Evolve 30m Review

- I bought these when they first came out to replace my Bose L1 MII's and...so far, I love them. So..time to make a video!
I think they are still new enough that a lot of DJs aren't sure what they do or what you can use the EV 30m's for.
Let me know if you got one or thinking about it, I'll answer any questions I actually know..don't want to be blowing smoke up your asses..

I have been watching DJ CZcams videos for well over a decade. Your style is great and you are pretty hilarious. Keep up the great content, you are going to blow up with these videos!
Thanks! I’m glad it’s coming across that I’m having fun making these!
I'm a dj for a small resort in The Bahamas. I invested in my first EV Evolve 30M and looking to purchase another 1 before my first wedding in April. I love it from I walked into a Sam Ash. It's great for the lobby on the weekends for Jazz nights. I wanted the 50 but I wanted to be compact with my set up nothng too heavy on my back. Easy to tote and setup. Love love love!
242 to the world
Excellent review and you had me laughing as well. I'm seriously thinking of buying this system for my solo performances. And I can get pretty loud especially with my bass octave pedal. But it sounds' like the 30M will give me the punch I'm looking for.
Thank you for this , I was literally debating whether to choose these or the 50s , great review
If you can, go listen to them live. I was super impressed and as a single op, I love how quick, light and easy they set up. Let me know what you end up doing!
These 30ms are great! I just bought one and they are way stronger than I expected! perfect for my jazz combo at cocktail hour as well as smaller guest counts for weddings! Great review! (Yes... there is an android app for it)
Awesome!
Love your review and the comedy you are a riot !
Thanks!
Your review is right on I luv my 30 m and it does everything you say its nice to hear a real review and the volume is plenty loud !
Awesome. Are you DJing with them?
Yes awesome I usually only need one tower@@AaronStrawn
I just picked up a white 30M and it got only sounds fabulous, is compact and lightweight as well as having an awesome app, it also looks gorgeous in white! Now I want a second one!!!!
I now have a pair of Evolve 30Ms and they sound phenomenal in stereo as well being a great looking, compact and lightweight system that fits very easily into the back of a small car.
Great video as usual.
You incorporated my favorite! Kramer lol!! Great vid bro.
There will be more Kramer, don't worry lol!
awesome review thank you
Thanks Lewis!
Great review. I have the EV ZLX12BT’s, going to add an EV subwoofer soon. After watching this I’m curious about these 30M’s now 🤔
Either way, can’t go wrong with EV 👍🏽
Dig the video and love ur Honesty 👍🏼
I appreciate that!
Just saw this at guitar center today..it’s INCREDIBLE!
Sounds great right? I'm not using them as my main DJ speaker anymore, but it's still a great smaller speaker
@@AaronStrawn it really does. I’m a beginner DJ so I think these might be perfect for me!
A lot of DJs will say that is isn’t anywhere as good as the EV 50s. Also, a lot of DJs are smoking crack. This thing THUMPS. A solid 2/3 of the way to the EV 50. Enjoy!
Same amp just smaller woofer.
got my EV 30M and played my first solo gig with it (voice, guitar, drums/bass/keys backing tracks) and it went really well. The sound was great,full and balanced for the Rock and Pop musik I play but the single unit had to work to fill the large room. I would like another one for bigger rooms though
Awesome! Yeah, for sure with bigger rooms 2 is needed.
Do you have any video sir?
@@diujay well, I did put a camera up recording my last gig but I managed to place it so you can't see me for the speaker pole!!
@@EnmandsBand1 can you please upload
@@diujay Sure, here is The Road to Hell, great song to play:
czcams.com/video/TRSUq_-4y3w/video.html
I purchased a pair of the 30's before I saw your revision. But, if need be I have the elx200-12 sub and a elx200-10p for fillers and that has been slamming! Even for larger gigs. Good review.
Great to hear!
thank you!
