PreSonus ioStation 24c: USB-C Audio

he PreSonus ioStation 24c desktop audio production interface and controller provides a superior small-format audio console-type control perfect for the home studio, for podcasters, and as a portable solution for on-the-go engineers. Packed with essential tools to record, mix, and produce in an ergonomic desktop design, the ioStation 24c delivers recordings through two world class XMAX preamps and PreSonus FaderPort technology, featuring high-definition 24-bit, 192 kHz analog-to-digital converters.

Award-winning XMAX preamps onboard
The ioStation 24c from PreSonus showcases two solid-state XMAX Class A mic preamps. These pres offer impressively clear sound, and, even with the gain dialed down, you’ll still have loads of volume with plenty of headroom to spare.

The highest digital resolution available
Speaking of headroom, thanks to the ioStation 24c’s high-quality digital converters, you get an impressive 115dB of dynamic range that allows you to capture every nuance and sonic detail of your source. What’s more, these converters are capable of operating at up to 192kHz resolution, allowing you to go well past the 96kHz of professional studio work and future-proof your recordings for the high-quality standards yet to come. In other words, whether you need ultra-high-resolution audio for sound-design work or simply want to capture your recordings in the greatest possible sonic detail, your Studio 26c is ready for the job.

Integrated PreSonus FaderPort technology
The ioStation distinguishes itself by including technology from PreSonus' well-regraded FaderPort line of products, which add physical, console-type control over channel parameters. The ioStation is loaded with a high-quality motorised long-throw fader to give you the feel needed for recording perfect fades and writing automation. It includes standard transport controls and other general session controls such as undo/redo, solo/mute clear, track management, and more, plus you can switch automation modes instantly.

The innovative Session Navigator controls make managing complex sessions a breeze. The iOStation 24c manages to capture the experience of mixing on larger desks and condense it into a home studio interface. Backed by Mackie Control and HUI protocols make it easy to control Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, Cubase, Ableton Live, and more.

Recording software included
Seamlessly integrated with the included PreSonus Studio One Artist music production software, the iOStation 24c audio interface works with virtually all macOS and Windows recording software. Studio One is the ideal software to begin producing music with thanks to the intuitive workflow and range of controls. Compose, record and produce with ease through the iOStation, whilst Studio One lets you shop, audition, and purchase new content, loops and samples without leaving the software.
