Installation manual Electro-Voice BA EVOLVE Portable Column Loudspeaker Mixer operation | en 27 8 8.1 Mixer operation Mono input GAIN control Rotary control for adjusting a MIC/LINE inputs sensitivity. These controls let you optimally adjust the incoming signals to the mixers internal operation level. Slight adjustments can offer the benefits of an improved S/N-ratio and provides you with the full bandwidth of the EVOLVEs outstanding sound capabilities. The following gain setting instruction is to be used as a guide to help achieve a good signal input level:
Set the MASTER volume controls to their minimum values (counterclockwise). Set the GAIN control and the corresponding channel VOLUME control to their center position. Connect the sound source (microphone, instrument, etc.) to the desired MIC/LINE input. Start the sound source at the highest volume level to be expected - respectively sing or speak as loudly as possible directly (close up) into the microphone. While playing the sound source or singing into the microphone, adjust the input level using the GAIN control, so that during the loudest part, the PK LED does not light up. This is the basic channel setting, leaving you with at least 6 dB of headroom, i.e. you have at least a range of 6 dB before signal clipping occurs. If you intend to make further adjustments to the channels EQ setting, you should perform steps 4 and 5 again, as changes in the sound shaping section also have an influence on the channels overall level. HI/MID/LO controls The mixers EQ section allows for a broad difference in the shaping of the incoming audio signal within three frequency bands. Turning one of the EQ level controls to the right enhances/amplifies the corresponding frequency range while turning it to the left lowers/
attenuates the signal of that specific frequency band. Before you begin to alter the sound, all EQ controls should be set to their neutral position, i.e. their marker points straight up (locked in place). Try not to set the EQ controls to extreme positions. Usually, minor changes are sufficient to produce the best results in the overall sound. You should use the natural reproduction as a starting point and rely on your musically trained ear. The moderate use of the MID control is the best remedy to avoid acoustical feedback. You should try to avoid using this frequency range to an extreme level. Lowering the level in this band will provide you with higher output and help reduce feedback. Adjust the LO control to your taste, to add more punch to the sound of a kick drum or body to the vocals. Use the HI control in the same way to provide cymbals and vocals with more treble for a more transparent sound. FX control The FX controls is used to set the amount of effect you require on that channel input to be routed to the integrated FX effects unit. The signal path is split post VOLUME control so that the volume setting also influences the amount of the signal that is fed to the FX unit. Using the FX controls lets you easily assign an effect for groups of musical instruments or vocals. To determine the desired level of the effect, you should start with the controls set at their center and make individual adjustments from there on. Please monitor the PK LED in the FX channels. The indicator should only light up briefly at the occurrence of high signal peaks. If the indicator is constantly lit, you should lower the send levels of those channels where the program peaks occur. For further information, please read the paragraphs about the FX unit. AUX control The AUX control is primarily meant for establishing an independent mix, e.g. for monitor or a second room/zone. The signal routing is always pre VOLUME control.

28 en | Mixer operation EVOLVE Portable Column Loudspeaker 8.2 PK indicator The peak indicator plays a key role when setting input levels. The PK (peak) LED on the EVOLVE provides a visual indication of the risk of distortion before you hear it through the connected speaker systems. The peak indicator checks the signal level pre and post of the channels VOLUME control and indicates the maximum of both levels. If the PK LED blinks frequently or lights continuously, the corresponding channel is likely to start clipping and you will need to reduce the volume slightly. The peak LED are triggered at a level of -6 dB below the point of distortion. If lowering the channel VOLUME is not sufficient to reduce signal peaks, carefully turn the GAIN control down. Keeping an eye on the indicator during a performance is also a good idea, because some changes in the bands dynamics or even a change in keyboard settings can easily lead to channel clipping, resulting in the degradation of the overall sound. VOLUME control The VOLUME control sets the volume of the corresponding channels, resulting in a balanced mix. The control should be positioned initially at 5, leaving you with enough flexibility to balance the mix. The overall volume is adjusted through the use of the master controls. Even though the channel controls offer an additional level of +15dB, we would like to advise you to exceed the 8 mark only in very few exceptional cases. If the PM502s summing bus gets overloaded with too many high level input channels, despite its special gain structure, the summing amplifier could be driven into clipping. The best signal to noise ratio can be achieved if channel volume and master volume controls are set in the same range. Stereo input HI/MID/LO control The mixers EQ section allows for a broad difference in the shaping of the incoming audio signal within three frequency bands.

