It combines a quarter of a century of experience in audio design with innovative new technology to enable users to produce smarter and faster. The EVO 8 Audio Interface has all the innovative new features of the popular EVO 4, but offers more inputs and outputs and a software-controlled flexible monitor mixer. 4 EVO microphone preamps, 2 pairs of speaker outputs and two separately adjustable headphone jacks provide seamless connectivity in the project studio, rehearsal room or on stage. The new EVO software mixer allows easy monitoring and convenient routing of all signals. As a novelty, the external sound card features a Smartgain mode that automatically adjusts the level of the microphones. So you can concentrate on your creativity while avoiding annoying clipping and distortion. The loopback function makes it possible to record the computer output simultaneously with the microphones. The ideal audio interface for podcasters and streamers. The clean, warm and precise EVO preamps have a gain range of 58 dB and get the best out of every microphone. Thanks to its high-quality AD/DA converters, recordings with a dynamic range of 113 dB can reach any DAW in great detail. Monitor mixes via headphones or connected active studio monitors can also be realized effortlessly due to the extremely low latency. The intelligent multi-functional knob for level adjustment of the recording and playback channels is an enormous workflow facilitator. A JFET instrument input is available for direct guitar or bass recording. The 4 XLR combo jacks of the external sound card have a stable 48 Volt phantom power and offer connection for microphones and line level sources. EVO 8 is compatible with all major audio software and plug-ins and comes with a collection of professional software that provides everything you need to get started in home recording.EXPECTED TO BE AVAILABLE BY THE END OF AUGUST 2020.| SCOPE OF DELIVERY: - EVO 8 audio interface - Supplied USB cable (1.5 m) - Includes comprehensive Audient ARC download software package| FEATURES: - 4 in / 4 out USB audio interface - EVO Software Monitor Mixer - Smartgain - smart touchpoints - loopback function - High Speed USB 2.0 - 24 bit 44.1 - 96 kHz - 113 dB Dynamic range AD/DA - 4 high-quality microphone preamps with 58 dB gain - 4 combined mic/line inputs via XLR/jack combo jacks - 2 independent headphone outputs 6.3 mm jack (separately adjustable) - 4 line outputs 6,3 mm - Discrete JFET Instrument Input - Multifunctional large rotary control with LED ring - Stylish desktop housing - DSP-based "low latency" software mixer with flexible routing matrix - 48 Volt phantom power (also for bus operation) - 2 channels P48V with USB-A operation - 4 channels P48V with USB-C operation - Connection and power supply via USB-C| DETAILS: - ClassCompliant MAC, Windows (7/8/10), iOS - Dimensions: 18 x 9 x 8 cm - Weight: 600 g - Colour: Black Review: Serve my need at an amazing price - So I waited this long to write a review as I wanted to make sure that this thing would serve me well. Aside from interference problems, which can be avoided by having a metal plate between the device and the magnetic field source, everything works perfectly. I can get amazingly high-quality and clean audio out of it even with the maximum gains. With the discounted price I bought it for, I highly recommend it. Oh, another plus is that I was able to use it on Android with n-Track Studio. Just know that you need to set up the gain levels for all inputs every time you turn it on. On a PC, the software can be used to load up these settings once you save them in a profile. Review: Wonderful - It’s a good interface. Two headphone jacks really come handy as well which is nice. The auto gain feature is nice but also not really necessary as it is very easy to set the gain by yourself, so don’t let that be the reason you choose this interface. The unit is made of plastic which is quite normal for its price range. In terms of functionality and sound quality, it is one the best in the market for this price. ## Features - The EVO 8 Audio Interface features 4 XLR combo jacks, 4 EVO microphone preamps with 48V phantom power, 2 pairs of speaker outputs and 2 separately adjustable headphone jacks. - The interface comes with innovative features for your studio like the Smartgain mode for automatic level control or the new EVO software mixer for easy monitoring and convenient routing of all signals. - The processed audio interface has a stylish desktop housing with smart touchpoints, a discrete JFET instrument input and a multifunctional knob with LED ring! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08DVDJWDT | | Audio Input | XLR, 1/4" | | Brand Name | Audient | | Compatible Devices | Personal computer, tablet, MP3 player | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (459) | | Frequency Response | 96 KHz | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 7D x 19W x 7H centimeters | | Item Type Name | Audio Interface | | Item Weight | 475 Grams | | Manufacturer | Audient | | Manufacturer Part Number | EVO 8 | | Maximum Sample Rate | 96 KHz | | Model Number | EVO8 | | Number of Channels | 8 | | Operating System | iOS | | Supported Software | EVO software, Audient ARC software | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Audient - **Compatible devices:** Personal computer, tablet, MP3 player - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Number of channels:** 8 - **Supported software:** EVO software, Audient ARC software ## Images ![EVO 8 USB Audio Interface external sound card for music productions (4 in / 4 out, Smartgain, Smart Touchpoints, loopback function, 48V phantom power, 4 microphone preamps, Windows/Mac/iOS), Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5129e-niyZL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I use outboard gear with the EVO 8?** A: Absolutely, the EVO 8 provides dual stereo mixes, allowing you to allocate the first set of outputs for your speakers and the second set for external equipment. **Q: Can I use a Phantom Powered Microphone with EVO 8?** A: All four of the EVO 8’s preamp provides full phantom power, so you can use up to four condenser microphones at once with the EVO 8!
