Great Video! Thanks! Just bought a pair of Evolves and was tossing up between the slip on cover or the rolling case. Will be getting the latter, thanks again!
Val Beccia what’s cool is that you still have the option to use a rolling cart if needed. Simply lay the cases in their side and you roll large setups in on the cart (if needed) and then roll these to a remote cocktail area or something. Or for small gigs where not a lot of gear is needed you can just roll them in independently. I do wish they had a larger side pocket for longer XLR wires. 🙂 Enjoy.
Can I ask u if the Evolve 30m is just as good? And which do u prefer? My gigs are usually. Less than 125 people..or around 125 people max.. U have a great travel tutorial here... Are they thumping? Do they do a good job indoor as well as outdoor?? Good bass? How's the sound quality? Oh! How much for two? Thanks rachel sorry I asked a lot of questions.. But its just because u DA BOMB! lol... and thankyou for this tutorial. You always showcase stuff and explain it clearly and concisely with nice pace u never rush through ur stuff. Thanks thanks thanks...
Bryan Calhoun for any DJ application beyond a ceremony or cocktail speaker I would recommend the the 50s over the 30M. I think it’s important to have the headroom. What I find great about the Evolves is that they don’t throw sound as far as a traditional top does. So it allows you to keep the sound centralized on the dance floor and people can still chat and socialize elsewhere around the room. Unfortunately you just missed a sale, they were $150 off. One EV50 is about $1,300 give or take a little. Find me on Facebook. I have a video there you’ll find helpful that will answer a lot of your questions. 🙂 All in all the evolve 50s are perfect for crowds 50-150 people depending on the size the room and area of coverage you need.
@@DJRachelLynch I'm now a very happy new owner of a pair of white Evolve 30Ms and they sound and look awesome. The Evolve 50s certainly have a bigger sound in every way as is to be expected considering their larger footprint and higher price, particularly the Evolve 50M. I really wanted a pair of Evolve 50Ms but I simply couldn't justify their huge price increase as compared to the Evolve 30Ms. As a musician, the Evolve 30Ms will be perfect, particularly their more compact, lighter footprint. You're videos are excellent. Keep up the great work!
Rache, your videos are so awesome. So detailed, you hit the important aspects, video work on point, and you speak so well and the camera loves you. I’m shopping and it was between the 30m and Bose L1 Pro 16, but now I’m looking at the 50m, would love to have the 180 range of the Bose, but other than the fabulous sound the design with the columns is garbage and sloppy. I’m finding that EV is superior in many ways. Trying to decide by Black Friday.
If I am spending over 4-500 for something it always gets a case or cover. I have my first set of EV's I bought like 7 years ago that have been all over and they still look brand new. Even minor bumps going through a door or a cable smacking against it can add up over time if not protected.
Excellent product, for ceremonies or small events, I recommend the electro voice brand. I work with the ETX -15P line. congratulations Dj. Many successes and greetings from Cancun, Mexico. at your service with a team to work in the Mexican Caribbean Bye
These are nice cases, much better than the slip covers I have on mine now but I use a Rock n Roller extendable cart which allows me to do one trip in one trip out. With these cases, controller, table, bin of cables and lights seems like you'd have to do multiple trips.
Ludwig Alvarez these are good for a few things. Today I did a gig at a gym. I only needed to bring one of these speakers and a bag with my laptop, wires and Roland 707m. No cart needed. Everything came in with one trip. Also if you are using a cart due to a lot of gear at large events, these are great for rolling a speaker to the cocktail hour or the outdoor ceremony where you wouldn’t want to use your whole entire cart. They have their place. 😀
Hi Manny! Thanks for stopping by the channel to check this out. I use my Evolve 50s for about 80% of all of my events. They are AMAZING and probably the most versatile speaker I own. I do however bring bigger speakers for larger events if needed. I think a DJ should bring the right tool for the right job. These are great for average sized events and venues, but sometimes I need a little extra. That’s when I bring my ETX 10p tops and ETX subs.
Does this case break down (crumple) when no speaker inside? one thing I liked about the regular cover/zipper cases that it can tuck away under your DJ table etc. But possibly may just have to repack in car when not in use? More concerned about space in the home - would love to tuck away in my closet
Do the rolling cases with the tops actually fit through a normal door or do you have to take the sticks off to have them fit? It looks like from your video, you had them off to get through your own door. Thanks
My cases ripped after a year of every Friday and Saturday use. The zippers I feel need work to have them reinforce. The wheels don't even roll over carpet with the sticks on top. I was hopping they would come out with an updated version with better wheels and again, a better zipper but, so far no luck on that. For the price of them, I would have hopped they stood up better for me.
Sorry to here this! As an update with mine, the only thing that has ripped is the belt buckle that hold the tops. Those straps have torn off and some of the paint has scratched off the telescoping handle. My cases are in great shape otherwise. I will say the small wheels hate gravel and grass, but it’s nothing someone couldn’t swap out for larger wheels. Appreciate your update on them. So far mine are still working out for me. I heard these are discontinued…🤔
How do you like those tops ? i really love how compact and light they look, but never heard them in person.. it looks like a cocktail speaker, not an event speaker.. am i wrong ? I plan on buying new tops within the next couple of months, and I'd rather go lighter, then heavier .. great vid DJ Rachel....
