Our fully featured studio monitoring system contains a Control unit and Main 19'' rack mount unit. The Control Unit is an ergonomically designed desktop box with easy readable digital display, TALKBACK function and big analog VU meters. It sends commands to the Main Unit through a standard network RJ-45 cable with a length of up to 10 meters. Signal routing in the McTWO is achieved by using 25 sealed mechanical relays (instead of active IC's), maintaining a minimal signal path design wherein extraneous electronics are hard-wire bypassed. Using relays ensures the most transparent signal path maximizing dynamic range, frequency range, and headroom, while minimizing noise and coloration. The McTWO uses the highest quality passive components including high grade 1% tolerance metal film resistors, multi-element potentiometers and ultra-durable connectors to deliver the highest sonic performance.

Volume control built as relay array and 1% tolerance resistors provide you with accurate stereo image on all volume range with 1dB resolution. Three analog (ΒΌ'' balanced TRS) and one digital (AES or SPDIF) inputs can be independently routed to the studio monitors and the CUE send for live room head phones. Three speaker outs (ΒΌ'' balanced TRS) armed with out hand made transformers provide you with true balanced output and superior sound. Each speaker output has an independent gain adjustment so you are able to calibrate your speakers to the same level.

The McTWO has an onboard omni-directional condenser TALKBACK microphone which is routed through the CUE outputs for communication between artist and engineer. The Main Unit is equipped with an External TALKBACK XLR socket which is able to use any dynamic microphone as TALKBACK microphone and not just an internal one. The TALKBACK gain for both internal and external microphones can be adjusted by trim potentiometer on the front panel of the Main Unit. With McTWO you are able to connect your studio monitoring system to one of two available digital inputs - AES or SPDIF. Digital Input Selector and "Lock" LED located on front panel of Main Unit.

High quality headphone amplifier in Main Unit allows you to listen to both paths – the main monitors and the CUE output, toggled by the push button on the Control Unit. The Headphone Volume potentiometer is located on the front panel of the Main Unit.

The balanced version of the same classic McOne passive! Utilizing high quality passive components, the New Old Sound McOne-B is an affordable monitoring solution that brings a vintage style elegance to your mixing desk, and all the modern detail you expect. There are other passive monitoring devices on the market, but McOne-B addresses the combination of balanced and unbalanced gear, as well as maintaining a steady left / right stereo balance no matter the location of the high quality ALPS pot. Its passive operation also means it adds zero noise of its own. McOne-B (the "B" means balanced) is our most solid design yet in a passive design, allowing both balanced and unbalanced intput devices to more easily exist side by side in one setup. DAW outputs, mixer feeds, CD players, iPods etc are cleanly routed in and out with the flick of a switch (choose between 3 inputs). You can then route any of those inputs to 3 balanced outputs for a multiple speaker setup without glitches and pops, for a clean and unhindered listening experience. When mixing it is very important to know how your stereo mix translates to mono, enabling you to check for phase issues etc. No problem with the McOne-B, simply choose between stereo and mono at the flip of a switch. Trying to talk in the control room or just needing a break is easy also, just select mute or dim (-20dB dim value) to eliminate or lower the volume signal sent to the three outputs.

MONE - We'd like to present our Twin All FET discrete Class A Microphone Preamp and DI. Design based on cascode topology with home-brewed transformers on Input and Output. Preamp has two cascades of amplification, first one is the main gain stage and the second one is the output booster. The Gain of Preamp controlled by the 12-step rotary switch reaches up to +70dB.

Output Volume control located between the first amplification stage and output booster. Two HPF 40 and 80 Hz passive LC filters provide great sonic behavior when engaged. The DI High-Z instrument input automatically activates if PL plug inserted, at the same time the XLR microphone input on back panel is disconnected. Both HPF can be used when the preamp is used as DI. All necessary Microphone Preamp functions such us -20dB pad, phase invention, +48V Phantom supply for condenser Microphone are controlled from the front panel.

The special about M One preamp is our transformer. We carefully collect all available knowledge form old masters, classic books and our own mistakes. As a result our transformers are superior sounding, which you will notice immediately. Our Microphone Input transformers utilize high grade 80% Ni-Fe alloy core with extremely low distortion.
