Because such an engineering masterpiece deserves an appropriate optical and func-
tional presence, this control sports a massive, 60 mm diameter aluminum knob. The
scaling is illuminated with 30 blue LEDs on a circular area of 120 mm with a pointer
element from miniature orange LEDs.
4. Metering/RTW Surround Monitor & VUs
To the right of the Monitor Level potentiometer are the switch functions for the VUs
and the RTW Surround Monitor. All functions of the RTW can be controlled remotely.
They are placed next to the Monitor Control potentiometer for easy access, and thus
the mastering engineer does not need to leave his chosen optimal listening posi-
tion.
Please refer to the enclosed RTW manual for further information.
The VUs are likewise custom-made by Yamaki from Japan which manufacture VUs
with optimal ballistic characteristics. The VUs can be calibrated at eight different
reference levels (0 dB/-2/-4/-6/-8/-10/-12/-14 dB), displayed by two seven segment
LED displays. Two dedicated buttons can be used to quickly calibrate the VUs to
0 dB or -10 dB.
The metering always follows the selected signal: Input is displayed as IN, output is
displayed as OU and return is shown as RT by the seven segment LED displays.
Master Fader
The MMC 1 provides three, eight channel and four dual channel global recording
outputs. This fader features the same level control potentiometer as in the Monitor
Level section. With this control‘s extremely fi ne level settings, the engineer can attain
every ounce of recording headroom. The result, thanks to these controls of practically
infi nite resolution, is an unparalleled excellence in dynamic mastering.
Output
The MMC 1‘s reverse provides three parallel 8-channel and four parallel dual channel
recording outputs. For each channel, there is the same 32-step, 0.5 dB trim control as
in the Input section, e g. to compensate for level differences arising from processing
signals through the insert box.
