48V
Channels 1+2 and 3+4 can be stereo linked, which allows you to match the
gain for both channels to make sure your left and right channels are at the
same level.
This would be used when recording an instrument using two microphones,
such as a piano or guitar, or if inputting a stereo line signal like a synth or DJ
decks.
To do this, press down the 1 and 2 buttons or the 3 and 4 buttons at the same
time. The Channels in the software mixer will then automatically change to
a Stereo Channel to reect this.
Whilst two channels are linked, selecting one of the channels will
automatically select the linked channel as well.
Some microphones will require phantom power in order to function. This is
+48 volts of power sent via the XLR cable and used to correctly power up
the microphone and allow it to work.
Microphones that require phantom power are typically condenser
microphones. In rare cases, microphones that don’t require phantom power
can be damaged by providing phantom power to them so we’d recommend
checking the microphone’s documentation to see if you need to provide
phantom power or not.
To enable phantom power on EVO 8, simply press the channel button you
wish to use phantom power on and then press the 48V button. This will then
remain illuminated red to remind you that phantom power is active on the
selected channel.
If EVO 8 is connected to a USB-A port then you’ll only be able to use 2
channels of phantom power at one time. If the EVO 8 is connected to a
USB-C port that can provide 1.5A of current then you can use all 4
channels at the same time.

Instrument Input
Volume Control
EVO 8 includes a dedicated Instrument input to directly connect
instruments such as guitars and basses. The Instrument input is sometimes
also known as a DI (Direct Injection) and provides a high input impedance,
which enables you to get the best tone from your instruments.
The DI port is found on the front of EVO 8 and accepts an unbalanced TS
jack, just like the ones you’d plug into a guitar amp.
TS 1/4”
Jack
When a guitar Jack is plugged into the Instrument Input, the signal is sent
to Input Channel 1 and overrides what is currently connected to the Mic/
EVO 8 provides you with two separate controls for the two sets of outputs.
Pressing the Volume Control 1 button will adjust the volume of the 1+2 speaker
outputs or the rst headphone output and pressing the Volume Control 2 will
allow you to separately adjust the volume for Speaker Outputs 3+4 or the
second headphone output.
To adjust the output volume, simply tap the output you wish to adjust and
turn the control knob. The Meter ring will illuminate to show the current
volume level.
Muting
EVO 8 allows you to quickly Mute both the Outputs and the four inputs.
Simply press and hold any of the channel buttons or either of the Output
Line input for Channel 1.
You would then simply set your gain as you would with the Mic/Line
inputs, either using Smartgain or the main knob.

SOFTWARE
This allows you to select between 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz and 96kHz as your
sample rate. Ensure that this matches what you are using in your recording
software if possible.
EVO Mixer
Mute (M) - This will mute the track so it is no longer being monitored.
The EVO software mixer software allows you to completely control your
monitoring for recording, mixing or content creation.
Meter - This shows the current input level of a particular channel. If the signal
level is too high, a red “Clip” indicator will show at the top of the meter. In this
instance, you may need to adjust the Gain of your inputs or the volumes in your
recording software.
Fader - The fader determines how much signal is sent to the outputs. The faders
have an additional 6dB of monitoring gain available allowing you to boost a
quiet signal, this is done by pulling up the fader to the +6dB point.
In the mixer there are multiple channels from dierent sources. These dierent
channels are explained below:
Mic 1, 2, 3 & 4 - These are the four microphone inputs of the EVO 8. Pulling up
the faders for these channels allows you to listen to the 4 inputs through your
Each fader has the following functions:
Pan Control - This allows you to monitor the audio on either the left speaker, the
right speaker or anywhere in between.
Stereo/Mono - Adjacent tracks can be stereo linked for when you are recording
a stereo source, such as a synth or when using stereo mic techniques.
Solo (S) - Solo will mute every other input apart from the channels that have
the solo button selected.
speakers or headphones with very low latency
Mac 1+2, 3+4 or Windows 1+2, 3+4 - This is your playback DAW from your
computer, such as playing back recordings or instruments from your DAW, or
just playback from media players or web browsers. Pulling up the fader for these
channels allows you to play this back through your EVO 8.
On the far right side of Outputs 1+2 and Outputs 3+4 is the master section. From
here you can adjust the output levels of the 1+2 Outputs and the 3+4 outputs
independently. You can also hide either the Mic or DAW channels if you’re not
using them by clicking the corresponding “eye” buttons at the bottom of the
master sections.

