Audient Evo SP8 Smart Preamp

The Audient EVO SP8 is an 8-channel smart preamp/AD/DA converter unit designed to expand or upgrade your studio’s input/output capacity. It’s ideally suited for home studios, project studios, live-recording rigs, or any setup that needs multiple clean, high-quality preamps and digital conversion — without needing a full new audio interface. The unit offers highly accurate, low-noise mic and line preamps, flexible connectivity, and strong digital conversion performance, all in a relatively compact and rack-friendly package.

 Key Features

• • 8 EVO mic/line preamps — provides up to eight clean, high-quality mic or line inputs, expanding your studio’s capacity for multi-mic sessions such as drums, full bands, or live ensembles.

  • 2 Hi-Z / instrument inputs — for direct guitar, bass, or keyboard connection (great for tracking instruments directly).

  • 8 balanced line outputs + dual ADAT I/O — lets you route signals flexibly to monitors, mixers, headphones, or other gear; and integrate seamlessly with other ADAT-equipped devices for more I/O scalability.

  • High-resolution 32-bit / 96 kHz AD/DA converters — ensures detailed, transparent audio conversion with wide dynamic range and low noise, making mixes and recordings sound clean and accurate.

  • “Smartgain” automatic gain control for all channels — automatically analyzes and sets optimal gain levels for all inputs at once, saving time during setup — especially helpful for quick multi-mic sessions.

  • Modern control interface (Motion UI + LCD screen) — lets you monitor input levels, adjust settings, match stereo pairs, toggle phantom power, and more — all via an intuitive interface.

  • Phantom power & balanced signal path — supports condenser mics and ensures low-noise, high headroom signals.

• Compact and studio-ready design — small enough to sit on a desk or rack-mount, with rubber feet (or optional rack ears) for stability; ideal for both mobile rigs and permanent studio setups.
