The Monitor And Recording Controller with innovative features and a 32-bit AD/DA converter. A monitor controller with which you can also record. And both in impressive sound quality. Monitoring and recording in highest sound quality with up to 32 bit and 768 kHz. Create perfect mixes on speakers and also on headphones thanks to the Phonitor Matrix. The big analogue volume control offers the perfect control range to adjust the monitoring volume intuitively and precisely. As a full-fledged monitor controller, Control One offers two pairs of outputs for stereo speakers. You can listen to your production via two switchable pairs of speakers. A subwoofer is also switched on and off with speaker pair A. In the middle position of the switch, the speakers are switched off, which is convenient because you don’t have to turn the volume control back. The ratio between the analog line inputs and the digital USB input can be easily adjusted via monitor control. In the centre, all input signals are equally loud. Turned to the left, the analog stereo inputs get louder and the USB input signal gets quieter. Turned from the centre to the right, the reverse happens. Marc One offers two analogue stereo inputs (TRS and RCA) and one digital (USB). The DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) is preferably connected via USB. Other input devices such as CD players, mixers, microphone preamps, synthesizers or analogue tape machines/tape decks can be connected to the analog line inputs. A mixer stage can be activated via DIP switch 2 which mixes the two analogue line inputs together. These can be recorded summed via USB. Here, too, the Marc One sets standards. Marc One uses the premium AK4490, 32-bit DAC with AKM's Velvet Sound. The AK5552 is used as the analogue-to-digital converter and the AK4490 as the digital-to-analog converter. This technology makes the finest details audible thanks to its low-distortion architecture. It supports sampling frequencies up to 768 kHz PCM (16x CD resolution) and DSD (Direct Stream Digital) playback up to DSD4 or DSD256 (11.2 MHz) resolution. Both the AD and DA converters offer 32-bit processing. This qualifies the Marc One for the highest resolution audio recording and playback currently available. Marc One automatically synchronizes to the sampling rate applied to the USB input. No further settings on the device are necessary.
