Smartgain Mode – making recording easier than ever
One of the most unique and groundbreaking features of the interface is "Smartgain Mode". Once you start playing or singing with Smartgain Mode, the interface will automatically adjust the levels of your microphones, so you can avoid clipping and distortion. It will even match and adjust gain to both channels at the same time for added versatility. This makes the recording process easier than ever before, eliminating the need to adjust levels manually. This is perfect for beginners and professionals alike, streamlining your workflow.
Detailed, warm sound with EVO mic preamps
Audio interfaces have EVOlved. The EVO audio interface employs its own custom microphone preamps. The EVO preamps are specially-designed for this interface, providing pristine sound with incredible warmth and accuracy. It provides you with 58dB of gain range, allowing you to record everything from loud vocals to softer-sounding instruments. The class-leading converters deliver a dynamic range of 113dB, with ultra-low latency performance.
The EVO 16 also features dual headphone outputs and dual speaker outputs. The dual headphone outputs mean two artists can monitor their levels at once. The dual speaker outputs are perfect for checking your mixes on different speakers, without having to replace the cables. The future-proof design also includes a range of digital connections, providing support for both ADAT and SPDIF, allowing you to expand your mic preamps down the line.
Motion UI – the powerful new control system
Building on the success of its siblings; the EVO 16 introduces the newly developed ‘Motion’ UI system. The intuitive user interface has been specifically designed to optimise the way you interact with your interface. At the heart of the Motion UI is a 240x240 TFT backlit LCD screen with provides a crisp, high-resolution display. Utilising cutting-edge IPS technology, the EVO 16’s information remains legible on the screen no matter where you view the screen from.
The high-res display provides information on Channel Status as well as providing full-colour metering for all your inputs and outputs. Providing instant visual feedback allows you to monitor your levels at a glance and helps to keep your workflow in motion. Controlling the interface is made simple thanks to the simple ‘one-knob’ design. The single-knob control allows you to cycle through hardware features from a single point for ease of use.
If that wasn’t enough, you can customise your advanced monitoring controls by using the assignable ‘F’ (function) button. You can assign the function button to any of the interfaces monitoring controls and program it to suit your needs. The fully immersive UI and sleek design make it one of the most streamlined interfaces on the market.
JFET instrument inputs and 48V Phantom Power
Record instruments and vocals with ease. With the onboard JFET instrument inputs, you can plug your guitar or bass directly into the interface. The interface also incorporates +48v Phantom Power so you can use studio-grade condenser microphones. The integrated Phantom Power is also switchable, allowing you to individually turn it on/off for each of the channels.
The professional choice for musicians and content creators
The onboard Monitor Mix button allows you to make recordings effortlessly. The ultra-low latency technology means you can monitor your audio sources with extreme accuracy, allowing you to make informed decisions about your recording options. It also features a Loopback function, which allows you to record your computer audio at the same time as your microphones. This can be highly useful for podcasting and live-streaming.
Complete with music software bundle
The compact and portable design make the EVO perfect for musicians on the move. Whether you’re recording vocals for your latest song or podcasting with friends on the go, the EVO is the perfect choice. The EVO interface comes complete with a professional software bundle including premium-grade plugins to get you started straight out of the box. It even features Cubase LE - a streamlined version of the award-winning digital audio workstation providing everything you need to make and record music.
