The Radial MC3 Monitor Controller is an
innovative tool designed to make managing audio signals easy in the
studio while adding the convenience of an on-board headphone amplifier.
Enabling you to switch between two sets of powered loudspeakers, the MC3
lets you compare how your mix will translate on different monitors
which in turn will help deliver more convincing mixes to the audience.
The
Radial MC3 Monitor Controller is a studio tool that enables the
engineer to quickly select between reference monitors, subwoofer or
headphones and compare how the mix translates via various playback
systems. Unique to the Radial MC3 is the ability to quickly sum mono for
AM radio compatibility.
And while most monitor switchers are
active, the Radial MC3 is 100% passive. This means that unlike active
switchers that introduce a buffered electronic circuit in between your
recording system and monitors, the Radial MC3 delivers straight wire
performance. This eliminates coloration and distortion for more accurate
monitoring.
The Radial MC3 features an easy access level control
that lets you quickly set playback levels on all speakers. Each output
is equipped with a top-mount 'set & forget' dial to fine tune
outputs for the ideal balance. The sub is augmented with a 180 degree
polarity reverse to help deal with room modes that may cause a frequency
bump in the mix position. A separate Dim switch is also adjustable to
enable the engineer to temporarily drop the playback level without
affecting the mix level settings. To address the ever increasing
popularity of ear buds, the Radial MC3 is equipped with a built-in
headphone amplifier with stereo 3.5mm (?" TRS) output along with two
standard ¼" headphone phone outs to share. The Radial MC3 may be
configured for either balanced or unbalanced setups.
