EVOLVE 50 | DJ REVIEW 

Yes indeed that also made me laugh out loud! He's got a great sense of humour and his intense sarcasm is right up my alley!

@@madness8556 I saw a Tshirt once,, " Im not a Gynecologist but i will have a look " hhahahhaha

Nailed it. Personal preference is a huge factor here.

Hey did you ever try the sun with the evolves cause I did that with the JBL eons and they sounded pretty good

@@DJLEOdamadprofessor Yes I did. You can see me doing that on one of my videos of me gigging at the Kickapoo Casino. It sounded very good at moderate volume levels but when I pushed the system to high levels, the EV-50S could not keep up with my QSC KS118 sub.

@@DJ2Legit007 absolutely it shouldn’t be able to keep up!

Sub*

Great way to look at them. They can't do everything, so have a plan for those bigger spaces.

Love it

Thanks!

You're all set, and now you got that killer DJ table 😉

Donny Collins... dude that is exactly the same rig I use on 90% of my gigs! It's my "go to" rig. I completely agree with you. This rig gets the job done and then some!!! Bass in your face for days and the tops really throw sound far.

@@AaronStrawn APE MAXI 2.0 6 pack out for delivery TODAY! Yippee!!!!

@@donnycollins1797 duuude, you're going to love them

Thanks for letting me use your 50 Steve!

@@AaronStrawn glad you liked it. 🙂

I'd love to get my hands on a pair of Maui 42s or the 22's

@@AaronStrawn you mean a pair of 44s or 28s?😂😂😂😂

@@madness8556 lol.. I’m not great with all these damn numbers!

@@AaronStrawn I love your satire and humour when you do your videos.

I think preference is 80%. They def have the evidence to back up that they get the job done

Have you tried the PRX ones with the subs I strongly considering gettting the prx ones as the eon mk2 just are at there limit and I’d like to have a tad more headroom

@@DJLEOdamadprofessor Honestly, they sound good without subs. If it’s a large room and over 140 people then I may go with the subs and tops system.

@@MrJFunkSanchez yeah I’m pretty sold on the prx ones. They tick every box for me. I’m just got offload these eon mk2 s first

I'm very interested in hearing the 44's or even the 22s

@@AaronStrawn They blow my EV50's away in every way but weight🤔 But my EV50's will still most of my weddings as most wedding don't need that kind of night club sound.

I am in the exact same boat as you buddy!!! I have a pair of 30M's and now considering getting the 50's for slightly larger events and venues. How would you compare the 2 systems? And how do they all sound together?

@@ashlengovender they sound amazing. If you have the money, get a pair of the 50s as well. If you love the 30s then naturally you'll love 50s too. Having a matching set is awesome. So easy to setup and use. The 30s have punchier base but the 50s hit harder and obviously go louder. I don't think you'll have any regrets.

@@MrCDOAN Awesome. And yes I can agree on the compliments, I also receive alot of those from clients and other service providers. They even say the evolves sound so much better than other DJ's traditional setups that get way too loud and noisy and not as clear sounding 😄

Agree, I add an EV ELX12-SP sub to my EV30 and it transforms the bass!

I think they're pretty close. Biggest advantage for the RCF is the ability to move the top and it packs into one piece. EV has a great sounding mic. My pic is the J8. See if you can go and listen to them, and pick the one YOU like the best

I have heard both and the EV50 is better the J8 is more in line with the 30, between the J8 and the 30 I would say get the J8.

That would be killer

do you think a bose sub 1 would work well?

I think these would peak pretty quick with a band. If you want to do a column- look at either the Bose 32s with sub 2 or RCF Evox 12s (pair of each). Just my opinion!

I know a lot of other DJs that have the EVs and when they are in bigger rooms bring extra subs. For the dance, that should do it. For speeches, you might need a remote speaker in the back of the room to help with coverage. Hope this helps!

RCFs are my pick. Bass boost and being able to spin the top, sets them above the 50s in my opinion

@@AaronStrawn nice - thank you- 👍

Totally agree

Gotta get my hands on these and I will!

I have had both, and returned the ev50’s. The JBL’s are superior to the EV in every measurable way, except for the look (which is subjective). Honestly if you’re on the fence get the JBLs. If you already have the EV and it’s too late to return them, it’s a tough call whether it’s worth the upgrade. It depends how much cash you’ll get for your used ev50’s.

@@Realdjheisenberg I've recently purchased the prx one. Impressive mids/highs using the eq. I found the sub at zero is OK near 60/70% volume. After that the limiter led start to flash. It's not exactly a "flashing" like other system.... It stays on for 1 second, turn off 4 second... Other system I had the limiter led is very quick, this one is different. I need to understand the limiter option in the app but I think for play music at high volume it's needed to keep high pass filter 40 hz and bass - 5db

I'm shooting that video tomorrow!

@@AaronStrawn Perfect! I’ll keep an eye out for that video. I did purchase 2 BOSE L1 Pro 16s for my 2022 wedding season and will try them out for the first time on April 30th 🔊🔊

@@AaronStrawn Bose better be better! You can get two EV50s for the Bose Pro32/Sub2 Price. EV has the cleaner PA like high end which I like. Bose has the smoother mids EV lacks and some people say is less fatiguing. Sub2 will have lower and more powerful bass. Bose 180 degree throw is superior to EV. Bose has less stage volume and won't blast those tables up front. My hearing is worth the extra $$$!

