Audient EVO 4 USB Audio Interface sound card for music production (2 in / 2 out USB audio-interface, 48 Volt phantom power, 2 microphone preamps, etc.), Black

✅ What an amazing piece of kit. I bought the EVO 8 for the convenience of not always having or wanting to turn on my main mixing desk and make a big thing out of it when all I want to do it get cracking with a project, and this allows me that. I literally plug it into my MacBook Air and away we go. Smartgain is a sensational feature that I wish I had decades ago. I like to record myself playing the guitar and singing simultaneously, and the big green button cuts out any guesswork when all I want to do is just start. It listens to me play and sing for 15 seconds and then it sets the levels on all of the mics separately, so all I then have to do is click the record button, amazing, but I can change them manually if I want to, but so far I've no need because the recordings have been perfect. The software is also extremely helpful. There's not much to it, which is great! ...which then automatically routes into my DAW. You will have to assign the four inputs to the accompanying tracks, but that takes 20 seconds. Done. However, there was one issue that occurred which was instantly fixed. After unplugging the device for the very first time, the playback in my DAW was slow whereupon I was given an error message: "Error while trying to synchronise Audio and MIDI. Sample Rate 16,114 recognised. Check conflict between (your DAW name) and external device". All I did to fix the issue was plug the EVO 8 device back into the USB-C port, play the song which was normal again, and then unplug it. Done. I've not had a problem since. I don't know why this happened - it could have been me or it could have been the manufacturer (Audient), but it was a 20 second fix and it's nothing to worry about. It may not even happen to you, but it was worth my mentioning just in case. Listen, I could go on about this product for ages, but just take it from someone who has a recording studio with many toys and says that the EVO 8 is a mini-workhorse which simplifies the recording process. It has been the best £139 I have spent on recording gear. Buy it.

I've had quite a few interfaces over the years but needed something quick for a new project, which was reasonably priced and had 2 inputs. I'm normally disappointed with anything audio related where I've gone for the more budget option, but with the Evo 4 I was pleasantly surprised. It was easy to set up and I like the way the unit operates. I like the central wheel who's operation is set by the button which precedes it, it is intuitive to use. Sound wise it is very good. It's hard to rate mic pre amps, but you notice when they are not great. I had digital multitrackers where they were sub par and also interfaces, but the Evo 4 seems to have plenty of clean gain and works with a variety of mics (I have mainly used an SM57 and LDC so far). Also, unlike other interfaces I've had, there are no earth loops, buzzes or interference, just a clean sound. I've recorded vocals and loud harmonica and guitars, certainly high volume is not a problem with a mic which can handle the SPL's. So although it's probably aimed mainly at content creators etc, it has no issue in the studio. Based on the price I can't give anything but 5 starts so far. It is of lightweight construction, I would prefer it if it was metal, but I've no reason it won't hold up. The headphone amp is more suited to lower impedance phones if you are dealing with loud sources and want headroom in the cans. I tried it with DT770 80 ohms and it was okay, but changed to 32ohm cans to give me a bit more headroom. That said 80 ohm would be fine for solo acoustic or content creation. Just something to be mindful of. All in all a great value little unit, I wanted to get the ID14 but budget meant I went for the Evo and I have no regrets.

Bought this to replace my longstanding digital interface that annoyingly is no longer supported by the Apple operating system. I wanted the ability to use it in my home studio and also with an iPad. I found it quite a good interface but with some limitations. I have tested it with a number of different microphones including an Electrovoice RE20 and RE50, an Audio Technica ATM 31a, and even a Coles lip mic. What I found is that the preamps are very clean and quite good. The downside is that the 'Smart Gain' function will not work with every microphone so you will have to set it manually (not a great problem). A final thought that might help. If you are using something like an Electrovoice RE20, or a Shure SM7B which don't run on phantom power, you may find it very quiet using the EVO 4. You can boost the levels in post, but that can be a problem if for example, you are podcasting live. Therefore you may need to add something like a Cloudlifter or similar to boost the levels. Incidentally, you don't need to use a Cloudlifter. They are good but overly pricey. There are many other perfectly good cheap alternatives. I am currently using a Klark Teknik Mic Booster CT1, which is much cheaper but equally good. Hope that helps...

This is just wonderful - a great investment. Got a shotgun NTG2 mic, needs phantom power and tried both a direct XLR to usb cable which worked ok but not great, then a cheap audio interface which was so bad it was returned immediately. This wee box is fantastic. Connected it to the Mac Studio, followed instructions, watched the setup video and was away. The sound is so much better, richer. The control interface is very intuitive after a little use, phantom power perfect and the smart gain function just lovely. One thing to be aware of - the exact headphones you use seem to make quite a difference to what you hear coming out of the box - impedance most likely.

