Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Audient EVO 4 is a 2 in / 2 out USB audio interface at £89, listed with two microphone preamps, 48 Volt phantom power, a Smartgain function and a loopback function. It sits at number 7 in this guide of 15, with a 4.3 rating from 1,639 Amazon ratings.
Where this listing is unusually tidy is the sample rate: the Maximum Sample Rate field and the Frequency Response field both read 96 KHz, and that matches the 24 bit / 44.1–96 kHz in the product description. That is not a given here — the Focusrite and Behringer entries further up the guide print two different figures for those same two fields. Where the EVO 4 falls apart is weight: the specification table gives 600 g, while the box contents line in the very same listing gives 360 g. The listing does not explain the gap. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as it appears, not from any bench test of ours.

Questions people ask
Does the Audient EVO 4 weigh 600 g or 360 g?
The listing carries both figures. The specification table says 600 g; the box contents line in the same listing says 360 g. Nothing in the listing explains the difference, so treat either number with caution.
What sample rate does the Audient EVO 4 support?
The listing says 24 bit, 44.1 to 96 kHz in the description, and both the Maximum Sample Rate and Frequency Response fields read 96 KHz. Unlike some interfaces in this guide, those fields agree with each other.
How much gain do the microphone preamps offer?
The listing states 2 microphone preamplifiers with 58 dB gain, and a 113 dB dynamic range across the AD/DA converters.
How many inputs and outputs does the Audient EVO 4 have?
It is described as a 2 in / 2 out USB audio interface, and the Number of Channels field reads 2. The 2 combined mic/line inputs use XLR/jack combo connectors, plus a discrete JFET instrument input.
How is the Audient EVO 4 powered?
Over USB-C, with 48 Volt phantom power that the listing says works "also for bus operation". It is listed as Class Compliant for Mac, Windows (7/8/10) and iOS.
What software comes with the Audient EVO 4?
The listing mentions an Audient ARC download package and a DSP-based low latency software mixer with a flexible routing matrix. Its Supported Software field says the bundled software is compatible with iOS, Mac and Windows but does not name specific DAWs or plug-ins.
