Electro-Voice EVOLVE50-SB-G2 Description
The Electro-Voice EVOLVE50-SB-G2 is the powered low-frequency module of the EVOLVE 50 G2 portable column loudspeaker system. Designed for professional mobile sound applications, it features a 12-inch woofer and an optimized laminar-flow vent that enhances low-frequency output and efficiency. The integrated 1500W Class-D amplifier provides 750W to the subwoofer and reserves another 750W for the compatible column speaker array. When paired with the separately available EVOLVE50-TB-G2 column and distance pole assembly, the complete system delivers up to 129 dB maximum SPL, a frequency response of 43 Hz to 20 kHz, and extended low-frequency performance down to 37 Hz (-10 dB).
The subwoofer base also houses the system's audio connections and digital signal processing electronics. Its integrated DSP provides Music, Live, Speech, and Club presets, three-band equalization, user-programmable settings, and automatic feedback suppression. Music ducking helps lower background music levels when announcements are made, while switchable 48V phantom power supports compatible condenser microphones. The color LCD and rotary control provide direct access to audio settings, and the Electro-Voice QuickSmart App allows wireless adjustments and system monitoring from compatible iOS and Android devices.
For audio connectivity, the EVOLVE50-SB-G2 includes two XLR/TRS microphone and line inputs, stereo RCA and 3.5 mm audio inputs, Bluetooth stereo streaming, and an XLR mix output. Bluetooth True Wireless Stereo provides wireless stereo playback capabilities with compatible speakers. The integrated RJ45 QuickSmart Link connection allows two compatible EVOLVE G2 systems to share digital audio and control information using a standard Ethernet cable. These features help simplify setup for mobile DJs, musicians, event professionals, and fixed sound installations.
Built for frequent transportation and demanding performance environments, the subwoofer features a sturdy plywood cabinet with a protective polyurea coating and a black powder-coated steel grille. Redesigned carrying handles make loading, unloading, and positioning more convenient. The top mounting connection is designed to accept the compatible EVOLVE 50 G2 distance pole and column array, creating a streamlined system with integrated signal routing and tool-free assembly. This subwoofer-only configuration is ideal for replacing an existing EVOLVE 50 G2 powered base or completing a system when the matching column speaker and pole assembly are already available.

Important: This product contains the powered subwoofer base only. The EVOLVE50-TB-G2 column speaker array, distance pole, and carrying bag are not included and must be purchased separately if needed. The published 129 dB maximum SPL, 120° x 40° coverage, and full-range frequency specifications apply to the complete EVOLVE 50 G2 system with its compatible column array, not to the subwoofer alone. This is the EVOLVE 50 G2 version, not the EVOLVE 50M G2 model with an 8-channel digital mixer.
