Designed to deliver the transparent, low-noise audio control expected of Drawmer s MC series controllers, the MC2.1 Monitor Controller is versatile and intuitive, balancing accuracy and fidelity with complex mix checking features for any studio environment. With versatile I/O and dual headphone outputs, you can connect to a wide range of studio gear, including three switchable audio sources, and the controller can be stacked for expanded control as your studio grows.
The MC2.1 sports XLR-1/4 combo and XLR 3-pin stereo pair inputs, along with RCA and 3.5mm inputs, plus three pairs of XLR 3-pin speaker outputs, a dedicated mono/sub XLR output, and a 1/4 talkback output for use with the internal talkback mic. The MC2.1 supports all the mix checking and control functions expected of a robust monitor controller, such as individual speaker control and switching for A/B comparisons, dim, left/right selection or mute, and phase reversal. The rugged steel and aluminum chassis can be screwed to a desk and includes an external AC power adapter with automatic voltage switching for global compatibility.
Accuracy Above All
Whether you re mastering a CD/DVD, recording, checking a mix for balance, doing A/B comparisons, plus a multitude of other tasks, you ll have spent weeks designing the perfect studio environment and a fortune on your studio setup. A monitor controller is central to every recording setup and probably the most important element of the entire signal chain, providing the reference listening signal that enables the user to achieve the optimal mic placements, the perfect balance, ideal EQ, and more.
As such, the MC2.1 delivers transparent and ultralow noise operation for a truly accurate sound reproduction. This is achieved thanks to a linear power supply with a low-hum toroidal transformer, and an internal voltage selector switch for universal mains compatibility.
Powerful, Active Monitor Circuitry
The MC2.1 incorporates four inputs with 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. The active circuit has been designed to faithfully produce the audio signal while removing many of the problems that a passive circuit will bring. In addition, it has a host of mix checking features not often found on other controllers, such as individual left/right cut, as well as two separate headphone amplifiers and a talkback facility, making the MC2.1 a true engineer s tool.
Optional Rack Mounting
While you can easily stack your MC2.1 controllers for greatly expanded control options, you can also rack mount the monitor controller with the 2 RU MCB Rack Mounting Kit to keep your work desk clean and clear. The MCB Rack Mounting Kit contains two side panels/ears, a front facia, and also a lead that brings the AUX input from the back of the MC2.1 to the front panel for easy access. The kit also includes all the necessary screws, an assembly instruction manual, and an Allen key.
