Monitor & Talkback Controller
Product Description
The advantages of the MTC become especially apparent in combination with modern audio and video production tools such as ProTools™, Nuendo™, Cubase™, Logic™, Deck™ etc. Monitor levels and source management can be handled independently of the software and with virtually no loss in quality. You no longer need to set up additional aux sends for monitoring. In addition, you won‘t have to worry about over- or underdriving the converters due to monitor levels.
One of the MTC‘s biggest advantages is the possibility to manage up to six different stereo input sources: comparing and monitoring is much easier than having to import all of your audio files and set up monitor mixes – not to mention the inevitable A/D-D/A conversions.
SPL‘s renowned electronic balancing circuitry forms the basis for the MTC‘s I/O architecture. Its extended frequency range up to 100 kHz, exceptional dynamic spectrum and excellent common mode rejection ensure specs that exceed SACD standards, as only highest quality analog circuitry can provide.
Last but not least, the MTC‘s rugged and ergonomic desktop enclosure with its slanted front panel harmonizes perfectly with the desktop production environment.
The organizational focus that such essential services bring, coupled with an extraordinary tonal quality, makes possible an unrivaled convenience in DAW-based monitor management – in all areas of signal processing and playback:
- stereo productions/recording studios
- movie and video post production
- video and computer game production
- audio-visual media and multimedia production
The latency-free Cue Mix signal for the musician can be composed of the musician’s track and the track mix. The Talkback communications option via built-in microphone provides a footswitch input for remote control and a separate output with the dry talkback signal. These features mean that monitoring in any DAW-based studio now can be expanded to include the kind of essential functionality that to now has only been available in large analog consoles.
- A fully discrete, analog design dispenses with VCAs, DACs, etc., providing loss-free signal processing
- Six rear-panel stereo inputs (four balanced and two unbalanced sources), balanced XLR outputs for three loudspeaker pairs, slave output
- Monitoring: source and loudspeaker selection, mono, dim, mute, switchable headphone output
- Talkback: built in microphone, separate output, footswitch input
- Cue-Mix: separate output, musician level, mix level and volume controls
The sleek, ergonomic construction makes the MTC perfect for desktop placement – for example, near or under computer screens.
