Electro-Voice EVOLVE50M-SB-G2 Description
The Electro-Voice EVOLVE50M-SB-G2 is the powered low-frequency and mixer component of the second-generation EVOLVE 50M portable column PA system. Its 12-inch woofer delivers deep, controlled bass, while an optimized laminar-flow port enhances low-frequency efficiency and output. The integrated 1500W Class-D amplifier supplies power to both the subwoofer and the separately available EVOLVE50-TB-G2 column array. When paired with the compatible column and distance pole, the complete system delivers up to 129 dB maximum SPL, 120° horizontal by 40° vertical coverage, and extended low-frequency response down to 37 Hz. This makes the complete system suitable for events with audiences of up to 300 people, depending on the venue and application.
The subwoofer base houses a fully featured 8-channel digital mixer designed for musicians, DJs, and live sound professionals who need multiple audio inputs without an external mixing console. Four XLR/TRS microphone and line inputs, additional stereo line connections, an instrument input, stereo RCA and 3.5 mm connections, and Bluetooth audio streaming provide flexibility for microphones, instruments, playback devices, and other audio sources. Switchable 48V phantom power supports compatible condenser microphones, while independent Mix and Aux outputs allow additional audio routing. Two onboard effects engines provide 38 available audio effects for vocals and instruments, with a footswitch input for convenient performance control.
Advanced QuickSmartDSP processing provides Music, Live, Speech, and Club presets, three-band system equalization, five user-programmable presets, automatic feedback suppression, and music ducking. These features help operators optimize sound for different rooms, music styles, and performance requirements. The 2.8-inch full-color LCD and rotary DSP control provide convenient access to mixer settings, audio adjustments, and system monitoring. The Electro-Voice QuickSmart App 3.0 extends these controls to compatible iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, allowing wireless mixing, effects adjustments, speaker grouping, and system management.
For expanded configurations, QuickSmart Link allows two compatible EVOLVE G2 systems to exchange digital audio and control information through a standard Ethernet cable. When two EVOLVE 50M G2 systems are linked, operators can access additional mixer inputs and manage a larger audio setup. Bluetooth True Wireless Stereo offers another option for wireless stereo music playback with compatible systems. The subwoofer's sturdy plywood enclosure features a protective polyurea coating, a black powder-coated steel grille, and redesigned ergonomic carrying handles. Its top mounting connection accepts the compatible aluminum distance pole and column array, creating a clean, tool-free setup with integrated audio signal routing. The EVOLVE50M-SB-G2 is suitable for replacing an existing powered mixer base or completing a system when the matching column and pole assembly are already available.

Important: This product includes the black powered subwoofer base with integrated 8-channel digital mixer only. The EVOLVE50-TB-G2 column speaker array, aluminum distance pole, and padded carrying bag are not included and must be purchased separately. The published 129 dB maximum SPL, 120° x 40° coverage, and full-range frequency specifications apply to the complete EVOLVE 50M G2 system with its compatible column speaker, not the subwoofer alone. This is the EVOLVE 50M G2 mixer-equipped powered base, not the standard EVOLVE 50 G2 subwoofer without the integrated 8-channel mixer.
