PreSonus has introduced the Monitor Station V2, a desktop control hub that puts you in complete command of your studio monitoring setup. The Monitor Station V2 provides intuitive management of multiple audio sources and speaker sets so you can instantly audition various mixes or check how your tracks translate across different systems.

Manage Multiple Sources and Monitor Sets

Easily switch between two balanced 1⁄4" TRS inputs, an S/PDIF digital input and an aux input via unbalanced RCA and 1/8" TRS connectors. Each input can be routed to the main and cue outputs, which feed three selectable monitor pairs. Level match your monitors by setting the output level of each pair individually.

Give Musicians Their Own Mix

The Monitor Station V2 provides four headphone amplifiers, each with its own level control and source selector. Send the main mix to control room monitors while routing a click track to the drummer, a vocal cue to the singer and a guitar cue to the guitarist. Talk to the whole band through the built-in talkback mic.

Manage with Precision and Ease

Bright 8-segment LED meters provide precise level monitoring and can be calibrated to show +4dBu, +10dBu or +18dBu. A large master level knob gives you smooth control of monitor volume. Engauge the mono switch to check for phase issues or use the dim switch to temporarily reduce monitor level by up to 24dB. Mute your monitors with the touch of a button. An intuitive layout and workflow make the Monitor Station V2 easy to use so you can focus on the music.

High-Quality Components for Superior Sound

PreSonus designed the Monitor Station V2 with high-quality components to provide pristine, transparent monitoring. Gold-plated connectors, high-headroom headphone amps and premium analog circuitry deliver audio without coloration, noise or distortion so you can make mix decisions with confidence.
