These digitally controlled analog preamps provide ultra-precise control, allowing you to fine-tune your gain with extreme precision. Comparing levels between stereo paired microphones has never been easier! The Evo SP8 also boasts top-notch AD/DA conversion with a remarkable 121dB of dynamic range. In short, this audio interface sounds incredible!
Smartgain takes the guesswork out of setting levels
Audient's favorite feature of the Evo SP8 here at AudioProCT is Smartgain. This amazing technology automatically adjusts the gain for all eight channels of the interface - simultaneously - with the push of a button. Smartgain uses advanced peak analysis to automatically analyze your input signals and adjust each channel's preamp gain to its optimal level. This feature not only prevents clipping, but it also saves a huge amount of time when recording drums or setting up large sessions. Plus, it makes recording much easier, as you won't have to constantly adjust the preamp gain. You can just set up and start playing!
Easy-to-use control system
Motion UI Navigating the 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 that features IPS technology for clear viewing from any angle. A channel status indicator shows channel name, levels, and functions activated at the touch of a button. Crystal-clear, full-color metering makes it easy to keep track of your levels. What’s more, the Evo SP8’s 1-knob control ensures simple, hassle-free operation.
