The Essentials to Know About the Audient EVO 16 Audio Interface
- 8 transparent microphone preamps with multichannel "Smartgain" to automatically set gain on 8 channels in seconds.
- 24-bit / 96 kHz conversion and ultra-low latency software mixer for precise and responsive monitoring.
- "Motion UI" ergonomics: high-resolution LCD screen, single central control knob, per-channel status display, and function button.
- 24 expandable I/O: 2 JFET inputs, 8 line outputs, 2 independent headphone outputs, 2 optical inputs and 2 optical outputs, plus Word clock output.
EVO 16, the Big Sister of the Range
Designed as the nerve center of modern studios, the EVO 16 builds on the "plug-and-play" philosophy of the smaller EVO models and takes it much further. Compared to the compact models, it adds more preamps, more I/O, Word clock output, and the new "Motion UI" system for fast and visual control of the most demanding sessions.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Ideal for producers, sound engineers, bands, and content creators who record multiple sources simultaneously. The "Smartgain" feature simplifies drum takes and multi-mic sessions, while the JFET inputs accommodate guitar or bass without additional boxes. The 2 independent headphone outputs and monitor control simplify musician monitoring and editing work.
Key Features to Speed Up Your Sessions
Multichannel "Smartgain"
With a single press, the interface analyzes your source and automatically sets perfect levels on 8 channels at once, in under 20 seconds. A huge time saver and prevents clipping, even during big takes.
"Motion UI" Ergonomics
The high-resolution LCD screen, large central encoder, and per-channel status display provide immediate visual feedback. The programmable function button adapts the interface to your workflow to keep essentials at hand.
Faithful Preamps and Conversion
Backed by 25 years of engineering, the EVO analog preamp delivers a clean and precise sound, with up to 58 dB of gain. The 24-bit / 96 kHz conversion preserves dynamics and transients, from vocals to drums.
Monitoring and Expansion
The ultra-low latency software mixer allows comfortable monitor mixes. The 2 optical I/O and 8 line outputs offer multiple expansion and reamping scenarios, while the Word clock output secures studio synchronization.
