Audient EVO 16

The Audient EVO 16 is a desktop audio interface with eight microphone preamps for recording several sources in one session. Smartgain can analyse incoming signals and set input gain automatically, helping with initial level setting when recording alone or preparing a larger session. Each preamp offers a 58 dB gain range, while phantom power supports microphones that require it.

Two instrument inputs provide a connection for guitar or bass, and eight line outputs allow audio to be routed to monitors or external equipment. Two dedicated headphone amplifiers provide personal monitoring. The colour display and Motion UI controls bring channel settings and metering together on the unit, while the software mixer supports monitoring and routing from a compatible computer.

Optical digital inputs and outputs support ADAT or S/PDIF expansion. The advertised 24-input and 28-output capacity therefore includes digital channels and should not be read as twenty-four built-in microphone sockets. The physical preamp count remains eight. This interface is for computer-based recording, not a standalone recorder, and additional converters or preamps are required to use the expanded digital channel capacity.
