Evermix Box5 – DJ Recording & Livestream Audio Interface
The Evermix Box5 is a compact, laptop-free audio interface built specifically for DJs who want to record and livestream professional-quality sets directly from their mixer to a smartphone or tablet. Connecting via USB-C (or Lightning with the optional cable), it captures 24-bit lossless WAV audio at 44.1kHz and pairs with the free Evermix Pro App to publish directly to SoundCloud, Mixcloud and other platforms, no computer required. Whether you're recording a club set, building a DJ portfolio or streaming live to YouTube or Twitch, the Box5 handles it all from a pocket-sized, aircraft-grade aluminium chassis weighing just 90g.
Staff Take: The Expert Verdict
The EvermixBox5 is the most reliable "plug-and-forget" solution we've tested for capturing high-quality audio in a loud booth. The massive +16dB boost in dynamic range is the real hero here; it's incredibly forgiving, meaning you won't ruin a headline set with digital clipping even if the mixer levels get a bit "enthusiastic." For DJs who prioritize social content and quick uploads without lugging a laptop around, this is an essential bit of kit.

Who Is the Evermix Box5 For?
The Box5 is aimed at working and aspiring DJs who take their content seriously but don't want the hassle of a laptop setup. If you play out regularly and want every set documented in broadcast-quality audio, this is your best option at this price point. It's equally at home being used by bedroom DJs building a SoundCloud following as it is by professional DJs recording at clubs and festivals. The crowd microphone input with 3V phantom power makes it particularly well suited to DJs who want that authentic "live" feel in their recordings, capturing the energy of the room alongside the mix, not just the sterile output from the booth.
It also appeals strongly to DJ content creators who post to Instagram Reels, TikTok or YouTube, thanks to the real-time video sync built into the Evermix Pro App, which eliminates the need for any manual audio-video alignment in post-production.
Evermix Box5 vs Box4 — What's Changed?
The Box5 represents a significant upgrade over its predecessor in the areas that matter most for professional use. The headline improvement is the jump to a +26dBu maximum input level, a substantial increase in dynamic range that makes it far more tolerant of the hot signal levels found on professional club mixers like the Pioneer DJM-900NXS2 or Allen & Heath Xone range. On the Box4, aggressive mixer gain staging could result in digital clipping; the Box5 largely eliminates that problem.
The internal circuitry has also been redesigned with a higher-performance DAC that delivers a quieter noise floor, making the Box5 suitable for recording environments where background noise is a concern. The Evermix Pro App integration has been expanded with additional editing tools including gain normalisation and parametric EQ, meaning you can polish a recording before publishing without needing a separate DAW. If you already own a Box4 and record at professional venues, upgrading to the Box5 is a worthwhile investment.
How to Set Up the Evermix Box5
Getting up and running with the Box5 takes less than two minutes:
- Connect the included RCA-to-RCA phono cable from your DJ mixer's record output (or booth output) to the Box5's stereo RCA input.
- Plug the included DIN to USB-C cable from the Box5 into your iPhone or Android device. If you use an iPhone with a Lightning connector, you'll need the optional DIN to Lightning cable, sold separately.
- Download the free Evermix Pro App from the App Store or Google Play.
- Open the app — it will detect the Box5 automatically. Set your gain level using the in-app meters, aiming to keep peaks comfortably below 0dBFS.
- If you want to capture crowd ambience, plug an electret microphone into the 3.5mm input on the Box5 and balance the mic level within the app.
- Hit record (or go live) — the app handles everything from there, including video sync if you're filming at the same time.
The Box5 can also charge your device while it records, via the pass-through charging port, so battery drain during a long set isn't a concern.
