No-fuss loopback audio when you need it

Revelator io24’s simple loopback mixer makes it easy to add backing tracks to your live stream performance or conference in a Zoom caller to your podcast. With two dedicated stereo channels just for loopback audio on both macOS ®and Windows®, you’ll mix and record the audio from two different applications, along with both channels of your Revelator io24—all at the same time. Stream and record to Studio One® (or your application of choice) simultaneously!

Livestream mixing, simplified

Only Revelator io24 is both an audio interface and a streaming mixer. Out of the box, Revelator io24 is a great sounding audio interface with powerful onboard DSP (digital signal processing). When you’re ready to stream, simply create a mix using one of the dedicated Stream Mix outputs and select it as the source in your favorite streaming software. Your analog inputs, loopback channels, reverb, and effects will be routed directly to your stream, with no complex routing or extra hardware required.

Great sound made easy

Polish your sound with dedicated onboard processing featuring the same State-Space Modeled sonic enhancements as our award-winning StudioLive® Series III mixers. Professionally crafted presets make your voice or guitar stand out with a single click. Additional effects let you emulate concert halls, AM radio, or Venusian armadas to completely transform your sound.

Proven, professional preamps

More than 25 years of studio-grade design experience is inside Revelator io24. Two XMAX-L mic preamps capture even the most complex musical harmonics smoothly and naturally, with no audible distortion, so your microphones will sound their best. Instrument and line inputs let you connect all of your gear. A Stereo Link option provides even more flexibility.

Wherever sound takes you

Want to take your sound with you on a gig or go mobile with an SD recorder or just your camera? No problem. Just save your favorite presets onboard your Revelator, and you can use its preamps and your customized settings just like you would on your computer. Because the processing is built into the Revelator io24, you’ll have your presets wherever sound takes you.

Remote control

Wireless remote control via UC Surface for iPadOS®, Windows®, and Android™ devices means you get touchscreen control over all of your Revelator io24’s features. Your processing and loopback mixes are at your fingertips. Just connect your favorite tablet to the same network as your computer, and you’re good to go!

Stress-free recording

When you have the right tools, any job is faster and easier to finish. That’s why we included high-resolution input and output metering on the Revelator io24, allowing you to keep an eye on your input and mix levels when you’re recording by yourself.

Monitoring and MIDI

Revelator io24’s easy-to-use mixer also lets you create a custom zero-latency monitor mix fast. Independent levels for the Headphone and Main outputs (plus a Mute option for the latter) make it easy to switch between mixing on studio speakers and monitoring on headphones. You can even create a separate mix just for your headphones! MIDI In and Out ports let you connect MIDI controllers and external hardware synthesizers and drum machines.

Tools that grow with you

We've included our Studio One® Artist production and recording software, which makes it easy to polish your recordings with its lightning-fast drag-and-drop workflow and full-featured production environment. Whether you’re recording a complete album or just adding bumpers to your podcasts, Revelator io24 and Studio One Artist give you everything you need to get professional results.

Make your own magic

At PreSonus, we want to make sure that our audio products come with everything you need to craft your own mesmerizing spells in the studio. That's why we include Studio One Artist with every audio interface and controller product we make, from the 2-channel AudioBox USB 96 to the 64-channel StudioLive 64S, ATOM to FaderPort 16, but we didn't stop there. Why? Because here in Louisiana, we have a word: lagniappe. It means "a little something extra," and it's in that spirit that we also include the Studio Magic Suite of software with our audio interface products and–new for 2021–our award-winning controllers as well.

The 2021 Studio Magic includes tutorials from Melodics, sound libraries from Ghost Hack, 7 virtual instruments, and 9 effects plug-ins in VST, AU, and AAX formats to use in Studio One Artist or your DAW of choice with a retail value of over $1000 (US).
