Versatile and flexible

Audition on up to three stereo pairs of speakers, each with separate level control. All speakers can be available, or one pair at a time, or choose between speakers A and B, with output C active to feed a subwoofer. You can set each set of speakers' level individually so when you switch between speakers, your monitoring level stays the same.

Four loud, clear sound the Monitor station features a ¼-inch TRS headphone outs ensure everyone hears every note. Each headphone out has a Main/Cue source selector and individual output-level control. A built-in, electret-condenser Talkback mic let you communicate with the musicians. A flaming red Talk button activates the mic and attenuates the cue signal. Eight-segment, three-color LED meters indicate left and right signal levels and can be set in for +4 dB, +10 dB, or +18 dB levels.

Additional controls

The Monitor Station V2 offers many features to customize your monitoring system. A Mono switch sums the stereo outputs to check for phase problems. A large knob controls the main speaker output level (but not the main line-level outs), and a Dim switch lets you reduce the speaker output by a variable amount. You can mute the speakers as well.
