NAMM 2020: New Audient Interface Range

US EVO launches with the 2in / 2out EVO 4 audio interface 14/01/20

Audient believes that a new benchmark in audio interfaces has arrived with EVO which they say delivers a new level of user experience with one focus: to make recording easy. The 2in / 2out audio interface EVO 4 launches at NAMM. EVO 8 will be available soon after. Here’s the Audient press release with the details…

With the rise in podcasting, streaming and gaming, alongside the continuing rapid expansion of home recording, the EVO concept is designed to address the affordable audio interface market with a new range that offers an intuitive user experience, with application-specific features and stunning aesthetics - all whilst retaining the professional sound and technical quality expected from Audient.

Marketing director, Andy Allen explains Audient’s thinking: “We believe technology shouldn’t get in the way of the creative process; it should enhance it and be accessible to all, no matter what their skill-level or art-form and EVO is here to help make great-sounding recordings as easy and effortless as possible.

“One of EVO’s most unique features is Smartgain which automatically sets the gain levels when the user starts playing or singing,” continues Andy. “This is perfect for anyone who wants to focus on being creative, or perhaps is just starting out,” he says. “Of course pros can still dial in the gain manually, if they choose - as well as benefiting from other features they’d expect from a professional audio interface.”

The EVO range provides high performance, all new EVO mic preamps with 58dB gain range, class-leading converters with a 113dB dynamic range alongside a JFET D.I, Smartgain, Smart Touchpoints, speaker/headphone outputs, ultra-low latency, monitor mix and loopback functionality - an impressive feature set for its price point.
