C1-4AS-4XP Stereo Monitor Controller

C1-4AS-4XP Stereo Monitor Controller

The C1-4AS-4XP is our smallest C1 console. It is ideal for entry-level dual domain production monitoring. It has 4 analogue and 4 digital inputs, and manages 4 speaker outputs.  You can select any source, analogue or digital to send to a record output.  It can be expanded to a larger C1 at any time to increase it's capabilities.

The C1-4AS-4XP has these features:

IO

• 4 analogue sources
• 4 digital sources
• 1 analogue record output
• 1 digital record output
• 1 digital send to internal or external monitor DA
• 1 digital send to digital meter
  
• 3 speaker outputs plus headphones
  

Monitor sources

• Choose between 4 analogue and 4 digital sources to listen to
• Choosing a digital source automatically inserts a monitor DAC without you having to do anything else
• This monitor DA can be one of our excellent internal DA's, or your preferred external one.
  
• Easily apply a monitor only trim to any or every source. The trim is calibrated in 0.25dB steps, so you can A/B any source to any other, removing any level differences- hear the difference, not the level
• Each source has a labelled button, and you can print out your own labels to label them with their proper names (eg DAW, or Sadie)

Monitor Controller

• Choose what to listen to with the monitor selector and send it to one of 3 speakers, or a set of headphones
• There is a powerful internal headphone amplifier available
  
• Each speaker has it's own level control, so you can switch between speaker sets with no jump in volume
• The volume control has coarse steps below - 50dB, then fine 1dB steps from -50 to 0dB, so you can accurately adjust the level.
• All levels are displayed on the panel LCD, so you can see where you are and recall levels easily
• You can calibrate the controller to work to relative dB levels, with 0dB as your normal setting. This lets you easily compare mix loudness, and also operate Bob Katz's K system calibration if you want
• You can make the nearfield speaker work independently, great for use with a external subwoofer
• You can add our -BM bass manager option to get proper filtered outputs for stereo main speakers and stereo or mono subwoofers
• There is individual speaker Left and Right Cuts(mutes) as well as a master cut (mute)
• There is a programmable Dim switch, where you can adjust the Dim level
• There are a range of mono functions: Mono Sum and Mono Difference - great for listening to the out of phase audio
• There is a phase flip function
• There is an analogue meter output for metering all sources

Transfer Selector

• Select any of the monitor source machines to be output to a record output
• The analogue sources go to an analogue output, and the digital sources go to a digital output
  
• The source is shown on the LCD panel, and the Tfr source button will monitor it

Physical

• 1 wide front panel units, fit into a 4RU 19" space, or a moveable wooden pod
• 1RU of remote rack houses all of the electronics
• Supplied with 18' (6M) of connecting cable from the racks to the front panels
