PreSonus Monitor Station-2 Desktop Studio Control Centre

Manage multiple audio sources and sets of monitor speakers, track using illegally loud headphone amplifiers, and talk back to your drummer-all from your desktop.

Switch between two pairs of balanced 6.35mm TRS and a third input channel that can be fed from an S/PDIF digital input, one pair of unbalanced RCA Aux inputs with gain control, and a 3.5mm TRS unbalanced input that is summed with the RCA Aux inputs. A button switches between the analog Aux and digital S/PDIF inputs.

Each of the stereo inputs can be routed to one of two audio paths: Main and Cue. You also can route two separate signals (Main and Cue) to each of the four headphone amplifiers.

Switch between three sets of monitors and set each set of speakers’ level individually so that when you switch between speakers, your monitoring level stay the same.

Eight-segment, three-colour LED meters indicate left and right signal levels. A Mono switch sums the stereo outputs to check for phase problems. A large, knob controls the main speaker output level (but not the main line-level outs), and a Dim switch with attenuation knob lets you reduce the speaker output by a variable amount (-30 to -6 dB). Of course, you can mute the speakers as well.