FX FX ON switch (with indicator) This switch turns the internal FX unit on and the green LED turns on. Please keep in mind that you can also use an external footswitch for turning the FX unit on or off. In this case, the LED also shows the actual operational status of the FX unit. If you want to use a footswitch, the FX ON switch has to be engaged first. The FX unit is activated and you can use the footswitch to switch the selected effect program on or off.

Play the sound source connected to the desired input channel and adjust the desired amount of the FX signal, using the FX controls of this input channel. Repeat this step for all input channels that you want to include in your effect mix. 6. Monitor the PK LED so that it only lights up from time to time during signal peaks. When clipping occurs, reduce the channels FX control level. 7. Use the FX to AUX control to add the effect mix to the AUX mix. 8. Use the FX VOLUME control to add the desired amount of the FX signal to the master mix. Pay attention to the PK indicators when operating your EVOLVE to be able to respond quickly when the signal levels exceed the normal range and start clipping. VOLUME control This control is used to determine the amount of effect added to the master mix. If you find that you have to set these controls above the 8 mark, please check if the FX units input signals are adjusted properly. AUX Indicators It is acceptable for the LIM indicator to flicker from time to time because the built in clip limiter prevents distortion. If it is lit continuously, you are at risk of the degradation of your speaker output. In that case, the volume level has to be reduced. The limiter threshold can be edited in the OUTPUT SETTINGS menu, please refer to section Menu. Below the LIM indicator, the EVOLVE offers a 3-segment LED chain for visual monitoring of the output level of the signal. The meters 0dB mark is referenced to a 0dBu output signal at the mixer output. VOLUME control The VOLUME control sets the volume of the summed audio signal at the AUX OUT output. The signal present at this output can be selected in the AUX routing menu, please refer to section Menu.

Effect of MIC PROCESSING The AUX-Bus signal is only affected by MUTE, so COMPRESSOR or TALK OVER have no effect on the AUX-Bus signal. COMPRESSOR Engage the COMPRESSOR switch to activate the integrated compressor. The compressor reduces the dynamic range of audio signals. Once the signal exceeds a certain threshold, the signal gets compressed, i.e. major input level changes result in minor output level changes. Narrowing the dynamic range often allows for easier recording or mixing the audio signal. TALK OVER Engage the TALK OVER switch to activate the integrated ducking facility. The ducking facility reduces the level of the signals at the STEREO inputs whenever a signal is present at the MIC/
LINE inputs. If there is no MIC/LINE signal present the STEREO signal automatically returns to its preset level. MUTE Engage the MUTE switch to mute all MIC/LINE input signals. Equalizer The Evolve column speaker employs an 11-band equalizer. Eleven frequency bands offering
+/-6dB gain/reduction allow the shaping of the overall sound to meet your personal preferences to optimally match it to the acoustic conditions of different locations.

Intermittent output such as crackling or distortion 3. Constant noise such as buzzing hissing or humming Faulty connection Defective source or other electronic device Poor system grounding or ground loop Action Verify all the electronics are on, the signal routing is correct, the source is active; the volume is turned up, etc. Correct/repair/replace as necessary. If there is still no sound, the problem may be wiring. Verify you have connected the correct cables to the amplifier. Play something at a low level through the amplifier. Connect a test loudspeaker in parallel with the malfunctioning line. If the sound level is gone or is very weak, the line has a short in it (possibly a severe scrape, pinch, or a missed connection). Using the test loudspeaker, move down the line and test each connection/junction until you find the problem and correct it. Observe proper polarity. Check all connections at amplifier and loudspeakers to ensure they are all clean and tight. If the problem persists, check the wiring. See problem 1. If noise is present, but no program material is playing, evaluate each component as necessary to isolate the problem. Most likely there is a break in the signal path. Check and correct the system grounding, as required. 4. No sound produced with microphone connected to INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 Sound is distorted front LED is OFF, LCD screen LIMIT is ON 5. Input gain knob is not in the MIC position Slowly increase the input gain knob level to engage the microphone pre-amp. Microphone requires phantom power.
