Presonus Central Station PLUS
The centerpiece of your studio
the professional’s choice for monitor control.
You should be able to switch between multiple sets of monitors and hear how your mix sounds with and without a subwoofer. You want to be able to switch between multiple analog and digital sources. And you want to do it without sacrificing clarity and transparency. Meet the presonus Central Station PLUS, the professional’s choice for monitor control.
The Presonus Central Station allows you to easily switch between three sets of stereo speakers, analog input sources and one digital stereo input source. The digital inputs provide up to 24-bit, 192 kHz digital-to-analog conversion, and the converters deliver over 115 dB of dynamic range. The presonus Central Station will automatically detect and lock the sample rate of the source device.
You can listen to these sources with up to three pairs of speakers, with separate settings for each speaker. You also get two screaming loud headphone amplifiers with individual level controls. If two sets of headphones are not enough, connect the line-level signal outputs to a headphone distribution system, such as a PreSonus® HP2, HP4 or HP60. And because the presonus Central Station is a 1U rack-mount device, with only one multi-conductor cable to the remote control on your desktop, all the cabling is in the back of your rack, where it belongs.
The professionals know that for critical listening, a monitor control system must be as sonically transparent as possible. That’s why we gave the Central Station an audiophile-quality passive signal path, without op-amps or ICs, and equipped the S/PDIF inputs with high-definition, 24-bit, 192 kHz D/A converters.
The presonus Central Station uses the highest quality passive components, including military-tolerance 1% metal film resistors; multi-element potentiometers; and durable connectors for the highest sonic performance. This provides the most transparent signal path and maximizes dynamic range, frequency response and headroom while minimizing noise and coloration.
