PreSonus Central Station PLUS Studio Monitor Controller

A more efficient way to take command of your monitor speakers.




The Central Station PLUS provides the perfect
combination of stereo inputs, outputs, and recording-communication
functions, allowing you to easily manage multiple sources and monitor
speakers. With Central Station, you can easily switch between three sets
of stereo, analog input sources. Two stereo S/PDIF digital sources
connect via one coax and one Toslink optical port. You can audition
these sources with up to three pairs of speakers, with individual trim
pots for each speaker—recessed to avoid accidents.

You also get a
pair of line-level main outputs, a pair of line-level cue outputs, and
two screaming-loud headphone amplifiers with individual level controls.
And because Central Station is a 1U rack-mount device, with only one
multi-conductor cable running to the remote control on your desktop, all
of the cabling is in the back of your rack, where it belongs.

High-End Audio Quality
The
pros know that for critical listening, a monitor-control system must be
as sonically transparent as possible. That’s why PreSonus gave the
Central Station an audiophile-quality, passive signal path, with no
op-amps or ICs, and equipped the S/PDIF inputs with high-definition,
24-bit, 192 kHz D/A converters.

The Meters
To enable
you to watch your input levels, the Central Station sports dual
30-segment, tri-colored, fast-acting, peak-hold LED meters, which can
display dBu and dBfs. A handy Clear switch lets you clear the peak-hold.

A Complete Tool Set
Because
Central Station PLUS is a professional tool, PreSonus included all of
the key features you’ll need to manage monitors in a commercial or
project studio. Speak to the musicians over the headphone and cue buses
using the onboard talkback microphone or connect a dynamic mic to the
XLR talkback input.

The cue signal is automatically dimmed when
you use the talkback mic, and a jack admits a footswitch for hands-free
talkback operation. A Mono switch sums the stereo source so you can
check for phase problems, and a Dim switch lets you reduce the speaker
output by 16dB. Of course, you can mute the speakers as well.

CSR-1 Remote
The
CSR-1 provides remote control of volume for each input pair and for the
talkback mic, as well as controlling muting, input-source switching
(TRS1, TRS2, Aux, and S/PDIF), and passive speaker-output switching
(stereo pairs A, B, and C). An Active light illuminates when the CSR-1
is controlling main volume. The Dim and Mono features also can be
controlled from the remote unit.

A built-in electret condenser
talkback mic with momentary on/off Talk button enables you to address
the musicians through their headphones. (The Central Station main unit
also has a talkback mic, so make sure to turn down whichever talkback
mic you aren’t using!)

Central Station connects to the CSR-1 via a
proprietary DB15 cable (included), enabling you to keep the Central
Station in your rack and control it from your desktop. This provides
maximum convenience with minimum wiring, keeping your workspace free of
cable clutter.
