Had the chance to road test the Evolve50 from Simply Sounds. Setting it up is easy, it all just clicks together. I tested it side by side with my own pa FBT Xlite 12’s and FBT 112sa subs by switching between the two systems.
Initially on startup with desk EQ all set to zero the Evolve sounded quite nice, the menu on the back is ok once you get used to it. However, as you start to push the volume up I found the bass punchy and the tops really crisp but overall I was expecting it to blow me away volume wise for the 3k price tag.
Running it side by side my own PA which comes in under the EVOLVE50 price by a few hundred pounds, it just didn't cut it for me. I would say it’s not a big venue PA but for smaller, more intimate gigs, then yes it’s good.
Overall I was expecting a bit more for the price but I’d still stick with my FBT’s.
