Controls & Connections - PRESONUS CENTRAL STATION User Manual

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 has 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 additional metering options.
TALKBACK
The CENTRAL STATION has an onboard omni directional condenser 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.
REMOTE CONTROL (optional)
An additional DB15 connector on the rear of the CENTRAL STATION to allow for a wired remote which
controls VOLUME, TALKBACK, MUTE, input source switching and speaker output switching functions.
