And, for established artists, it is an ideal travel companion — super portable with uncompromising sound.

Professional performance at an entry-level price

Don’t let the price point fool you! The EVO 4 is packed with professional-level components and functionality that deliver high-quality performance and stunning audio. Class-leading converters, along with a 24-bit/96kHz sample rate and a 133dB dynamic, ensure that you’re capturing pristine, distortion-free sound. Built to Audient’s high-standards, the EVO 4’s mic pres are transparent and flattering, and the JFET instrument input adds just a touch of color for a rich and satisfying sound. The EVO 4 has stereo monitor outputs and a front-panel headphone jack, and it’s powered over its USB 2.0 connection — so no need for an additional power adapter. And, the large volume knob feels great and gives you precise control over your monitor mix and output levels.

Innovative Smartgain function automatically sets input levels

The EVO 4 features an innovative Smartgain function, which helps you set gain quickly and accurately so you can get to the business of creating without worrying about clipping and distortion. The way it works is simple. Just press the Smartgain button and select the channels you want to use to record. The Smartgain LED will flash red to indicate that it’s listening. Then, start playing, singing, or speaking into your microphone, and Smartgain will automatically and correctly set the input level. Smartgain is a total gamechanger for new engineers, podcasters, and solo recordists, that will speed up the recording process and give you great results every time!
