PreSonusMonitor Station V2 Desktop Studio Control Center (MONITO STAT V2)

this monitor station sounds pretty good. i had the version 1 and it lasted years. may be 10 or so. This version sounds a lil different. it is more of a digital sound as apposed to the v1. but it sounds pretty gud. i love that i can do a ABC reference and i have 3 inputs sources to work with. The talkback feature is gud and you can monitor with 4 headphones.

This device is a life-saver in my Recording Studio. I have been looking for months for a "talk back" system to use with Pro Tools and my Studio...... and this thing is the bomb. I use 2 sets of speaker with it to switch back and forth to listen to the sound quality. The dim switch is great for automatically lowering the music in my room when talking to a client, but still having the music on. Its super easy to use and I love it!!The setup was SO easy that I could hardly believe it. There are 4 headphone plugins that you can use for mixing. LOVE THAT!!! And the level indicator on the front is great.

I bought this as an upgrade from a Mackie big knob that I've been using for years. The difference in clarity is night and day. I was surprised at how much the mackie has been coloring my sound all this time.A little expensive, even at the sale price but seems solidly built, and hopefully will last at least as long as my old big knob did. I kinda wish it didn't have the aux/spdif, and the whole cue section with 4 headphone outs, as I'll never use these, and they just take up space on the front panel. The unit could be half the size, and probably a lot cheaper if they made a cut-down version with just 2-in 3-out.

I needed a monitor controller to switch between my Yamaha HS8's and Avantone MixCube for mixing and initially bought a Mackie Big Knob but it didn't cut it so I returned it and went with this PreSonus Monitor Station. I'm so happy I did because not only is this unit well built and works like a charm but it also lets me use a third set of speakers, so my KRK Rokit's are back in play. I also like that you can hook up a turntable via the RCA and an iPhone as well because that gives me extra sources all plugged into one convenient device.

I am really liking this product so far. Did I need all the features? No. I am not really sure what else is out there that would allow me to switch back and forth between multiple headphones sets and monitors in a solid and trustworthy unit. So, I don't mind spending the money on a Presonus product. I'm sure I could have put something together with a few different products that would have been more specialized to my exact purpose. However, it would have likely cost just as much (or more) in the end, would have taken up more space, and I might use the extra features someday.

The media could not be loaded. Product was listed as new. But when I received it was definitely not NEW. Knobs were stuck and main knob came off.

I used the Big Knob for a while, biggest issue with it was line noise in one of the inputs. Tried to clean it, check solders, etc. No dice - I think they just use cheap components.The PreSonus is rock solid. Internal components are much nicer, no noise, feels good. Happy I replaced the Mackie

This very useful but I do have to complain about the knobs.. they suck! Center knob is a very cheap feeling piece of plastic. I can see myself having to replace this in a year or so.
