The EVO 16 redefines what a desktop audio interface can achieve, packing eight award-winning EVO preamps and advanced converter technology into a compact powerhouse that makes professional recording accessible to everyone. Built on 25 years of engineering expertise, these analogue preamps deliver pristine, accurate sound reproduction whilst offering digitally controlled precision down to the decibel. The revolutionary Smartgain feature automatically sets optimal levels across all eight channels in under 20 seconds using advanced peak analysis, making complex drum recordings and large sessions effortless to manage.
At the heart of this interface lies the groundbreaking Motion UI system, featuring a stunning 240x240 TFT LCD screen that displays real-time information as you work. This intelligent interface lets you control every aspect of your recording session directly from the hardware, eliminating the need to constantly reference your computer screen. The high-performance converters provide an impressive 121dB of dynamic range, ensuring you hear every detail of your recordings with absolute clarity and confidence.
Connectivity options are comprehensive, with eight line outputs for multiple monitor setups or external processing, two powerful headphone amplifiers capable of driving 600-ohm loads, and JFET instrument inputs that replicate classic valve amplifier characteristics. Optical inputs and outputs support both ADAT and SPDIF protocols, allowing expansion up to 16 additional preamp channels for larger productions. Professional monitoring features include ALT speaker switching, mono checking, and dedicated talkback functionality that can utilise any computer-connected microphone.
Despite its extensive feature set, the EVO 16 maintains a compact desktop-friendly design at just over 14 inches wide, complete with non-slip rubber feet and optional rack ears. The solid steel chassis ensures durability, whilst super-bright LED backlighting provides excellent visibility in any studio environment. Rock-solid USB 2.0 connectivity via USB-C delivers ultra-low latency performance, and the included EVO Mixer software streamlines workflow management for recording, content creation, and live streaming applications.
