Overview 

The Evo 4 Loopback Kit includes the parts needed for recording Windows communication software, such 
as a Zoom online conference IP telephone “softphone”. Included in the kit are: 
 

-

 

Audient Evo 4 USB audio interface mixer (2 channels)

Samson C02 microphone and desk stand 

-

 

Computer audio output cable

USB Interface 

The Audient Evo 4 interface requires a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 connection. The Evo 4 should be connected 
directly to a port on the computer or a manufacturer supplied docking station. Connecting it to a USB hub 
may result in unreliable operation. 

Power Connection 

The Evo 4 is powered from the USB Port and does not require the use of a power adapter. 
 

Audio Connections 

The included microphone is connected to the Evo 4 microphone input #1 using the included standard 
XLR microphone cable. This microphone is used to record the local participant in SoniClear and can also 
be configured as the microphone for the communications software. 
 
The speaker or headphone output of the computer is connected to the Evo 4 microphone input #2 using 
the ¼” to 3.5 mm audio cable included in the kit. Note that this cable is plugged into the ¼” part of the 
“combo” input connector on the back of the Evo 4. 
 
The supplied monitoring headphone is plugged into the front of the Evo 4 adapter using the supplied ¼” 
adapter. Any standard headphone can be used for monitoring, as well.
