This little thing ROCKS. Period. Just buy it, you won't regret it! A more affordable solution to the Central Station. This unit has SO many options. Hook up three pairs of speakers! Or two pairs and a subwoofer. Switch between speakers with the push of a button. Multiple inputs. Switch between inputs with a push of a button. 4 Headphone jacks with separate volume for each! Mute, dim. TALKBACK. Perfect.

  My monitoring and headphone solution for the home studio

The Monitor Station is a perfect box and answer for any studio not running off of a large console. With the option of running 3 different sets of monitors, I can now check my mix faster as opposed to burning to disc, and playing it on everything from the car to the laptop, dvd player, radio. I still do those things but at the final stage after the mix sounds good on all sets of speakers. It also gives you 4 headphone outputs with indivual control as a cue box would that you would find in the bigger studios as well as a talk back feature with built in mic. After taking it out of the box and reading the meter calibration steps, I wasnt sure as to what my source output db level was. And after some trial and error, I was up and running. From out the box, to trial and error calibrating, to setting dim levels, maybe a total of 5-10 minutes. I definitely recommend

I was torn between this and the Central Station but thought I'd check it out. If you are looking for a desktop monitoring controller rather than a rackmount, I would highly recommend the Monitor Station. It's dead quiet and doesn't color the sound at all. Also nice having four headphone amps that can choose between two mixes when you are tracking a full band.
