  • Latency-free analogue signal path
  • Customisable
  • Level indicator L/R with +4, +10 and +18 dBu calibration options
  • Correlation meter for verifying mono-compatibility
  • Two headphone outputs with volume controllers and main cue selector switches
  • Three analogue inputs, one S/PDIF input
  • Three loudspeaker outputs with volume controllers for level calibration
  • Mono summed output for subwoofer or mono monitor
  • Main and cue direct outputs

Switching between different signal sources and monitors is one of the most common tasks in any studio. Ergonomic console design and two clearly structured control levels makes the Palmer MONICON XL the perfect, intuitive nerve centre for all your requirements. Selecting audio sources and loudspeakers is convenient and at the touch of a button.

The Palmer studio monitor controller features three analog stereo inputs, one S/PDIF input and outputs for three monitor pairs, each with its own volume controller for level calibration. A further mono summed full-range output is also available for connecting either a mono monitor or a subwoofer. An exclusive highlight of the MONICON XL is its correlation meter, which displays the phase difference between a stereo signal\’s left and right channels. This facilitates the quick and simple discovery of mono-compatibility errors in mixes. The controller is also customisable to your personal work style.

Its fully analogue audio circuit means that the MONICON XL demonstrates absolutely no latency or signal distortion. Additional features that are a must for any studio make the device far more than simply a monitor controller. Two headphone outputs with volume controllers and main cue selector switches, a cue master controller and an on/off talkback microphone with volume control are all also included. As are a mute button and a dim button, with volume control, that instantly reduces the monitor level by a pre-set amount.

DescriptionThe Nowsonic Shock Stop M is a budget solution for optimizing the sound in your studio. The absorbers are designed to eliminate the transfer of vibrations from your studio speakers to the stand surface. They are therefore a simple and effective way to protect against resonance and provide a more linear transmission. The modular design also means different dispersion angles can be achieved.

CMC2 - Compact Monitor Controller

COMPACT, ACCURATE & AFFORDABLE.

The CMC2 is a compact monitor controller that has been designed to provide the same top quality audio, transparency and accuracy of Drawmer's other monitor controllers, such as the MC2.1 and MC3.1, whilst retaining all the necessary features that the smaller project studio would require without the cost of the advanced features that would seldomly be used. 

Can you trust the audio that your current monitor controller is providing? Is it colouring the sound? For all Drawmer monitor controllers it is imperative that what you record is exactly what you hear. The active circuit has been designed to faithfully produce the audio signal whilst removing many of the problems that a passive circuit will bring. There is one thing that should always be absolutely guaranteed - that you can rely on the accuracy of your monitor controller.

Accurate & Transparent

With the same Drawmer pedigree as the MC2.1, the CMC2 circuit is just as transparent and accurate. It's switches and paralleled custom-quad knobs have excellent channel matching, a smooth feel.

You hear exactly what you've recorded!

Multiple Connections

The CMC2 is very well connected: with 2 Stereo balanced jack inputs, plus a 3.5mm jack for your Smartphone/MP3 Player, with variable level control. It supports 2 sets of stereo monitors plus a sub-woofer, each with individual switches so you can activate them in any order, especially useful for A/B comparisons.

In addition, it has a professional quality headphone output with a separate amplifier and level control, that provide the same audio quality and mix checking as the CMC2 does through the speakers.

Key Mix check features such as Phase Reverse, Mono, Dim & Mute are also included, to enable you to examine the quality of your recordings with ease.

Compact

The CMC2 packs a lot of features into a small package. With a footprint of just 18x16cm and a very low profile the CMC2 won't hog your desk space like some other controllers do. And if your on the move it's small enough to pop into a bag to take anywhere.

Tough & Secure

Whilst being smart and stylish the rugged, all steel enclosure will withstand the knocks and bumps of the studio, and, coupled with the high quality components used, the CMC2 is built to last. In addition, a Kensington security slot provides protection from thieves.

Features:
  • Ultra low noise and transparent circuit design.
  • Source switches can be active in any combination. 3 Inputs in Total - Two on ¼” balanced jacks and One 3.5mm Front Panel Aux for your Smartphone/Mp3 Player.
  • 2x Speakers Plus a Mono Sub can be switched individually & simultaneously or give A/B comparisons.
  • Timed relay protection on all speaker outputs to prevent power up/down bangs.
  • A large volume knob incorporating a parallelled custom quad pot for excellent channel matching and smooth feel.
  • A Headphone Amplifier with Individual Level Controls with easy access to the jack on the front.
  • Front Panel 3.5mm AUX Input with Level Control for connecting MP3 player, smartphone or tablet etc.
  • Mix Checking facilities Include Dim, Phase Reverse and Mono, as well as an easy access Mute switch.
  • Kensington security slot (also called a K-Slot or Kensington lock).
  • Very low profile desktop enclosure with a footprint of just 18x16cm.
  • Stylish and Rugged Enclosure will withstand the knocks of the studio.

Sold in pairs, each PreSonus ISPD-4 isolation pad can be divided into halves and configured in several ways so you can use them with virtually any near-field studio monitors. For small, vertically placed speakers, use half of an isolator per side or employ the full pad, whichever works best. Place two half-pads side-by-side to accommodate larger speakers or horizontal placement.

The speakers shown on the photographs are sold separetely.
