At a Glance
Where each one actually leads
Every axis is scored out of 10 from the catalog specs below. The scores are relative to the products on this page, so a 10 means “best of these”, not “perfect”, and two identical columns mean the catalog genuinely cannot separate them. Axes the catalog holds no figure for on both sides are left off entirely rather than guessed at.

The Split
What each one wins
Audient EVO 4
Compact 2-in/2-out USB-C interface with Smartgain and clean preamps for creators and podcasters.
It gives up ADAT expansion and headphone outputs to the Audient iD24. It is the cheaper of the two, by $270.00.
Leads on
- Nothing on the spec sheet goes this one’s way.
Audient iD24
Pro-level USB-C audio interface with strong preamps, monitor control, and expandable I/O.
On paper the Audient iD24 takes ADAT expansion (Yes), headphone outputs (2, +1), TRS outputs (4, +2) and preamp gain (68dB, +10dB). It also leads on dynamic range. It concedes nothing measurable on the sheet. That costs $270.00 more than the Audient EVO 4.
Leads on
-
ADAT ExpansionYesNo
ADAT lets you add eight more inputs later instead of replacing the interface.
-
Headphone Outputs +121
A second headphone output lets a guest monitor without a splitter.
-
TRS Outputs +242
More TRS outputs allow routing to studio monitors and outboard gear.
-
Preamp Gain +10dB68dB58dB
More gain drives quiet dynamic microphones like the SM7B without a separate booster.
-
Dynamic Range +9dB122dB113dB
Wider converter dynamic range means less noise between the quietest and loudest parts of a take.
