The evolve 30m is light, powerful, sounds great. I do a solo show playing acoustic guitar & vocal while also playing kick and snare drum triggers with my feet. So, I needed at least 4 channels plus 2 more to play music during my breaks. This replaced a ton of gear in 1 shot for me. I was bringing 1) a mixer 2) a subwoofer, 3) speaker stands 4) a pair of small PA mains. 5) the power supplies, cords, and cables to hook all those up! This thing meant I wouldn't need ANY of that stuff anymore! The mixer app is a little basic looking esthetically, but it does the job well. It's simple and intuitive. The effects (reverbs etc) are pretty decent too. So I can quickly dial in EQ, compression, FX's, and levels and get on with my show. I worried if it would sound good enough, big enough, loud enough? I am a few gigs in, onenof which at an outdoor tiki bar and this thing cranks. I am happy I took the leap! I think even up to a good power trio band could do well with a pair of these and some stage monitors in most clubs.

"WOW," is the first impression you get when you hear this mean machine cranked up only one 1/4 of the way. I purchased this to use as an alternative PA system for our church services. Honestly, it outperforms our primary PA system, so much so, it has become the principal "go to" unit now. You won't believe the quality of sound until you're engaged in how compact this system is. Who would have thought this compact system would shake the walls and blow you out the room. It does just that and even more. I love it.

I am a long time musician and I have owned every PA imaginable. The Evolve is wonderful. It sounds very full . It is loud . The bass response is tight and the miss and highs are extremely clear . The mixer section is more than adequate and the effects sound good . Amazingly easy to set up . Great speaker!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Myself and everyone else cannot believe the quality of the sounds from the Evolve 30m. We used this during rehearsal the other night and the sound was crystal clear anywhere in the room.

"Awesome sound"

I have been looking for the past few years for the right system for me, I DJ for all kinds of events from school dances to birthday parties weddings and many other events. I have a large system and it's great, I just wanted something smaller to get around yet has a good sound that I want, let me tell you these Evolve 30M are the best choice I believe I could have made. They hit beyond my expectations on the low ends and the mids and highs are perfect. There much easier to set up and take down, much more compact, and for the price it's perfect in my eyes. Thanks zZounds. I've been buying from yall for about 14 years now.

I switched from a full box Amp, EQ, etc... box and JBL Speakers to the EV 30Mand I don't regret my move at all. We are a keyboard, guitar and singer trio and play from classic rock to Spanish rock, pop, salsa, etc... and the sound is incredible. I am in the process of getting my second unit for bigger gigs.

My friend purchased this set and used while DJ at Drive Shack on the third floor. I could hear the clarity when I pulled into the parking lot. As I got closer to the third floor I could hear the low end. Great sounding speaker and easily transportable. I didn’t hesitate to purchase these. I no longer have to tote the ETXs anymore for gig that don’t need that much sound. These will handle any crowd up 200 ppl.

"Evolve 30M Is Clutch"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Love the size weight and convenience for my smaller events. I also use the 30M for wedding ceremonies. The 30M was clutch this past weekend. I was informed at the last minute that a keyboard player needed to "hookup through the DJ's system". Something I was totally unaware of and initially told them I had nothing to hook up to .. (completely forgetting about the 30M mixer). We plugged in an extra mic and the keyboard and BOOM, ready to go for the ceremony song. Love these.
