Audient EVO 16

Audient EVO 16 – 24-in/24-out USB Audio Interface with Smartgain, Motion UI, and Expandable I/O – 8 EVO mic preamps, advanced converters with 121dB dynamic range, Smartgain for all channels, dual headphone outputs, JFET instrument inputs, and ADAT/SPDIF expansion. Compatible with Mac, PC, and iOS.

The EVO 16 redefines the home and project studio experience with powerful hardware and intelligent features designed for modern creators. It includes 8 digitally-controlled EVO mic preamps for clean, accurate sound, Smartgain that automatically sets input levels for all channels, and a high-resolution Motion UI screen to simplify control and monitoring. With 24-in/24-out capabilities via ADAT/SPDIF, EVO 16 adapts easily to both small and large sessions.

On the front panel, two JFET instrument inputs recreate the feel of a tube amp front-end, while two high-headroom headphone outputs deliver enough power for high-impedance headphones. The interface features 8 line outputs for flexible routing to monitors, external FX, or cue mixes. Thanks to Audio Loop-back and Talkback functions, it’s ideal for content creators, streamers, and multi-source routing. Rugged steel housing, vibrant LED lighting, and rack-mount support ensure EVO 16 looks and performs like a studio centerpiece for years to come.
