Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50 G2 — Portable Column Power for Live Sound

The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50 G2 is a 1,500 W portable column loudspeaker system engineered for mobile DJs, bands, production companies, and event organizers who need serious output without the truck-pack footprint. A 12-inch subwoofer anchors a column of eight 3.5-inch neodymium drivers, delivering up to 129 dB SPL with a low-frequency reach down to 37 Hz. This column system is the right choice for performers and venues running events of up to 300 attendees who want pro-grade sound in a rig that fits in the back seat.

What Sets the EVOLVE 50 G2 Apart

What makes this column stand out is the marriage of EV's laminar flow vent design on the subwoofer — which lifts low-end efficiency without adding cabinet size — with the QuickSmart Link port that ties two EVOLVE speakers together over a single Ethernet cable for synchronized stereo playback. QuickSmart App 3.0 adds full wireless control, while 30 onboard effects, automatic ducking, and Advanced Feedback Suppression handle the live-mixing heavy lifting.

Output and Coverage That Fills the Room

Headroom matters when a dance floor fills up or a corporate audience spills into the back of the room. The 1,500 W Class-D power plant pushes this column to 129 dB max SPL, with a frequency range of 37 Hz to 20 kHz and a frequency response of 43 Hz to 20 kHz. The 120° horizontal by 40° down-tilted vertical coverage pattern keeps sound even from front-row guests to the back wall.

• Max SPL: 129 dB — extra headroom for larger rooms and busier dance floors
• Frequency Range: 37 Hz – 20 kHz — sub-bass depth that handles kick drums and bass guitars
• Coverage Pattern: 120° × 40° — wide horizontal throw with controlled vertical dispersion

Drivers and Cabinet Construction

Eight 3.5-inch neodymium high-frequency drivers sit in a proprietary waveguide column, paired with a ported 12-inch subwoofer housed in a plywood enclosure for tight, musical low end. The composite column array and aluminum distance pole keep the upper section light enough to carry one-handed, while redesigned handles on top of the sub make load-in noticeably easier.

• HF Drivers: 8 × 3.5-inch neodymium — high sensitivity with controlled vertical dispersion
• LF Transducer: 12-inch woofer — ported plywood cabinet with laminar flow vent design
• Housing: aluminum pole, composite column, plywood sub — durable yet portable build

Connectivity, DSP, and Wireless Control

The rear panel houses two mic/line XLR/TRS combo inputs, a stereo XLR/TRS combo input, RCA stereo, 3.5 mm stereo and Bluetooth audio, with switchable 48 V phantom power for condenser microphones. QuickSmart App 3.0 streams audio, manages multi-speaker setups, and pushes firmware updates over the air, while the onboard controls with a larger full-color LCD lets operators dial in every parameter directly on the box.

• Inputs: Bluetooth, combo XLR/jack, RCA stereo, 3.5 mm aux — covers mics, instruments, and playback sources
• Outputs: QuickSmart Link, XLR mix out — stereo pairing and feeding an additional speaker
• DSP: 30 effects, AFS, auto ducking, 7-band EQ — live-mixing tools without external gear

Who the EVOLVE 50 G2 Is Built For

This column system is the right choice for mobile DJs, solo musicians, wedding and corporate event crews, and small-to-mid-size venues that need a single rig to cover speech, music, and live performance. Setup takes about a minute — the magnet-seated pole drops into the sub, the column locks by gravity, and signal routing happens inside the cabinet with no external cables to run. A padded carrying bag ships with the distance pole and column array, and matching soft padded covers are available separately for the sub. Two units can be linked via QuickSmart Link for true stereo coverage at larger events.

Electro-Voice and the EVOLVE Legacy

The G2 generation answers the most consistent request from the EVOLVE community by raising maximum SPL, extending Bluetooth range, and adding switchable 48 V phantom power — refinements that keep the platform current without abandoning the simple, tool-free setup that made it a touring favorite.
