About this item
Podcasters, musicians, producers, and content creators can benefit from the Audient EVO 4, a desktop 2x2 USB audio interface that makes capturing high-quality audio effortless. It features two warm EVO mic preamps, a JFET Hi-Z input for instruments, and Smartgain automatic gain control. Plus, its two 1/4" monitor outputs and headphone output are perfect for connecting your speakers and headphones for monitoring.
High-Quality Audio Performance
Building on Audient's 20+ years of audio design experience, the EVO 4 gives you premium audio quality—58 dB gain range, -128 dB mic pre EIN, and 113 dB dynamic range—on your desktop; something that benefits content creators, producers, and instrumentalists in home studios or on the go.
2-Channel Input Section
Record panel podcasts or several musicians through the warm, accurate EVO preamps and high-performance AKM converters. The EVO 4 features two XLR-1/4" combo mic/line inputs and a 1/4" Hi-Z JFET instrument input to handle a variety of sources from dynamic and condenser mics to electric guitars and outboard preamps.
Stereo Headphone Out and Two Monitor Outputs
With two balanced 1/4" monitor outputs and a 1/4" headphone output, the EVO 4 can act as the central hub for your main speakers and headphones. Plus, the touch points and large rotary control provide intuitive access to volume adjustments for the outputs.
SmartMuting
Connecting a set of headphones to either of the headphone ports will automatically mute the corresponding speaker outputs, making switching between loudspeaker monitoring and headphone monitoring quick and seamless.
Smartgain Mode
Make sure you capture everything perfectly with Smartgain mode. Start playing or singing and Smartgain mode will automatically set the level of your microphones. You can even perfectly match and adjust gain to two channels simultaneously.
Work Anywhere
All of EVO 4's advanced features are powered directly from your computer via USB, letting you start recording on the go, whenever inspiration strikes.
Audio Loopback
Audio loopback enables you to record your computer audio at the same time as your microphones, making it ideal for podcasters and streamers.

In addition to being compatible with Mac and Windows computers, the EVO 4 audio interface can be used with your iPad or iPhone. To use EVO 4 with an iPad Pro that has a USB Type-C port, simply connect it using a USB Type-C cable (available separately). The USB Type-C port on the iPad Pro will provide full USB bus power, so you do not need an external power source.
