Monitor Level
The Monitor Level is controlled with a custom-made eight-tiered potentiometer. The
MMC 2 does not employ DACs, step ladders or VCAs for this function, and the specifi ca-
tions of this potentiometer are substantially better than either of these other options
ever could be – the maximum tolerance is ‹ 0,5 dB over the entire control range. The
control range reaches from -∞ dB to +4 dB.
Master Fader
This fader features the same potentiometer of the Monitor Level for dynamic mastering
purposes and fi ne tuning the overall level from +10 dB to -80 dB.
Each output channel must be activated by the Fader On switch in the respective Output
Trim section to be controlled by the master fader.
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 infi nite resolution, is an
unparalleled excellence in dynamic mastering.
Output Trims
The Output Trims are based on the same high-quality ALPS potentiometers like in the
Input section and the gain range also /-10dB. Each output can be activated or
deactivated separately with the ON switch, the Fader On switch routes each output to
the Master Fader.
