Electro Voice EVOLVE 30M G2 White Column PA System

Electro-Voice EVOLVE 30M G2 White — Portable Column PA with Built-In 8-Channel Mixer

The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 30M G2 White is a 1500 W portable column PA system built for solo performers, DJs and event crews. Six 2.8" neodymium drivers sit in an array-formed column above a 10" subwoofer, while a 1500 W Class-D amplifier delivers up to 125 dB SPL across a 120° × 40° coverage pattern. The integrated 8-channel digital mixer removes the need for a separate console. G2 upgrades include switchable 48 V phantom power, Bluetooth with True Wireless Stereo, and QuickSmart Link.

What Sets the EVOLVE 30M G2 Apart

Two upgrades define the G2 generation: switchable 48 V phantom power is now available, and QuickSmart Link lets two systems share audio and mixer control through a single Ethernet cable, doubling the available input count. The laminar flow vent on the 10" subwoofer port extends clean bass down to 45 Hz, and the 2.8" color LCD replaces the older compact display.

Power and Acoustic Performance

Power and headroom are the headline numbers here. The 1500 W Class-D amplifier is rated 800 W for the low-frequency channel and 700 W for the high-frequency channel, giving up to 2 dB more output than the previous generation. The 125 dB maximum SPL is measured at 1 m and covers audiences of roughly 150 people without strain.

• Total Power: 1500 W Class-D (800 W LF + 700 W HF)
• Maximum SPL: 125 dB at 1 m
• Frequency Range: 45 Hz – 20 kHz (-10 dB); 51 Hz – 20 kHz (-3 dB)

Coverage Pattern and Driver Layout

Electro-Voice's proprietary waveguide shapes the column's output into a 120° × 40° pattern, keeping level consistent across a small-to-mid venue. The six 2.8" neodymium drivers handle highs and mids, while the 10" subwoofer in a plywood enclosure with polyurea coating anchors the low end. Crossover sits at 200 Hz for a clean handoff between sub and column.

• Column Drivers: 6 × 2.8" neodymium in array-formed composite column
• Subwoofer: 10" with laminar flow vent design
• Coverage Angle: 120° × 40° (H × V)

Mixer, Connectivity and Build

The onboard 8-channel digital mixer is the system's centerpiece, accessible through the 2.8" color LCD or the QuickSmart Mobile app. The three-piece design — composite column, plywood sub and aluminum pole — assembles in seconds and weighs 19.75 kg.

• Mixer: 8-channel digital mixer with switchable 48 V phantom power, AFS, music ducking and onboard effects
• Inputs: 4 × XLR/TRS combo, Hi-Z instrument, RCA stereo, 3.5 mm stereo, Bluetooth, footswitch
• Outputs: XLR Mix and AUX, plus QuickSmart Link (RJ45) for two-system expansion

Who the EVOLVE 30M G2 White Is Built For

The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 30M G2 White is the right choice for working solo musicians, mobile DJs and small-venue operators who need a single system that can replace a separate mixer, amp rack and PA stack. Solo performers benefit from the Hi-Z input and footswitch-controlled effects, while DJs lean on Bluetooth with True Wireless Stereo for cable-free playback. Production companies will appreciate QuickSmart Link for doubling inputs across two cabinets, and the white finish suits weddings, corporate events and houses of worship. The 19.75 kg assembled weight keeps load-in fast for one-person crews.

Electro-Voice and the EVOLVE Column Legacy

Electro-Voice's EVOLVE series is one of the brand's most popular column PA lines, and the G2 generation represents a welcome upgrade built on feedback from real Electro-Voice users. The "M" designation marks models with an integrated digital mixer, and the G2 generation adds deeper DSP, expanded connectivity and a 2 dB jump in output.
