The only thing more consistent than our coverage of Audient’s growing range is the reliability, build, quality and design of their products. Audient is a UK-based professional audio company who produces everything you need at the core of your studio: preamps, consoles and converters. Founders David Dearden and Gareth Davies met while working at Soundcraft, when their knack for designing and building functional equipment began to fall into place.
Audient’s range of EVO interfaces is so unique that they’ve side-stepped into their own branding, EVO by Audient. EVO are some of the most unassuming pieces on the market, classy matte black boxes filled with high end AD/DA converters, clean mic preamps and well-laid out controls. The most recent addition is the EVO SP8, built to provide even the most discerning studios with an extra 8 channels of EVO preamps. Connected via ADAT, the EVO SP8 features eight EVO mic preamps, two of those switchable to JFET Instrument/Hi-Z inputs and eight line outputs. The SP8 is rack mountable with the additional EVO SP8 Rack Ear Kit, so it can be installed on a more permanent basis into your racks, relegated to the very heart of your studio, interfacing all your equipment.
