Control

Applications

The speakers and headphones monitoring center

The 

2

Control  combines  loudspeaker  and  headphone  monitoring  in  a 

compact, user-friendly and high quality control device. Control near-
field monitors, full-range speakers and headphone monitoring for two 
listeners from one central unit!

Analog volume control for your DAW

A majority of D/A converters and sound cards provide nothing in the 
way of analog level monitoring control, and this means the necessity of 
varying signal levels at the converter outputs. The result is a lowered 
bit rate in the monitoring signal, which can lead to commensurate loss 
of audio quality.  

Two excellent headphone amplifiers

Friends,  colleagues,  customers:  in  the  end  there’s  always  someone 
else who wants to listen in, too. With the 

2

Control you also have the 

second headphone under control – and can rely on first-class quality.

Extend the range of headphone applications

At  home,  nocturnal  engineers  now  have  an  alternative  to  full  range  
monitors for judging stereo imaging in their mixes. Furthermore, the 
headphone  monitoring  is  not  restricted  for  analytical  listening  only, 
but can serve as full stereo monitoring alternative. And the compact 
housing makes it easy to transport the 

2

Control to have familiar moni-

toring conditions at foreign places. 

High-grade balancing stages

We  use  custom  made  balancing  stages  to  drive  long  distances  reli-
ably and for first class common mode rejection values. Note that only  
balanced connections exclude hum and interferences. We recommend 
employing balanced connections wherever possible – especially con-
nections over long distances (e. g. to speakers). 

Separate mono speaker output

In addition to two stereo speaker sets you can also connect a mono 
speaker or a subwoofer.

Tip for working with headphones: Listen with subwoofer to enjoy the 
physical impact of the low end.
