COMPARISON OF MODELS
The
D-Mon
model describes the number of available
Optimizer
®
channels. Also, there are variations in the amount of I/O, and the
internal summing and routing capabilities. The differences are summarized in the table below. Note that each model has been
designed with the following applications in mind:
D-Mon|4:
for studios (recording, mixing, mastering) where two stereo speaker sets would be the Main and Alternate selections.
D-Mon|6:
for post-production studios where one surround (5.1) speaker set is mostly in use. Additional stereo setups or any
arrangement of six speakers can be easily stored and recalled.
D-Mon|8:
for studios producing 7.1 programs or working simultaneously with one 5.1 and one stereo speaker set.
D-Mon|12:
for 3D mixing rooms producing programs in 7.4.1 formats such as Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D and DTS-X.
