Whether you’re looking for a microphone for vlogging, podcasting, voiceovers, or general home studio use, the new PreSonus Revelator USB microphone makes it easy to get polished, professional sounding-results with great sounding presets, easy-to-use loopback audio, and selectable polar patterns. Whatever your application, Revelator will adapt to fit your needs.

The secret to a “radio sound” is a combination of the right talent and microphone with just the right amount of EQ and compression. Revelator makes it happen with the same EQ and compression algorithms found in PreSonus’ award-winning StudioLive Series III mixers.

Eight easy-to-use, professional crafted presets give you that radio sound with the press of a button, with the right combination of EQ and compression to make your voice stand out. Eight additional user presets are provided to make Revelator sound that’s all your own using the full StudioLive Fat Channel controls available in Universal Control. You also get a wealth of voice effects to create just about any crazy sci-fi sound you want. Even better, you can store up to four presets to be instantly selectable via the Preset button on Revelator!

More than a USB microphone, Revelator also features two stereo streams for loopback audio so you can quickly and easily conference in Zoom calls, record gameplay, or showcase the audio in a YouTube video while adding witty commentary.

Two streams for loopback audio mean you can mix and record the audio from two different applications on your computer, along with your voice, at the same time using the intuitive interface Universal Control. Built-in monitoring and an onboard headphone amplifier let you listen to your performance and mix in real time.

Three pickup patterns provide maximum flexibility. Use the cardioid pattern for voiceovers or performances where only one voice should be captured.

Doing a podcast interview in person? Change to the figure 8 pattern and position Revelator between you so one side will pick up the interviewer and the other will pick up the guest. Doing a roundtable discussion or recording multiple instruments? Switch to the omnidirectional pattern to pick up sound all the way around the microphone.

With its bus-powered USB-C compatible design, makes connecting Revelator connecting to a Windows or macOS computer and Android or iOS tablet a breeze, and it comes with PreSonus’ popular Studio One Artist recording production software and Studio Magic Software Suite. An integrated desktop stand with built-in cable management and elegant aesthetic keeps your broadcast space clean.

PreSonus Studio One users can now add powerful audio file conversions to their system with the company’s new Audio Batch Converter Add-on. Compatible with the newly released Studio One Prime (free), Artist, and Professional version 4.5 (and higher), the Audio Batch Converter offers format conversion and plug-in processing via most Studio One Native Effects, AU, VST2, and VST3 plug-ins.

Furthermore, it comes with 11 audio process that can be applied using an intuitive drag-and-drop workflow. Join files, merge mono files, split multichannel files, declick, invert phase, remove DC offset, repair the sample rate, normalize, adjust gain, independently control fad in and out, and more. The new converter is available directly from Studio One title bar for instant access without leaving the current Song or Project.

Audio Batch Converter’s integrated browser allows the user to create and edit processing chains via the same drag-and-drop workflow Studio One users are already accustomed to. You can even tweak effects during a real-time playback, and an integrated Preview Player lets you quickly preview and A/B compare unprocessed and processed signals.

The Audio Batch Converter supports a wide range of compressed and uncompressed audio file types, currently including Wave, AIFF, FLAG, Ogg Vorbis, CAF, M4A, and MP3. Each type supports various resolutions.

With its wide range of applications, PreSonus’ Audio Batch Converter for Studio One is an excellent tool for electronic musicians, audio engineers, sound designers, podcasters, voiceover artists, and more. It is available in the PreSonus Shop for $49.99 U.S.

PreSonus is now shipping Studio One 4.5, a major update to its powerful yet easy-to-use recording and production software. With more than 70 new features and improvements, this free update for Studio One 4 users adds several of the most requested features from the Studio One user community and adds advanced tools that streamline professional audio and MIDI production workflows.

The redesigned Input Channel section adds updated hardware preamp controls for selected PreSonus audio interfaces, as well as software-based input gain and phase controls to every input. This combination of hardware- and software-based gain controls offers more flexibility and control throughout the entire recording and mixing process.

