Audient EVO SP8 8-Channel Smart Preamp w/ AD/DA

The EVO SP8 studio preamp expander brings professional-grade recording capabilities to your existing setup with eight intelligent preamps that automatically set their own levels. This compact powerhouse features advanced 32-bit AD/DA converter technology, versatile I/O connectivity including ADAT expansion, and two JFET instrument inputs, making it an ideal solution for scaling up your studio without breaking the bank. The groundbreaking Motion UI control system and exceptional audio performance across all channels position the SP8 as potentially the world’s smartest mic preamp.

Built for bigger sessions, the SP8 provides eight mic/line inputs, eight line outputs, and dual ADAT connections to handle multi-mic recording scenarios like drum sessions or full band recordings. The analogue mic preamps draw on 25 years of engineering experience to capture the most accurate, clean representation of your source material, while digitally controlled precision allows gain adjustment down to the decibel. Smartgain technology uses advanced peak analysis to automatically set perfect levels across all eight channels in under 20 seconds, making solo recording sessions significantly more efficient.

The SP8’s design balances professional functionality with practical studio integration, featuring super bright backlit LEDs for visibility in dark environments and a solid steel chassis built for daily studio and road use. At just over 14 inches wide with non-slip rubber feet, it works equally well on desktops, in portable rigs, or as a permanent studio fixture. Environmental considerations include optional detachable rack ears to reduce raw materials and shipping impact, plus packaging that utilises recycled materials while minimising plastic usage.