Haha ..another hilarious video Aaron 😂and so informative.. what’s even more impressive too is your trickery and clever editing of your videos … you made ma laugh so hard you almost “ melted my face “ 😳
I am wondering how the Ev30 M would stack up against the JBL EON ONE MK2 ? Great job .. !👍❤️☘️
I did a compare video with those! czcams.com/video/dnUpcIN7aiY/video.html
I got one this week for a cocktail hour, I used it with my rain one, it was great but it clipped pretty easy .. I think I might need to set up the compressor
Clipped during cocktail? Wow..yeah maybe check your gain structure?
I just did a dj gig in an AIR-HANGER for planes etc …. I set the speakers at 0-DBS …as I have 2 evolve 30’s and NEVER went above -12 bds on my mixer and was RATTLING things. The Evolve30’s X2 was ridiculous sound… UNBELIEVABLE definitely recommend this product as a DJ….
Sick!
How many people were at the event? I have a wedding this weekend with 170 at an outdoor venue and I am taking a pair of the EV 30s. Still debating if I need something powerful for an outdoor venue. I tested the speakers outdoors and they were pretty good but I did not have the crowd noise.
@@djpc4246 you should be good mate
@@djpc4246 hello brother. Can you please tell me your opinion for electrovoice 30m? I want to buy two ev50's or two ev30m ? i am a wedding dj and i do outdoors weddings for about 250 people. But in the dancing stage there are not all the 250 people. It has about 50 people. what you would suggest? thank you.
@@sadimissadimis8908 sorry for my late response. If you do outside weddings with 200 plus, I will not buy the evolve 30Ms. You are better off with the 50. I just did a wedding with the EV 30 m for about 100 people and it worked great. I will not use them if I have a wedding with 150 guests or more.
Direct competition with Bose Pro8. EV App is far superior. I bought the EV30! Love how you can EQ and mute a 2nd powered speaker - unique feature!
Bose literally released their pro line like 2 weeks after I bought these haha, but I’m not disappointed.
Spec wise is closer to the Pro 16, price wise the 8. Wattage and SPL rating are very close to the 16.
Does this mean that if you need just a bit more sound for a slightly larger venue you can link in like a Yamaha DBR12, is it difficult to get the sound balanced with a different speaker in the overall mix?
Nice job!
Thanks!
I need to go test this again. A member of staff was operating it and there was no bass at all.. he then testes the Bose L1 pro and that really kicked
We’ll the Bose has a bigger sub, it’ll slap the 30m. I wouldn’t use this for receptions. Small parties and ceremonies
@@AaronStrawn having had this tested again at PMT yesterday I can honestly say it has a full rounded bass. The first test the chap must have got the settings wrong. I still bought the Bose purely because of my budget as the EV was more expensive. However this shows in the more rugged construction of the EV though. Both sound really good and the size of the EV sub is very deceiving.
These are great for smaller shows that don’t need a lot of low end. Skip the EV 50 if you want an upgrade. Save your money and go for the RCF Evox 12s. These are game changers.
Thank you for the great video. For my 600-700 sq feet hall/ room at home, would the evolve 30 work beautifully for a house party ? The number of guests will be maximum 60.
When I say work well I mean clarity in the sound and that in all corners of the room the sound is clearly heard.
I was contemplating which one to buy for the above purpose ? LD MAUI 5 vs Evolve 30 vs Bose L1 Pro 8 ? Or any other suggestions?
I think for a house party, you might want more thump, and the 30 has a 10" sub so not tons of bass there. I think though for that crowd size for sure the 30m is great. If there is anyway you could get out to a music store and listen to some of those, or check with some other DJ's, I'd start there.
Excellent Review Buddy! I have the Evolve 50’s and they work great but want to get the 30M’s for smaller gigs. Question, do you have to use both pole mounts for the speaker to work? Because the 50 just has one pole. Thanks. Cheers!
