PreSonus, the FireWire-based computer audio recording systems producer is pleased to announce two break-through products for Audio and Video Production - the MegaStudio Producer and MegaStudio Artist. Along with the hardware and software included with the MegaStudio Producer and MegaStudio Artist, are over four hours of tutorial videos to show the customer how to create music recordings and video productions.

    The MegaStudio products are the first products to include all hardware and software needed to create professional quality multi-track audio production AND multi-track video production. The Central Station is the ultimate studio-monitoring interface for the modern digital studio. The Central Station features three sets of stereo analog inputs to switch between input sources such as: DAW, mixer, CD/DAT/Tape player, or keyboards/samplers.

     “Video production has never been more important and accessible,” says PreSonus Director of Marketing Brad Zell. “It is essentially a requirement for an independent band to have a video to reach and build a fan base, companies are increasingly using videos to present products, and independent film-making is exploding. The MegaStudio products make it unbelievably affordable to create professional-quality audio and video productions.”

    Two stereo analog inputs feature TRS balanced and the third stereo input features RCA inputs with trim control for level matching of input signals. In addition, the Central Station will accommodate two digital inputs via S/PDIF or TOSLINK providing D/A conversion up to 24Bit/192kHz. This allows you to monitor DAW and CD/DAT outputs through the same professional quality converter for the most accurate A/B comparison and highest quality monitoring environment.

    The digital to analog converter offers the highest possible audio quality with over 117dB dynamic range and ultra high quality analog circuitry. The Central Station features three sets of monitor outputs, each with their own set of passive trim controls. The monitoring section also provides MUTE, DIM and MONO switches. In addition, the Central Station includes a set of CUE outputs that can feed headphone amplifiers and a separate stereo MAIN line level output.

    Perfect for bands, musicians, independent film makers, product training, and more, the MegaStudio Producer and MegaStudio Artist makes it easier than ever to join the thousands of bands and people making videos on YouTube, MySpace, corporate websites and more.
