Microphone Inputs. Your Revelator io24 interface is equipped with high-quality
microphone preamplifiers for use with all types of microphones. The Revelator io24
features XMAX-L solid-state microphone preamps that are optimized for bus power.
Both input channels on your Revelator io24 interface are equipped with combo
jacks. This convenient connector accepts either a ¼-inch or an XLR connector.
Instrument / Line-Level Inputs. The ¼-inch connectors on Channels
1 and 2 can be used with passive instruments (guitar, bass, etc.)
or line-level devices (synthesizers, signal processors, etc.).
Please note: As with any audio input device, plugging in a microphone or an instrument,
or turning phantom power on or off, will create a momentary spike in the audio output.
Because of this, we highly recommend that you turn down the channel trim before
changing connections or turning phantom power on or off. This simple step will add
years to life of your audio equipment.
Multipurpose Encoder Knob. This is a lot more than a simple volume knob! It’s
also a button, and can be used to control many features of your Revelator io24:
•From the Home screen, press it to cycle through Headphone volume,
Main volume, and Monitor Blend. Rotate to edit the selected option.

Main Outs. These are the Main outputs for the Revelator io24. The output level of the
Main outputs is controlled by the Main level control on the front of the unit. Playback
streams 1 and 2 are routed to these outputs.
MIDI I/O. This is the MIDI input and output connections. MIDI stands for“Musical
Instrument Digital Interface.”However, MIDI can be used for many things other
than instruments and sequencing. The MIDI inputs and outputs allow connection
to a variety of MIDI-equipped hardware, such as keyboard controllers, and
can be used to send and receive MIDI Machine Control and MIDI Time Code.
Note: MIDI does not carry audio signals but is frequently used to trigger or control an
audio source, such as a virtual instrument or hardware synthesizer. You should
ensure that MIDI data is correctly sent and received by the appropriate hardware or
software. You may also need to route hardware sound sources’ audio to the inputs of
your Studio-series interface. Please consult the User’s Manual of your MIDI devices for
help with MIDI setup and usage.

2.4 Standalone controls
While many of the features available for your Revelator io24 can be
found in Universal Control, critical controls are available right at your
fingertips. Most of these settings can be changed from Universal Control
to customize your Revelator io24 to your application and needs.
The most important thing to remember is that the Multipurpose Encoder
on your Revelator io24 can be used for nearly everything! From either
the Home or Channel screen, pressing the Encoder will cycle through
the available options, and rotating it will adjust the parameters.
From the Home screen you can:
•Adjust your Headphone volume
•Adjust your Main Out volume
•Blend your mix between your input signal and
the playback from your computer
And from the Channel screen you can:
•Set your mic level
•Toggle +48v phantom power
•Toggle the 80Hz High-pass filter

2.4.1 Setting the Microphone Level
To set your Revelator io24’s input level, press the Channel button for the Channel
you would like to use. Next, press the encoder to cycle through the available options.
A yellow underline will indicate the currently-selected option. Once you’ve selected
the Gain setting—it’s shown below the Channel indicator number and measured in
dB (decibels)—turn the Encoder to set the desired gain level.
Power User Tip: If your input level is too loud, the clip indicator will display in red above
the input level meter. This means that your input signal is clipping, and will begin to
sound distorted. If your input signal clips, it will overload the analog-to-digital converters
and cause digital distortion. Digital distortion sounds terrible, and cannot be undone if
recorded. Because of this, it’s important to keep your eye on this indicator while you’re
setting your levels. Check out Section 9 for other recording tips.
2.4.2 Setting Main Output level
By default, the Encoder knob on your Revelator io24 controls the output level of
your Main Outputs—the outputs you have your speakers connected to. From the
home screen, press the Encoder repeatedly until the speaker icon appears below the
Volume indicator. Then rotate the Encoder to set the desired Main output level.
2.4.3 Setting Headphone level
From the home screen, press the Encoder repeatedly until the headphone icon
appears below the Volume indicator. Then rotate the Encoder to set the desired
Headphone output level.

2.4.4 Setting Monitor blend
Revelator io24 provides an easy way to create a blend between your
input signal and the playback from your computer. This lets you listen
to your performance in real-time without any latency (delay).
From the home screen, press the Encoder repeatedly until the XLR/
speaker icon appears below the Volume indicator. Then rotate
the Encoder to set the desired monitor Blend balance.
Turning the knob to the left will increase the level of the input signal relative
to the playback from your computer. Turning it to the right will increase the
level of the playback from your computer relative to the input signal.
Power User Tip: Universal Control lets you create a custom mix between your input
signals, main computer playback, and both stereo loopback audio channels.
So when you’re ready to dial in your headphone mix, go to Section 6 to learn more!
2.4.5 Selecting Presets
EQ and compression are the secret behind the professional broadcast studio
sound we all know so well. Your Revelator io24 has you covered with 8 easy-to-use,
professionally crafted processing and effects presets. These presets are designed to
give you great-sounding results with no audio engineering experience required!
The first two presets can be accessed right from the Preset buttons on your
Revelator io24. To cycle through them, press the Channel 1 or Channel 2
Preset buttons repeatedly. The default Presets for Channel 1 are Broadcast
and Vocal. Channel 2’s default presets are Broadcast and Acoustic Guitar.
When Channels 1 and 2 are linked for stereo operation, available
factory presets include several options optimized for stereo recordings,
including: Stereo Acoustic, Stereo Piano, Stereo DJ, and more!
Power User Tip: But wait! There’s more! No really, there are a lot more. Open up Universal
Control to access the other presets. You’ll also find an additional 12 preset slots (6 per
channel) to create your own. You can choose any two of these 12 total presets to be
accessible directly from the Preset buttons on your Revelator io24. See Section 4.1 for
information on creating and storing presets.
By default, the sound you hear in your headphones will be the sound that is
recorded. If you’d like to use presets for monitoring purposes only, you can open
up Universal Control and change that setting. See Section 6 to learn how.
To bypass the presets, just press and hold the Preset button for the desired
Channel. The Preset indicators on Revelator io24’s screen will go dark.
Power User Tip: Bypass the presets when you want a clean sound with no effects—great
for processing your recording later, or when you want to monitor through plug-ins inside
your favorite recording application.
For more on presets, check out Section 4.

