PreSonus is shipping the new Revelator io24 USB-C audio interface, which integrates high-headroom mic preamps, a two-channel loopback mixer, and extensive processing designed to deliver polished, professional-sounding results for streaming, podcasting, and music production. Revelator io24 is uniquely designed for both recording and streaming. Its mixer allows users to record Zoom calls or Skype interviews and add backing tracks and sound effects for podcasts, live stream performances, music production, etc. Using Engage Stream Mix mode complete mix–analog inputs, loopback channels, reverb, and effects–are routed to the USB output. From there, users can send it to their streaming software.
Revelator io24 features two analog mic/instrument/line inputs with PreSonus’ professional-grade XMAX-L microphone preamps which can be stereo linked. It also features two balanced 1/4-inch line outputs, a high-powered headphone output, professional metering, and zero-latency monitoring. Users can record up to 24-bit, 96 kHz audio to the included Studio One Artist or other recording and production software.
The Revelator io24’s simple loopback mixer allows users to add backing tracks to live stream performances or conference in a Zoom caller to a podcast. With two dedicated stereo channels for loopback audio on macOS or Windows, users can simultaneously mix and record the audio from two different applications, along with the two analog input channels. Also, remote-control mixes, processing, and routing are possible using PreSonus’ Universal Control software for macOS, Windows, iPad, and Android tablets. Stream Mix mode turns Revelator io24 into a compact streaming mixer.
Users can process each input channel using PreSonus’ Fat Channel DSP, which provides a high-pass filter, 4-band parametric EQ, compressor, gate, and limiter. Effects are added by applying the detuner, vocoder, ring modulator, filters, delay and a dedicated reverb bus.
Revelator io24 locally stores two presets per channel, and eight more factory presets can be loaded from Universal Control for processing. But the Fat Channel processing also is fully editable, to create presets. Presets are available for each processor to make customized channel settings. Revelator io24’s compressor and EQ models launch Advanced mode to expose a fully editable Fat Channel, complete with State-Space-modeled vintage processors.
Revelator io24 comes with Studio One Artist and the Studio Magic Suite software, which includes Ableton Live Lite, a collection of virtual instruments and effects plug-ins, and more. Revelator io24 is available immediately for a U.S. street price of $199.95. For more information, visit www.presonus.com/products/Revelator-io24.
