EVO 4 USB Audio Interface

Audient has packed the EVO 4 with quite a lot of functionality for such a small box. It has far more use cases than I will probably ever scratch the surface of... but that's okay because it didn't cost me an arm and a leg to get all the extras. The cheapest XLR to USB interface you can really find that's worth getting is probably the Blue Icicle which is half the price of the EVO 4 - but all it does is convert and amplify the analog signal to digital. With the EVO 4 you get that plus a second XLR input channel, a JFET instrument input, and 1/4in TRS stereo out for speaker/headphone monitoring. Additionally, you can mute the channels by long pressing the numbered buttons. The smart gain feature is a great innovation for getting levels set up quick during your sound check without having to worry about the possibility of clipping. I occasionally will pick up one of my two guitars, so it is nice to now have a device that makes it very simple to record if I ever find myself improvising something that I'd like to remember how to play later. My primary use is just as the interface for my XLR microphone for communication purposes while online gaming and it comes crystal clear through the preamps on this device with low to no background noise being picked up. I don't have any kind of sound treatment in the room I use it in and the sound from my PC tower fans are not even noticeable recording at 75% to 80% gain. The same set of LEDs around the digital knob in the center relay various information such as volume control, monitoring L/R balance, and when your input device is in use - the levels it is reaching for the channel you selected. If it lights up the right most LED then you are probably getting clipping and have the gain set too high. Audient provides access to the compact DAWs Cubase (PC/Mac) and Cubasis (iOS) LE 2 and some VST synthesizers if you register your product on their site, which is a nice set of freebies for some aspiring songwriters or producers to add to their arsenal. The only complaint I know people have is that you can't use speakers and headphones for monitoring at the same time, because plugging in headphones will automatically mute the speaker output channels, but this doesn't really affect me personally for how I'm going to be using it. You get 2 recording channels but it's worth noting that the EVO 4 creates an input selection that mixes those together as 1 channel for you if you'd like, plus provides both mono and stereo loopback channels for recording your PC's audio output. The 1/4 TRS JFET input routes only to channel 1, and it takes priority over XLR port 1 and thus automatically mutes that signal when in use. Overall, I don't think you can go wrong with this unit if you just need to record a couple of mics for a podcast, or vocals and an instrument for your original music or a cover song. It may be overkill if you want to use it for something like teleconferencing for work because let's face it, most people aren't going to notice how much better your microphone sounds than everyone elses'. But hey, someone might and they can be your second new best friend, after the EVO 4.

I purchased the EVO 4 for truly silent guitar practice. Setting it up could not have been easier. I plugged into my Macbook opened up an amp sim and started playing. It was that easy. The auto gain feature seemed to work well. It took a minute or so to complete the process and sounds great with the sims I've tried it with. I can practice in silence when needed. The EVO is small enough that I'll probably bring it on my next trip so I can some playtime in.

As someone without extensive experience with audio equipment, I found the Evo 4 to be surprisingly user-friendly. The setup process was straightforward, and I was able to get everything running without much hassle. I use it with my Shure SM7B, and while the built-in gain control is helpful, you’ll still need a Cloudlifter or similar inline preamp to get the best results. The interface is intuitive, and the build quality feels solid for the price. Overall solid the Evo 4 is a pretty solid choice for the price point

I am typically a Focusrite customer since that is what I always purchased for the last 7 years or so. I did not need a new interface, but I wanted to give another brand a try. I watched a few videos on youtube and this one reviewer actually ran tests on the device and provided results on response curves and for the money, this thing showed a very flat response. It get's 4 stars for the cheap plastic housing (no screws, just squeeze and open) I have had this thing for a few days and I observe the following pros: * great value - SOUNDS INCREDIBLE * compact and all black look matches my desk perfectly * dual XLR inputs with stereo linked gains * balanced TRS outs * auto gain (thought this would be gimmicky but I love it) * digital controls can be controlled through PC * software seems to work great in win10 These are the following cons: * plastic housing (has internal plating for EMI/EFI protection) but feels a tad bit cheaper then it actually is * Sometimes needs full PC reboot when loses connectivity (explained below) The issue with windows and the unit disconnecting has nothing to do with normal operation but when coming back to operate after the PC or even the displays have gone into hibernation. This is more likely a windows issue and I think I solved it by un-checking the box allows others to take control of the device and by disabling all other sound devices like HDMI devices. You can also disable all sleeping and display auto-off options to avoid the issue, or shut down the system normally after done using it but before the displays sleep. My focusrite and my Berrihnger have the audio swap problem on display sleep, but those can recover after redirecting sound back to the device. I would think the would be way for Audient to add this function to their driver as well for sleep/hibernation survivability. UPDATE: After working with the Evo 4 support, it appears as though my windows 10 "power profile" was allowing for the USB port to be "suspended" and after changing profiles, as well as going into device manager and unchecking the box to allow windows to reduce power of the Evo 4, and no more disconnects.

Oldukça kaliteli ve benim işime yarayacak şekilde küçük ama etkili bir cihaz. Fiyatı da piyasada satılabdan daha ucuz. Müzik marketlerde yok deli gibi oyaladılar burda buldum en sonunda

A 1 cheez ha bhai log 👍👍👍

Interface muito boa, som de muita qualidade.

Small form, quite convenient to use, only negatives would be the overall feel of construction feels somewhat cheap, unit feels top heavy and top portion feels loose. The feet on the bottom do not maintain desired grip to my wood desk. that being said it does exactly what I wanted for a good price.
