Unboxing the Presonus ioStation 24c

We get a chance to unbox the all new Presonus ioStation 24c!
This unit is a USB-C interface and control surface, with transport controls, 16+ double functions soft keys, 2 mic/hi-z/line inputs, and physical controlled input monitoring for headphones!
We'll unbox the unit so you know what you get, then hook it up to my system and make a quick little song so you can see how easy it is to get working!

If only it had MIDI ports it would be a complete package.

[@ELLIOT8209]

Has anyone ever sat on that beautiful couch behind you? It's forever looking brand new

[@dustinc4353]

Thank you for this Tim, I think a video of this in use, recording and mixing, especially using the automation functions would be great.

[@AmpStak]

Good video, Tim. A clear and concise overview of an interesting and well-conceived product.

[@timgorman2090]

New to this channel. Tim, you really explain everything well and you're very articulate! You've sold me on the ioStation! Wish all reviews/how-to were this clear & concise.

[@TimTalksAudio]

Awesome, thank you!

[@ruby2thursday]

have wanted one of these since i bought the version that is NOT an interface but only a control surface. portable goodness!

[@alecturemuseum]

Thank you, Tim! I wasn't too sure about the interface side of the ioStaion 24c until you clarified it. Can't wait for more of these videos!

[@TimTalksAudio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bryanmontero]

Great video! Looking fwd for the follow up video as i just purchased one 🎵💥

[@Diegosaurio]

Hey Tim, can you control send levels (per channels) with the fader or knob?

[@LossLeadas]

are u having pop problems with it?

[@ud7806]

after seeing this I'm also thinking to buy it.

[@machiavellian7490]

The sofa 🛋?

[@mufudzimaposa]

I was waiting for the USB D cable to come through 😅

[@litechaos3237]

Can it connect to studio monitors

[@TimTalksAudio]

Yea it can! It has balanced outputs for monitors and a headphone output as well.

[@csederqvist]

Is the interface still using USB 2.0, like the Studio 26C? I don't get why they don't utilize the bidirectional, better bandwidth available using 3.0 or 3.1? Only if you buy thunderbolt interfaces you'll get anything better than USB 2.0, even while the connectors are the same dimensions as USB-C and used in the same combo-ports on the computer. That's pretty sad, as the cheapest of the thunderbolt devices costs a lot more. It's not like the technology isn't there, you could make it USB 3.1 with a 2.0 fallback mode for older devices, still, they limit the interfaces to USB 2.0 using USB-C connectors... Point being?

[@TimTalksAudio]

This is from the manual of the ioStation 24c..... USB C Port. Use this port to connect your ioStation 24c to your computer. While the ioStation 24c connects using USB C, it is fully compatible with USB 2.0 and 3.0 connections. Use the USB C to A cable that came with your ioStation 24c if your computer has a USB 2.0 or 3.0 connection rather than a USB C connection. Do not connect your ioStation 24c to a USB 1.1 or lower connection on your computer.

[@jonsubs9998]

There is no advantage in USB 3 over USB 2. There is more bandwidth in USB 3 but that's pointless for a device with fewer than dozens of inputs. The latency is also the same. That's why none of these USB interfaces are USB 3.

[@csederqvist]

@@TimTalksAudio Compatible, yes because USB 3.0 and 3.1 is backwards compatible, but will be reduced to a 2.0 functional level. If you monitor the connection, it gets downgraded to USB 2.0 in an operational state.

[@csederqvist]

@@jonsubs9998 I know that you'd probably not need the extra bandwidth, but the actual wiring in a USB-C cable that is also USB 3.0/3.1 standard would allow for lower latency and more simultaneous transmissions. You do get lower latency with thunderbolt interfaces, because it is a different technology, sure, but the physical connectors are the same (or at least can be) as USB-C, so I don't get how this would not be forward thinking, to actually use the USB 3.0+ for transfer when the connectors and wiring allows for better utilization of the actual technology in use.

[@jonsubs9998]

@@csederqvist USB 3 doesn't result in lower latency, it's exactly the same. This has been discussed by interface makers. If you know something about making USB interfaces that presonus/focusrite/SSL don't know, consider reaching out and teaching their engineers, otherwise they are all in agreement that USB 3 would serve no purpose.

[@tommidd8042]

Where is it made?

[@tommidd8042]

never mind, found the china tag

[@landonp629]

Now if Studio One could just be a good DAW... Almost 2023 and still lacks surround sound support.