Yeah, you can't just use one of them
Bought a pair of these and also an 18" EV ELX200 sub figuring the extra sub would be great if I need to pump the volume and keep the low end toned down on the 30ms Can't wait to try them out at a venue (just getting back into the mobile DJ world after a long absence).
Do you run RCA from your mixer to the first 30M and XLR output from the first 30M to the second? Curious about your setup. Thanks for the video!
I now use an external mixer and would run my controller (xlr) into the mixer, than out of the mixer to each 30m and go stereo. Adding the extra sub is a great idea. Let me know what you think!
I only use my Evolve 50 or my RCF Evox Jmix 8 for weddings more bass. I only use my 30’s for small events.
I'd love to hear the Evox Jmix 8's live
@@AaronStrawn RCF makes sensational products. I have a few different sets of RCF speakers.
SOLD!
"This is great, right?" That got me dude, thumbs up hahahaha
Thank you Aaron, awesome video. I bought evolve 30 , just wondering what type control parameters required to set up for live show
You’ll have to monitor your gains with each song. I try and get everything to 0 db then push track gains for extra volume.
Thanks Mate, much appreciated
Do you think this system is good enough for 300 -400 sqm indoor hall?
@@asutoshashti8034 I tried to do the conversion to feet for that room haha, hope I’m right. I can’t say yes or no. Only cause I’m not sure your objectives. I think these are great for a under 150 party right at the dance floor. For more coverage, have 2 and spread them out or have another speaker. Just my thoughts!
I love my evolve 50s and if I need to supplement are use my Yamaha DXR tens great sound great luck sleek design
50s are dope
Just getting into these now, im using 2 mackie thump 12's with a small desk but need somehting smaller and lighter, am i going to be close with just the one? I know they wont have the same "thump" 🤦 but would it be enough to replace my old set up? Great vid!! Must add, keys, voice and backing tracks ...
I don't know if this would be smaller and lighter for you. More compact for sure, and you probably only need one for what you are doing. They usually have one at a Guitar Center, you should go demo it!
for you events of 100-150 are you using just one 30 or two??? trying to see if I need to buy two of them for my wedding needs. Love the video!
So...full disclosure- I sold these. They didn't cut it for weddings for me. I moved ahead and got the RCF Jmix8s and they are the better column system for weddings. I got a review on them!
@@AaronStrawn Thank you!! Will go and watch that one!
Hi Arron, great video review on the Evolve 30m. I'm thinking purchasing speaker set up such as this looks very compact. So this came out in 2020. What is the price of this model nowadays or is there a newer model i should be looking at?
No newer model, and price has gone up since I bought it cause the world is nuts right now.
@@AaronStrawn oh ok cool. I’ll be checking it out.
Tengo el par , pero desearía saber cómo evitar que la línea que va al 2do Ev , no le llegue con una señal amplia y sea parejo al momento de subir el volumen
What do you think for a duo? Acoustic, vocals and bass guitar with a Beat Buddy drum pedal ?
I’m currently using a Bose Compact with a small mixer
Now, I think it's better suited for that than weddings. Room size and coverage are some other factors to consider
you crack me up - that's some funny *$%^#@ I bought the EV 50m and It's awesome. great job dude..
Thanks so much, glad you had fun!
I wished you did a demo on your phone for the mixer. I dont want to be anywhere near this thing. I prefer to be away from this drink box when i do ceremonies, like across the room or ceremony area. Thanks for the review though.
Yeah, the phone range is limited to Bluetooth
can you use only one spacer if the ceiling is really low?
No, you gotta use both
Will a powered monitor work with this unit? Thank you in advance.
Hi...not sure if my questions will reach someone...but need to try.
When you say a gig of 150 or 200 people...is it for 1 EV30m or a KIT (2) EV30m ?
In your video...you show a KIT.
Is it better having : 2 x EV30m OR 1 x EV50m ? (roughly 600$ difference) for a group of 150 people
I know that it all depends of the place. But imagine a regular room sized to accomodate 150 people.
