Control it from software or use realtime visual feedback on the screen to perfectly match the level of stereo pairs.
In the studio, sound is everything and Evo SP8's high-performance 32-bit AD/DA converters make sure you hear your audio accurately at all times, whether you're recording music or sending audio to your favorite outboard gear and back when mixing. Better converters mean better audio, helping you make creative decisions confidently, identify issues and improve your overall recording and mixing game.
Make recording drums and larger sessions easy with Smartgain. Automatically set the gain for all eight channels at once with a simple touch of a button. Powered by Audient's lightning-quick algorithm, Smartgain uses advanced peak analysis to automatically analyze, adjust and set your gain to the perfect levels – all in less than 20 seconds! Now it's up to you to figure out what to do with all that time you're saving. Smartgain works on up to eight mics at once to help you avoid clipping.

Become more efficient in the studio. Unleash Smartgain's capabilities by pairing two Evo SP8s with an Evo 16 audio interface (sold separately) and get 24 channels of Smartgain-enabled mic preamps. Yes, with an Evo expanded system that's 24 channels at once, light years ahead of the competition.
Navigate SP8's hardware features with blazing speed, courtesy of the Motion user interface. For the first time, a stunning high-resolution, full-color screen intelligently displays information as you need it, transforming Evo SP8 into a fully immersive, easy-to-use 'smart preamp,' the first of its kind.
Every adjustment, every detail, every button press is beautifully displayed in real time on a 240×240 TFT-backlit LCD screen, letting you navigate hardware features effortlessly, make changes on the fly and take full control of your recording session without ever looking at your computer. Plus, IPS technology means information on the screen remains legible no matter your viewing angle, ideal for a variety of setups.
Pressing an input or output button momentarily displays the channel name, the levels and the functions activated for that specific channel – all the information you ever need in one place.
Keep an eye on your levels by quickly cycling through your inputs and outputs with Evo SP8's crystal-clear, full-color metering.
Designed to keep your session in motion, one-knob control lets you glide through Evo SP8's hardware features from a single centralized point. Unlimited power, simple control.
To build a monster guitar sound you need the right foundation. Audient's harmonically-rich JFET instrument input circuit is designed to replicate the input stage of a classic valve amplifier, providing an ideal sonic foundation before you hit your guitar sims.
Evo SP8 has been meticulously designed to look amazing both on your desktop and in your rack. Super-bright backlit LED lighting not only looks stunning but ensures visibility in the darkest of studios, while a solid steel chassis makes sure Evo SP8 is up to the challenges of daily use in the studio and on the road.
Designed to slot straight into your studio, Evo SP8 defies the norm with its deceptively small form factor.
