Audient EVO SP8 8-Channel Smart Microphone Preamp | Smartgain Auto-Gain ADAT Expansion
Audient EVO SP8 is an 8-channel smart preamp designed for the modern studio, serving as the perfect expansion partner for your audio interface. Via ADAT optical connection, it instantly adds 8 high-quality EVO microphone preamps to your existing setup, allowing you to easily handle large-scale sessions like drum recording or full band tracking.
The SP8 features the revolutionary Smartgain technology. With the press of a single button, it automatically sets the optimal gain levels for all 8 channels in seconds, eliminating clipping and tedious manual adjustments. Paired with top-tier 24-bit / 96kHz AD/DA converters and an intuitive Motion UI high-resolution full-color screen, it ensures you have a clear view of audio dynamics from any angle, letting you focus on creativity rather than technical settings.
Core Advantages & Application Scenarios
Smartgain Multi-Channel Auto Gain
This is the SP8's most powerful feature. When recording multiple microphones simultaneously (like a drum kit), simply press Smartgain, play for a moment, and the system automatically analyzes peaks and sets perfect gain levels for all 8 channels, significantly saving setup time.
The Perfect Studio Expander
With dual ADAT optical I/O, the SP8 is the ideal partner for the EVO 16 or any interface with optical expansion ports (such as Apollo Twin, Focusrite Scarlett). It provides not only 8 analog inputs but also 8 analog outputs, doubling your hardware integration capabilities.
Motion UI Full-Color Feedback
Breaking the limitations of traditional LED indicators, the SP8 adopts a high-resolution full-color LCD screen, offering clear metering, channel status, and function menus. Its wide viewing angle ensures visibility whether placed on a desktop or in a rack.
