Presonus Central Station Plus Studio Control Center with Remote

The PreSonus Central Station PLUS is a professional, audiophile-quality; passive monitor controller with a desktop remote well fitted for commercial studios, project studios, and broadcast environments. The Central Station is designed for ensuring a true transparent signal path and frequency response, maximizes dynamic range, and headroom while minimizing noise and coloration. The controller uses excellent-quality, passive components (no op-amps or ICs), including military-grade, metal-film resistors, 1% tolerance, multi-element potentio meters, and durable connectors for delivering professional sonic performance. The 1 RU enclosure houses controls for three sets of monitors, two high-gain headphone outputs, a built-in talkback microphone, 4-sets of inputs, assignable cue and main outputs, and a precision dual 30-segment LED display with peak hold functionality.

The rear panel provides two sets of 1/4" TRS inputs, as well as a set of RCA aux inputs. The Central Station PLUS also offers 24-bit/192 kHz digital inputs with TOSLINK & SPDIF connectors. There are 2-sets of 1/4" line outputs (Cue and Main) and three sets of 1/4" speaker Outputs (A, B & C). Each speaker output features their own set of trim controls for setting levels and calibrating the loudness & balance of each monitor. The talkback mic section features an XLR input for using your own dynamic microphone and a pedal input for hands-free talkback engagement.

The included CSR-1 Central Station Remote is a desktop controller that offers analog/digital input select, volume control, and speaker select. There are controls for dim, mute, and mono, as well as an additional built-in talkback microphone with its own level control and engagement switch. The PreSonus Central Station Plus comes with a 12' CSR-1 remote cable and a power supply.
