CHAPTER 1
MC3.1
Monitor Controller
Building on the success of the MC2.1, the MC3.1 Monitor Controller is just as
accurate and transparent and of the same build quality. It can still faithfully reproduce
what has been recorded without colouring the sound, but comes with a much
expanded feature set, including more inputs, better control, extended channel
routing and a desk top 'wedge' form factor.
Additions include a combined digital AES/SPDIF (24 bit/192kHz) input, giving a
total of 5 individually switchable sources, including a front panel auxiliary input with
level control for the easy connection of your mp3 player, smartphone or tablet. Full
cue mix facilities, with level control, provide separate source selection for main or
cue outputs and the two headphone amplifiers, so the artist can listen to a
completely different mix to the engineer, for example. A dedicated cue mix output is
also available.
A secondary preset volume control on the front provides repeatable calibrated
output level for the monitors, so that at the flick of a switch the engineer can hear the
mix at the same predetermined volume, time after time, without having to
meticulously adjust controls.
The MC3.1 incorporates three stereo balanced speaker outputs, plus a dedicated
mono speaker/sub-woofer output each with individual left/right trims under the unit
to provide complete control over level matching. Furthermore each can be switched
individually and simultaneously and in any order. You can listen to multiple speakers
with the same sub-woofer, or turn the sub-woofer off altogether.
Other improvements include additional mix checking capabilities, which now
incorporate low, mid, high solo switches to hear how the lows bleed into the mid,
or the stereo width of each, for example, and also the ability to swap the left and
right channels. The talkback has been expanded to include footswitch operation
and an external mic in addition to the internal.
