EVO SP8 has been designed to give your studio the efficiency and scalability it needs, providing you with eight EVO smart preamps, capable of adjusting their own levels thanks to Smartgain, and which are equipped with advanced AD/DA conversion technology and a wide variety of input and output connectivity. Added to all this are two JFET instrument inputs, the revolutionary new Motion UI control system, and exceptional sound quality at all points in the signal path. All of this leads us to affirm that it is the best intelligent microphone preamplifier in the world and the perfect complement to your audio interface. More complex sessions demand more channels, and expanding your current audio interface through ADAT may be the most cost-effective solution for sizing your studio. EVO SP8 provides eight mic/line inputs, eight line outputs and two ADAT connections, providing enough inputs and outputs to comfortably handle multi-mic sessions, such as recording drums, or recording a full band. The analogue preamplifier has been designed to provide the most accurate, clean and realistic version of the original audio signal, whatever that may be. It will always deliver professional studio-quality recordings, with 58 dB microphone gain, huge headroom, a fully balanced signal path, and ultra-low distortion and noise. EVO technology combines all the benefits of a studio-quality microphone preamplifier with digitally controlled tactile precision, allowing you to set gain with millimeter precision. It is possible to configure each channel independently, precisely match the level of the stereo pairs, and all this controlled from the software and with visual information in real time through the unit's screen. In the studio, sound quality defines everything, and the high-quality AD/DA converters that SP8 incorporates ensure maximum sound precision in any circumstance, both when recording music and when sending audio to external equipment for recording. processed and subsequently returned to the mix. And that's what the advanced conversion technology that SP8 offers. Smartgain makes recording complex drum kits and sessions much easier by automatically and simultaneously adjusting the gain for all eight channels with the touch of a button. Controlled by an ultra-fast algorithm, Smartgain uses advanced peak analysis to fully automatically analyze, adjust and set the gain to the perfect levels. All this in less than 20 seconds: work simultaneously on 8 microphones, save time, avoid saturation. Plus, if you work alone, it will become your perfect assistant.It is also possible to interconnect two EVP SP8 units with an EVO 16 audio interface to obtain 24 preamplification channels equipped with Smartgain. The new Motion User Interface allows you to navigate through the hardware functions offered by SP8 at breakneck speed. For the first time, a stunning high-resolution full-color display intelligently displays the information you need, transforming EVO SP8 into a fully immersive and easy-to-use smart preamplifier. Every setting, every detail, every button press is clearly displayed on the backlit TFT LCD screen that gives you real-time visual feedback, allowing you to make changes on the fly and take complete control of EVO SP8 without even needing to look at the computer screen. In addition, IPS technology allows you to clearly view information on the screen, regardless of the viewing angle. Momentarily pressing an input button displays the channel name, its levels, and the functions activated for that specific channel, placing all the necessary information in one place. SP8's clear color measurement system allows all input levels to be checked cyclically. The unit's control system, based on a single control, allows you to scroll through all the functions offered by SP8 from a centralized point, greatly simplifying adjustment and control tasks. It also has 2 instrument inputs that allow recording guitars with a powerful sound. Equipped with harmonically rich JFET circuitry, this input circuit has been designed to replicate the classic input stage of a tube amplifier, providing a solid sonic foundation before reaching the guitar simulators. SP8 has been designed to be installed in a rack or in desktop mode. Rack-mount ears are optionally available. Its bright LED lighting ensures clear visibility even in the darkest environments, while its solid steel chassis ensures complete reliability both in the studio and on tour. EVO SP8 is compatible with most software packages and audio plug-ins. It includes an extensive collection of professional recording software including Cubase LE, providing everything you need to get started right away. To minimize its environmental impact, the EVO SP8 packaging system uses recycled materials and keeps plastic use to a minimum.transforming EVO SP8 into a fully immersive and easy-to-use smart preamp.
