Master Pro Station monitor riser has a built-in soundbar
Cooler Master has unveiled an innovative addition to its product line at CES 2024: the Pro Station monitor riser. This device isn’t just a sturdy stand for your monitor; it also integrates a soundbar, a touchscreen, and RGB underglow, making it a unique offering in the market.
Innovative Design and Features
The Pro Station’s design, though not entirely unique, stands out with its solid aluminum build and Cooler Master’s distinct branding. It’s more than just a monitor riser; it’s a multi-functional hub with:
- 20W Speakers: A built-in soundbar for enhanced audio quality.
- Full-Color Touchscreen: For easy control over various functions.
- USB SST Mode: Allowing seamless switching between a laptop (via USB-C) and a PC.
- Qi-Enabled Wireless Charging Pad: Conveniently placed on the top for easy access.
- Multiple Ports: Including two USB 3.0 Type-A, two USB-C, an SD card reader, and a headphone jack.
Connectivity and Limitations
The Pro Station boasts impressive connectivity options:
- Back I/O Ports: Two HDMI 2.1 ports, USB-C, Ethernet, and two USB 2.0 Type-A ports.
- Four Power Outlets: Located on the back left side for additional devices.
However, it’s designed primarily for single monitor use. Despite its size, it’s not intended for multiple monitors, as this would obstruct the charging pad and complicate input switching. It supports monitors up to 26.45 pounds, ruling out some ultra-wide models like the 49-inch Samsung Odyssey OLED G9.
World’s First Riser with Built-in Soundbar
Cooler Master claims the Pro Station is the first of its kind to integrate a soundbar. While it could be ideal for those looking to streamline their desk setup, the actual quality of the speakers remains to be fully tested.
