EvermixBox5 – DJ Recording & Livestream Audio Interface The EvermixBox5 is a compact, laptop-free audio interface built specifically for DJs who want to record and livestream professional-quality sets directly from their mixer to a smartphone or tablet. Connecting via USB-C (or Lightning with the optional cable), it captures 24-bit lossless WAV audio at 44.1kHz and pairs with the free Evermix Pro App to publish directly to SoundCloud, Mixcloud and other platforms, no computer required. Whether you're recording a club set, building a DJ portfolio or streaming live to YouTube or Twitch, the Evermix Box5 handles it all from a pocket-sized, aircraft-grade aluminium chassis weighing just 90g. Staff Take: The Expert Verdict The EvermixBox5 is the most reliable "plug-and-forget" solution we've tested for capturing high-quality audio in a loud booth. The massive +16dB boost in dynamic range is the real hero here; it's incredibly forgiving, meaning you won't ruin a headline set with digital clipping even if the mixer levels get a bit "enthusiastic." For DJs who prioritize social content and quick uploads without lugging a laptop around, this is an essential bit of kit. Why Choose the EvermixBox5? Simultaneous Record & Stream: Capture high-definition audio and video to your device while broadcasting live to platforms like YouTube, Twitch, or Mixcloud—all through a single interface. Pro-Grade Audio Fidelity: Built with upgraded internal circuitry and a high-performance 24-bit DAC, providing a virtually silent noise floor and professional-standard 44.1kHz WAV recordings. Forgiving Dynamic Range: Featuring a +26dBu maximum input level, the Box5 is designed to handle the high-output signals of professional club mixers without distortion. Integrated Video Sync: Record social-ready video content with studio-grade audio automatically synced in real-time, completely bypassing the need for tedious post-production editing. Crowd Ambience Input: Includes a dedicated 3.5mm input with 3V phantom power. Connect an external mic to blend the energy of the crowd into your recording for a truly immersive "live" feel. Evermix Pro App Integration: Gain access to a powerful suite of mobile tools for gain normalization, EQ, and direct publishing to SoundCloud and Mixcloud with auto-synced metadata. Rugged, Pocket-Sized Build: Housed in a durable aircraft-grade aluminum chassis and weighing only 90g, it's built to survive life on the road and fits easily into any headphone bag. Direct Device Charging: The Box5 allows you to charge your smartphone or tablet while you record, ensuring your device doesn't die during a marathon set. Who Is this For? The Evermixbox 5 is aimed at working and aspiring DJs who take their content seriously but don't want the hassle of a laptop setup. If you play out regularly and want every set documented in broadcast-quality audio, this is your best option at this price point. It's equally at home being used by bedroom DJs building a SoundCloud following as it is by professional DJs recording at clubs and festivals. The crowd microphone input with 3V phantom power makes it particularly well suited to DJs who want that authentic "live" feel in their recordings, capturing the energy of the room alongside the mix, not just the sterile output from the booth. It also appeals strongly to DJ content creators who post to Instagram Reels, TikTok or YouTube, thanks to the real-time video sync built into the Evermix Pro App, which eliminates the need for any manual audio-video alignment in post-production. Evermixbox5 vs Box4 — What's Changed? The Evermix Box 5 represents a significant upgrade over its predecessor in the areas that matter most for professional use. The headline improvement is the jump to a +26dBu maximum input level, a substantial increase in dynamic range that makes it far more tolerant of the hot signal levels found on professional club mixers like the Pioneer DJM-900NXS2 or Allen & Heath Xone range. On the Box4, aggressive mixer gain staging could result in digital clipping; the Box5 largely eliminates that problem. The internal circuitry has also been redesigned with a higher-performance DAC that delivers a quieter noise floor, making the Box5 suitable for recording environments where background noise is a concern. The Evermix Pro App integration has been expanded with additional editing tools including gain normalisation and parametric EQ, meaning you can polish a recording before publishing without needing a separate DAW. If you already own a Box4 and record at professional venues, upgrading to the Box5 is a worthwhile investment. How to Set Up Getting up and running with the Box5 takes less than two minutes: Connect the included RCA-to-RCA phono cable from your DJ mixer's record output (or booth output) to the Box5's stereo RCA input. Plug the included DIN to USB-C cable from the Box5 into your iPhone or Android device. If you use an iPhone with a Lightning connector, you'll need the optional DIN to Lightning cable, sold separately. Download the free Evermix Pro App from the App Store or Google Play. Open the app — it will detect the Box5 automatically. Set your gain level using the in-app meters, aiming to keep peaks comfortably below 0dBFS. If you want to capture crowd ambience, plug an electret microphone into the 3.5mm input on the Box5 and balance the mic level within the app. Hit record (or go live) — the app handles everything from there, including video sync if you're filming at the same time. The Box5 can also charge your device while it records, via the pass-through charging port, so battery drain during a long set isn't a concern.

Does the product work without the app?The Box5 requires the Evermix Pro App to record, as the app handles gain control, file management and publishing. The app is free to download on both iOS and Android. What platforms can I livestream to with this?Via the Evermix Pro App, you can record and publish directly to Mixcloud and SoundCloud. For livestreaming to YouTube, Twitch or other platforms, you would use a third-party streaming app on your device with the Box5 as the audio input source. Can I use it to charge my phone while recording?Yes. The Box5 has a pass-through charging port that allows you to charge your smartphone or tablet simultaneously while recording, which is essential for long sets. Do I need a Lightning cable for iPhone?The Box5 includes a DIN to USB-C cable. If your iPhone uses a Lightning connector (iPhone 14 or older), you will need the optional DIN to Lightning cable, which is sold separately. What mixers is the EvermixBox5 compatible with?The Box5 works with any mixer that has a stereo RCA record output or booth output, which covers virtually all DJ mixers including Pioneer DJ, Allen & Heath, Rane, Denon DJ and Numark models. If your mixer only has XLR or jack outputs, you'll need an appropriate adapter cable.