SOFTWARE SOFTWARE
Advanced Features
Artist Mix - EVO 8 allows you to have a dierent mix being sent to Outputs 3+4
(Headphone 2), using a feature called Artist Mix.
Mic Pre Controls - The Mic pre’s on EVO 8 can be remotely controlled from the
EVO Mixer software. To enable this go to the “View” menu and select “Show Mic
Pre Controls”.
Once this is enabled, on the bottom of each channel, you’ll see a gain control
and a +48V button.
This can be enabled by going to the Setup Menu and selecting “Enable Artist
Mix”.
You can then adjust the audio being sent to Outputs 3+4 by clicking on the
Output 3+4 in the master section of the mixer. This will then open the second
mixer indicated by a yellow band across the top of the screen.
The +48V button will enable phantom power on this channel and the Gain
control will adjust the gain level on the EVO 8 itself. Allowing you to make quick
changes to your setup without having to look away from the computer during
a busy session.
Examples of when you may wish to use this would include, having an engineer
using the main speakers (Outputs 1 + 2) and having an artist using headphones
(Outputs 3+4) with both listening to separate mixes. The engineer would use the
Outputs 1+2 to listen to the overall mix for example while the output 3+4 mix can
be used to send a click track or direct monitoring from the microphones just to
the artist.

SOFTWARE SOFTWARE
MAC/WINDOWS 1+2
USING LOOP-BACK ON MAC
This option will take audio from any playback to the Output 1+2 channels on
EVO 8. This will typically be your main playback channel from most software.
MAC/WINDOWS 3+4
This option will take audio from any playback to the Output 3+4 channels on
EVO 8.
LOOP-BACK 1+2
This allows you to take audio from the dedicated EVO 8 loop-back channels
which are outputs 5+6.
The rst step is to decide if you’d prefer to use the dedicated loop-back
channel or if you’d prefer to use the Master or Artist mixes as your source. The
Master or Artist mixes are better if you wish to combine your microphones and
Loopback audio into a single feed.
If you choose to use the dedicated loop-back channels, the rst step is setting
up your computer to output sound to the Loop-back outputs of EVO 8. On
some software, you can change this in the software itself in the settings. For
details on how this is done, we’d recommend contacting the developer of your
software or reading through its manual.
Otherwise, for software that doesn’t allow you to set the output channel, such
as web browsers or video call services, you may need to adjust your output
setting in the Mac Audio MIDI setup.
MASTER MIX
This option allows you to take the source from the master mix you have created
in the EVO mixer. This is great for combining audio from your microphones and
loopback channels into a single feed.
ARTIST MIX
If you have the Artist Mix enabled (details on pages 30), you can also use this
as a loop back source. Again, you can combine Mic and Loop back channels,
but means that your loop back mix can be dierent to what you are listening
to via your Master mix.
To open the Audio MIDI setup go to nder and click:
Applications > Utilities > audiomidisetup.app

Then select EVO 8 from the list of devices and select Congure Speakers:
USING LOOP-BACK ON WINDOWS
As with MacOS you can use either the Dedicated loop-back channel or the
Master/Artist Mix.
If using the dedicated loop back channels, the rst step of is setting up your
computer to output sound to the Loop-back outputs of EVO 8. On some
software, you can change this in the software itself in the settings. For details on
how this is done, we’d recommend contacting the developer of your software or
reading through it’s manual.
Otherwise, for software that doesn’t allow you to set the output channel, such
Then simply set your left and right output to Loop-back 1 (L) and Loop-back 2
(R). Now any audio played back from your Mac will be sent through the
Loop-back Mixer, ready to be recorded or streamed.
Otherwise, if you are using the Master Mix or Artist mix, open the EVO Mixer and
use the faders to create your Master or Artist Mix.
Now that the Loop-back output is set up, you would then simply need to open
the software you will be using to capture or stream the audio and set your audio
input to the Loop-back inputs.
Depending on your software, this may appear as Loop-back 1+2 or just as Input
5+6.
as web browsers or video call services, you may need to adjust your output
setting in the Windows Sound Settings.
