Exactly what I need - great - one quality issue resolved with electronic spray
I have two sets of monitor speakers, plus a headphone amp for recording.
In Presonus Studio One 6 you need, for recording, to use output 3 and 4 for the special "cue" mix, to minimise latency. The Station is perfect for the needed switching. If you want your "cue" mix on the main speakers (in case of instruments needing no microphone), you just switch the main input to "ST2" and you get the "cue" mix. I can recommend using two different speakers (Speakers A and B): one very good, strong pair of speakers (like my Adam Audio) for super sound - and one "every day" speaker pair like my Presonus Eris 4.5. They are less tiring to listen to. For "Speakers C" I could imagine Auratones or similar, to check the mix.
In addition, the Station V2 has headphone sockets that I can switch between "main" and "cue". The headphone sound is very powerful and cristal clear.
Update after longer use: The volume poti is noisy (especially at very low volume), it is not extreme, but really disturbing in use. I have seen that I am not the only one having this issue - so it seems that Presonus has to act here! I go down to 4 stars overall and 3 stars for quality..... today I removed the noise by spraying a bit of "Electro Contact Reiniger" at the poti axle (after removing the knob, leaving the poti installed)

Nice but
Some nice features. But you can not select no input for headphone. On monitor there is a mute so the need is not that big there. It also is annoying that there is no headphone output on the front, or back. They are on the top. And that create a cable mess. And it also feels a bit quick and dirty since you can not have analog aux and spdif at the same time. And it would be nice with more imputs. I use aux/spidif for my mobile. ST1 is my main DAW. And on ST2 there is a analog mixer with headphone mix from my daw. Other computers like the linux for internet things and my secondary mac, a PS3 and some times my mac book. This a great product but I think I would like to have it non existing big brother. The rack central station is not a option. It is swtich, this is a mixer.

Good product for money
It is a monitor controller and alsa has 4 powerful headphones out. I use it with Apogee Duet & Dynaudio bm6 + Avantone Mixcubes. When I use them with together or by turns on toggle button, I don't hear any crackle&noise etc. Talkback mic is very quality. Do not remember, when you connect a speaker, you must turn up calibrate switch (near input jacks). Thanks Thomann...
