    Great video Ed. Buying the EVO 16 was one of the best decisions I made with an Audio Interface. It is a great piece of kit and the preamps are up there with the most expensive ones out there. It is nice to see the SP8 being released and I'll be adding that to the collection soon

    Works absolutely perfect with my RME babyface too, the sp8. Conversion is great too. In a blind test I can't pick them out vs the rme in a loopback test.

    • @EdThorne
      @EdThorne  ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh, that’s interesting. RME have very loyal fans who usually smash everything else. Interesting to hear the SP8 competes from an RME user. Thanks for commenting 🙂🤘

    • @caspermaster-com
      @caspermaster-com ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah, audient is great. Technically the rme nulls better (quieter) in rellation to the source than this audient when testing, but listening blind I cant pick one out.

      @@caspermaster-com Also, the preamps on the SP8 can be bypassed, so it's a great companion to the BabyFace for connecting outboard gear via ADAT. I also have the BabyFace and plan on getting the SP8 if Perfect Circuit has a Memorial Day coupon and has it in stock.

      I had the same question, but bought one anyway and the preamp quality and converters sounded a lot like my Focusrite Scarlett that I use on tour. I thought it was going to be a cool I/0 expander, but it definitely didn’t match my Apollo converter quality and the difference was very obvious. If I was looking for an expanded live setup, or already had an audient interface, this would be perfect!

    Hi Ed. I’m currently running the sp8 through the adat out of my apollo x8p and i’m getting -8db difference in volume between the two when using my analog summing mixer and some hardware inserts. Is it possible to level match the two output without adding gain from the preamp of the audient sp8? Cheers!

    Have one question about ADAT connection, do one need to instal software of both interfaces on PC or just software of master interface, not the slave?

  • @ChopKnives

    Just wondering if using with an Apollo Twin, would everything be controlled via UAD console or would I use the Audient software?

    • @EdThorne
      @EdThorne  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      There is no software with the SP8. The software I demod in this video was the Evo Mixer App. The SP8 would be recognised by your Apollo and the 8 ADAT inputs will show up for mixing/processing in Console. The 8 outputs would be assignable in the Console I/O Matrix but the Twin doesn’t have ADAT out so these aren’t available to you.

  • @sonicbrush

    Hi there, could you re-amp (or route to analog gear) from DAW out through adat outputs through SP8 analog outputs? Much appreciated and great informative videos. Cheers!

    • @EdThorne
      @EdThorne  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The SP8 can be used as an ADAT output unit, yes, but you'd need another unit to take the returns. You can go directly out from the pres, but again, would need to be back into another interface.

    Hi. Quick question? I have apollo twin usb. I ordered evo sp8. I will get it soon. How can i connect to sp8 from my audio interface. What cables do i need? Trs to trs or Xlr to Trs? Which input, output to connect? Where can i connect my microphone on audio interface mic input or on sp8 mic input. Thanks.