Als aufstrebender Musikproduzent war ich auf der Suche nach einem zuverlässigen und hochwertigen Audio-Interface, das meinen Anforderungen gerecht wird. Das Audient EVO4 hat sich als genau das herausgestellt. **Klangqualität und Mikrofon-Vorverstärker:** Die Klangqualität des EVO4 ist beeindruckend. Die zwei Mikrofon-Vorverstärker liefern einen klaren und transparenten Klang, der meinen Aufnahmen eine bemerkenswerte Klarheit verleiht. Die 48 Volt Phantomspeisung ermöglicht den Einsatz von Kondensatormikrofonen, was meine Aufnahmemöglichkeiten erheblich erweitert hat. Die Mikrofonvorverstärker sind leise und liefern einen ausreichenden Gain-Bereich für eine Vielzahl von Mikrofontypen. **Bedienbarkeit und Software:** Die Bedienung des EVO4 ist äußerst benutzerfreundlich. Die großen, griffigen Drehregler ermöglichen eine präzise Einstellung der Gain-Stufen und des Monitorings. Die EVO Control-Software ist intuitiv und einfach zu bedienen. Sie bietet umfangreiche Möglichkeiten zur Anpassung der Eingangs- und Ausgangspegel sowie zur Auswahl von Monitoring-Optionen. Die Loopback-Funktion ist besonders nützlich für Aufnahmen von Podcasts oder Livestreams. **Verarbeitungsqualität und Design:** Das EVO4 überzeugt auch in Bezug auf die Verarbeitungsqualität. Das robuste Gehäuse vermittelt ein Gefühl von Langlebigkeit, und die Eingangs-/Ausgangsbuchsen sind solide und gut platziert. Das kompakte Design macht es einfach, das Interface in meinem Setup zu integrieren, ohne zu viel Platz einzunehmen. **Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis:** Das Audient EVO4 bietet eine erstaunliche Leistung zu einem äußerst erschwinglichen Preis. Die gebotene Klangqualität und die Funktionen sind im Vergleich zu anderen Interfaces in dieser Preisklasse unschlagbar. Es ist ideal für angehende Musikproduzenten, die auf der Suche nach einem qualitativ hochwertigen Einstiegs-Interface sind, ohne dabei ihr Budget zu sprengen. **Fazit:** Insgesamt bin ich äußerst zufrieden mit dem Audient EVO4 USB Audio Interface. Es bietet eine herausragende Klangqualität, benutzerfreundliche Bedienung und ein solides Design, alles zu einem erstaunlich erschwinglichen Preis. Obwohl es sich um ein Einstiegs-Interface handelt, erfüllt es die Anforderungen meiner Musikproduktion voll und ganz. Ich kann das EVO4 jedem angehenden Musikproduzenten wärmstens empfehlen, der nach einem zuverlässigen und hochwertigen Audio-Interface sucht.

Habría comprado el modelo EVO 4, pero con esta tremenda oferta de Amazon no me he podido resistir a comprar el EVO 8, y lo único que me lo impedía era ver que no había un pronunciamiento claro acerca de la compatibilidad con Apple Silicon M1 y Big Sur, pero ya lo hay, es oficial y positivo. He leído infinidad de comentarios, ya cansa incluso, de que es de plástico, que pesa poco, bla, bla, bla, y sinceramente, así da gusto comprar, porque una vez que lo tengo en mis manos veo que es tremendamente sólido y con una calidad excelente, tiene un peso considerable y no se nota excesivamente ligero, se nota que está repleto de cosas buenas, y además, al menos el modelo EVO 8, tiene un peso suficiente para soportar algunos conectores XLR de metal y seguir plano, pero no es mayor problema si se inclina un poco, porque es cierto los conectores quedan a mayor altura que en otras interfaces y puede provocar que se incline. Lo pones en la mesa con plastilina o masilla pegajosa de quita y pon y problema resuelto (si es que tienes problema alguno). Sinceramente, se vé muy sólido, y el plástico de la carcasa me ha ENCANTADO, TREMENDO, GENIAL, se ve un plástico muy sólido y mate antihuellas de muy alta calidad. La principal diferencia que me hacía dudar entre el EVO 4 y el EVO 8 era la posibilidad de tener un botón dedicado para la mezcla y panning de la monitorización directa, pero es que no tengo intención de usarla, y además se puede activar igualmente a través del mezclador instalado con sus drivers. A DESTACAR: - la función loopback incorporada incluso en el modelo pequeño (EVO 4) y el número de entradas y salidas a éste precio, con ésta calidad de sonido y drivers, es sobresalliente, al igual que la calidad de los materiales - la descarga de software incluído como Cubasis LE para iPad creo que sólo está disponible para el modelo EVO 4 pero no para el 8, pero bueno, pudiendo usar Garageband, no veo necesidad - funciona perfectamente con Mac M1 y Big Sur con compatibilidad oficial recientemente pero poco difundida en su web oficial y contradictoria en algunos posts más antiguos, pero compatibilidad asegurada oficialmente desde hace unos 15 días en la web oficial aunque la página de producto no esté actualizada (los Audient iD4 y superiores ya eran compatibles) - es Class Compliant, por lo que en teoría no necesitaría ni drivers, al menos en Mac y iPad, no obstante el modelo EVO 4 tiene compatibilidad plena asegurada con iPad mientras que el EVO 8 no queda muy claro, y yo creo que más que nada se debe a la ausencia del botón dedicado para monitorización directa que no voy a usar y a otras funciones adicionales para escuchar mezclas de audio distintas en cada una de las dos tomas de auriculares - la función de Loopback creo que no es posible en iPad pero para ninguna tarjeta de sonido por lo que creo haber leído Espero que mi comentario sirva de ayuda.

取り扱いが、とても楽で持ち運びを含めてよいポイントです。 プライスと昨日のバランスが、とてもいいように思います。 素直な音も評価します。

Yurt dışından buna benzer olan aleti çok kötü olan bir mikrofon almıştım. Genellikle shure mikrofonlarla kullanıldığını gördüğüm için biraz kuşkulandım ama benim mikrofonla sorunuz çalıştı. Ses kayıt etmek isteyen ya da içerik üretmek isteyenlere ÖNERİRİM.

ID4 is now award winning; this one is as good; plug and play and works very intuitive; automatic gain function is awsome; many compliments for the makers!!!
