Portable PA loudspeakers

Seven families. One stage-ready line.

From the battery-powered EVERSE to the flagship ETX — every Electro-Voice portable family in one place: what makes each one special, and when it's time to step up the line.

EVIVA — the accessible start

The first serious PA — real EV sound at a price that gets you started.

Patented SST clarity, 1,000 watts and Bluetooth streaming from a box you carry one-handed.

  • 1,000 W with up to 126 dB from the tops, 132 dB from the matched 18-inch sub.

  • Patented SST keeps the response time-aligned and even.

  • Two combo mic/line inputs, XLR mix out and Bluetooth streaming.

For: first PA buyers · small venues · mobile starters.

EVERSE — battery-powered

Start anywhere — pro sound with no outlet at all.

The only battery family in the line: six-plus hours at full output, weatherized enclosures and a four-channel mixer powered by Dynacord. When the gig plugs in and wants more level, the line steps up from here.

  • Six-plus hours at full output, twelve-plus at moderate levels.

  • IP43 weather resistance for rooftops, patios and pop-ups.

  • 12 V DC port powers a wireless mic receiver — a self-contained rig.

For: creators · instructors · off-grid events.

EVOLVE — column systems

The different shape — column coverage that carries in one trip.

Not a rung on the ladder but a path of its own: slim columns spread 120° of even coverage over seated and standing crowds, with onboard mixers voiced with Dynacord and up to 2,000 watts in the EVOLVE 90.

  • 120° horizontal coverage angled for seated and standing listeners.

  • Eight-channel digital mixers on the M models — the PA and the mixer in one carry.

  • Five systems from the one-armful 30M to the 134 dB EVOLVE 90.

For: mobile DJs · corporate & weddings · houses of worship.

  • Powered and passive models in 8-, 12- and 15-inch sizes.

  • Onboard mixer powered by Dynacord, with Bluetooth stereo streaming and app control.

  • Five system modes including FRFR Guitar for modeler rigs.

EKX — the output play

Fifteen hundred watts up top — and a sub that steers its bass.

  • 1,500 W tops with up to 134 dB max SPL.

  • QuickSmart DSP: four presets, crossovers, three-band EQ, five user slots.

  • EKX-18SP cardioid subwoofer cuts stage bleed by up to 35 dB.
