All eight XLR-1/4" combo inputs can accept mic- or line-level signal, and the front-panel input jacks can also accommodate Hi-Z instrument outputs, letting you plug a guitar or a bass directly into the EVO SP8. Pads on every channel allow you to capture the sound of high-level sound sources, such as drums and cranked guitar amps, and 48V phantom power can be individually instantiated to run condenser microphones and active DI boxes.
These features, combined with the wordclock sync input and color LCD with metering, render the unit quite suitable for use in the studio. But that's only one of its intended uses: the SP8 also operates well in live sound environments, providing eight additional preamps for the stage, all feeding their respective line outputs, so they can feed a multitude of mixers, consoles, and PAs. You can even route the line outputs to a console while simultaneously recording digitally via the ADAT outputs.
Unleash Smartgain’s capabilities by pairing two EVO SP8s with an EVO 16 audio interface and get 24 channels of Smartgain enabled mic preamps. Yes, with an EVO Expanded system that’s 24 channels at once.
Every adjustment, every detail, every button press is beautifully displayed on a TFT backlit LCD screen, giving you real-time visual feedback of your audio and letting you make changes on the fly and take complete control of the SP8 without ever having to look at a computer.
IPS technology ensures the information on the screen is visible at any viewing angle, making it well suited for a wide variety of setups.
Pressing a channel button momentarily displays the channel name, the levels, and the functions activated for that specific channel. All the pertinent information is right in one place.
Keep an eye on your levels by quickly cycling through your input levels with EVO SP8's crystal-clear, full-color metering.
Designed to keep your session in motion, One-Knob-Control lets you glide through the hardware features from a single centralized point.
To build a monster guitar sound, you need the right foundation. The harmonically rich JFET instrument input circuit is designed to replicate the input stage of a classic valve amplifier, providing an ideal sonic foundation before you hit your guitar sims.
Pair channels together and make adjustments simultaneously.
Eight balanced line-level outputs, sourced directly from the analog inputs or from the digital ADAT inputs, allow the EVO SP8 to be used in a live situation whilst capturing the recording via the digital ADAT output.
The rear panel offers a BNC jack for word clock input, enabling proper synchronization with other digital equipment, such as a mixing console or an audio interface.
SP8 has been meticulously designed to look amazing on both your desktop and in your rack. Super bright backlit LED lighting not only looks stunning, but ensures visibility in the darkest of studios, whilst a solid steel chassis ensures the EVO SP8 is up to the challenges of daily use in the studio and on the road.
Rack ears are available separately.
