Audient EVO 8 Desktop 4×4 USB-C Audio Interface

The Audient EVO 8 desktop audio interface is built for creators who want speed, clarity, and intelligent control in a compact, bus-powered design. Expanding on the concept of the EVO 4, EVO 8 adds more inputs and outputs while delivering the same forward-thinking workflow and outstanding audio performance. With four EVO mic preamps, Smartgain automation, powerful software control, and high-performance converters, EVO 8 makes professional recording simple whether you are tracking music, streaming, or producing content.

Four EVO Mic Preamps with Smartgain

EVO 8 features four EVO mic preamps, each delivering up to 58 dB of gain with clean, accurate sound and low noise. Smartgain technology listens to your signal and automatically sets optimal input levels in seconds. You can apply Smartgain to individual channels or match gain across multiple inputs, making it ideal for stereo sources, multi-mic setups, and fast session turnarounds.

Accurate Monitoring with Class-Leading Conversion

High-performance AKM converters provide a wide 113 dB dynamic range, allowing you to hear recordings clearly and make confident mix decisions. This level of detail ensures that subtle dynamics, transients, and tonal balance are preserved from tracking through playback.

Smart Monitoring and Intuitive Control

EVO 8 introduces intelligent workflow features designed to keep sessions moving. Smartmuting automatically mutes your speakers when headphones are connected, enabling seamless transitions between monitoring methods. A single volume encoder controls speakers, headphones, and channel levels, while multi-function buttons allow quick muting and control of channels and outputs. Phantom power can be switched per channel, giving microphones exactly what they need without unnecessary setup steps.

Flexible Software Mixer and Audio Loop-back

The EVO software mixer provides ultra-low-latency monitoring, advanced routing, and easy creation of custom headphone mixes. Built-in audio loop-back makes EVO 8 ideal for streaming, podcasting, and content creation by allowing system audio and microphones to be captured simultaneously. Routing, monitoring, and gain staging are all managed through a clean, easy-to-use interface.

Bus-Powered Portability for Work Anywhere

EVO 8 is fully USB bus powered, eliminating the need for an external power supply. Its compact desktop design makes it easy to carry between sessions, while full compatibility with major DAWs and plugins ensures seamless integration into any workflow. EVO 8 also includes a bundle of professional software and plugins so you can start recording immediately.
