Immersive audio formats such as Dolby Atmos and Auro 3D are becoming de rigueur, and if your mastering studio isn't complaint, you stand to miss out on lucrative bookings. We have the answer: the SPL MC16 Mastering Monitor Controller. Enabling you to monitor up to 16 channels of reference-grade audio, the MC16 features the world’s first 16-gang precision potentiometer, custom designed for use in the MC16. Seamless integration of multichannel monitoring into a stereo mastering environment is quite a trick; that's why SPL designed the MC16 for pairing with their superb DMC stereo mastering console. The DMC/MC16 combo allows your mastering studio to operate in all current audio playback formats at the same state-of-the-art quality level — all without having to re-connect speakers.
The benefits of 120V Rail Technology
SPL's 120V Rail Technology lets the MC16 run on an operating voltage of 120 volts — twice that of discrete op-amps and four times that of semiconductor operational amplifiers — in order to achieve superior technical and sonic performance. On the technical side, 120V Rail Technology optimizes headroom and dynamic range — which manifests sonically in the effortless resolution of fine details and overall a confident, relaxed rendition of program material. Music sounds completely natural, while listening fatigue is dramatically reduced.
