Smartgain
EVO 4’s most exciting and game changing feature is
‘Smartgain’. Start playing or singing and Smartgain mode
will automatically set the level of your microphones.
Once Smartgain has set the gain level, you can make small adjustments by pressing one of the input buttons and then turning the volume controls.

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.

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

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,
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
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.

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

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. 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
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.

SOFTWARE FEATURES
EVO 4 includes a small application allowing you to make quick simple changes from your computer. The EVO application is available for both macOS and Windows.
The EVO application will run in the menu bar on Mac and in the system tray of Windows.
Set Audio Loop-back Source
This allows you to choose the source of your Audio Loop-back, either from the Main Monitor Output or the dedicated Audio Loop-back send channels. Main Monitor Outputs simply allows you to record what you are listening to through main outputs. Audio Loop-back send allows you to loopback a dierent signal to the one you are listening to, uses of this feature are covered later in the manual.

AUDIO LOOP-BACK
Using Audio Loop-back Channels on Mac
The rst step of using Audio Loop-back is setting up your computer to output sound to the Audio Loop-back outputs of EVO 4. 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.
Congure Speakers
To open the Audio MIDI setup go to nder and click:
Applications > Utilities > audiomidisetup.app
Then select EVO 4 from the list of devices and select Congure Speakers.
