Computer system requirements:

Below are the minimum computer-system requirements for the ioStation 24c.

Windows®

  • Windows 10 (64-bit only)
  • Intel® Core™ i3 / AMD A10 processor or better
  • 4 GB RAM (8 GB or more recommended)

Mac®

  • macOS® 10.13 or higher (64-bit only)
  • Intel Core i3 or better (Native support for Apple Silicon)
  • 4 GB RAM (8 GB or more recommended)

Mac and Windows Systems

  • USB-C® or USB-A 2.0 port compatibility
  • 32 GB hard disk space
  • PreSonus® Universal Control 2.0 or higher
  • Monitor with 1366x768 resolution (high-dpi monitor recommended)
  • Multitouch-enabled monitor required for touch operation
Note: The minimum system requirements may differ for DAWs other than Studio One®. Please check the requirements for your DAW of choice with its manufacturer.
Note that the speed of your processor, amount of RAM and size and speed of your hard drive will greatly affect the overall performance of your recording system. Also, a more powerful system (faster processor with more RAM) will allow for lower latency (signal delay) than you might experience while monitoring audio signals.
