Superb! Called in at Music Gear Direct today to get a demo of the Evolve 30m... Ollie knows this tower system inside out and was brilliant and patient in explaining all the intricacies of it... I come from a background of big heavy speakers/stands and a big peavey mixer so was unsure if the 30m would have the sound I wanted... I took my tablet with a couple of backing tracks on it and plugged it in... WOW WOW WOW! What a sound, I was worried (after reading some reviews) that the bass might sound a bit thin... NOPE the bass was thumping. I walked to the back of the room to listen and made my mind up to buy there and then. For all you guys asking why there's no review of the sound/reverb, it would be pointless to let you hear it via your phone speaker, even through headphones. Go to your music store and crank one of these babies up, you will not regret it. As for Music Gear Direct, the guys there really know their stuff.. we left feeling more like friends than customers. Thanks Ollie and Rich.. Steve
This controller and the ILS system is way over hyped. First the unit itself is way oversized... it has a huge footprint and oversized controls. For as big as this thing is, you'd think they could have selector buttons that weren't incorporated into the jog wheel. It's difficult to use the wheel without accidentally selecting menu items. The jog wheels are also cumbersome to use. They should gone with a joystick instead. There is no physical manual. You must have online access for the pdf. Instructions are very limited. You must again have online access and hunt down videos to get instructions on how to get this thing to work with your devices. You pay more for the devices that are supposed to work with this system...only they don't really work until you spend more for the d-fi mods for each unit. The chase patterns are limited. Especially if you are going to use this with a 4bar or additional pars. Only 6 presets? Yeah, for the money this whole system seems poorly executed.
I'm hearing from several sources that the TS3 series sounds better, and gets louder. Anyone can say "2500 watts of power!" But 900 watts peak/450 watts continuous) to a tiny little tweeter? Ridiculous/false. They decreased the voicecoil size of the speakers. trying to cut corners. TS4: more gimmicks, less power/robustness. I'd rather have it the other way around. I'm not going to use Bluetooth (that you can't even send to a subwoofer with the mix output) for a professional gig. :)
These instructions are very good and far more comprehensive than the Chauvet user manual. I was having problems with programs 29-35 which are Master/Slave specific programs. These programs are designed so that patterns on the three slaves follow the master consecutively instead of in unison. If you set the slave sticks to SLA1, SLA2 & SLA3, SLA 1 copies the Master exactly, SLA2 & SLA3 follow on. If you number the slaves SLA2, SLA3, SLA4 the master leads and the slaves follow in a pulsating manner. I think this is what Chauvet intended and this video and the Chauvet manual can be improved.
Great video. All I needed to know about my 30M. I'm a solo performer, but I'm thinking of using the 30M for an occasional duo. Can I use one unit for a duo with 2 acoustic guitars and 2 mics without damaging the unit? It'll be in a small indoor venue and volume will be in the lower end. Thanks.
This is perfect for that application. I've got great clear sounds from this already in my room for vocal and acoustic guitar. Can't wait to try it at my first gig Friday. It's plenty loud for an acoustic application as far as I can tell so far.
Unmatched performance, really!!! I guarantee an MA5002VZ will piss all over these amps. As class D amps, they need a 36 month warranty. Old school Crown are the real Crown amps.
This is all great, but my issue is everytime I leave the app, and come back to it, everything I did is lost. Also, when I turn off the power, and turn it back on later, the volume is blasting! Do you have to turn the volume down "before" shutdown? How to save what you have entered so it's not lost? Thanks for any answers.
This really helps understand the hookup and mix. Recently working solo again. Luckily I have a small gig that I can work out some bugs. First night I went straight into an older QSC K10, no effects other that acoustic through Paasac. Next week, I brought a 12" Mackie Thrash and hauled in my 12ch mixer, overkill, too heavy for solo. I purchased the Ev30m, 1 gig and I personally love it. I've still got some tuning to do and it really needs a bag/cover for hauling the sub. Little heavy, glad its not the 50. Response across the board, awesome, best sound yet, to, "I liked the Thrash set-up you had" to "little loud Gary!" perfect. I tried to do an in the trenches setup video, but didn't turn out very well. Maybe I'll try the video again.
It’s a software thing under development this console isn’t really show ready yet but is definitely getting there with the software updates were getting
Are you able to control different lighting fixtures separately.. let’s say I want one par to be red and the other par to be blue or one moving head to behave differently than the other? The colors on ILS command board are we limited to select those colors only how can we mix and choose other colors? Thank you!
@@sazprodj hi! You can’t set them to do different things, but you can create a 4 colour chase with the macro buttons and customise what colours you’d like it to scroll through, The auto mode has some bits where the two pads are different colours tho 😊
