Professional microphones deserve professional amplification

25 years of studio-grade design experience is inside Revelator io44. Your XLR microphones will sound their best thanks to the PreSonus XMAX-L mic preamp with plenty of gain for your professional microphone to capture your voice smoothly, naturally, and distortion-free — and the onboard processing will make your voice stand out. Whether you're recording a vocal or chatting with your followers during a livestream, you’ll be heard loud and clear.

Powerful onboard processing

Revelator io44’s onboard processing lets you polish your recordings and streams with one-click ease, thanks to masterfully crafted presets that give you a professional sound with no expertise required. You’ll also find tools to emulate concert hall reverb, AM radio, or otherworldly invaders to completely transform your sound — and of course, you can create and store your own custom presets for later use. And best of all, this processing happens on the Revelator io44 itself so your customized sound is available whether you connect Revelator io44 to your computer, your tablet, or your phone and won’t use up valuable computer resources when recording or streaming.

Grab audio from anywhere

Revelator io44 features an easy-to-use mixer that lets you blend audio from up to three different applications at once, so you can add backing tracks, Skype calls, and even gameplay quickly and easily — without taxing your computer. An automatic output limiter prevents your stream from distorting. Whether you’re on macOS or Windows, you can create custom mixes of your inputs and your applications and monitor it all at near-zero latency so you can stream and record simultaneously!

Remote control

Wireless remote control via UC Surface for iPadOS®, Windows®, and Android™ devices means you get touchscreen control over all of your Revelator io44’s features, processing, and mixer features at your fingertips, without having to click away from your stream. Just connect your favorite tablet to the same network as your computer and you’re good to go!

Complete music production software included

The Revelator io44 includes both Studio One Artist production and recording software and the Studio Magic software bundle. Studio One makes it easy to polish your recordings with its lightning-fast drag-and-drop workflow and fully-featured production environment. Studio Magic expands your palette with instruments, plug-ins, and more so you’re ready to hit record right from the start.

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).
