Electro-Voice Evolve 90 Portable Active Column Speaker Black

The EVOLVE 90 Column Loudspeaker System is a robust yet portable addition to the EVOLVE family. It is designed to deliver exceptional audio quality and impressive output, coupled with ease of use and portability for professionals seeking equipment for larger events.

The EVOLVE series has established itself as a leader in portability, and the EVOLVE 90 continues this legacy. Utilizing advanced materials alongside ergonomic design principles, it guarantees acoustic performance that meets customer expectations while remaining the lightest and most portable model in its class. Remarkably, even with its column array featuring a leading 18” subwoofer, the EVOLVE 90 is lighter than some competing models with 15” subwoofers.

With a maximum SPL of 134 dB, the EVOLVE 90 boasts eight 4.7” neodymium drivers offering clear and powerful 120°-wide consistent coverage via proprietary waveguides, along with array-formed asymmetrical 25° vertical coverage. Advanced FIR processing ensures linear frequency response and phase alignment. The 18” subwoofer extends low frequency down to 28 Hz. This substantial bass output, combined with an efficient laminar-flow vent design and robust 4” voice coils, ensures optimal performance and sustained high output, making it ideal for bass-intensive dance music.

Electro-Voice’s largest format column loudspeaker system includes comprehensive connectivity options for microphones, line-level, Bluetooth, and digital signals, enhancing flexibility to suit various professional scenarios. These connections include XLR/TRS combo Mic-Line inputs, XLR and RCA line-level inputs, and digital AES/EBU. Additionally, the EVOLVE 90 integrates into the recently updated QuickSmart Mobile App ecosystem, enabling users to control it within a system comprising other Bluetooth-enabled EV portable speakers.

EVOLVE 90 addresses the dynamic requirements of professional users including DJs, bands, production companies, event organizers, and venues. Designed for swift deployment, EVOLVE 90 employs the EVOLVE 3-2-1 assembly approach, setting an industry standard for rapid setup and teardown. As per the 3-2-1 method, the three components fit together in two clicks to form one unified system.

Available in black or white, the EVOLVE 90 enhances the design of the EVOLVE family, relying on lightweight materials and ergonomic principles to ensure maximum portability and the distinctive aesthetic appeal. An aluminium distance pole separates the tops from the subs, while the neodymium drivers and advanced materials keep the weight minimal. The included carrying case for the array and distance pole, complemented by an optional accessory transport dolly, upholds EVOLVE’s reputation for portability.
