Nice job! And the guitar, particularly with the 30m I'd say, sounds very pleasantly acoustic-y.

That's a Modern Deluxe with the Fishman Aura factory installed. It is the best "acoustic-y" tone I've heard. The K&K in my OM-21 isn't bad, but it doesn't sound as much like a mic'd acoustic as the MD.

Thanks for shooting and posting, Scott! Very informative as usual. Finally fully linked my flat-screen TV to my YouTube account so it was kind of hilarious to have you on the big screen like that!
My gut tells me the EAE may not have been EQ'd perfectly for that space; your wife's (amazing) voice sounded more boxy than I expect that great amp delivers. Subjective though, I'm probably the only who thinks so. The 30m sounded every bit as good as I've come to expect. I think the far extreme of your 180+ degree dispersion walkabout showed how the 30m does not quite have the wingspan of the Bose L's and Pros--but as we've said many times, perfectly fine for most scenarios. |

The difference is stark in the favour of the EV30M and I thought the D6-58 was supposed to sound fantastic and blow everything out of the water. A pity the weight is impossible for me because car ownership is near-impossible in my country

In a smaller, enclosed space (or even a larger one for that matter) the D6-58 does in fact sound great. We played a very large indoor farmers market and it sounded great. It just doesn't have the power or dispersion of the stick system. It's not a fair comparison by any means (which is why in my writing I stated it was definitely an apples to oranges comparison) and the last thing I want people to take away from the video is that the D6-58 is somehow not a great sounding amp because it certainly is. |

This is not the same however as a subwoofer coupled to the floor and a raised column of speakers which has a dispersion pattern that is far more appropriate for covering more people in a larger space. This is where the new stick systems shine over all-in-one combo amps or point source speakers like the QSCs. Like Scott, I am extremely happy with my D6-58. In my opinion, it is the finest acoustic guitar and vocals amp out there. There are many occasions where it is absolutely the right tool for the job. In my case, I use the D6-58 for practicing with amplification at home and doing small impromptu concerts for (and with) friends. There is also a lot of overlap. There are many places where either the D6-58 or the 30M are going to be fine. The D6-58 has a built in battery which lasts for several hours, so it pulls ahead in some of these for convenience. Also, I think a combo amp is a much better fit for playing in a group where you want an amp but aren’t supplying the PA. In this context, the wonderful dispersion of the 30M is going to compete with the PA sound. A combo amp is a far better fit for this very common situation. |

I would say that it was at least as clear in the highs and not too bad in the lows. If comparing to a single K8.2 then I'd say that the EV30M wins with better (lower) bass due to the sub and then also wider sound dispersion and of course the built-in mixer. Against a pair of K8's or even more so, K10's, with a mixer then the QSC's might win in sheer power but you're also looking at lugging a lot more equipment. I think an EV50M would give a pair of QSC's a heck of a run with much less gear to haul. Depending on the size of the venues and types of music you play in your duo, the 30M might be enough and then would come in way under a dual QSC plus mixer in price. |

Sorry for the old bump. But I just picked up a 30M. Holy smokes does this thing sound good. Only played through it for a few min today so really looking forward to next week’s gig.
So far I’d have to say better than the QSCs which I define it did not expect. Probably going to go get a 50M when they get back in stock too. I don’t want to hate on Bose or anyone that digs Bose, but they really shouldn’t sell another unit now that these EVs are out. Just so good. |

Even though I have a Stagepas 1k, I'm seriously thinking about getting one because of the extra channel or two.
