Product Information
Full details
The Audient EVO 8 is an ideal centerpiece for musicians, podcasters, streamers, and small production teams who need reliable, multi-channel recording without the steep learning curve of traditional interfaces. It provides a significant workflow boost with its automated Smartgain technology and flexible routing, though users with very power-hungry vintage ribbon microphones may find the preamp gain slightly limiting for extremely quiet sound sources.

FAQs
Can I use the EVO 8 on a Mac and PC?
Yes, the EVO 8 is fully compatible with both Windows and macOS systems via its USB-C connection.
Does it require external power?
No, it is bus-powered via the USB-C connection, though a powered USB hub may be required for specific low-power host devices.
What is the Loopback function used for?
Loopback allows you to record or stream audio coming from your computer, such as music, web browsers, or Discord calls.
Can I record four microphones at once?
Yes, the EVO 8 features four dedicated inputs that can all be recorded simultaneously to separate tracks in your DAW.
How do I control the volume of the headphone jacks?
You can select the headphone output using the function buttons on the top panel and then adjust the level using the main rotary knob.
Troubleshooting
Device is not recognized by the computer
Try a different USB-C port on your computer and ensure you are using the high-quality cable included with the unit.
Phantom power (48V) not working on all mics
Ensure the interface is plugged into a USB-C port that provides sufficient power, or use a powered external hub.
Audio crackling or pops
Increase the buffer size in your DAW or the EVO software settings to reduce the load on your CPU.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Four-input configuration supports complex setups like dual-guest interviews
- Loopback functionality is optimized for streamers and content creators

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your EVO 8, connect it to your computer using the provided USB-C cable. While the interface is class-compliant, installing the dedicated EVO software control panel is highly recommended to unlock advanced settings like buffer size adjustments and loopback configurations.
Compatibility: The EVO 8 is fully compatible with Windows 10/11, macOS, and iOS devices. If using with an iPad, ensure you use a powered USB hub if you intend to use all four channels with 48V phantom power simultaneously.
Care: Clean the interface housing with a dry, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or abrasive materials. To ensure longevity, always unplug the USB cable when the interface is not in use for extended periods, and store it in a dust-free environment.
