Eight stunning Evo microphone preamps

Evo SP8's eight Evo mic preamps reflect Audient's 25 years of engineering innovation. These excellent-sounding pres yield a respectable 58dB of gain for your microphones, along with impressive EIN specs for low-noise, low-distortion results. These digitally controlled analog preamps provide ultra-precise control, enabling you to set your gain with pinpoint accuracy. Matching the levels of stereo-paired mics has never been easier! Evo SP8 also boasts top-notch AD/DA conversion with a remarkable 121dB of dynamic range. In short, this audio interface sounds amazing!

Smartgain takes the guesswork out of setting levels

Our favorite feature of Audient's Evo SP8 here at Sweetwater is Smartgain. This incredible technology automatically sets the gain for all eight of the interface's channels — simultaneously — at the touch of a button. Smartgain employs advanced peak analysis to automatically analyze your input signals and adjust each channel's preamp gain to its optimal level. This feature not only safeguards against clipping, but it's also a huge time saver when you're recording drums or setting up large sessions. On top of that, it makes recording yourself much easier, since you won't need to continuously adjust your preamp gain. You can just set up and start playing!

Easy-to-use Motion UI control system

Navigating Evo SP8 is a walk in the park, thanks to its intuitive Motion UI control system. The interface is centered around a high-resolution TFT-LCD screen, which includes IPS technology for clear viewing at any angle. A channel status indicator displays the channel's name, levels, and functions activated with a push of a button. Crystal-clear, full-color metering makes keeping an eye on your levels a breeze. What's more, Evo SP8's 1-knob control ensures simple, trouble-free operation.
