BASIC SETUP

USING SR1 MICROPHONE AND SR2000 HEADPHONES

Firstly ensure your EVO is set up as per the instructions on Pages XX-XX.

CONNECTING THE HEADPHONES

Once this is all set up, connect your SR2000 headphones to the EVO’s
headphone jack found on the front of EVO 4. If you haven’t already, ensure
you screw on the included adaptor to make the jack connection the correct
size for the headphone port.

connected to the EVO 4 to allow for more accurate headphone monitoring.
To hear audio through your monitors again, simply unplug the headphones.
Tap the Volume Button on the EVO 4 and turn the volume knob to adjust

SETTING THE PERFECT MICROPHONE LEVEL

The SR1 is a condenser microphone and therefore requires +48V
phantom power to operate. To turn this on, Press the “1” button on the
EVO 4 to select this input and press the +48V button to turn phantom
power on for this channel. The +48V button will now illuminate red to
indicate that phantom power is active.

You can now use Smartgain to set your perfect input level. To do this,
press the green Smartain button, tap the “1” button to select this
channel and press the Smartgain button again to begin. The lights will
now start pulsing to indicate that Smartgain is active.

You are now ready to start recording

Stereo Linking

The two inputs of EVO 4 can be stereo linked, which allows you to match the
gain for both left and right channels 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 at the same time.

Phantom Power

Some microphones will require phantom power in order to function. This is
48 volts of power that is sent via the XLR cable and this powers up the mi­crophone and allows it to work.

Microphones that require phantom power are typically condenser
microphones. In rare cases, microphones can be damaged by providing
phantom power to them so we’d recommend checking the documentation
for your microphone to see if you need to provide phantom power or not.

To enable phantom power on EVO 4, simply press the channel button you
wish to use phantom power on and then press the 48v button. This will then
remain lit red to remind you that you have phantom power on.

48V

HARDWARE HARDWARE

Instrument Input

Headphone Output

EVO 4 includes a dedicated instrument 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
gives you the best tone from your instruments.

The DI port is found on the front of EVO 4 and accepts an unbalanced TS
1/4” jack, just like the ones you’d plug into a guitar amp.

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/
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 Volume Knob.

On the front of EVO 4, you’ll nd the headphone output. EVO 4 includes a
powerful headphone amplier allowing you to drive almost any headphone
to a good level.

When a headphone jack is connected to this output, EVO 4 will automatically
mute the Monitor Outputs for you to make life easier for you when moving
between Speaker and Headphone monitoring.

Monitor Outputs

EVO 4 gives you a pair of high-quality outputs to connect up your monitors or
speakers. These outputs are at line level, perfect for sending audio to a pair of
active monitors, although passive monitors can also be used if you have an

SmartMuting

Connecting a set of headphones to the headphone port will automatically

headphone monitoring quick and seamless.

Monitor Mix

When recording, you’ll want to listen to yourself so you can be sure everything
is sounding good. Some recording software will playback the audio you are
recording.

However, this is usually a little bit delayed from the original audio due to the
computer having to spend time processing the audio. This is known as
latency and can make playing in time dicult.

When you are listening to the inputs on EVO 4 using the Monitor Mix function,

This can be used to provide separation between two dierent
instruments for better monitoring. But this feature is incredibly useful when
recording a stereo source (such as two microphones on a piano, or a stereo
synth) as it allows you to accurately monitor the signal in full stereo as you’d
hear it in real life, allowing you to make better mic placement choices.

Press and hold the Monitor Mix button to enter Monitor Pan mode, now turn
the Knob to pan your inputs from the centre to the left and right channels.

Volume Control

This is pretty simple, just tap the volume control button to adjust your output
volume using the knob. The meter ring will illuminate to show you the relative
volume level you are currently using.

you’ll be hearing the Inputs directly which means there’s almost no delay!

Monitor Mix allows you to control what you’re listening to on the outputs of
EVO 4. You can choose between listening to your Inputs, the Playback from
your computer, or a blend of both. To set this, press the Monitor mix button
and then turn the knob. An LED on the meter ring will illuminate to show your
current Monitor Mix setting.

Turn the dial clockwise to hear more of your computer playback or
anticlockwise to hear more of your inputs.

Monitor Pan

EVO 4 gives you even more control of your monitoring with the Monitor Pan
function.

The Volume control applies to both the monitor outputs and headphone
outputs.

Muting

EVO 4 allows you to Mute both the outputs and the two inputs. Simply press
and hold either one of the channel buttons or the output volume button to
quickly mute them.

The button will then ash to indicate it is muted. To unmute it, simply press
and hold it again.

This is useful to quickly mute a microphone during a podcast or to mute the
sound to your speakers to quickly take a phone call for example.

AUDIO LOOP-BACK MIXER

Opening the Audio Loop-back mixer gives you a small mixer window enabling
you to control what is sent to your Loop-back Left and Right Inputs

This gives you the ability to take audio playback from your computer and
capture this in your recording software, or send it to a streaming service. The
mixer also gives you the possibility to blend in either of your two inputs, perfect
for capturing gameplay footage or recording a Skype conversation.

The Loop-back mixer is opened by going to the EVO Menu and selecting Show
Loop-back Mixer. The Loop-back mixer oers the following channels to blend

into your loop-back input:

Mic 1

This is the input from input 1 on EVO 4 itself. This would be either the Mic/Line
input on the rear or the instrument input if you have something connected to it.
This channel includes a pan control to allow you to send your input to either the
left or right side of your speakers.

Mic 2

This is the Mic/Line input 2 on EVO 4 and takes signal from the second Mic/line
input on the rear of EVO 4. Like Mic 1, this includes a pan control.

DAW 1+2

This is the main playback from your computer and what is usually sent to your
speakers or headphones. If you are listening back to your loop-back while you
are recording or streaming then you should keep this fader down or you may
get feedback.

Loop-back 1+2

These are your dedicated loop-back outputs which are separate from your
normal playback outputs. This allows you to loop-back audio which is dierent
to what you are listening to.

Now that the Loop-back output is setup, 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
3+4.

This can be adjusted by going to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound.
Now select the Playback tab.

In the list of output devices, nd Loop-back 1+2, select it and then click ‘Set
Default Device’ Applications will then default to sending audio to the loop-back
output.

As with Mac, you’d simply need to open up your recording or streaming software
and select Loop-back 1+2 as your Input.
