The Korena take

EVO 8 is a desktop 4x4 USB-C interface for getting microphones and instruments into a computer without adding a separate power supply. Its four EVO preamps provide 58 dB of gain, while Smartgain can set levels from your playing or singing and match gain across channels. The volume encoder handles speaker, headphone, and channel control, and the EVO mixer adds routing, low-latency monitoring, level balancing, phantom-power control, and dedicated artist headphone mixes.
