Audient Evo 4 2-in/ 2-out Audio Interface

Audient Evo 4 2-in/ 2-out Audio Interface

The USB audio interface is a very standardized device. For those who aren't familiar, it's the hardware that allows you to connect an XLR or 1/4′′ output microphone or instrument to your computer via a USB connection for recording or streaming. The EVO 4, a contemporary take on the device that includes several smarter tech tweaks to make using one even more accessible, is a relatively new entrant from Audient. There are many choices in USB audio interfaces from a wide range of brands, but a moderately new entrant from Audient is the EVO 4, a modern take on the device that includes some smarter technology tweaks to make using one is easier.

EVO 4 is a two-in-two-out audio interface, meaning it can accept input from up to two microphones or instruments and output to speakers, headphones, and your pc. Apart from these combo XLR+1/4′′ connectors on the back, Audient has added a dedicated 1/4′′ input for plugging onto your guitar, making the EVO 4 even more versatile on the input front. This is a fantastic feature for those who wish to use this as an instrument recording method, and it outperforms the majority of its competitors in terms of flexibility.

Audient has also made it easy to connect the EVO 4 to your computer using USB-C as the primary connector. This way, it'll most likely work with wires you now have or can easily find, despite where you wish to make use of it. A USB-C connection not only sends audio to pc but also gives the EVO 4 all the power it needs to run, with the 48v phantom power, it needs to operate microphones that require it. As it is USB powered, it is portable, and because of its smaller size it helps, It helps to make the perfect audio interface for developing a lightweight, very packable podcast interview kit.

The physical controls are placed on the upper part of the EVO 4. There is a single big volume dial, two XLR input selection buttons, a 48v phantom power toggle, a monitor mix and pan button, and a volume button that applies to both headphones and any attached speakers. There's also a dedicated, giant green button for Smartgain, there is an exclusive Audient function that will improve the EVO 4's expediency.

When it comes to the control interfaces on the EVO 4, it's a mixed bag on one. Firstly they help to keep the hardware sleek and clear-cut. Secondly, understand how to adjust input volume levels to control interfaces, you have to switch between different outputs and then try tuning the mix to every bit of a learning curve. It's a more modern take on an audio control surface (many other USB interfaces still rely on specific hardware switches and dials for most of these functions), so it'll take some time to getting used to it for anyone who is used to the traditional method of doing it. Having said that, once you figure out how it functions and which buttons should be pushed in what order, everything becomes rather obvious and easy to remember.