I currently use 2 Mackie 450 + QSC K1 Sub 1000. Wanting to know if I should replace the Mackies or ADD to them.
So after having them for over a year, I would say that these are actually better for smaller crowds. Under 100, and you would still need a pair. If you want to handle up to 150, i would go with the pair of 50's or check out the RCF J8's. I reviewed those too.
I have the EV 15BTs. Would you recommend going to these? I usually don't do more than 200
I've never heard them in person but they look solid. I think it's all what you like. If you like tops on a pole, these should be great. If you ever want to move to column speakers, most of them are good enough for 200 people
Aron am planing to buy evolve 30m to play alone with my bass guitar with some backing track to practice in my room. Do u think volev 30m would do a fair job for me.
It depends on the size of the room and how many. If you are in a mid-size room and around 100-150, I think you should be golden. See if you can get to a music store and listen to them
How do you compare this to the Evolve 50 and 50M? Sound, Power, Performance?
I don't have any experience with the 50. From what I've seen and read, it should be louder
Woooo! great! I have a doubt. The compare between Yamaha Stagepas 1k or Evolve 30m 1k? For the club, wich is better, dude? Thx!
I don't think these would be good for a club. You'll want more bass and these are only a 10" sub. I'd go up to either the 50s or look at something with at least a 15" sub. Hope that helps!
Will I need a powered wedge to go out of the auxiliary?
Yeah, I think so
Did you sell these? I see you bought the RCF JMIx8. If you needed more volume why didn't you go for the EV50 instead of the RCF?
Nope! In fact, I used both sets this weekend. The RCFs on Friday and EVs on Sat. I didnt go for the 50's cause I wanted to try the RCF's out and see the difference.
@@AaronStrawn So the RCFs have better bass and are louder than the EV30s. So under what circumstances would you take the EV30s over the RCF?
@@WWeiss-nv5vz smaller venue/crowd
Aloha Brother. What’s the difference between Music and Club on the speaker settings? Which of the two do you prefer using on your wedding gigs?
Full disclosure- I sold these lol. Why? Because I'm a nut. When I had them, I put them on Music mode. Both were cool.
They sound so cool, do you know if they are louder (more bass) than the Evox J8's?
Not in my experience. J8s much louder
@@AaronStrawn Very good to know, thanks! Cheaper and louder.. will go compare them at a shop for sure.
In your review, were you using a pair or a single EV30M? Thanks!
In the review I was just showing one, but I do have 2 and I take them both to gigs
@@AaronStrawn thanks for sharing the product reviews. appreciate them. I saw/heard one RCF evoxJ8 in a bar and was shocked at the fullness and power of the sound. Debating whether to buy 1 as opposed to 2 for backyard parties and whatnot. I'm not a DJ, I just want better sound for my big rowdy family.
Quick quesiton: Can we pair 2 Evolve 30Ms into a single sound system like we can with the Bose and JBL speakers?
Ready to buy a pair for the new house.. just tryna figure out if we can go all out with these.
You can pair them and use the mixer feature, but can't play music this way
Kramer: installed!
My fav show
Been getting opinions (watching lots of YT) as I'm trying to decide between the Evolve 50s and the new Bose Pro 32. Yeah I know the Bose is twice the price, but I've heard lots of DJs saying the 50's just can't handle 200+ people. Some DJs say they can't even handle 150 people.
My first PA before I bought these was 1 Bose L1 MII and a B2 bass and it worked for me for crowds up to 250. I saw one of Brian’s newest videos and he makes an excellent point. It’s all about your sound objectives. For me, like I said in the video, I want that dance floor to feel loud with out ear bleedin.
