Welcome

and thank you for choosing the SMC ..

The Surround Monitor Controller SMC . is an analog studio monitor controller for . and stereo sources.

Each of the two balanced . Inputs and the two balanced Stereo Inputs can be routed to the balanced . Speaker Out-

put. The L/R signals of the selected input can optionally be routed to the Alternate Speaker Output. With the headphone

amplifier you can monitor the L/R of the selected input as well as single channels of the . Inputs.

The eight-ganged potentiometer controls the volume of all channels in the analog domain – no control circuits like VCAs

or digital attenuators are used.

The SMC . is built in high-quality analog technique, which ensures a linear frequency response up to  kHz as

well as an outstanding dynamic range.

Stereo Inputs

If one of the Stereo Inputs is selected, the stereo signal is

routed to the . Speaker Outputs L and R.

Additionally you can add the Sub Out by pressing the LFE

button.

The Sub Out provides the full-range mono sum of the

left and right stereo signal. (Bass management is not

included.)

Volume

The eight-ganged potentiometer is exclusively manufactured for the SMC .. It

controls the volume of all channels in the analog domain – no control circuits

like VCAs or digital attenuators are used.

The . Speaker Output, the Alternative Speaker Output and Sub Out are regu-

lated in a range from  and - dB.
