Audio Hardware

PreSonus Central Station
The Central Station features a purley passive signal path for great 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. Great for interfacing to your DAW, and for monitoring & mastering through Headphones.
