PreSonus launches the ioStation 24c
PreSonus has launched the ioStation 24c, a two-channel 192kHz audio interface combined with the functionality of the FaderPort USB production controller to provide a holistic production hub. A keyboard and mouse handle the tasks they are better suited to, while the ioStation 24c handles the mix.
The ioStation 24c provides 100mm touch-sensitive, motorised fader transport controls as well as the Session Navigator section, which provides access to eight mission-critical functions. The ioStation 24c audio interface features two of PreSonus’ XMAX Class-A analogue microphones. High-quality converters provide 115dB of dynamic range to capture complex musical harmonics naturally. The result, according to the manufacturer, is clear, consistent audio that makes mixing easier and creates a polished sound and a faster process.
Meeting the recent demand for microphones that can be used at home for webcasting, meetings, podcasting or general home studio use, PreSonus has also announced a new entry in the USB microphone category. Revelator is a new bus-powered, USB-C-compatible microphone outfitted with presets, loopback audio and selectable polar patterns.
Revelator is equipped with the same EQ and compression algorithms found in company’s StudioLive Series III mixers. Eight user presets are provided to customise sound using the StudioLive Fat Channel controls available in Universal Control. Up to four presets can be stored, quickly selectable via the Preset button. The mic also provides two stereo streams for loopback audio for applications such as video conferencing, recording gameplay or showcasing the audio in a YouTube video while adding commentary. Two streams for loopback audio allow users to mix and record the audio from two different applications on a computer, along with their voice, at the same time using the interface in Universal Control. Built-in monitoring and an on-board headphone amplifier facilitate mixing in real time.
Last but not least, PreSonus has launched Sphere, a new membership package that includes licences for the complete collection of PreSonus’ software solutions for recording, mixing, scoring and producing. It includes Studio One Professional, Notion, every single PreSonus add-on for both applications, plus additional sample and loop libraries. In addition to these tools, PreSonus Sphere members are also given cloud collaboration tools and storage, the ability to chat with Studio One experts from around the globe, access to exclusive livestreams, masterclass videos, promotions, sneak peeks and events.
