1.0 Getting Started
1.1 Connect Power
Before connecting a power supply to the Central Station, ensure that the power
supply meets the input-voltage requirements of the region or country where you
are using it. PreSonus only supports the power supply that is shipped with your
Central Station. If it does not meet your requirements, or you wish to purchase
an additional power supply, please contact your local dealer or distributor.
1. “Zero” the Main, Cue, Aux In, and Phones level knobs by turning
them fully counterclockwise. If you have speakers or other
gear connected to the Main L/R outputs, turn them all the way
down and make sure that the amplifier is powered off.
2. Connect the included power supply to the Central Station’s power-input
connector and to the appropriate wall socket. Because of its passive circuitry,
it is designed to be left on for long periods of time. Many manufacturers
make power-relay systems that send power to blocks of outlets at different
times so that your gear is instantly turned on and off in the correct order
with the flip of a single switch. If you are uncomfortable leaving your
equipment powered on all the time, these products are excellent solutions.
1.2 Connect Input Sources
1. “Zero” the Main, Cue, Aux In, and Phones level knobs
by turning them fully counterclockwise.
2. Connect your primary audio source (such as an audio interface or mixer main
outputs) to the left and right TRS 1 inputs on the back of your Central Station.
3. [Optional]: Connect your secondary audio source (such as a CD or MP3
player) or cue audio source (such as the auxiliary outputs of your interface or
mixer) to the left and right TRS 2 inputs on the back of your Central Station.
4. [Optional]: Connect a third source (such as a turntable or tone
generator) to the left and right Aux (RCA) inputs.
Note: Turntables require a phono preamp that applies a special (RIAA) EQ curve.
Most turntables do not have a phono preamp built in, and the Central Station does
not supply one, so you may have to purchase a phono preamp from a local retailer.
