Fully passive attenuator

The MCC1 features a fully passive 64-step relay-ladder attenuator with 1 dB steps. Its parallel design maintains consistent impedance across the entire range, delivering exceptional transparency, precision, and recallability.

4 stereo inputs

The MCC1 is equipped with four stereo balanced inputs, with inputs 3 and 4 featuring individual +/-10 dB gain trims that are easily accessible from the front panel.

3 stereo outputs and direct out

The MCC1 is equipped with three stereo balanced outputs, each featuring individual gain trims, along with a balanced pre-attenuator direct output that also functions as a talkback output.

Mute, dim, mono, diff and swapL/R functions

The MCC1 is equipped with essential functions like individual mute buttons for Left and Right, (programmable) dim, mono, diff and swapL/R.

Pushbuttons, knobs and display

The central knob and display provide intuitive access to all settings, including attenuator control. Dedicated pushbuttons offer direct control of inputs, outputs, Mute L/R, Dim, Mono, Diff, and Swap L/R functions.

Headphones amp

The MCC1 features a powerful Class-A headphone amplifier with its own dedicated gain control, conveniently located on the front panel.

Talkback

The powerful and highly configurable talkback function on the MCC1 enables seamless communication from the control room to the recording booth.

Remote control and presets

The MCC1 supports remote control from any (mobile) device on the same network, along with user-defined presets and customizable input and output naming.

The MCC1 is the ideal monitoring workhorse for any music-studio
