Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Built-in voice effects with 8 factory presets and 8 customizable slots eliminate the need for separate processing software.
- Three selectable polar patterns provide flexibility across solo, group, and interview recording scenarios.
- Integrated 6-in/6-out audio interface with loopback simplifies complex routing for streamers and podcasters.
- Includes both Studio One Artist and Ableton Live Lite, saving the cost of purchasing a DAW separately.
- Onboard controls for gain, headphone volume, mute, and preset switching allow real-time adjustments without touching software.
👎 Cons
- 24-bit/96kHz recording quality is strong but the USB connection limits it to a single microphone input on the interface.
- Onboard effects processing uses fixed DSP, so effect customization beyond the UC Surface parameters is not possible.
- The microphone body is larger than some competing USB mics, which may take up more desk space.
- No XLR output means you cannot integrate the Revelator into a traditional analog signal chain.
Frequently Asked Questions
What polar patterns does the Revelator offer and when would I use each one?
Cardioid focuses on sound directly in front of the mic, ideal for solo podcasting or streaming. Omnidirectional captures sound from all directions, useful for recording ambient room audio or group discussions. Figure-8 picks up from the front and back while rejecting the sides, making it well-suited for face-to-face interviews.
Do I need an audio interface to use this microphone?
No. The Revelator is a USB microphone with a built-in 6-in/6-out audio interface, so it connects directly to your computer via USB without any additional hardware.
What are the loopback channels used for?
The loopback channels let you route audio from one application to another on your computer. This is useful for mixing music, sound effects, or calls from different apps into a single stream for recording or live broadcasting.
Can I create my own voice effect presets?
Yes. In addition to the 8 factory presets, the Revelator provides 8 additional slots where you can build and save custom presets using the included UC Surface software mixer.
What recording software is included?
The microphone comes with PreSonus Studio One Artist and Ableton Live Lite, giving you two capable DAWs for recording and production right out of the box.
