Pretty wild price for these high quality PreSonus audio interfaces. Currently own an older PreSonus 68 interface and it works super well. Very well known brand with quality preamps and relatively high gain (60db) in comparison to other brands like Focusrite (56db). Adding this to my collection as a small, portable, USB powered interface, but unfortunately not enough gain to fully replace my old interface (80db) and smoothly run my SM7b. Apparently also useful for streamers but I haven't looked into these features.

    That is insane value for the price. I have a bunch of Presonus stuff including a Quantum 2626 and the IOStation 24c that I just use as a faderport. It's all really good gear, no complaints at all. Worth buying for the plugin bundle alone at $99 bucks.

      Yeah, the price is insane. Super happy with my io44.

  • kevitkotw on 15/07/2024 - 12:46

    Just trying to wrap my head around its use, hoping you can tell me if I'm understanding this correctly…

    My 2 kids are quite musically talented. If they wanted to record vocals or guitar/piano/something with an output that can connect to this, this would interface between the PC (Ipad too?) and their instrument/microphone?

    Currently we don't have anything more than an Ipad and Garage Band plus phones.

    Is this a good bang for buck option or is there a better way? At this stage it would just be recording their performance at home

    Thanks for your input/advice!

      If you have a microphone with an XLR input (most good microphones), you need an audio interface to connect it to a computer for recording. If you have a USB microphone, then an audio interface is not required. This will be useful for recording with XLR microphones and guitars, but for a piano you are probably better off plugging in directly with USB and recording MIDI. If you need an interface, this is a very cheap price for a good quality brand.

        This will be useful for recording with XLR microphones and guitars, but for a piano you are probably better off plugging in directly with USB and recording MIDI.

        You'd just end up with MIDI data though; if you just want to record the piano's audio and not have to bother with having the same samples on a desktop, this can record the piano's audio output fine.

      io24 for instrument & vocal at once. Will only do 2 separate balanced inputs at once though. You'd need to go up to a larger, more expensive device for both playing and singing at once.

      The io44 is more for steamers/gamers but has a single balanced input. You could go for another mic with a DI box and push it out into the line input of the io44 too. You'd almost need a smaller mixer for that and at that point you'd just use the mixer for everything.

  • dosada on 15/07/2024 - 12:46

    Can I use them somehow to connect edifier speakers to a pc?

    • clubhonda on 15/07/2024 - 12:53

      What's wrong with connecting directly?

    • SaddenAscentAspirin on 15/07/2024 - 13:06

      Technically probably, but this isn't designed for that. Depending on which speakers you have, you either just need an adapter, or you need an amp, or dac/amp.

      • dosada on 15/07/2024 - 13:19

        My bad. Didn't read enough. Thought this is an amp/dac

        • Monsta-AU on 15/07/2024 - 15:35

          It is a DAC & Amp. It's similar to a Schitt Hel, but with balanced 6.5mm outputs instead of 3.5mm TRS (aka mini headphone) line out. You just add an extra Balanced input plus you can set the headset & balanced input on the device (and through the software).

          I had a bad ground loop causing noise between the PC, Hel and new Eris Studio 5 studio monitor speakers. Replaced my Hel with this and since it is balanced output, the group loop went away. My monitors are very happy now (and bloody loud!).

          I like that it is 3.5mm TRRS for headsets, but your can independently control the speakers and the headset volume with this. It's not quite as simple as the Hel but much better.

          I got it at this price last month, the 44 is a steal for gamers/streamers who would like the option of a better mic with XLR input but can also use a gaming headset (PC38x work awesome), plus really good speakers like the Eris Studios (or JBL/KRK/Yamaha). 100% recommended.

          The 24 is more for those that already have separate XLR mic and happy to trade the headset input for another balanced input (mic for a podcast, or instrument input).

  • billybob2015 on 15/07/2024 - 13:01

    which one would be better for recording guitar?

    • lars06 on 15/07/2024 - 13:04

      They're basically the same I think. After looking into it, the trade off seems to be size vs inputs. Do you need more than one thing plugged in at a time? I picked the smaller io44 since I knew I don't need more than one input at a time.

