Quick Control Over My Setup

By Michael
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2024-07-16

Purchased this as an alternative to the small analog mixer I used for years as a solution for routing various inputs to speakers in my setup. It's a straightforward design with easy access controls for switching between 3 speakers, and activating up to 3 source inputs. My only real complaint with the unit is the attenuation of the master volume knob - I feel like the volume range is limited in that a good 90 degrees of the knob will barely affect the signal. I do wish you could also assign sources to outputs, instead you can only have sources enabled or disabled, and they will play on whatever speaker outputs you have enabled. All in all, it's still a great unit which makes it easier to manage my setup than before I owned it.

Great, passive, and beautiful control center for utilizing multiple monitor sources.

question

This came with the JBL LSR310s kit I just purchased. I was wondering if I can connect the Left and Right speakers to one channel, while connecting the subwoofer to another channel, then control the subwoofer on/off independently of the main speakers or have all 3 on at the same time?
Asked by: Mark
The Monitor Station allows you to program the unit to output in several ways. Speaker selection can be in All On mode (speaker A, B and C can be engaged simultaneously), Toggle mode (speaker A, B, and C can only be selected one at a time), or Subwoofer mode (A and B are selectable, and C can be selected with A or B).
