PreSonusIOSTATION 24C

Combines a FaderPort with a good quality audio interface.I had a FaderPort and sold it because I still use the keyboard and mouse a great deal. I regretted selling it as this really makes automations so much easier and it's worth it just for that even if you are a mouse/keyboard person. When my old audio interface failed, this seemed like a great option and .. it is.It is built like a tank, all metal, not plastic.I found it a bit odd that I have the PreSonus Monitors and I had to buy 1/4 inch to RCA adapters for the monitor outs. That seems like a little oversight. They should include those adapters with one of the products. It would also be nice if the audio inputs could be moved to the front or side so they are easier to access.... These are minor points though. It's a great product for it's niche.

A simple hardware store rubber grommet as shown will turn the otherwise miserable knob into a jog/shuttle-style wheel you can easily turn with one fingertip. The knob will grind a bit (by design, sadly...this is an audio product and should be silent) but loosen up over time, as will the motorized fader.I like the design, have used the Faderport 2 for a few years, stayed with it for my podcast rig, which brings us to the audio side. It's fine enough, nothing special, the headphone amp cranks but does get a bit of harmonic distortion when cranked. The mic pre is commodity, it has enough gain for the SM7B but no phase invert. I didn't try a guitar, no idea of the input impedance.Comparing, the SSL2 is more euphonious than this certainly, but doesn't have the nifty controller of course. This lacks the SSL2's stereo control button, I think the low-latency input monitoring lock both channels as mono, but I didn't test that. Both have 115dB dynamic range spec, the SSL2 does sound better, but I can live with this Presonus audio for simple use cases. The SSL2 headphone level doesn't get as loud, but the preamps do have the somewhat handy "4K" mode.Testing further, the audio section on the ioStation is pretty poor. There are error spurs (continuous high tones) in the ADCs, and the main outs are unbalanced. This is sloppy corner cutting consumer gear quality. The PCB traces were made for manufacturing convenience and not for performance. Read the instructions next time. Presonus does read the instructions on their Quantum units fwiw.The DACs are OK, and the headphone amp, while getting some 3rd harmonic when cranked, is quite usable. I would probably prefer a USB Mic like the Shure MV7 over these ADCs if possible. But just to listen back in headphones while editing/mixing, or even over speakers, this works fine. The SSL 2 is far far better on the bench though. But no Faderport included unless you buy a UF8.

decided to upgrade my studio a few times this year, I already used Presonus gear so was an easy decision to stick with the brand. I previously had the iTwo interface but this is a whole new world beside my old 1. pre's are far superior, having the motorised fader and all the buttons to hand for track control has been a game changer for me.over all a superb input and control interface.

Un prodotto sinceramente fuori dal comune, non esistono competitors, nessuno produce un faderport, e sicuramente, nessuno produce un faderport con interfaccia audio USB incorporata, e con preamp microfonici XMAX, analogici (!) in classe A (!!).Ha addirittura l'ingresso footswitch per iniziare e fermare la registrazione senza usare le mani, se siete chitarristi, pianisti, o semplicemente pigri, è davvero una svolta.Fader motorizzato permette di scrivere automazioni con una facilità clamorosa, e vi danno 1500$ di software incluso.....ho difficoltà ad esprimere quanto sia cambiato il mio modo di lavorare con questo aggeggio, per favore, compratelo, fate il reso se non vi piace, ma vi prego, provatelo, e vi si aprirà un mondo.
