Electro Voice EVOLVE 30M G2 Black Kolonne PA-system

Electro-Voice EVOLVE 30M G2 — Compact Column PA for Events Up to 150 People

The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 30M G2 is a compact, portable column PA system engineered for events of up to 150 attendees. It pairs six 2.8-inch neodymium high-frequency drivers with a 10-inch subwoofer, powered by a 1500 W Class-D amplifier that delivers up to 125 dB SPL. The 120° × 40° coverage pattern ensures even, detailed sound reaches every corner of the room, from the front row to the back. Designed for solo musicians, DJs, ceremonies, and mobile performers, this system combines professional-grade output with a slim, lightweight form factor that travels easily and sets up in moments.

Standout Features: Integrated Mixer, Wireless Control, and System Linking

What sets the EVOLVE 30M G2 apart in the portable column category is its fully integrated digital mixer and wireless control ecosystem. The built-in 8-channel mixer includes pro-grade preamps, studio-quality effects across two FX banks, automatic feedback suppression (AFS), and music ducking for announcements. Switchable 48V phantom power allows direct connection of condenser microphones without an external preamp, while QuickSmart Link enables two systems to share audio and control via a standard Ethernet cable for expanded input counts and stereo configurations.

Power and Output Performance — Headroom for Larger Rooms

The amplifier and driver configuration define how loud and clean this system can play in real-world environments. With 1500 W of Class-D power on tap, the 30M G2 provides the extra headroom that the EVOLVE community requested for busier dance floors and larger venues.

• Amplifier Power: 1500 W Class-D — delivers headroom for larger rooms and busier dance floors without audible distortion
• Maximum SPL: 125 dB — raised over the previous generation for fuller coverage at the back of the room
• Frequency Range: 45 Hz – 20 kHz — extends low enough for full-range music reproduction

Driver Array and Coverage Pattern — Even Sound Across the Audience

The column array geometry and subwoofer design determine how evenly sound distributes across the audience. A proprietary waveguide shapes the high-frequency dispersion, while a redesigned laminar flow vent on the subwoofer port reduces turbulence for cleaner low-end output.

• High-Frequency Drivers: Six 2.8-inch neodymium — arranged in a proprietary waveguide for consistent horizontal and vertical dispersion
• Subwoofer: 10-inch ported with laminar flow vent design — produces deeper, cleaner bass with reduced port noise
• Coverage Pattern: 120° horizontal × 40° vertical — reaches the entire audience from a single column position

Connectivity, Mixer, and Wireless Control — All-in-One System

The integrated mixer and app-based control eliminate the need for external gear in most setups. Every input a solo performer or small band needs is already on the back panel, and the QuickSmart App 3.0 puts full wireless control in the operator's hand.

• Built-in Mixer: 8-channel digital with pro-grade preamps — accommodates mics, instruments, and line-level sources without an external console
• Inputs: Bluetooth, Combo (XLR/Jack), Footswitch, Hi-Z, 3.5 mm stereo, MIC/Line Combo, RCA stereo — covers wireless streaming, vocals, guitars, and playback devices
• Outputs: QuickSmart Link, XLR — enables system linking and sends the mix to additional speakers or a recording device
• Wireless Control: QuickSmart App 3.0 with extended Bluetooth range — full system management, multi-speaker grouping, and True Wireless Stereo from iOS or Android

Who Is It For — Solo Performers, Mobile DJs, and Small-Venue Operators

The EVOLVE 30M G2 is the right choice for solo performers, mobile DJs, wedding and ceremony providers, and small-venue operators who need professional sound in a package that sets up in under a minute. Its 8-channel mixer and comprehensive input panel mean most acts can plug in microphones, instruments, and backing tracks without external gear. The QuickSmart App 3.0 wireless control allows the operator to fine-tune the mix from anywhere in the room, while AFS and music ducking handle common live-sound challenges automatically. For bands or larger productions, two units can be linked via QuickSmart Link to double the input count and coverage.

Brand and Product Story — The Next Generation of EVOLVE

The EVOLVE column system has become a benchmark in portable PA, trusted by touring musicians, rental companies, and event production teams worldwide. The G2 generation answers the most consistent request from the EVOLVE community: more output and deeper bass. Electro-Voice raised the maximum SPL to 125 dB on the 30M G2 while refining the subwoofer's laminar flow vent design for cleaner low-frequency response. The redesigned QuickSmart App 3.0 brings multi-speaker management, True Wireless Stereo configuration, and over-the-air firmware updates to a platform that already supports the broader EV portable ecosystem.