optimized for live streaming. In Stream Mix Mode, Revelator io24 sends a complete
mix of your analog inputs, loopback channels, reverb, and effects directly to USB
Outputs 1 and 2 for use with streaming applications like OBS or Facebook Live.
When to use Stream Mix mode:
•When you would like to live stream using multiple audio sources
including: your microphone, guest audio from Skype or Zoom,
backing music from a media player app, etc., and you want all of these
elements sent to your streaming software in a stereo signal.
•You will be able to monitor the full mix of the above
mentioned sources in your headphones.
When to use Default mode:
•When you would like to record directly from the Revelator io24’s inputs into a
DAW, and you don’t want to mix in any sources from Skype, Zoom, Spotify, etc.
Here’s a simple block diagram to illustrate the changes in signal flow when
using Revelator io24 in Stream Mix Mode vs. the Default mode.

Owner’s Manual
3Universal Control
The Revelator io24 is so much more than a great-sounding
USB interface—and the secret to its advanced features and
mixing capability is unlocked with Universal Control.
Before proceeding, please make sure you have followed the instructions in Section
1.3.2 and have downloaded and installed Universal Control.
3.1 The Launch Window
Get ready for lift off! When Universal Control is launched, you will see the Launch
window. From this window, you can manage all the driver settings for your
Revelator io24.
Sample Rate. Changes the sample rate. You can set the sample rate to 44.1, 48, 88.2,
or 96 kHz. (With Multi Mode on macOS, the sample rate is limited to 44.1 and 48 kHz.)
A higher sample rate will increase the fidelity of the recording, but will also increase
the file size and the amount of system resources necessary to process the audio.
Power User Tip: For most applications, leaving this setting on 48 kHz will yield the best
results with the least amount of hassle.
Block Size (Windows only). Sets the buffer size. From this menu, you can set the
buffer size from 64 to 8,192 samples. Lowering the buffer size will lower latency,
which is the amount of time it takes for your audio to go from Revelator io24 to
the computer and back to your ears; however, this will also increase performance
demands on your computer. In general, you will want to set the buffer size as low
as your system can safely support. If you begin to hear pops, clicks, or distortion
in your audio path, try raising the buffer size. When adjusting the block size,
the Safe mode will automatically change to provide the best performance.
Power User Tip: Your Revelator io24 features built-in zero-latency monitoring so you can
leave your Block Size high and the performance demands on your computer low. In
general, you can use the default block size, but if you’re using an older computer that is
having trouble keeping up, go ahead and raise this setting. Experiment to find what
works best for you!

3.1 The Launch Window
Revelator io24
Owner’s Manual
Device Mode (macOS only). By default, your Revelator io24 presents itself as a
single audio interface with 6 inputs and 6 outputs. But when you’re ready to use
the loopback audio streams to record or route audio to multiple applications at the
same time (like the output of a Skype call to the audio input of your Facebook Live
stream), that’s where Multi Mode comes in. In this mode, your Revelator io24 will
show up as 3 different devices on your computer: Revelator IO 24, Revelator IO24
Loopback 1, and Revelator IO 24 Loopback 2. Each of these devices has 2 inputs
and 2 outputs. This is great for applications like Skype that only allow you to use
the first two inputs and outputs of any audio interface. PreSonus recommends that
you use Multi mode for the best experience. Note that in Multi mode, sample rate
options are limited to 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz. For more information on how loopback
audio works and how to use it for your podcasts, streams, and more, see Section 6.
Power User Tip (for Windows Users): On Windows, Revelator io24 is always in Single
Mode. If you are using WDM for applications like Skype, your Web Browser, etc., look for
the Revelator IO 24 name in respective applications’ audio setup menus. If you are using
ASIO for applications like Studio One and other DAWs, look for “PreSonus DSP USB” in
respective applications’ audio setup menus.

3.2 Using Your Revelator io24 with Popular Applications
If you’ve never used an audio interface, your computer and every application
on it are currently sourcing audio from the built-in microphone and
routing audio out to the onboard sound card. To use Revelator io24 with
any application that can access audio inputs or outputs or both, you must
first set up your computer to use Revelator io24 as an audio interface.
This section will take you through some of the most common use
cases. If you are using an application not listed in this section, you’ll
need to check with the documentation that came with it.
3.2.1 Using Revelator io24 for System Audio
The easiest way to make your Revelator io24 seen by just about any
application on your computer is to set it up as the default sound source
for your computer. Not only will this prompt most video conferencing
and streaming applications to look for Revelator io24, it will also set
your default Internet browser to use Revelator io24 as well.
Power User Tip: Setting your Revelator io24 as the default sound card for your system will
also route music streaming applications like Spotify and Apple Music to the headphone
output on your new interface. If you do not want to use your interface this way, it is best to
configure Revelator io24 as the audio I/O only for the applications for which you want to
use it.