If you can, try and listen to the 50s or the new Bose and see which one you like best. I think you’ll be good for weddings for sure with any of those
czcams.com/video/KW3CDbeZoqI/video.html ⬅️ video I’m talking about
I’ve been using the 50s for over a year now and I’ve never lacked for power. As others have stated the sound is more focused on the dance floor and dissipates somewhat when it gets to the audience. I used to get a lot of complaints or requests to turn down the volume with my DXR15’s and 10’s. Haven’t had that happen with the EV’s. I can crank the music for the dancers and the people who want to hang back are happy campers.
Can you stack effects on each channel or is it only one effect at a time?
I'm not sure about that
When you use 2 of these together, are they recognised as 1 on the app or 2 seperate mixers?
2 separate. You can name them too
@@AaronStrawn OK so do you connect them from the mix out channel into 5/6? Also are you able to get the same sound in stereo on both or would you need to make adjustments on both mixers?
@@ashlengovender I'd love to know if you can hook up 2 of these like Yamaha Stagepass 1K where 2 units can function as 1 larger mono PA system with double the inputs?
Would you recommend this for Proms/Homecomings in say school Gyms/Cafeterias etc?
Nope. 10” subs will evaporate. I wouldn’t recommend any column system for a prom/gym. I just don’t think they were designed for it
Reasonable for a restaurant patio set?
I think so, that would be a great option
How do you link the two ev 30m together?
I use an XLR cable and go Mix Out from the Right speaker into Channel 5 on the Left. Using the app, you can pair them both as well, and then you can use the mixer
Great video man. I’m sold $$
Go check them out live if you can. I will add that after owning them for over a year, they are better for smaller gigs
How large of a venue can these handle, inside, outside?
Smaller venues and crowds for sure if you want to use them to DJ. It's all about placement and coverage. The smaller subs (10") mean that it will be for smaller crowds
Any idea if EV30 can send individual monitor feeds to in-ear monitors?
Not sure on that
How does it compare to JBL Eon One MK2?
I got you. I just compared them here: czcams.com/video/dnUpcIN7aiY/video.html
Just saw this bro. I purchased to 30m this week. I see your reaction now, but if I bring a filler speaker like and ev ekx12 would that be okay for a 150 wedding?
Depends on the size of the room. I would bring that extra sub for sure. My personal opinion now is these are not enough for weddings. Even smaller ones
Hi I just buy me these speakers will you mind having any videos to set up both speakers to my mixer thank you
You can connect both speakers via Bluetooth for the mixer. Just XLR out of your board to each speaker
I'm having a problem recently, sometimes when I'm connecting my phone to my ev 30 m speaker and listening if someone calls me on the phone or if I stop the music for a min and start again, the sound start to break ! Things that didn't happen before, so I have to disconnect and connect again my bluetoith to keep listening to the music, can anyone pls help me with that? Thank you.
Haven’t had that happen. One thing to do is put your phone in airplane mode (turn Bluetooth back on) when connected. That will keep calls from interrupting
I need 😫 one
How much
@@gustavovillegas4744 I believe they’re around $1200 right now
I'm going to DJ an anniversary party with about 85 people. Going to take the 30m's out for their fist gig. I'm hoping it will be enough coverage. It's indoors so I think I should be ok.
I've learned since that the 10" subs don't really hold up. You might want to bring an extra sub
@AaronStrawn Thanks for the heads up. I'll take a couple of elx 200 12 sp's. Any idea where I should cross over the subs? 80, 100 , or 120?
Do the 30ms have a delay function?
I believe so. Can set it up in the menu
Do the 50 and 50m sound any different? Is the mixer the only upgrade?
I think the mixer is the only difference.
@@AaronStrawn maybe the direct link also. But as far as sound there are to many damn flavors to choose from. I have a budget of 3500 what sounds the best all around tops/bottoms/column at that price? Weddings /events 12-300 people and 75 kids running around the f&$@ing dance floor? Thanks man.
YOu are a natural
Thanks so much!
Depende para que lo uses...si eres DJ, te quedarás corto....para musica en vivo , guitarras, percusiones, tal vez piano y voces...funciona excelente...
