PreSonus Revelator io44 USB Audio Interface

The Revelator io44 is aimed at the person who streams and records at the same desk. An XLR input runs into a PreSonus XMAX-L microphone preamp with enough gain for a low-output professional microphone, and there are inputs for a guitar, a DJ mixer, or a gaming headset alongside it. Onboard processing sits on every analog input, so the voice going out is already shaped rather than raw.

The built-in mixer blends audio from up to three applications at once, which is how a backing track, a call, and game audio get into one stream without a virtual routing setup taxing the computer. An automatic output limiter keeps the stream from distorting when something unexpectedly gets loud. Monitoring runs at near-zero latency on macOS or Windows, so streaming and recording can happen simultaneously off one custom mix.
