Product Information

When all you want is to record your band’s latest jam, lay down a beat or capture the chord sequence you just dreamed up before you forget it, the last thing you need is to get bogged down with preamps and gain levels. It was with this in mind that, in 2020, British pro-audio manufacturer Audient launched their easy-to-use EVO range.

Smartest Audio Interface? EVO 4 - Audient Worlds Smartest Audio Interface? EVO 4 - Audient

Needed more inputs (stereo for acoustic guitar and another input for vocal mic) and this did the job perfectly. This is the ideal solution for this scenario as ADAT is a bit glitchy in my experienceWith 25 years of experience behind them, Audient's mic preamps have been designed to deliver the most accurate, clean and true to source version of your audio no matter what you're recording. The EVO Preamp technology has the advantages of an analogue mic preamp combined with digitally controlled precision which gives you the ability to set your gain with pin-point accuracy! Can't fault it for the price, useful features not found on other audio interfaces, works well with the Mac and Eco software.

Input recording is also exemplary, helped a little with a Smart Gain feature that helps you set levels, although to be fair you don’t really need it as such (see below for more on this).Bigger sessions demand more channels and expanding your existing audio interface via ADAT might be the most cost-effective solution to scale up your studio,” says Audient/EVO marketing director, Andy Allen. “SP8 does exactly that, giving you eight studio quality analogue preamps, a modern and intuitive user experience with exceptional audio performance across the board.” The main reason to pause is that sometimes you’ll often find the Audient ID4 selling for only slightly more online. While I have few major complaints about the Eve 4’s raw sound quality, that step-up model has more highly regarded pre-amps. The more I dug into what the Audient Evo 4 can do, the wider its appeal became. At this price solid performance with two inputs is enough, but there are extras for streamers and podcasters too. Performance The audio quality of the Evo 4 is very good. Yes, it’s true that most audio interfaces sound good these days but to my ears Evo has that Audient quality sound that I know and love"
