I am a happy owner of the cental station and its remote control for 2 months and I am quite pleased.
This controller is amazing monitoring its quality (manufacturing / audio / number of inputs and outputs / Routing ...).

You love to watch it (all beautiful Blue LED to indicate different modes of routing) and you forget it at the audio (no perceived change in sound with or without).

It has 3 IN 1 IN analog and digital offering the choice between an optical input and SPDIF in CAR. All inputs and outputs are Balanced Jack 6.35.

3 analog outputs are available and have a trim setting on the front can be calibrated three outputs (TRIM L and R separate for each output).

To control volume, there on the rack of a potentiometer graduated friendly touch of -80 dB to 0 dB as well as good practices to switch 3 for the first 2 or dimer to transfer the output signal and the third Opperer a summation of mono output.

It has everything you need where you need it and can forget (What Happiness)

It's not over, you have also an ingenious system of monitoring headphones allowing you to make a computer without dealing with the problem of routing and latency.

Indeed, two headphone outputs are present on the front with their levels and sélction respective input (Main and Cue).
The sélction is done by pressing the volume knob on the headphone output concerned. This selection is esignalée front with blue LED.

Let's go to our two new sections for monitoring: CUE / MAIN.

For CUE you have the same choice as the Main Entrance (3 IN 1 IN Digital + Analog respectively named TRS1 / TRS2 / TRS2 / DIGITAL SPDIF or TOS / AUX)
The appellation TRS is probably related to the use of TRS connectors.
In short, this section contains a CUE output volume.

For the MAIN you also as seen above control switch inputs from and in addition an AUX input assayable.
Finally the unit also has a built-in talkback mic and a great VU output calibrated.
Obviously no noise of a switch or volume control.

Superb label.
The headphone outputs are potatoes.
Excelente quality connections.
No color or sound deterioration.
No effect on the stereo.
So far so good.

For remote control:
Handy to keep on hand, it includes all the control section MAIN (volume / select input / output selection / MUTE / DIM / MONO).

It also incorporates a micro-order which replaces the rack when the remote is activated.

It is also very well done and the same design of the device with blue light LED and Switch.

Here is a nice tool that will not betray you and will make your life easier.

The price should not be a hindrance at this point in the audio (you'll just pass by and think about the amount you invested in your monitors).

Buy the eyes closed.
