These controls let you adjust the incoming signals to the mixers internal operation level. 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 -80 dB. Set the INPUT LEVEL control to -80 dB. Connect the sound source (microphone, instrument, etc.) to the desired LINE/MIC 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 INPUT GAIN control, so that during the loudest part, the CLIP does not show. Then increase the MASTER VOL until the desired output from the column is achieved. This is the basic channel setting. If further adjustments to the channels EQ setting are necessary, perform these steps again, as changes in the sound shaping section also have an influence on the channels overall level. TREBLE/MID/BASS controls The input channels EQ section allows for a broad difference in the shaping of the incoming audio signal within three frequency bands. Before you begin to alter the sound, all EQ controls should be set to 0. Try not to set the EQ controls to extreme positions. Usually, minor changes are sufficient to produce the best results in the overall sound. 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. 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 BASS control to add more punch to the sound of a kick drum or body to the vocals. Use the TREBLE control in the same way to provide cymbals and vocals with more treble for a more transparent sound. FX1 & FX2 control The FX1 & FX2 control is used to set the amount of effect you require on that channel. 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, start with the controls set at their minimum and individually increase the level gradually until the desired sound is achieved. The FX Enable switch turns the internal FX units on or off. Please keep in mind that you can also use an external footswitch for turning the FX1 & FX2 on or off. If you want to use a footswitch, the EVOLVE 50M is preconfigured to control FX on/off with a footswitch, requiring no additional configuration. Phantom Power
+15V DC Phantom power is available on the XLR connectors of INPUTS 1-4 only. There is no phantom power on the TRS connectors. Phantom power is always on, and not switchblade. Notice!
A protection circuit is provided to prevent damage to devices which do not require phantom power such as dynamic microphones and mixer outputs. Best practice dictates to connect line level sources to INPUTS 5/6 when possible. Electro-Voice User manual 2020-12 | v01 | F.01U.393.750 i 30 en | Mixer operation EVOLVE Portable Column Loudspeaker 6.2 QuickSmart Link configuration The AUX control is primarily meant for establishing an independent mix, e.g. for monitor or a second room/zone. The individual channel AUX controls will determine the amount of each channel's post fader signal present at the AUX output if AUX OUT is set to AUX MIX. AUX control COMP control During operation, the input signal processing can be adjusted by using the COMP control to control the on board compressor. Compressors are available on INPUTS 1-4. Adjust the COMPRESSOR threshold and compression ration simultaneously using the COMP adjustment. As the COMP control is adjusted from 0 to 100, the gain below the threshold will increase from 0 to 10 dB and the compression ratio will increase from 1:1 to 8:1. The compressor will reduce the dynamic range of the audio signal proportional to the compressor setting. 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. It is recommended to start with low to moderate levels of compression (25-40) and increase slowly if necessary. With QuickSmart Link you can combine all input signals from 2 EVOLVE50M loudspeakers into one mixer. The mixer output signal can be Mono or Stereo, the signal routing is set during the configuration process. 1. Make sure both EVOLVE 50M systems are turned on. 2. Connect the network cable to the QuickSmart link port on each EVOLVE 50M system. 3. Configuration is completed through the QuickSmart DSP control menu displayed on the LCD of either EVOLVE 50M system. Choose one EVOLVE 50M system to complete the configuration. The LCD will display that the QuickSmart link is detected. You will need to determine how to synchronize parameters between both EVOLVE 50M systems. The LCD will display "parameter Sync Send or Receive". 6. If you wish to copy and send parameters from the EVOLVE 50M system you are 7. If you wish to read and copy the parameters from the second EVOLVE 50M system, select controlling, select "send".

The second EVOLVE 50M system will automatically be configured based on your selection. 10. The LCD will then display that the QuickSmart Link is ready. With QuickSmart Link, several parameters of the connected EVOLVE 50M systems are linked.
