Sarah Aili, Sound for Every Stage
The sound is round. The setup is 2 minutes.
Sarah Aili's jazz shows change shape from night to night: upright bass, guitar, two horns, three horns, vocalists, keys. The room has to be filled and the setup has to be fast, because the venues that rebook her are the ones that watch her roll in, set up, and sound great. Her rig for all of it is the Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50M.

The right system for this stage in her career
Sarah Aili fronts jazz shows that range from intimate combos to full ensembles with horns and upright bass. The lineup changes, the rooms change, and the one constant is the standard the band walks in with. What she carries to meet it has to be as flexible as the booking.
Fill every room, without slowing down the gig
A jazz combo one night, horns and upright bass the next: the band changes size, and the room changes with it. The sound has to reach every corner and carry all the little things the band wants people to hear. And it has to happen fast, because a venue notices the load-in almost as much as the show.
An EVOLVE 50M, mixed from the phone in her hand
The Electro-Voice EVOLVE 50M goes up in three pieces and two clicks, and the QuickSmart App puts every level right on her phone. Sarah brought it to the stage, set it up, and the band was live in 2 minutes.
Round sound that fills the empty spaces
In the room, the sound sat around the band instead of in front of it: round, filling in the empty spaces, carrying the little details the arrangements live on. And the speed pays for itself, because a band that rolls in, sets up, and sounds great is a band the venue wants to hire again. EV is her sound for every stage.