    • Monsta-AU on 15/07/2024 - 15:43

      If you want a mic to sing while playing, the 24.

      If just recording an instrument, the 44 is great and you can game with it as well.

    • ferguson on 15/07/2024 - 21:23

      Get the twin input.

      That second input can be used to double-mic the single instrument in different places, another instrument, or for vocals.

  • ssd01 on 15/07/2024 - 13:05

    Hi OP,
    can you connect guitar input to this ?

    • lars06 on 15/07/2024 - 13:06

      Yes you should be able to as it just has a regular line input. But definitely check for your own instrument.

      What's the difference between the Revelator Dynamic and Revelator Pro? They seem very similar. The latter has different pickup patterns and looks like it could be a condenser. Apart from that I wonder which one is "better" (I know, I know, it's subjective…).

  • AutomationGuy on 15/07/2024 - 13:26

    Not knocking on this, but as a fairly simple / budget solution with high gain I went with the Elgato Wave XLR (listed as 75dB) to run a SM7B and haven't had any issues.

    I have hifi amp for my headphones but when I use my mic phone in discord I wish I can monitor my voice so I know how loud I am speaking. Is there a way to do this ? Essentially need to combine the monitor output from an audio interface like this one with the hifi amp output while not losing audio quality . I have yet to see a solution

    • illogicalerror on 15/07/2024 - 15:44

      You need an analogue mixer, then you make each channel as loud/soft as you want.

    • Monsta-AU on 15/07/2024 - 16:03

      You want a DAC/Amp that does 'sidetone' or 'passthrough', in that it mixes your mic into the headphones.

      The answer will depend on what headphones & microphone you have, and what the rest of your setup looks like. If you are just using a headset, then almost any of the 'gaming' DAC amps will have it (EPOS GSX300/1000, Creative X3/X4/X5 etc). The Schitt Hel does not have this.

      If you have high-end headphones then you might be out of luck since you want something with a bit of oomph.

  • dumbass777 on 15/07/2024 - 14:02

    Can I use the Audio output from this into Sonos Audio. I have a Premium Immersive Set with Arc from Sonos and realised it after buying that you can't play music from Android in Sonos and it is pretty much locked to IOS.

    I need to set up a Karoake and have a USB and XLR microphone, which I could pair with PreSonus Revelator io44. But I want this to play on my Sonos Arc,

      Eh, you can just get one from Amazon or import for like $170 shipped if you particularly still wanted one right now, good for a first interface at $100 new compared to others at the price point, but in the sub $300 range it wouldn't be one of my top choices. tl;dr don't feel too bad, it's not much money in the context of audio, plus now you have an excuse to get yourself something better on your own terms, lol.

      • JOZL on 16/07/2024 - 19:11

        Lol thanks. Nice thoughts. I always get hit with GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) and FOMO every time there is a major sale. At the end though, i think its better to invest in the musicianship rather than the gear.

    There was plenty of stock at the time I ordered. I got in very quickly at the time this deal was posted.

    They sent me an email this morning that left me feeling crap. It takes alot to send me to google to write negative reviews. They were disinterested in trying to make it right.

    Copy of the review below because I'm feeling horrible:

    Came across a great deal on a Prosonus item and excitedly bought it along with a decent mic for my children.

    I told them about it yesterday after I received the confirmation email 2 days ago, we had an amazing chat about how we could use the equipment in their music journey.

    This morning I received an email, where I was told I bought an item that was listed as out of stock on the website. This was downright rude as I specifically checked stock levels before purchasing.

    Speculation, but I think they realised they could sell their product at the price listed from their shop, without having to incur the cost of the free shipping on my order.

    They offered a different (vastly inferior) alternative for the same price.

    Now I have the pleasure of informing my kids that the items we were excited about are no longer coming 😢 Letting my kids down is one of the worst feelings, regardless of whether it's my fault.

    I don't write negative reviews often. A suggestion I'd put forward… if you screw a customer around, try and make it right with something more than a mildly insulting "offer". I feel gross, thanks.
