An analogue preamp but smarter
Backed by over 25 years of engineering experience, our analogue mic preamp has been designed to deliver the most accurate, clean and true to source version of your audio, no matter what you’re recording. Stunning sound quality, every time.
More than just another preamp
The EVO preamp effortlessly combines the benefits of both the analogue and digital domains. Not only does the EVO preamp have all the sonic advantages of an analogue mic preamp, but combines it with digitally controlled precision, giving you the ability to set your gain with pin-point accuracy, right down to the decibel.
Super clean audio everytime
High performance converters are critical for hearing your audio accurately and boy does EVO 4 deliver, providing a massive 113db of dynamic range alongside ridiculously low noise and distortion figures. And with performance that good, you will be making music like the pros before you know it.
Designed to change the game
Meet Smartgain, the ultimate time saver designed to take the guesswork out of setting your levels. Powered by our lightning quick algorithm, Smartgain uses advanced peak analysis to automatically analyse, adjust and set your gain to the perfect levels – all in less than 20 seconds! Giving you perfect recordings every time.
No time to waste?
Get setup in minutes and accelerate your workflow with EVO 4’s beautifully simple one knob control system. Designed from the ground up to be the most user friendly interface on the market, EVO 4 lets you master the controls fast, so you can focus on the music.
Guitars at the ready
Give your guitars the foundation they need to create monster guitar tones. Our harmonically rich JFET instrument input circuit is designed to replicate the input stage of a classic valve amplifier, providing an ideal sonic foundation before you hit your guitar sims.
Say goodbye to latency
Incredibly low latency specs alongside configurable direct monitoring, make issues with latency a thing of the past, letting your creativity go uninterrupted.
Speed meets reliability
In the studio, every second counts – and with rock solid driver performance and a high-speed USB connection, EVO 4 will always deliver the reliability needed to keep up with your creativity.
