    What to do if my Electro-Voice Speaker System microphone produces acoustic feedback when the input level is amplified?
    • A
      Adrian ParkerAug 17, 2025
      If your microphone produces acoustic feedback when the input level is amplified, it may be due to an incorrect gain structure. Reduce the microphone levels at the mixing console or input source. If the microphone is connected directly to the speaker, reduce the input level on the speaker. Positioning the microphone close to the sound source increases gain-before-feedback. If the MODE is set to MUSIC, change it to LIVE or SPEECH. Also, position the loudspeakers so the microphone is behind them whenever possible. If using the loudspeaker in a monitor position, aim the loudspeaker to the back of the microphone.

    What to do if my Electro-Voice Speaker System has constant noise such as buzzing, hissing, or humming?

      Matthew KellyAug 21, 2025
      If you're experiencing constant noise like buzzing, hissing, or humming from your Electro-Voice Speaker System, and no program material is playing, evaluate each component to isolate the source of the noise. It's likely there's a break in the signal path. Also, check and correct the system grounding, as required. If the input gain knob is not in the MIC position, slowly increase the input gain knob level to engage the microphone pre-amp.

    What to do if my Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50 Speaker System sound is distorted and the front LED is OFF, LCD screen LIMIT is ON?

      Peggy JohnsonAug 26, 2025
      If the sound from your Electro-Voice Speaker System is distorted, the front LED is OFF, and the LCD screen shows LIMIT is ON, it indicates excessive input level. Reduce the input level or loudspeaker level knobs to prevent limiting.

    What to do if my Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50 Speaker System produces no sound with microphone connected to INPUT 1 or INPUT 2?

      Michael WilliamsAug 28, 2025
      If your Electro-Voice Speaker System produces no sound when a microphone is connected to INPUT 1 or INPUT 2, it might be because the microphone requires phantom power. Use a dynamic microphone that does not require phantom power (+15 V). If using a microphone requiring phantom power, enable PHANTOM POWER is the DSP menu, or use an external phantom power source. Also, ensure the input gain knob is not in the MIC position; slowly increase the input gain knob level to engage the microphone pre-amp.

    Why does my Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50 have intermittent output such as crackling or distortion?
    • S
      Stacy MathewsSep 1, 2025
      If your Electro-Voice Speaker System experiences intermittent output issues like crackling or distortion, begin by inspecting all connections at both the amplifier and loudspeakers. Ensure every connection is clean and securely tightened. Should the problem persist, proceed to examine the wiring.

    Why is there no sound coming from my Electro-Voice Speaker System?
    • Y
      yolsonNov 12, 2025
      If your Electro-Voice Speaker System isn't producing sound, first check that all electronic components are powered on, the signal routing is correctly configured, the audio source is active, and the volume is appropriately adjusted. Make necessary corrections, repairs, or replacements. If the issue persists, the problem might be related to the wiring. Verify that you've connected the correct cables to the amplifier. Play audio at a low level through the amplifier, then connect a test loudspeaker in parallel with the malfunctioning line. A significant drop or absence of sound indicates a short in the line, potentially caused by a scrape, pinch, or connection issue. Use the test loudspeaker to check each connection and junction until you locate and fix the problem, ensuring correct polarity ...
