Excellent monitor control with monitor matrix and USB Pro-level projects require a flexible monitoring chain, which the SPL Marc One provides. This excellent-sounding monitor and recording controller includes switchable outputs for two pairs of speakers as well as a subwoofer output, ensuring that your mixes translate. It accepts two analog stereo input sources and one digital source via USB, all of which are routed directly to a line-level output when chosen. The Marc One contains three monitoring modes that allow you to painstakingly test your mixes and masters, as well as a high-quality headphone amplifier with SPL’s renowned Phonitor Matrix. The SPL Marc One belongs in the middle of your studio. Your projects will appreciate you for this. Everything you need for complete monitoring The Marc One has everything you need for complete monitoring. You may test your creations using two switchable pairs of speakers and a subwoofer that can be turned on and off with speaker pair A. Two analog stereo sources and a digital source may be connected, which is plenty to hear your mix and reference recordings – something the professionals here strongly advise. Your selected input signal is sent straight to Marc One’s line-level output, allowing it to loop across devices without losing any output. In addition, three monitoring modes are available: stereo, mono, and channel swap. Experience the Phonitor Matrix Speakers and headphones convey music in very different ways. That is why music mixed for headphones does not “sound right” on speakers (or vice versa). The SPL Marc One levels the playing field with three settings: crossfeed, speaker angle, and center level. In Marc One, the Centre Level is set to -1dB and the Speaker Angle at 30 degrees, which SPL has established to be the most prevalent real-world setting. The Crossfeed option controls the crosstalk between the left and right channels, known as the inter-aural level difference. The CrossFeed’s intensity may be adjusted using a front-panel potentiometer. Built with top-drawer components The Marc One, like other SPL products, solely employs high-quality analog components. The results are astounding, with a frequency range of 10Hz to 200kHz, 121dBu dynamic range, -99dBu self-noise, and 0.002% overall harmonic distortion. Its USB interface is equipped with an AK4490 converter chip, allowing sampling rates of up to 768kHz. Its headphone amplifier’s output stage is a push-pull Class AB design with enough power to drive a wide range of today’s popular headphones. The Marc One contains a 12V plug-in power supply unit as well as a secondary internal power source that provides /-17 volts for the unit’s analog audio components, allowing for input gain of up to 22dBu.