Itsa Me DJ Mario the EV Evolve 50 system I PERFECT for crowds 150-250 (depending on the size of the room. Don’t let the compact size fool you. This is absolutely not just a cocktail hour system. This system has great coverage and full clear sound. This EV system honestly covers 80% of my mobile Dj needs. I do have other speakers available if I need more sound but I think you’d love these for your average wedding or party.
I just checked these speakers out in the flesh. Rest assured, these speakers have enough kick that the management of the store I was testing the Evolves in made me turn things down. Sound quality is definitely above a cocktail speaker. It handled a bass-heavy House track with no problem.
So, I've been using my Evolve 50s for about a year now but have to say that the case just isn't holding up. The zippers are nylon and they have broken; the wheels are too small for the weight so when you roll over anything slightly rough, they just won't roll well. Padding on the inside is good; just a little weak on the other parts.
Mine have held up great. Still on the original bags, but I do agree the small wheels are problematic on grass and surfaces with large grooves. I usually put them on my RNR cart and wheel them in and then use the roller bags to move them around the venue which is convenient. Also they work well in parking lots, retail spaces, and other smoother surfaces. I still find them helpful.
Excellent. The wheels have held up great! I had one nonessential strap rip but my subs look mint! It’s been a great case. I do wish the wheels were bigger they do some time to get caught on the sidewalk or little lips. I was thinking about buying bigger wheels for it. I’m still brainstorming.
Love them. I use them for about 80% of my events. I bring bigger when needed. If you check out my other gigs logs on the channel you’ll be able to see them in action! 🙌🏻❤️
@@DJRachelLynch Thanks Rachel...I have a dj friend in Canada and he was looking at a set of the 50's...I pretty much told him he would not be disappointed in them
Hello There. Amazing job as always. I just picked up the 50 M and i was wondering if you could help me. When i plug in xlr into ev with a 3.5 m cable into ipad, i get tons of static. Omg.. i have never seen this before with any of my speakers. Please let mw know. I appreciate your help.
You’re saying it has a XLR and a 3.5 end? Or is it 3.5 to 3.5? Or RCA to 3.5? Just trying to understand exactly what you’re using. Shouldn’t be any static regardless, but at least it will help me troubleshoot depending on where you’re plugging it in.
@@DJRachelLynch thank you for your attention. I am using a cable that is XLR for the evolve and 3.5 m headphone input into the ipad. I want to be able to play my iPad during cocktail hour by connecting to the evolve. I normally connect it to my DJ controller extra channel. I was just curious as to why there is static when I use the connection I just mentioned above. I am wondering if you ever plugged in an iPad directly into the evolve. Thank you again..
@@superdad8274 this is going to sound silly but make sure your 3.5MM end is all the way in. If you’re using an adapter (since newer iPads don’t have a a 3.5MM jack) it will make a buzzz if the wire isn’t making a good connection with the iPad. Make sure you’re also using a quality apple approved hub or dongle.
Dannys Tacos and DzDj Entertainment I also have a day job but I DJ full time too. Gear goes out every weekend so I need things that are reliable and portable. Thanks for watching.
DJ Rachel no that’s perfect. I’m currently in process of purchasing a set of the Evolve. Didn’t see any mention on Amazon that the tops come with a case. I found the rolling bag like you have in your video. Thanks for your video and quick response. 🔊🎶
@@DJRachelLynch - Thank you for answering this question. I've been rolling through EV, Amazon, and trying to figure out how to find the cases for the tops! So I order an Evolve 50 system, it comes with top speaker, sub, pole and case for the top / pole. Am I understanding that correctly? Thanks!
The rolling case is only good if you are rolling it. if loading in you are going up or down the stairs, then it is a different story. The top and side handles are not proportionally to the weight of the amp. This is its major fault. Looks nice but not practical unless you are going on a straight line
15danzon Check this gig log out. ruclips.net/video/EBbVyehHtYY/видео.html I’m so happy I had these cases. There were stairs and using a rock and roller wouldn’t have worked for me. These are always helpful in my opinion, even if it’s just rolling in around inside the venue to where you need to place the speakers. I do you wish all the handles had the plastic grip like the top one and a side wire pocket but other than that I think it’s a great case. 🙂👌🏻
Rachel, I am liking the Evolves even more. The cases are definitely on my list.
I like these cases. This might push me over the edge to overhaul my sound system into something more compact like this
nice,...I have a Hyundai Santa Fe for my large set up and a Tucson for my smaller set ups...good job girl
Great Video! Thanks!

Hi Rachel! Nice product EV. I'll see you!
How big of a crowd can they handle I like how compact everything is specially be in a mobile DJ
Dj Brite Eyes 150-225 people no problem. Room size also makes a difference. So you could do more people in a smaller room obviously.
DJ Rachel Where did you order them from did you order online and if so which one of the companies did you use thinking about getting a pair
Dj Brite Eyes NLFX is a fantastic company! Ben Stowe will take care if you.
