Best processors and finest-quality components
We painstakingly evaluated CPUs to determine which processors would perform reliably on Windows audio applications. For the Creation Station 400, we chose the blazing-fast Intel Core i7 to provide uncompromised speed and reliability.

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. When you're working with audio, you need rock-solid, dependable performance. That's why we chose an Intel motherboard for the Creation Station 400. It's built to stand up to the rigors of the studio - and the stage. We also chose the highest-quality power supplies and cooling fans for our new Creation Stations, with ultra-quiet operation in mind. With optimized airflow, maximum efficiency, and the best components available, our audio computers give you the ultra-low-noise performance you need, without the risk of overheating.