All audio and instrument channels, effects channels, and buses also feature gain and phase controls so you can manage perfect levels across the entire mix without increasing event gain.

Grouping has been completely redesigned. Groups now have attributes for defining edit groups or mix groups using attributes for Volume, Pan, Mute/Solo, Inserts, and Sends. Groups can be nested and can be easily edited and activated/suspended with one click. A dedicated command can globally enable/disable all Groups at once.

Setting up an external audio interface is a lot easier thanks to several I/O setup improvements. Add any number of new inputs and outputs in just one step, including custom naming and coloring. Inputs and outputs can be reordered with simple drag-and-drop. Users who switch interfaces, move between studios, or collaborate will appreciate the new Import and Export options for I/O setups.

The new update adds many other important features and enhancements. For instance, the Chord Selector now offers a convenient Audition mode. Individual Audio Events, Audio Parts, and Instrument Parts in an arrangement can now be locked to prevent unintentional moving or editing, and you can even lock entire tracks.

PreSonus Audio Electronics has introduced the CDL-Series loudspeakers, the latest addition to the company’s line of innovative sound reinforcement designs.

The result of years of research and development, the CDL12 Constant Directivity Loudspeaker combines the best attributes of a point source and line array technology into a unique patent-pending design, with consistent SPL throughout the frequency response range, both on-and off-axix.

The companion subwoofer, the CDL18s, utilizes an innovative ported design that maximizes efficiency to create a big bass sound from a compact cabinet. Both Dante-enabled, powered enclosures can be flown as a vertical array, or combined for ground-stacked applications to create a complete, coherent loudspeaker system with an even response across the frequency spectrum.

Each CDL12 consists of eight 2-inch drivers aligned in a segmented circular-arc high-frequency array centered in front of the low-frequency driver travels from the same acoustic axis as the high-frequency array so that the pattern always radiates from the center of the CDL12- whether used individually, or as part of an acoustically coupled vertical array with up to six enclosures.

Because of this, the CDL12 avoids the near filed anomalies that can interfere with the sound quality of a traditional line array. This makes the CDL12 ideally suited for a broader range of venue sizes, creating a far-field response almost immediately as the sound is projected from the center of the enclosure.

The CDL18s features a unique port configuration that maximizes efficiency to create big bass sound from a compact cabinet. Each of the four triangle-shaped ports is places in a corner so that it couples to the cabinet, using the side walls to effectively elongate each port and allowing the CDL18s to move air in a compact enclosure.

Its custom 18-inch low-frequency transducer with 4-inch voice coil can travel 7 mm before over-excursion, and easily handles 800W, providing the articulate low-end punch audio professionals demand. The CDL18s and CDL12 form a unique loudspeaker system ideal for both portable PA and installed sound systems.

PreSonus has introduced FaderPort, a USB production controller that provides advanced, innovative DAW Control. Amazingly fast, efficient studio workflow awaits you!

Although a keyboard and mouse are tried-and-true DAW-control devices, they’re far more effective when used in tandem with the FaderPort’s precise tactile control over mix and automation functions. A superior solution for anyone who mixes in the box, FaderPort provides a 100mm touch-sensitive, motorized fader for writing fades and automation in real time and 24 buttons covering 40 different functions, all in a compact chassis that easily sits on any desk.

FaderPort lets you quickly zoom in on audio files for editing, and control track levels with the touch of a finger. PreSonus incorporated elements from their award-winning FaderPort 8 into their new and improved FaderPort. Rather than forcing you to revise your mixing method, the FaderPort augments the way you currently mix.

The FaderPort’s unique Session Navigator provides easy access to eight mission-critical functions for maximum flexibility. Use the larger encoder button and companion buttons to edit and mix with greater efficiency and speed.

Scroll through your timeline, using the encoder, or work measure by measure with the arrow buttons. Zoom in and out on the timeline with the encoder and make your tracks larger or smaller with the arrow buttons. Navigate and drop markers, and maintain constant control of your main level.
