MC3.1 – Monitor Controller

Hear the music – not the equipment!

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 auxilary 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 an external mic in addition to the internal, and footswitch operation.

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.

Palmer Monicon, and the volume is right! With Palmer Monicon, your monitor volume is always under control. The passive mini-mixer with the oversized control is inserted between the stereo output of the notebook, PC or interface and an active monitor system and thus permits convenient and precise volume control of the monitors from the workstation. The passive circuitry with only a few components has absolutely no affect on the sound. Mute and mono buttons make it possible to mute the outputs and merge the stereo output signal into a mono master signal. The inputs and outputs of the controller are equipped with XLR connectors and the 3.5mm stereo TRS sockets usually found on computers. Combo input sockets also permit connection with 6.3 mm TRS plugs. Thus the Palmer Monicon is compatible with both professional and consumer equipment. Genuine wood sides make the practical studio tool in its massive powder-coated sheet steel housing an elegant looking "little helper" that is a typical Palmer product.

The Behringer Monitor2USB is a monitor controller and USB audio interface designed for home and project studios. It pairs a large VCA control knob for your overall output level with the ability to select among three sets of active studio monitors, as well as two sets of headphones. With its USB jack, you can connect your computer straight to the device so that you may play music from your digital library, or you can mix straight from your DAW. Through its XLR inputs, you can route analog sound, balanced or unbalanced. 

The VCA amplifier provides several benefits. For example, it allows DC current to flow through the volume control, rather than the audio signal, and thus, bypasses any DC-related signal degradation. This also helps in making sure your stereo image doesn’t drift as you crank the volume knob; anyone who’s experienced in monitor controllers knows this can be a problem—a problem mitigated in the Monitor2USB. The volume knob itself is quite large, and this too serves a function: Such a large size allows for more precision as you turn the control, so you can achieve minutely specific level adjustments, which might be necessary as you switch from monitoring post-production projects to music mixes.

You can use its three sets of outputs in a variety of ways—for instance, you can hook up two monitors and a subwoofer, or three sets of monitors, one of which can serve as your dedicated mono check. On the headphone outputs, a crossfeed control mimics the stereo experience of sitting in front of your speakers by feeding a miniscule amount of signal from the right to the left and vice versa. Amongst other benefits, this feature helps mitigate ear fatigue over long sessions. Mono and Dim buttons are on hand to help you in the mixing process. Included with the Monitor2USB are a power cable and a full, complimentary copy of Tracktion—a DAW to help you in your recording, editing, and mixing journeys.

Master your domain with the Behringer Xenyx CONTROL2USB studio monitor controller. Whether recording, mixing, or mastering, the CONTROL2USB places you firmly in command with master volume, talkback, source selection, and monitor control. Easily toggle between up to three sets of studio monitors and four stereo input sources. There's even a monitor mix input for your DAW! Keep the lines of communication open between you and the artist with the built-in talkback function. Mono, mute, and dim functions are right at your fingertips. The CONTROL2USB employs VCA technology, ensuring precise level adjustments. The infinitely useful Behringer Xenyx CONTROL2USB studio monitor controller also functions as a USB audio interface. Behringer Xenyx CONTROL2USB Studio Monitor Controller at a Glance:
  • Ample I/O provides monitor options galore
  • VCA technology ensures precise level adjustments
  • Convenient built-in USB audio interface
Ample I/O provides monitor options galore Your mix isn't complete unless it sounds great in the studio, car, and on bass-challenged speakers and earphones. The Behringer Xenyx CONTROL2USB toggles between up to three sets of studio monitors, equipping your studio with monitor options galore. Utilize high-quality nearfields to get your mix started. Add or remove a subwoofer to check your low end. Then reference your mix with cube-style speakers. There's also a monitor mix input for your DAW. A pair of individually adjustable headphone outputs provides even more monitoring flexibility. The CONTROL2USB accommodates up to four stereo input sources, so setting up reference sources is a piece of cake. VCA technology ensures precise level adjustments Because it employs high-end Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) technology instead of inexpensive resistive faders, the Behringer Xenyx CONTROL2USB is incredibly precise. The engineers at Sweetwater have found that you can set levels quickly and accurately with the CONTROL2USB's large control knob. Make minute adjustments with ease. The CONTROL2USB actually controls the voltage that drives the amplifier rather than simply controlling how much signal passes to it. The result is faithful sound reproduction that you can trust. Convenient built-in USB audio interface The Behringer Xenyx CONTROL2USB's built-in USB audio interface creates an excellent centerpiece for your studio without requiring additional hardware or drivers. Just plug into one of your computer's spare USB ports and get to work.