@@AaronStrawn hi ! Where is the video for compare vs Bose pro32 ?? Thank you :)

You're right, they've been around for a while. I never got to hear them in person and I know so many DJs use them. I was curious how they hold up. I love all the options we have now, and there are def improvements to each new speaker that comes out.

@@AaronStrawn do yourself a favor, return them and get the PRX’s instead and a couple of Ape Labs with the money you just saved; and see (or rather hear) for yourself how much better they are. My only beef with the PRX’s is their look. They look plasticky and cheap compared to the German EV. But then again so do American cars next to German cars….!

@@Realdjheisenberg I know it’s hard to believe but I didn’t buy them lol. Friend let me borrow them to check them out. First time ever lol. I’ve seen the PRX in person and agree. Didn’t love the look, but I didn’t get to hear them

@@AaronStrawn I would like to have your opinion.. In November, I bought a JBL PRX ONE to have a smaller kit than my bose F1. I found the size interesting etc but I was curious to try a Bose L1 pro16. However not available in my area, I ordered on the internet. I unpacked it, connected it to my Denon DJ and wow.. I don't understand people who say that the JBL PRX ONE smashes everything. I did a lot of testing with a DB meter and also a UMIK-1 - Acoustic Measurement calibration microphone. i have less DB with PRX ONE vs the Bose L1 pro16 , Yes the JBL PRX ONE has more little more treble a little above 16khz but the sub and mid do not follow the rest at full speed like the Bose. I now have 2 Bose L1Pro16 and I could not return the JBL, the merchant did not want it and I am not able to sell it... unless I lose $1000

@@DavidB_AudioTech bro, if you’re happy than you’re good to go! I still think that Bose has the upper hand with the 180 degree dispersion

This one is the 50

It's only a 12" sub, I'd probably look at something bigger for that style of music

@@AaronStrawn I agree, so could I supplement it with two (cheaper end) EV 18” active subs?

@@Mr.Oblivian Yes, that's the solution!

@@WWeiss-nv5vz hell yea. So the top end and mids sound okay, just need some strong low end supplementation?

@@Mr.Oblivian Almost, EV is known for having a very clean high end that stays clean near its max volume. Mids are lacking to a certain extent. Some people think this PA type sound can be fatiguing after awhile. If you want smooth mids, less fatiguing but without the super clean highs, Bose Pro 16/Pro32 is the answer. If you have the $$$ the Bose Pro 32/Sub2 really thumps for the kind of music you are describing. I am a live drummer and the Bose Sub2 hits the lowest/ 37Hz of most 15" and below subs. 18" subs is another story!

What do you do about the lack of crossovers in the evolves? Just turn the bass down.

@@DJLEOdamadprofessor Yeah. I just use them to supplement. I never even get the sub all the way up.

@@KarlKnutson0615 okay yeah I’ve use the JBL mk2s with my EV sub it was able to do a 125 person Bar with not much to spare. But the bass was epic. And the highs sounded good just no more headroom was available

Very comparable. I like the mic sound of the EV better, but pretty much a toss up

No it won't. Column arrays have a long list of other advantages.

Do you mean sound harsh at loud volumes? Yes you are correct this EV will not do that. I should know, I owned both. I sold my K12.2 a little over a month ago.

@@mghattendorf Everybody's ears are different. I have the QSC K8.2 and have never heard harshness at loud volume. Then again I never play them anywhere near their max 127dB. Also love my EV. Actually both EV and QSC have a similar sound signature, clean highs/missing mids.

Believe me, I'm not sponsored by anyone lol

@@AaronStrawn lol, I know I'm just picking on you, I've seen enough of your videos to know. keep em dancing.

RCF TT515 / TT 808 way over priced unless you NEED RD NET. My TT10 over 702 sub will outperform that rig for less $$$.

@@WWeiss-nv5vz Yeah I see they are as much as the bose 32 sub2 system. I do not need rd net. I like the bose look more than the RCF TT series for weddings.

@@djerniet350 the 515 tops over some sub705 or sub905 would be killer. The 808 is a little too weak from the early reviews I am seeing.

I've heard they are solid. Hoping to get a chance to see them in person

@@AaronStrawn only bad part is due to supply chain issues I can’t get the bags for them. Btw keep up the great videos! A must watch!!

@@brianpark5117 thanks bro!

lmao!

No

I no bro I was juste kidding how you doing man hope you doing good so how you been bro long time man I saw you on nick spenealiy show bro that was good

This guy knows I got spares lol

Curious to see what do you use ??

@@EricArbour- check my channel. Typically for weddings an RCF 18” and K10.2s but my setup varies based on the size

I'm gonna go through your backlog, I'll find some lol

Many people say the same about QSC speakers, it all comes down to preference.

@@DJSolstice Your "OLD" tech system can't compare to the new modern Arrays in many ways. Of course judged by sound and price RCF/QSC kicks but!!

For larger events, do you use only One Bose 32 ? If it's 2, can you tell me if just one Bose 32 can handle small venue or you need to have always 2 speakers in all places you do . Thanks and advance for your time to respond. I am looking to buy one Bose 32 for starting and try to have a realistic idea of my limits in terms of that speaker do the job.

@@EricArbour- I always use 2 speakers

@@EricArbour- I’ve done some smaller weddings with just one 32/sub 2

@@AaronStrawn I really need you or someone explain to me about the sound mono vs stereo with the Pro32. What do you lose as mono ? When using just one, you feel it's mono or no one seems to hear the difference ? thanks for the time you take to answering me..

In what way do the EV30 sound better than the EV50?
