The ultimate studio preamp expander is here. The Audient EVO
SP8 8-Channel Mic Preamp with AD-DA Convertor is designed to be the perfect
partner for expanding your existing audio interface. Give your studio the
performance and capability boost it needs, providing eight intelligent EVO
Preamps that set their levels with Smartgain, advanced AD-DA converter
technology, and a versatile range of I-O connectivity. Add to that two JFET
instrument inputs, the all-new, ground-breaking Motion UI control system, and
exceptional audio performance across the board. The EVO SP8 might just be the
world’s smartest Mic Preamp.
The Perfect Partner for Your Audio Interface
Bigger sessions demand more channels and expanding your existing audio
interface via ADAT might be the most cost-effective solution to scale up your
studio. EVO SP8 provides eight mic or line inputs, eight line outputs, and 2 x
ADAT connections, giving you enough I-O firepower to easily tackle multi-mic
sessions like recording drums, or taking on a full band.

preamps will effortlessly level up your recordings, delivering
professional-grade audio performance backed by 25 years of engineering
experience. The analog mic preamp has been designed to deliver the most
accurate, clean, and true-to-source version of your audio, no matter what
you’re recording.
An Analogue Mic Pre, Made Smarter

technology. Combining all the sonic advantages of a studio-grade analog mic
preamp with digitally controlled tactile precision, the EVO Preamp gives you
the ability to set your gain with pin-point accuracy, right down to the
decibel.
Advanced Converter Technology
In the studio, sound is everything and EVO SP8’s high-performance AD-DA
converters use 32-bit technology to make sure you hear your audio accurately at
all times, whether you’re recording music or sending audio to your favourite
outboard gear and back when mixing. Better converters mean better audio -
helping you make creative decisions confidently, identify issues, and improve
your overall recording and mixing game.

Introducing Motion UI
An audio interface UI created by EVO by Audient. Navigate SP8’s hardware
features with blazing speed courtesy of the all-new Motion User Interface. For
the first time, a stunning high-resolution, full-color screen intelligently
displays information as you need it, transforming EVO SP8 into a fully
immersive, easy-to-use Smart Preamp - the first of its kind.
Classic Tone, Modern Sound
2 x Instrument inputs to build a monster guitar sound you need the right
foundation. The harmonically rich JFET instrument input circuit is designed to
replicate the input stage of a classic valve amplifier, providing an ideal
sonic foundation before you hit your guitar sims.
Looks that Could Kill
SP8 has been meticulously designed to look amazing on both your desktop and
in your rack. Super bright backlit LED lighting not only looks stunning but
ensures visibility in the darkest of studios, whilst a solid steel chassis
makes sure EVO SP8 is up to the challenges of daily use in the studio and on
the road.
Portable- Stacked or Racked
Designed to slot straight into your studio, EVO SP8 defies the normal with
its deceptively small form factor. Although jam-packed and full of features, at
just over 14in wide with non-slip rubber feet, SP8 works perfectly whether on
your desktop, in a portable rig, or as a permanent fixture in your studio.
Environmentally Friendly
To minimize the environmental impact, EVO SP8’s detachable rack ears will
be available as an optional extra, reducing required raw materials, shipping
volumes, and thus the carbon footprint. EVO SP8’s packaging utilizes recycled
materials whilst keeping plastic usage to a minimum.