I sold them. For me, I agree, they ended up falling a bit short for my DJ needs
Hey Aaron- came across your video. I'm looking into purchasing my first Collumn Array system, and am looking at Pros/Cons on Bose L1 and the EV systems right now. EV seems pretty clear overal from what I heard in a Guitar center recently. I'm looking to use the system for Live music in solo settings- small bars, restaurants, probably places with 200 people or less. Since some time has passed since you put this video up, I was curious, if the 30M's are still going well for you, or if you tried the Evolve 50M at all? I'm wondering if paying more for the extra power (The 50M) is worth it. I don't do any DJing at all so my purpose is strictly for Live sound- Vocals/Acoustic Guitar, and Occasional music during set breaks. Thanks.
I wouldn't count on these for that kind of crowd or room size. My opinion has def changed with real life experience. I would rather be over powered and dial back than be in the red. That's why I switched over the Bose 32 system. Way more headroom, and for smaller parties, I can just use one of them. Hope that helps!
Not enough coverage?! Seriously? I bought my pair today and I tested them out and my basement shook and my phone on Bluetooth was barely on half volume! Lol
Well, in a basement sure, they'll crush. My experience with them out at mid/large sized venues, they fell short
@@AaronStrawn ah I see. What was the going crowd size?
Are you using two of them? I mean, are you using it in stereo?
I was
@@AaronStrawn not any more? What are you using now?
@@milanosde I sold them. I was wrong here, lol. Not enough juice for weddings in my opinion. I talk about it here: czcams.com/video/iYQsMN47urE/video.html
They look good and are better built but the Bose L1 Pro line sound far better. More clarity and detail.
Plus you get that dispersion which is so helpful in filling the room
Yeah, no offense but db is all people talk about. If the response is muddy and there is a hole in it who cares!
I bought one of these for my ceremony set up and I thought it sounded great. I then hooked up and iPod in a separate room for cocktail hour and it just wasn’t loud enough. I’m really hoping it’s user error on my end. I used a 1/8” - 1/4” cable and connected it to one of the lines. Should I used the aux channel instead? If I can get more sound I’ll probably buy the second.
Huh, was the room pretty big? I am surprised it wasn't loud enough for cocktail hour. Did you notice it wasn't filling the room enough? There is a main volume and a channel volume too. Try bumping the main volume up.
Goddamn I wish EV’d come out with an Evolve 80M -15in woofers. 100% of my weddings are outdoors and I want thump.
I been saying this forever
EV 100M 18in !
@@WWeiss-nv5vz ok I feel you
Maui44G2 or Evox 12
Buy a powered 18” sub and on the set the crossover in the sub and come out of the Aux on the 30M
👌🏻😀
😂hahahaha 😅🤗
Did you REALLY have to curse and drop an F-bomb in this video???
Are you ok?
@@AaronStrawn one tries to watch a simple DJ equipment video with their sub 10 yr. old children in the room and you drop back-to-back profanities for no good reason.
Are YOU okay? Do you use that language when addressing a wedding ceremony crowd? Very unnecessary…
As soon as you said you don't give a shit I gave thumbs down. Terrible review, do your homework
Good review but the profanity is unnecessary. Clean up your act and you may get more subscribers.
Just being me bro
Brings me back! 👊
Wow enough unnecessary language
Are you ok?
It’s a ceremony speaker at best or some guitarist/singer at Potbelly.
I agree
Awesome.. got one early 2021 for my one man band/dj/karaoke gig at a small bistro residency (80 capacity) just no room yet for one more 30M.. I originally bought evolve 50 but it blew the doors off the place.. love this unit. One quick question, how would I connect a small powered 5 inch monitor to this unit..? (I just subscribed and thank you)
Thanks Jon!
One thing you can do is connect the monitor either to the Aux or Mix out
@@AaronStrawn Thanx so much
