EVO 16-24 in/24 out USB audio interface with Smartgain

Product Information

This gives me a fully functional line mixer in 1u, whereas similar functionality is 2u for other digital mixers, 3, 4 or 5u for their analog counterparts. But I think it really isn’t a big deal anymore, as most modern MIDI gear offers USB and I rarely use my interface’s MIDI port these days. Essentially I use the 828 as an 8 channel mixer, with cue/pfl on each channel, and I’m able to preset EQ and routing in advance. Thanks to the customisable F-button, you can assign any of EVO 16’s advanced monitoring controls to the programmable function button.

What’s really sold me on it , is that you can save a standalone mode , I was really in the market for a line mixer as I do any processing digitally , but I didn’t like any of the ones I could afford , so I ended up with an SLL Six a patchbay as I only need connections and gain.

The EVO 16 is a 24 in/24 out audio interface, perfect for musicians, engineers, producers, content creators, and more. For example even though inputs 1 and 2 can be switch to instrument this actually only works if you are connecting using a 1/4 jack, which OK is the most likely connection but for the other 6 inputs it auto switches between mic and line based on if you are using an XLR connector but XLR can be used for balanced line connections too so this is a bit of an issue when you have an interface permanently wired into a rack.
