The SPL Surround Monitor Controller (SMC) is a one-point analog volume control and switching matrix for system-independent 5.1 surround and stereo monitoring for essentially any audio application:

Features

• Surround and stereo production
• DVD-V, DVD-A, SACD and DTS authoring
• Film and video postproduction
• Video and game production
• A/V and multimedia production
• Audiophile home entertainment systems

The advantages of the SMC become especially apparent in combination with modern audio and video production tools such as ProTools™, Nuendo™, Cubase™, Logic™, Deck™ etc. Monitor levels and source management can be handled independently of the software and with virtually no loss in quality. You no longer need to set up additional aux sends or an alternative surround master for monitoring. In addition, you won't have to worry about over- or underdriving the converters due to monitor levels.

One of the SMC's biggest advantages is the possibility to manage several input sources: comparing and monitoring SACD or DVD material is much easier than having to import all of your audio files and set up monitor mixes – not to mention the conversion of multichannel audio.

Standard A/V receivers are often used for this task. The problem with this is that the audio has to be either AD/DA converted or manipulated by signal-degenerating control circuitry (VCA's, DAC's etc.) for volume control, so you never hear the unadulterated audio – especially frustrating when you're working on SACD or DVD-A projects.

The SMC's rugged and ergonomic steel-blue desktop enclosure with its slanted front panel harmonizes perfectly with the desktop production environment and can be placed exactly where control is needed.

Along with the quality of service that we endeavour to deliver, we work hard by talking to our suppliers and by constantly checking our prices against our competitors to ensure that we can offer the best prices on like-with-like products within the UK. Unfortunately, no store can guarantee the best prices on all products at all times due to fluctuations on exchange rates, stock availability and other factors but we are always keen to match or beat the best prices where we can.

If you have seen a better price, please send us the details and we will try to match or beat the price for you.

We cannot promise to match all prices but will get back to you to let you know whether or not we can.

We will not match prices were the competitor is out of stock. We will only match prices on new items, not ex-display or secondhand.
