weighing just 26kg, the system delivers a total power output of 1000W and, additionally, is equipped with an integrated mixer. A wide range of connection options, including high-performance Bluetooth streaming, complete the picture. The bundle includes the Soundcraft Ui12, which significantly expands the possibilities by offering for example effects or a separate monitor mix. Both the Evolve 50 and the Ui12 can be controlled via free apps for Android and iOS.
The 12” subwoofer and its eight 3.5” tweeters in array deliver a uniform frequency response between 43Hz and 20.000Hz (at -3dB). The Evolve 50 is thus ready for a wide range of PA applications and, thanks to its four presets, can be quickly and easily adapted to a wide variety of settings. Alongside a linear “Live Mode” for solo artists and small bands, two presets are customized for playing back recorded music and a further mode is ideally suited to the amplification of speech. The Soundcraft Ui12 is also a very compact mixing desk solution that is 4HU and 9.5“ in size, combining stage speaker, effect unit, router, and the actual mixing desk in one device and thus saving a lot of additional effort.
With the Evolve 50’s light weight, the speed with which it can be set up, and the wide coverage angle of 120° x 40° it provides all contribute to making it a flexible, compact PA system that is ideal for small bands, DJs, and even schools and other organisations. The four operating modes of the speaker and the extensive connection options of the Ui12 compact mixer round off the whole package. In addition to the eight XLR inputs, four of which are designed as XLR/TRS combo sockets, the user also has a stereo line input with cinch plugs. The connections for the sum signal and the two aux-outs can also be found on the front of the device, ensuring good accessibility at all times.
Electro-Voice was founded in 1927 and has been dedicated to building sound reinforcement systems and microphones since the 1930s. The firm, originally based in Indiana, USA, is considered one of the industry pioneers and has developed many new technologies still in use today. For example, their hum-cancelling coil was not only a milestone for microphone construction, but also was at the origin of the humbucker pickups still used in many guitars. In the long history of the company, Electro-Voice has constantly expanded its offer and today sells a wide range of products for sound reinforcement tasks from entry to professional levels.
The understated design, good portability, and aforementioned features make the bundle comprising the Electro-Voice Evolve 50 and the Soundcraft Ui12 an ideal system for users who are looking for a compact PA solution with advanced mixing functions. For small bands, a complete system can be set up and is ready for action in next to no time. Quickly set up the Evolve 50 and the Ui12, wire up all necessary inputs and outputs, and use the app to set the speaker to live mode. Now everything is ready to take care of the sound for the audience and the monitor mix. These tasks can even be done simultaneously, as up to ten smartphones or tablets can have access to the mixer at the same time.
