I've been using this type of system for years. Been through the Bose systems, the Turbosound systems, and the LD Systems. This EV 30M finally has the feature set that I've been wanting and missing. I have one on order and I can't wait to try it out.
@@jreid641 I am debating between the 30m and 50m. I play just solo gigs, a lot of outside. But i plan to expand to a 4/5person band. Do you know if you use two 30m’s, if you’re able to utilize all inputs from both speakers? 4 inputs on each speaker- making 8 inputs?
as a wedding dj i want to ask you if two evolve 30m , will succesfully cover a 250 people outdoor wedding party? I had rent two ev50's and they did it! But what about the ev 30's? Are gonna make it?
they look good. I am trying to figure out, if you have two, is there a unit without a mixer and you run it from the mix out from the main? or can you connect two together to give you double the amount of channels. only one aux send for fold back?
I have a pair of Evolve 30M and from what I can see, you can't double the inputs by hooking them together like you can do with the Yamaha Stagepass 1K or Evolve 50M with its Ethernet connectivity. You can obviously run them as a stereo pair or use the mixer on one unit whilst the other unit is used as a matching satellite speaker for a bigger sound.
The Bose L8 pro is supposed to be the kiddy now with 180 deg sound. Why then would I choose the Evolve 30M? Genuine question as I'm being recommended the EV over Bose.
You'd choose the Evolve 30M because it's much more feature packed with way more DSP and double the inputs, not to mention the superior build quality. The L1 Pro 8 sounds great and has a wider sound dispersion but the Evolve 30M also sounds fantastic in its own right and you don't have to spend a small fortune on a Bose tonematch mixer to get the extra inputs that come with the Evolve 30M as standard equipment. I was so impressed with the Evolve 30M that I bought a second one for larger gigs and to run in stereo. They also look fabulous in white.
I have used both EV's & JBL for over 4 decades of gigging. From a hard decision, age & weight being a factor, I sadly parted with my JBL rigs,. I now have accumulated 5 sets of Evolve 50's, I do not regret it, I have to say I was dubious about the China link but am happy to say EV have retained the EV speck both in components, sound quality & a finesse styled finish. You state 500w Sub & 500w Satellite total 1,000Watts. You don't mention RMS, Why?...
How would you compare the 30M to the RCF JMIX8? I initially bought the RCF but it bricked after I updated it. I got to a gig and it literally wouldn't turn on. Can't decide between a different JMIX vs the 30M. What would you pick?
Oh my goodness I’m so sorry to hear that. I have had a great experience with my Jmix8 I’ve had it for almost 2 years However I cannot lift the darn thing my husband, who is also my roadie, has to lift it. Since I do a lot of solo work I need something that’s lighter than 65 pounds! I have about 5 PM systems and still not satisfied LOL
Geri Blount nice to have a roadie! I’m on the hunt for a portable PA that’s light, has phantom power, and at least a 7band main EQ w a 3 band on each channel. So the JMIX was gonna be perfect but just a little scared of reliability now.
As long as you don’t mind what it looks like. A sound bar with Bluetooth sub would honestly be a better setup. If you match it with your tv brand you can even use the same remote.

As with all speakers, the best way is to hear them demonstrated in person. However, we can say they do sound great with good detail up top without being too bright and have a tight bass response from the 10" sub. If you've heard Electro-Voice speakers before then that's a good reference point, their quality is nicely consistent across their speaker range.
My turbosound 600w is 5 times louder than this one. I must have got a dud because even with input and master faders above unity with the meters peaking the output is 60 db at best.
Looks fragile. All it takes is a drunk uncle at a wedding reception suddenly realizing he's only been dancing with the pretty children for far too long, feeling overly self-conscious, losing confidence in his dance steps, tripping and grabbing your brand new, $1,299.00 (+ Tax) Electro-Voice EVOLVE 30M by the neck, effectively breaking it in two, with that speaker/head part popping-off and crashing onto the shiny, hard, multi-use room, dance floor, no?
electrovoice aint what they used to be .very overpriced these cheap china branded speakers and amps are used also in the zxa1 series and zlx range etc... are cheap. unreliable and unrepairable when they go bang !!! The padded bags are too thin with little padding and are too expensive also. I will never ever buy or recommend electrovoice products again. ELECTROVOICE USA COMPANY. OWNED BY BOSCH GERMAN COMPANY. ALL MADE IN CHINA.! CRAP
I play hundreds of gigs a year and use a small Behringer PA. It's paid for itself hundreds of times over and still works fine. I shall buy this column PA by EV to reduce my gear load even more. I'm sure it will do the job fine and pay for itself many times over. It's all about perspective.
This absolutely looks like the perfect column speaker in every way
I’m sold. Thanks for your honest review.
Great review video ..thank you so much for that .. I’m sold I’m going to get a pair . I liked and subscribed to your Chanel . Thank you so much 👍☘️
Glad we could help!

How do you like the Ev 30m John?
@@RickyZenInLivingFocus I think it's great! Easy to set up and run, sounds great, plays loud enough for every situation we've used it in.
@@jreid641 I do a solo piano act where I sing. Gonna be using some backing tracks too. Will this be good for me?
@@WatchMeShred I think it would be excellent for you.

Hi,
I have a pair of Evolve 50 I want to ask you if I can use QSC KS212C Sub with Evolve 50s to increase the spl.
Thanks
This guy got a black eye well a little ha way he moves his hands. Good video
So, can I run my controller into one and Bluetooth that one into the next one across the room?
Neat!
The sub weights 35 pounds, I love the back pack idea

How does it compare to the Yamaha stage pas 1k
When is evolve bringing a new speaker ? Since technology is developing very fast and the release of this speakers were like 2015 or so
You can tell from the thumb mail that these two were going to start beefing.

If you have 2 evolve 30m can you linked them and make it 16 channel?
My question as well.
My question also?
the one guy needs to let the other talk

The tall guy is apparently drunk! :D
Yea or he took a hit of something, he is making me nervous lol

I also own the Jmix8 and love it but it’s so heavy. Are you saying that you updated the firmware and yours crashed?
Geri Blount yep! Exactly what happened. Ordered a second RCF J8 (basically a JMIX w no mixer. Same unit/amp/speakers tho) and it had a dead input.
Oh my goodness I’m so sorry to hear that.

Why no one doing a vocal reverb delay test
What are your thoughts on using the 30m as a home theater sound system?
As long as you don’t mind what it looks like. A sound bar with Bluetooth sub would honestly be a better setup. If you match it with your tv brand you can even use the same remote.
When did chef Ramsey get into audio?

How does this compare to the Bose L1 Pro 8??

How do they sound?

Known for their high end clarity.
Garbage.
Until hopefully they make the 50M
Major difference between 2
The app sucks balls! I still have to use a mixer with this speaker.
Sounds good though with a mixer.
The ability to make changes remotely isn’t without a price. Every asshole within earshot that sees what your doing now becomes an engineer too.
Dis one goes to eleven.....
Actually it goes all the way to 12!😂
My turbosound 600w is 5 times louder than this one. I must have got a dud because even with input and master faders above unity with the meters peaking the output is 60 db at best.
So stupid that the 30 has more channels than the 50. Deal breaker on the 50 for sure.

I've got a pair of Evolve 30Ms and let me tell you that they're very well built.

Agreed. My turbosound at nearly half the wattage puts out 5 times the volume and it sounds great.
ha! So what other company do you work for that you have to say all that? LOL
