Electro-Voice EVOLVE 90 Column Loudspeaker System - Black
Additional Photos:
The EVOLVE family is a proven leader in portability and the EVOLVE 90 follows this tradition. Advanced materials combined with ergonomic design principles ensure that the acoustic performance exceeds customer expectations while also being the lightest and most portable model in its class. In fact, the EVOLVE 90, even with the column array class-leading 18" subwoofer, is lighter than some competing 15" models.
Delivering a maximum SPL of 134 dB, EVOLVE 90 features eight 4.7" neodymium drivers for clear, powerful 120°-wide consistent coverage via propriety waveguides, with array-formed asymmetrical 25° vertical coverage. Advanced FIR processing ensures linear frequency response and phase alignment. The 18" subwoofer takes low frequency extension down to 28 Hz. This massive bass output, combined with the highly efficient laminar-flow vent design and powerhouse 4" voice coils ensure maximum performance and sustained high output, perfect for bass heavy dance music.
Electro-Voice's largest format column loudspeaker system includes ample connections for microphones, line level, bluetooth and digital signals increasing flexibility for accommodating nearly any professional situation. These include XLR/TRS combo Mic-Line inputs, XLR and RCA line level inputs, and digital AES/EBU. EVOLVE 90 is also integrated into the recently updated QuickSmart Mobile App ecosystem, which allows the user to control it as part of a system with other Bluetooth-enabled EV portable speakers.
EVOLVE 90 caters to the evolving needs of professional users including DJs, bands, production companies, event organizers, and venues. Designed for rapid deployment, EVOLVE 90 features the EVOLVE 3-2-1 approach for assembly, which has set the standard in the industry for fast setup and teardown. As 3-2-1 promises, the three pieces fit together in two clicks to form one system.
Available in black or white, EVOLVE 90 elevates the design of the EVOLVE family, relying on lightweight materials and ergonomic design principles to ensure maximum portability and the familiar striking look. An aluminum distance pole separates the tops from the subs, while the neodymium drivers and advanced materials keep the weight low. The included carrying case for the array and distance pole combined with an available accessory transport dolly ensure that EVOLVE's reputation for portability is maintained.

Q & A

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
