Audient EVO SP8

There's cheaper alternatives, but I'm already used to the pre amps in my Audient audio interface and I quite like them. Easy to setup and use, expanding the inputs and outputs with ADAT is really why I bought it and it does that very well. The sound quality is pretty good, can't tell the difference with my interface. 4/5 quality because the front buttons doesn't feel very sturdy, especially the volume knob, we'll see on the long run.

I bought it recently. I connected it to apollo twin. It's gives me 8 adat channel. Easy to use it. It has small screen on the front and smart mic gain. Very clear sound. I am very happy with it. Thanks Thomann.

If you need multiple inputs and outputs, you can honestly not go wrong with this and the Evo 16. Clean pre-amps, easy to use and set up. Loopback is a massive bonus. Use the outputs for send return FX. I am actually quite shocked that Audient can sell at this price. I keep thinking they missed off a zero. I have my Isla S2400 plugged into this and the Evo 16 and with its 8 mono outs and stereo out, I still have enough to add my MPC One, SP404 MKII and a mic or two. If I bought another SP8 I would be completely sorted, but that is just greedy. Although...

It’s a miracle that you can have such a pristine preamp, truly plug and play, for that kind of money.

I bought this unit to had a monitoring solution to my MOTU AI and I am extremely impressed with the sound and build quality.
The only downside is that there aren't any control for the lines out so I'll have to send it back to get an EVO 16 instead which I believe do have an overall out control.

Really good - wish it had extra headphone outputs at the front could have been done?

Great with the evo 16

Very high quality build, and the sound quality is excellent. I suppose similar products that cost 3-4 times the amount might sound better, but this is very good for it's price.

I personally didn't like it for reasons of my own.
Everyone else will love it.
It's a good product, well built and easy to operate.
