Podcasters, musicians, producers, and content creators can benefit from the Audient EVO 8, a 4x4 USB audio interface that makes capturing high-quality audio effortless. It features four warm EVO mic preamps, a Hi-Z input for instruments, and Smartgain automatic gain control. Plus, its four 1/4" line outputs and two headphone outs are perfect for hooking up multiple sets of speakers and headphones.
The EVO 8's large knob provides convenient control of levels for your monitors, headphones, and channels while the multifunction buttons enable easy muting of the inputs and headphone outs. The audio loopback function makes it possible to record computer audio at the same time as the inputs—a welcome feature for podcasters who need to capture remote guests via Skype or other VoIP apps.
Software and plug-ins are included to get you started. Because the unit is bus-powered, you can power it straight from your computer; you never need to worry about accidentally forgetting or unplugging a power supply.

Mac, Windows, and iOS Compatibilty
In addition to being compatible with Mac and Windows computers, the EVO 8 audio interface can be used with your iPad or iPhone. To use EVO 8 with an iPad Pro that has a USB Type-C port, simply connect it using the supplied USB Type-C cable. The USB Type-C port on the iPad Pro will provide full USB bus power, so you do not need an external power source.
In order to connect the EVO 8 to a iOS device equipped with a Lightning port, you will need an Apple Camera Connection Kit and an active USB hub (both available separately). The active USB hub is required as the Lightning port cannot provide enough bus power for the EVO 8 to work correctly and the hub will provide the correct power via the USB cable.
