INTRODUCING THE D-MON SERIES 

This chapter introduces the 

D-Mon Series

. 

3.1

 

OVERVIEW 

The 

D-Mon Series

  provides comprehensive monitoring solutions for professional recording, mixing and/or  mastering studios. 

The different processor  models are designed to meet varying needs ranging from simple  stereo loudspeaker setups to more 
demanding surround sound installations. In each case, the processor provides three main functions: an advanced monitoring 
controller, loudspeakers to room tuner (Optimizer

®

) and optional loudness metering (Smart-Meter

®

). 

Operations can be controlled via the D-Mon Control Panel (a web-based GUI, Graphic User Interface), or from a remote device (via 
Avid Eucon or Icon protocols, or General Purpose MIDI). 

D-Mon Processor 

D-Mon Control Panel GUI (common to all models) 

 

Advanced Monitoring Control 

•

 

Monitoring

: source & speaker set selection, volume, mute, dim, talkback, listen-back, headphone and outputs control. 

•

 

Routing Matrix

: any physical input or mix bus can be assigned to any physical output. 

•

 

Internal Mixer

: physical inputs can be mixed to mono/stereo mix buses and routed anywhere. 

•

 

Studio Presets & Session Snapshots

:

 

customize the processor for your installation, and store and recall different monitoring 

arrangements and DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) session setups. 

Loudspeakers to Room Tuning (Optimizer

®

) 

The 

Optimizer

®

 provides digital acoustic correction. The algorithms are included with every processor; the number of Optimizer

 

channels varies across the product range: 

D-Mon|4

 offers four channels; 

D-Mon|6

 offers six channels; and so on. 

•

 

Each Optimizer

®

 channel can be re-assigned via presets to support multiple speaker sets

.

 

•

 

Multiple “sweet spot” presets can be saved for the same room – e.g. mixing seat, producer desk, musicians couch, etc. 

•

 

Advanced parameters meet the needs of different sound engineers - target curve, frequency, time & level alignment, etc.  

•

 

Other functions include down-mixing, graphic EQs, DRC emulation (Dynamic Range Compression), etc. 

Optional Loudness Metering (Smart-Meter

®

) 

The optional 

Smart-Meter

®

 offers one of the most advanced Loudness Metering systems. It complies with 

EBU-R128

 norms and 

other  international  standards,  and is 

timecode-aware

  meaning that updates can follow every tweak made to a mix. Advanced 

session management tools allow loudness data  to be attached to program  files  across  both  playout and server networks, or 
printed ahead of playout to ensure producers are fully informed of compatibility rules.
