However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The EVO by Audient EVO 16 & EVO SP8 Recording Bundle is a powerful studio system bundle that gives you 16 channels of Smartgain-enabled mic preamps - the perfect centrepiece for any professional studio setup. The bundle also includes a premium-grade optical cable for linking the preamp and the audio interface together.
Product Ref: 250615
One of the most unique and groundbreaking features of the preamp is "Smartgain Mode". Once you start playing or singing with Smartgain Mode, the preamp will automatically adjust the levels of your microphones, so you can avoid clipping and distortion. Utilising advanced peak analysis technology, Smartgain will automatically analyse and adjust your gain to the perfect level in less than 20 seconds. It will even match and adjust the gain for all the channels at the same time, making large recording projects easier than ever before.
Audio preamps have EVOlved. The EVO SP8 employs its own custom microphone preamps. The EVO circuits are specially-designed, delivering pristine sound with incredible warmth and accuracy. It provides you with 58dB of gain range, allowing you to record everything from loud vocals to softer-sounding instruments. The class-leading converters deliver a dynamic range of 112.5dB (analog to digital), with ultra-low latency performance.
The future-proof design includes a range of digital connections, providing two optical inputs and two optical outputs featuring ADAT connectivity. This makes it easy to send audio from your preamps to your host audio interface, as well as receive up to eight channels. When used at 44.1/48kHz, the SP8 requires just a single optical port for all eight channels while the second ports act as a duplicate/split. When used at 88.2/96kHz, both optical ports are required to access all eight channels. The SP8 also features a word clock input and eight dedicated line-level outputs located on the rear of the unit.
Building on the success of its siblings; the EVO SP8 introduces the newly developed ‘Motion’ UI system. The intuitive user preamp has been specifically designed to optimise the way you interact with your preamp. At the heart of the Motion UI is a TFT backlit LCD screen with provides a crisp, high-resolution display. Utilising cutting-edge IPS technology, the EVO SP8’s information remains legible on the screen no matter where you view the screen from.
The high-res display provides information on 'Channel Status' as well as providing full-colour metering for all your inputs and outputs. Providing instant visual feedback allows you to monitor your levels at a glance and helps to keep your workflow in motion. Controlling the preamp is made simple thanks to the simple ‘one-knob’ design. The single-knob control allows you to cycle through hardware features from a single point for ease of use.
Record instruments and vocals with ease. With the onboard JFET instrument inputs, you can plug your guitar or bass directly into the preamp. The SP8 also incorporates +48v Phantom Power so you can use studio-grade condenser microphones. The integrated Phantom Power is also switchable, allowing you to individually turn it on/off for each of the channels.
Designed as the predecessor to the SP8, the EVO 16 features all the same functions and features of the SP8 in an audio interface format. The EVO 16 employs its the same custom microphone preamps found in the SP8. The eight EVO preamps are specially-designed for this interface, providing pristine sound with incredible warmth and accuracy. The EVO 16 also features loopback functionality as well as ultra-low latency mixer software for added flexibility.
The onboard Monitor Mix button allows you to make recordings effortlessly. The ultra-low latency technology means you can monitor your audio sources with extreme accuracy, allowing you to make informed decisions about your recording options. It also features a Loopback function, which allows you to record your computer audio at the same time as your microphones. This can be highly useful for podcasting and live-streaming.
The compact and portable design make the EVO perfect for musicians on the move. Whether you’re recording vocals for your latest song or podcasting with friends on the go, the EVO is the perfect choice. The EVO interface comes complete with a professional software bundle including premium-grade plugins to get you started straight out of the box. It even features Cubase LE - a streamlined version of the award-winning digital audio workstation providing everything you need to make and record music.
This AV:Link Toslink Optical Cable is designed for high-performance optical digital transmission for audio equipment. This is ideal for connecting TVs to soundbars, but can also be used with Games Console, PCs, media players and more. It uses standard TOSlink connectors with gold-plated tips and is one metre in length. For this bundle, the optical cable is designed to link the SP8 and the EVO 16 units.
