A compact 2-in/2-out interface that is fully USB-C bus-powered and works from either a USB-A or USB-C host port. Two combo XLR/TRS inputs feed the mic preamps, with a dedicated front 1/4-inch JFET instrument DI for guitar or bass. Monitoring runs through two balanced 1/4-inch outputs and a 1/4-inch headphone jack rated to drive 600-ohm headphones. The interface communicates over USB 2.0 and carries no MIDI ports.

Notes & Compatibility
Compact 2-in/2-out USB-C interface, fully bus-powered (works from USB-A or USB-C host ports). Includes the Smart Gain auto-level feature. The headphone output is 1/4-inch (not 3.5mm), confirmed via spec listings. No MIDI. Plug headphones in and the monitor outputs mute themselves — Audient calls it smart-muting, and it means you cannot run speakers and cans at the same time (the EVO 8 can). Audio loopback is built in for streaming and lives in Audient’s mixer software, so it needs no extra cable and no second interface.
