Presonus Monitor Station V2

I have 2 pairs of studio monitors, 1 pair of HiFi speakers and a pair of live active monitors.
I have my studio computers, a lap top (with mostly audio progs on it) and my smart phone, all the time in my studio.
Now I am able to control all of the above, with just a press on the right button. It simplified my studio life so much. First I was wondering "do I really need this, or I just wanna be more fancy" . Well also being fancy is cool, but the truth is, now my workflow and switching between all of this connections is soo much better! And I also run at least 2 or 3 headphones, which are connected all the time and just turn the right knob, and I m listening through whatever I want. or just sending signal to the headphones behind the drum kit, easily.
I think this is a great product for the price if you are like me, sending signals from many different sources, and also listening with many different combinations. It just does the job !

The Presonus Monitor Station V2 is a solid unit.
I record a lot of voice overs and the occasional instrument and singer. I also mix a lot of music, TV shows and commercials. One day I'll buy the Dangerous Audio Monitor St but for now that cost is not in the budget, in the meantime I desperately need a talk back system and monitor controller. The Presonus Monitor Station V2 is relatively inexpensive, which is what I was expecting when I ordered it, a cheap monitor controller. But the when the V2 arrived it surprised me, it doesn't look or sound cheap, it is well built and functions great surpassing my expectations. There is only one minor con in my opinion, no input for a footswitch for the talkback. I am however extremely satisfied for the price.

Cannot be more satisfied.

- Build:

Very sturdy metal enclosure, is a studio grade piece of equipment. On the compact side which is very welcome.

The buttons and knobs are solid....knobs give a bit of a play as you rock them but found out this is normal (every single knob in my gear have that)

Good power supply. (At least for EU), the one that came with the unit is rectangular and more solid than the ones on videos I've seen.

- Sound:

Pristine IN/OUTS either through analog or digital. I've tried both and finally settled with SPDIF input. Both are super clean, no coloration or extra noise (at all)....just use balanced plugs (no regular mono)

- Usability:

I needed this to be able to have everything in front without having to reach to tweak my interface's volume all the time.

Also to be able to record and monitor at the same time using 2 or more headphones and the talkback button is also really useful.

Overall a great product. A bit on the pricey side though.

Amazing product! It is a marvelous piece of hardware. Compact with full control on the tip of your fingers. You can hook up to 3 three pair of speakers or use it just with 2 and the last one leave it for a subwofer. It supports 3 streams with spdif capabilities and aux. Well build, relatively heavy - robust plastic and metal plates. Perfect buttons and knobs. Do not forget the talk option with in build microphone, 4 headphones inputs. Presonus Monitor Station V2 has everything you are searching for, and can beat with ease almost every one of those overpriced products. It sits great on the desk without consuming extra space.
I can't find any cons for it!
Definitely it is becoming to be the heart of our studio!

Great monitor controller with lots of features. The control you have with this unit over other competitors in its price range is brilliant with the use of functionality and the control over the metering. Even changing the configuration of the 3rd speaker button to be used as a sub that continually stays on when switching between speaker 1 and 2 is another great feature from Presonus. The DA conversion is rather impressive for a unit in this price range. Overall the V2 feels solid and so far has been working great with no problems, shipping to the UK was quick and overall happy with my experience shopping with Thomman.
