Why is my Electro-Voice speaker sound distorted and the front LED is off?
- M
  Marvin WilliamsAug 14, 2025
  Distortion and the LED being off usually indicates an excessive input level or an incorrect gain structure. Try reducing the input level or loudspeaker level knobs to prevent the limit. Also, verify the level controls of the source are properly structured by using the VU meter indicator on the LCD screen. If the VU meter bar is solid or the system indicates LIMIT, the input or source level is too high.

What to do if my Electro-Voice EVOLVE produce acoustic feedback when the input level is amplified?
- E
  Erica AdamsAug 17, 2025
  Acoustic feedback typically arises from incorrect gain structure, the mode being set to MUSIC, or the microphone being too close to the loudspeaker. Try these solutions: * 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. * Position the microphone close to the sound source to increase gain-before-feedback. * Change the MODE to LIVE or SPEECH. * Whenever possible, set up the loudspeakers so the microphone is behind them. If using the loudspeaker in a monitor position, aim the loudspeaker to the back of the microphone.

How to fix Electro-Voice EVOLVE with no sound?

  David NorrisAug 21, 2025
  If your speakers aren't producing any sound, the issue could stem from the amplifier or the wiring. First, verify all the electronics are on, the signal routing is correct, the source is active, and the volume is turned up. Correct, repair, or replace components as necessary. If there's still no sound, the problem may be wiring. Check that you have connected the correct cables to the amplifier.

What to do if my Electro-Voice speaker has constant noise like buzzing or hissing?
- M
  Michelle EvansAug 26, 2025
  Constant noise usually comes from a defective source, poor system grounding, or the input gain knob not being correctly set. If noise is present even when no program material is playing, evaluate each component to isolate the problem. Most likely there is a break in the signal path. Check and correct the system grounding, as required. Ensure the input gain knob is correctly set by slowly increasing the input gain knob level to engage the microphone pre-amp.

Why is there no sound produced when a microphone is connected to INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 on my Electro-Voice speaker?
- D
  Diana HillAug 28, 2025
  If you're not getting sound with a microphone connected, it could be due to the microphone requiring phantom power or the input gain knob not being in the correct position. Use a dynamic microphone that does not require phantom power (+15 V). Also, slowly increase the input gain knob level to engage the microphone pre-amp.
