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?
- P
  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?
- M
  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.
