Take Studio-quality Performance on the Road!
Just because you're working with pro-quality audio doesn't mean you have to stay in the studio! The Creation Station Rack is made to go where you go, and it provides all the processing power, connectivity, and features you need, at the same time. This rackmountable computer is built from the ground up for audio, allowing you to run massive numbers of tracks or to take the stage with your favorite virtual instruments.

The Technology Behind the Creation Station Rack
The finest quality components available
You want an audio PC that gives you the best performance possible for your money. That's why we chose components for our Creation Station computers that are not only the best in terms of build quality and performance, but also the best in terms of how well they interact with all of the other elements in the system.
|
 |
The best processors for audio production
We spent hours evaluating CPUs to determine which processors would perform reliably on Windows audio applications. For the Creation Station Rack, we chose the Intel Core 2 Quad to provide speed and reliability. |
|
Quality Seagate hard drives for performance and reliability
Your recording projects require hard drives that give you quiet, reliable service. The dual Seagate SATA drives in the Rack can effortlessly handle the demands of audio recording. |
 |
|
 |
Compatible with Windows DAW applications
Your Creation Station is compatible with virtually all major audio production packages, including Digidesign Pro Tools, Steinberg Nuendo and Cubase, Cakewalk SONAR, Sony Vegas, and more. |
|
High-quality motherboard — an essential component
When you're working with audio, you need rock-solid, dependable performance. That's why we chose ASUS motherboards for all of our Creation Station computers. They're built to stand up to the rigors of the road (and the studio). |
 |
|
 |
Audio-grade RAM for error-free performance
You can rest assured you've got dependable audio-grade RAM onboard for reliable performance. We use Lifetime memory for maximum dependability. Unlike many generic memory manufacturers, Lifetime tests every single chip on every single board. |
|
Reliable and blissfully quiet power supply
If you're serious about creating perfect audio, the right power supply is essential. For the Creation Station Rack, we chose a beefy Zalman power supply to handle the demands of drives, cards, and future expansion. |
 |
|
 |
CPU cooling system and fans
You need quiet performance for studio situations, but don't want to risk overheating. The Rack's Zalman CPU cooler, in conjunction with two Noctua case fans, provide optimal heat-transfer efficiency. |
|
Sweetwater-exclusive Auralex Sheetblok-Plus
Every measure has been taken to make your Creation Station as quiet as possible. That includes the strategic placement of Auralex Sheetblok-Plus coating to help keep mechanical vibrations from translating into noise. |
 |
|
 |
Maximum internal airflow
Keeping your system well ventilated will keep fan use down, thus helping to keep it quiet. We've routed and bundled internal cables to keep air paths clear. |
|
AcoustiFeet: noise-free from top to bottom!
Each Creation Station is outfitted with AcoustiFeet, which are made from a special soft silicone that makes an excellent vibration damper and shock absorber. |
