![]() ![]() Pressing the dial on the home screen cycles its function through Monitor volume, Headphone volume, and Input/Output Mix. The blue glow around the dial lends it a smart aesthetic while the backlit rubber buttons are great for dimly lit studios. Having a built-in colour screen and rotary push-knob is a luxury on an interface of this size. More on that soon, but first let’s take a tour of the device itself.įront panel control on the Revelator io24 is elegant and functional. Loopback routing is handled by the DSP chip, not the driver, meaning it costs nothing to your CPU and it’ll work exactly the same across Mac and PC systems. Revelator io24’s loopback functionality is central to the product’s MO. Loopback inputs aren’t anything new, but on a small interface they’re rarely more than a mere stereo channel. To be able to record this signal means turning it around and back into the interface’s routing matrix as an input. The internal routing structures of most interfaces will have any audio originating from within your computer headed in the direction of a physical output like your monitors or headphones. If you’ve ever tried to record an application like Zoom, iTunes or a video game to a DAW, you’ll know it’s not as simple as it seems. With the rise of live streaming, podcasting and Twitching, you can understand why loopback inputs are necessary to turn audio from a video call or game or browser into a recordable, routable input. By way of a DSP chip, PreSonus has loaded Revelator io24 with the same Fat Channel processing found in StudioLive consoles – and it significantly opens up the unit’s breadth of functionality. The focus of Revelator io24’s software control extends beyond getting audio in and out of the interface to ferrying audio streams internally between different applications.īuilt-in DSP is another distinguishing feature, although not uncommon among interfaces nowadays. ![]() Most recording interfaces will come with routing software to control the interface and create custom mixes for real-time headphone monitoring or sending audio out and in through physical I/O. The difference lies underneath the unassuming exterior. You may ask, what distinguishes a podcasting or live streaming interface from any other two-input box? Connectivity credentials are modest, with two analogue mic/line/instrument inputs, a headphone output, a pair of monitor outs, and MIDI I/O.īut PreSonus is touting the Revelator io24 as a ‘first of its kind’ because it’s designed with a very specific focus on podcasting and live streaming. The Revelator io24 looks mostly the same as any other budget bus-powered USB interface. You’d be forgiven if, at first glance, you didn’t think PreSonus’s new audio interface screams ‘innovation’. ![]()
