Each pair has its individual switch. Thus, multiple selection is also possible. The SUB switch can be used to switch an additional subwoofer on and off. The SUB can be combined with any speaker pair. The subwoofer output sends a mono summed signal with full frequency range. Alternatively, a mono monitor speaker can be connected to the SUB output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMONITORING MODES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMTC Mk2 allows three different monitoring modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a standard, the mix can be monitored in stereo. Mono compatibility can be checked in mono. The phase of the signal can be reversed via the phase inversion switch Ø. A special feature is the third mode – the channel swap function: LR SWAP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLR SWAP reverses the stereo image. Left becomes right and right becomes left. This is especially time-saving when you are monitoring samples in video dubbing that should match a scene with direction of movement. If the direction is not correct, you usually have to load the sample into the DAW to switch channels. LR SWAP allows channel swapping directly in the monitor controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy using the MONO and the phase invert switch in combination, it is possible to only monitor the M or S signal. When “Mono mode” and phase inversion is active, only the S signal is played back. If the phase inversion is switched off, the Mono signal corresponding to the M signal is played back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeparate monitoring of the M and S signals has become a standard for many mixing and mastering engineers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDIM AND MUTE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBesides the DIM switch for a quick attenuation of the monitoring volume by 10 dB, the MTC Mk2 also offers the option of completely switching off all speaker outputs with the SP MUTE switch. This is useful, for example, when monitoring via a pair of speakers with a subwoofer. So only one switch has to be pressed to turn off this combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf an error occurs in the DAW and a full level noise signal is output from the computer, activating the mute function protects the connected equipment and the hearing from damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the SP MUTE, there is also an HP MUTE. This deactivates the headphone outputs of the MTC Mk2. (This does not apply to headphone output HP 2 when CUE MIX is activated).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePERFECTLY ADJUSTED\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt a regular listening volume (e.g. 83 dB SPL at the monitoring spot), the volume control should be in the one o’clock position. This gives you an ideal control range for listening at quieter or louder volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf active loudspeakers or power amplifiers are very sensitive, the playback can already be quite loud when the volume control is in the first third of its control range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eActivating the -6 dB and\/or the -10 dB DIP switch (DIP 2 \u0026amp; DIP 3) accordingly attenuates the output level, to use the ideal range of the volume control. If DIP 2 and DIP 3 are set to on, the result is a level attenuation of approximately 13 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHEADPHONE OUTPUT STAGE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MTC Mk2 delivers full headphone sound – twice!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe output stage of the headphone amplifiers is designed as a push-pull amplifier in Class AB mode. The bipolar transistors share the amplification of the positive and negative half-waves, which produces a higher gain and a higher output voltage than in Class A operation, where only one transistor amplifies both half-waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe output stage transistors are thermally coupled and thus run particularly coherently, which contributes to a consistent and stable sound image. The power supply has a buffer circuit with low source resistance, ensuring generous current reserves even when operating low-impedance headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth headphone amplifiers feature the Phonitor Matrix. (If CUE MIX is active, only the producer hears the headphone signal with Phonitor Matrix. The artist hears their headphone mix without Phonitor Matrix).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAnalog inputs \u0026amp;
