HARDWARE FEATURES
HARDWARE HARDWARE
EVO 8 includes four high-quality Mic Preamps, available through the four
Combi connections found on the rear of EVO 8.
To connect a microphone, use an XLR cable which has three pins.
Mic Pre’s and Line Level Inputs
To connect a line-level device, use a ¼” TRS jack, which will connect to the
centre of the Combi connector. The Line input automatically reduces your
signal level slightly to minimise the chance of overloading the input and
causing distortion.
EVO 8 can lower the signal level by 4 decibels and boost it by up to 48
decibels allowing you to get the perfect recording level, this is known as the
Gain.
You can manually control this by pressing one of the Input buttons and then
turning the Volume Knob. The meters will light up to show you the
approximate gain level.
However, EVO 8’s Smartgain feature can help you take the guesswork out of
setting your Gain levels and give you perfect levels quickly and easily.
