Further Details

THE ULTIMATE STUDIO CONTROL CENTER   The Central Station is the ultimate studio-monitoring interface for the  modern digital studio. The Central Station features three sets of stereo  analog inputs to switch between input sources such as: DAW, mixer,  CD/DAT/Tape player, or keyboards/samplers. Two stereo analog inputs  feature TRS balanced and the third stereo input features RCA inputs with  trim control for level matching of input signals. In addition, the  Central Station will accommodate two digital inputs via S/PDIF or TOSLINK  providing D/A conversion up to 24Bit/192kHz. This allows you to monitor  DAW and CD/DAT outputs through the same professional quality converter  for the most accurate A/B comparison and highest quality monitoring  environment. The digital to analog converter offers the highest possible  audio quality with over 117dB dynamic range and ultra high quality analog  circuitry. The Central Station features three sets of monitor outputs,  each with their own set of passive trim controls. The monitoring section  also provides MUTE, DIM and MONO switches. In addition, the Central  Station includes a set of CUE outputs that can feed headphone amplifiers  and a separate stereo MAIN line level output.     PURELY PASSIVE SIGNAL PATH    The Central Station features a PURELY PASSIVE SIGNAL PATH for ultimate  sonic performance. The main audio path of the Central Station uses no  amplifier stages including op amps or active IC's (integrated circuits)  that add noise, color, distortion, and give that "pinched" sound.  Distortion produced by op amps and IC's also gives added ear fatigue.     Signal routing in the Central Station is acheived utilzing 34 sealed  mechanical relays (instead of active IC's) maintaining a minimal signal  path design wherein extraneous electronics are hard-wire bypassed. Using  relays ensures the most transparent signal path maximizing dynamic range,  frequency range, and headroom, while minimizing noise and coloration. The  Central Station uses the highest quality passive components including  military grade 1% tolerance metal film resistors, multi-element  potentiometers and ultra-durable connectors to deliver the highest sonic  performance.   METERING    The Central Station features dual fast-acting 30-segment peak/hold LED's  for accurate metering. The front panel of the Central Station includes  both dBu and dBfs scale as well as peak/hold clear switch and meter  alignment switch for addtional metering options.   TALKBACK    The Central Station has an onboard TALKBACK microphone which is routed  through the CUE outputs for communication between artist and engineer.  The Central Station also includes a Microphone XLR input on the rear  panel for use with an external microphone. When TALKBACK is used the CUE  mix is automatically "dimmed" for added ease of communication.   CSR-1 CENTRAL STATION REMOTE CONTROL (optional code 328160)   The Central Station Remote Control (CSR-1) can be connected to the rear  of the Central Station via db15 connector to control VOLUME, TALKBACK,  MUTE, input source switching and speaker output switching functions. Keep  the Central Station in your rack with your gear and use the CSR-1 for  ultimate control and flexibility.      Features   • Passive Audio Path - no op amps or IC's in main audio path  • Five stereo inputs (2 digital and 3 analog)  • 24-Bit/192kHz DAC (>117dB dynamic range) via SPDIF and TOSLINK  • Three sets of monitor outputs; each with passive volume control  • Talkback microphone with volume to feed headphone and cue output  • Accurate dual 30-segment LED for metering  • Two front panel headphone jacks with separate volume control  • MAIN and CUE stereo output have independent input source  • Optional console remote control with input, output, talkback, and  volume
