A complete home recording package that makes capturing high-quality audio effortless for podcasters, musicians, producers, and content creators, the Audient EVO Start Recording Bundle includes the EVO 4 desktop 2x2 USB Type-C audio interface, the EVO SR1 supercardioid condenser microphone, the EVO SR2000 monitoring headphones, a shockmount for the mic, and an XLR mic cable. The interface features two warm EVO mic preamps, a JFET Hi-Z input for instruments, and Smartgain automatic gain control. Plus, its two 1/4" monitor outputs and headphone output are perfect for connecting your speakers and the included headphones for monitoring. The EVO 4's large knob provides convenient control of levels for your monitors, headphones, and channels, while the multifunction buttons enable easy muting of the inputs and headphone output. The audio loopback function makes it possible to record computer audio at the same time as the inputs—a welcome feature for podcasters who need to capture remote guests via Skype or other VoIP apps. DAW software, virtual instruments, samples, cabinet simulation, and more are included to get you started on your path toward achieving polished productions. Because the unit is bus-powered, you can power it straight from your computer; you never need to worry about accidentally forgetting or unplugging a power supply.

You can even perfectly match and adjust gain to two channels simultaneously. Work Anywhere All of EVO 4's advanced features are powered directly from your computer via USB, letting you start recording on the go, whenever inspiration strikes. Audio Loopback Audio loopback enables you to record your computer audio at the same time as your microphones, making it ideal for podcasters and streamers. Record your computer's audio Record guest Skype/video calls Record gaming audio Powerful Control Smart Touchpoints: Control your speakers, headphones, and channels all using the volume encoder. Monitor Mix: Leave latency behind. Blend between your inputs and DAW playback to reduce latency when recording. Monitor Pan: Pan your inputs and DAW playback left or right and create the perfect headphone balance for recording. Switchable Phantom Power: Individually switch 48V phantom power on/off for each channel and give your microphones the power they need. Multifunction Buttons: Channels 1-2 and output volume button can quickly be muted by holding them down until they begin to flash. Software Control: Set the gain of your mic preamps using your DAW (with compatible software). Your settings will also be stored in your session. Mac, Windows, and iOS Compatibility In addition to being compatible with Mac and Windows computers, the EVO 4 audio interface can be used with your iPad or iPhone. To use EVO 4 with an iPad Pro that has a USB Type-C port, simply connect it using a USB Type-C cable (available separately). The USB Type-C port on the iPad Pro will provide full USB bus power, so you do not need an external power source. In order to connect the EVO 4 to an iOS device equipped with a Lightning port, you will need an Apple Camera Connection Kit and an active USB hub (both available separately). The active USB hub is required as the Lightning port cannot provide enough bus power for the EVO 4 to work correctly, and the hub will provide the correct power via the USB cable. Bundled Software Compatible with all major audio software and plug-ins, the EVO 4 comes bundled with a collection of professional software, giving you everything you need to start recording.
