Is it possible to use two Evo 16 hooked up and still have the smart gain? or do I need to have the sp8 to expand exclusively?
@weareevoaudio
@weareevoaudio Күн бұрын
We don't recommend using two EVO 16's together as it makes for a cumbersome setup. If you need more I/O then expanding with the SP8 is the way to go!

Can EVO 8 add more mic input if needed?
@weareevoaudio
@weareevoaudio 8 күн бұрын
No, the EVO 8 doesn't have any Optical I/O so it's not possible to have more than 4 inputs at one time. If you do need more input then we'd recommend using the EVO 16 instead which can be expanded to up to 24 inputs if required!

I want to connect the Colour Box v2 and use it as a preamp. Is it safe to use this on the evo 16? I'm asking because all inputs on the evo 16 are preamps. I don't see a feature to bypass these on the evo or in the software.
@weareevoaudio
@weareevoaudio 11 күн бұрын
Yes, that would work perfectly fine! It isn't possible to bypass the pre-amps on EVO 16 but if you just set them to minimum gain then they are clean enough that you'll get no noticeable distortion colouration or noise added to your external pre-amp signal.

Awesome review. So are the JFET pres (1 & 2) also compatible with condenser mics using the 48v phantom power?
@weareevoaudio
@weareevoaudio 15 күн бұрын
The JFETs on channels 1+2 are only in use when you have the instrument mode enabled for these channels If you turn Instrument mode off, then inputs 1+2 are just another pair of Mic Pre inputs and these will work just fine with a Condenser mic and will provide full 48V phantom power

The JFET input only applies if you have the Instrument mode enabled on channels 1+2. Otherwise, input 1+2 are just standard Mic/Line inputs and will be able to send full phantom power to a condenser microphone connected via the XLR input

When Logic Pro 11 launches, it causes my Evo 16 outputs (and headphone outputs) to pop or click twice. It's only a low level click, but it's still audible. Also, after about 20 to 30 minutes, Logic loses connection with my Evo 16 and asks if I want to connect to another audio device. Are you aware of these issues?
@weareevoaudio

It's not possible to bypass the pre-amp circuit on the EVO 16 or EVO SP8. However, the on-board pre-amps are clean enough that you can plug an external pre-amp into the line input and you won't notice any additional colouration or noise being introduced by the EVO pre-amp to your audio.

I want to be able to use this with an interface that has anilog inputs... if I use this SP8, can I get whatever gains from the preamps through the 8 outputs into the inputs of the other interface? hope that makes sense.

Yes, you can set the SP8 to operate as an analogue pre-amp with the pre-amp outputs being sent to the analogue outputs of SP8 in order to feed another 8-channel interface.

I wish all the controls just had their own knobs. The one giant knob and multiple combinations of clicks and holds to reveal parameters means that you can't just see where you're at at a glance. I get that this is because it's a digital amp, but the best of both worlds would be cool.

@weareevoaudio
@weareevoaudio Ай бұрын
You can use the SP8 to feed an ATMOS setup. However, the SP8 doesn't have a volume control for the outputs so you'd need to use either an external monitor controller or control the monitoring volume on your computer. If you haven't already, I'd also check out the Audient ORIA which is an interface/monitor controller designed from the ground up for ATMOS and Immersive audio setups
