Just ordered mine. I'm also a solo acoustic performer in FL! I play a lot in Melbourne, Palm Bay, Vero, Cocoa, etc. Very helpful video, can't wait til it gets here.
Very nice, simple set-up. I'd like to hear what it sounds like with his periferal sound enhancement units. As is, it sounded real clear and distinct, but too dry and not rich. Might be good to have some fine sounding speaker units in a surround sound type of setup like theater sound.
You can actually use either one. The mix out will give you the same as what you're hearing from your mains. I believe the aux out will give you control over that specific monitor mix
I just got mine, unless I’m mistaken, in order for me to adjust my monitor via the auxiliary input, it will need to be an Electra voice, Bluetooth speaker, otherwise everything must be done manually?
I believe so. In my case for solo performances, I only use my EV floor monitor for certain gigs (I don't bother with it for the smaller venues). So I just need the main mix on my monitor. I think in a band situation, you may want to adjust the mix for the monitor mix, which in that case you may want to use a soundboard with the Evolve, especially if you have multiple monitoes for each band member. Hopefully that makes sense
Hi John, thank you for your enquiry. To handle your request appropriately, please can you specify your current location? Thanks - Ben, Electro-Voice Team.
This is everything that I need in a PA. I was looking at the cheaper Harbinger linearray speakers but with the built in effects and Bluetooth mixing capabilities of this thing it is definitely worth the money! So you never have issues with hearing yourself without monitors with this setup?
I started out with the harbinger 1000 myself, I loved the set up and dispersion but it could sound better. I upgraded to the EV 30m and it's night and day. I sound better, the sounds are more level through the room, and my open mic is so quick to set up. I'd recommend 30m if you are indoors gigging in normal rooms, 50m if you're primarily outside. I don't think there are any other upgrades on the market when you correlate sound and ease of set up
Hi Tim, thanks for your enquiry. Our portable speaker portfolio includes a complete lineup and will also include tripod-mounted speakers. You can check our portable speaker portfolio here: products.electrovoice.com/na/en/portable-speaker-families Many thanks - Peter, Electrovoice Team
Hi Tim, yes, this is my new setup! I had been using the EV ZLX 12BT speakers on stands, which are great. But the Evolve 50M has made my setup and tear down time much more convenient and also fits a lot better at my smaller venues that I play at.
Hi Mike, unfortunately we cannot provide “best settings” based on this description alone. A local sound technician would be required, who can make the specific adjustments on site depending on the multiple varying circumstantial factors. Thanks, we hope this helps. Clare- Electro-Voice Team
I've just bought one and I'm disappointed in two things. First, the FX are set in stone, meaning you can't adjust delay times, feedback times, etc. Second, the way the different FX are assigned to either FX 1 or FX 2 means you cannot create the very standard setup of a reverb on one and a delay on the other. That's like mixer FX basics, and you CAN'T do it because FX 2 is all chorus and flanger, and other stuff not often used at all. For goodness' sake @EV Official, use a firmware update to shift some reverbs across to FX 2!
