Description
Take total control of your studio monitoring setup with the PreSonus Monitor Station V2 Desktop Studio Control Center. Designed with both functionality and convenience in mind, this desktop control hub enables seamless management of multiple audio sources and speaker sets, perfect for those critical auditioning sessions or when you need to see how your tracks translate across different systems.
Swap easily between two balanced 1⁄4" TRS inputs, an S/PDIF digital input, and an aux input. Each input can be routed to the main and cue outputs, allowing you to feed three selectable monitor pairs. With its built-in talkback mic and four headphone amplifiers, each with individual level control, you can send the main mix to your control room monitors while simultaneously routing specific cues to different members of your band.
Enjoy precise level monitoring with its bright 8-segment LED meters, which can be calibrated to show +4dBu, +10dBu, or +18dBu, and a large master level knob for smooth control of monitor volume. The Monitor Station V2 is designed with high-quality components, including gold-plated connectors, high-headroom headphone amps, and premium analog circuitry, to deliver pristine, transparent monitoring.
