Monitor sources

• 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

• Each speaker has it's own level control, so you can switch between speaker sets with no jump in volume

• 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
