When it’s time to get down to the
business of recording or mixing, you
want the ultimate sound quality from
your monitoring system – and the last
thing you’ll want is to crawl around
under your desk running cables. The
MONITOR2USB gets you o your knees
and puts VCA-controlled Volume,
Source selection, Phones and Monitor
control right at your ngertips. With
the incredible MONITOR2USB you
can select from 3 sets of active studio monitors, 2 di erent stereo sources,
plus a USB input for your DAW – to create powerful, custom monitor mixes
– all in pristine, audiophile-grade sound quality.
Voltage Controlled Ampli ers
While MONITOR2USB’s Volume control is
mechanically similar to an analog control, its
use of Voltage Controlled Ampli ers (VCA)
provides several major bene ts. First, since
a DC current ows through the volume
control (instead of the audio signal) there is
no degradation in sound quality, and none of
the pops and crackles typically produced by
an audio-taper volume control. That current is
what actually controls the levels of the separate
left and right ampli ers. Second, both the left
and right channels remain proportionately
accurate to their input levels. Third, better
left/right channel separation is maintained,
because there are no audio signals present at
the volume control. And nally, you get amazingly precise and repeatable level settings
you can count on.

Sometimes Bigger is Better!
Small knobs make for low precision. Conversely, the bigger the knob is, the higher the precision.
Think of a control knob as a circle. On a small circle/knob the distance from one degree to the next
is very small, making it di cult to dial-in perfection. On our really big knob, the distance between
degrees of the circle is much larger, allowing you to make high-precision adjustments with ease.
The MONITOR2USB lets you set levels fast and accurately, which is of utmost importance when it
comes to your mastering projects.
Built-in USB Connectivity
The high-quality, built-in USB audio interface lets you connect directly to your computer and its
digital library, creating the ultimate sound source control center – no additional hardware required.
More Monitor Options
In the golden age of recording, engineers had to make the mix sound great in just two places, the
studio and the car. When you consider the acoustic environments and the equipment used in each,
it’s not as easy as it sounds. Today’s computer-based recordings have to sound great in even more
situations, such as MP3 players, podcasts and other bass-challenged systems – so experiencing your
mix through as many speaker systems as possible is more essential than ever. MONITOR2USB lets
you switch between up 2 pairs of studio monitors, listen through vintage-style small monitors (such
as our C5A or C50A), add a subwoofer – or any combination at the mere press of a button.
