If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered Most of the EVO 16’s I/O is on the rear panel, along with the USB‑C port and mains IEC inlet. Digital By Design You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail.

Our main concern was that the unit could simply have a few extra channels thrown in (and a few extra numbers on the price tag!). Multichannel interfaces are not only a considerable investment, but they also involve connecting with a wide range of equipment. This makes it important to select something future-proof, no matter what end of the market you’re shopping in. The Smart Gain button is handily noted in green, not that you’d miss it of course, and this is one of the most unique aspects of the Evo series and one that really sets it apart from other interfaces.In fact, adding these functions to the interface where we’d normally expect to see them on a mixing console seemed a really smart move that helps bring some of the recording studio experience to home or smaller music setups. Also, the fabulous Audient JFET instrument inputs are on this device. The quality of these caught me by surprise on my iD14 when I first plugged a bass into it. Short of a dedicated high quality DI and preamp combination, this input really sounds great. Please let us know if the personal information that we hold about you needs to be corrected or updated.

I’m a big fan of Audient gear. I own a Gen 1 iD14 and I used to teach at a college that had both an ASP8024 and an ASP4816. They all work and sound great. Take that as a brand endorsement before we even start. One of the things that differentiates the EVO range from Audient’s more costly ID and ASP products is the use of generic audio circuitry rather than bespoke designs. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that you can expect inferior performance, and the audio specifications for the EVO 16 are actually rather good. (They’re also commendably clear and comprehensive, especially in regard to things like headphone output level, which is often overlooked.) If you’re thinking of interfacing the EVO 16 with other studio gear, though, be aware that like many other affordable interfaces, it doesn’t quite operate at ‘professional’ levels. The outputs generate a maximum level of +12dBu, while the hottest that can be accommodated at the inputs is +16dBu. Compatibility with current and future versions of your OS and DAW is essential, and you may even want to expand your interface with additional inputs at a later stage. In its default state, EVO seems designed to present the simplest and least intimidating array of controls possible, presumably so as not to put off newcomers. Delve a little deeper, however, and you’ll find that it offers a surprisingly comprehensive level of control, including a number of features that are more typical of expensive ‘professional’ interfaces. I’ve already mentioned the ability to apply a level offset to the Alt Speaker mix, for level‑matched speaker switching. That and all the other possible function button settings are all available simultaneously from the right‑hand side of the EVO panel, and many are further configurable from the Settings window. A particularly great feature is that you can choose whether you want the mono fold‑down to be routed to the left, right, or both speakers — single‑speaker mono is incredibly useful, and I can’t think of many other interfaces that make it easily accessible at a single button press. Routing is as flexible as you’re ever likely to need it to be, and unless you wanted to use the EVO 16 to drive a surround speaker setup, I can’t imagine feeling limited by its capabilities. The mixer settings can be stored in the hardware as a standalone setup. You can then use the EVO 16 as a multi-channel preamp, router and rudimentary mixer without connecting it to a computer, which is ideal for location filming work.

Future-proof your Setup This Section G sets out our data retention policies and procedure, which are designed to help ensure that we comply with our legal obligations regarding the retention and deletion of personal information. The channel strips themselves function much in the same way as they would within your DAW meaning it really doesn’t take long to get used to the on-screen options. Similarly, if you need to troubleshoot any of your mics, you can hold down the channel number to mute that channel and find the problem at the source.
