Passive Monitor Controller- Take 2

Submitted by Link555 on Wed, 03/03/2021 - 06:09

Some time ago, I sold my Crane Song Avocet (which was awesome). I was doing less and less music work and more and more electronics, so it was time to simplify. I built a very simple completely passive monitor controller with just the bare minimum features. It was just for me, so it was not pretty but functional. It has a stepped attenuator, polarity, L& R mutes and Mono.

Monitor Controller by Esi - the MoCo.

Today I recieved my MoCo, a monitor controller from the German manufacturer Esi. It is passive and can handle two stereo sources and two pairs of monitors.

It sounds very neutral, and is extremely quiet. It also has L/R swap functionality, mute and mono. Two things to consider: it has no status lights whatsoever and the housing is made of sturdy plastic.

Monitor Controller Recomendation

I'd like to improve my monitoring setup, and one of the things I'd like to have is a Mid/SIDE listening feature, so I'd like to have a controller that allows me to check mid or side content right with a button push.

Using two different monitors ?

Submitted by William Boulanger on Wed, 03/30/2016 - 15:29

I recently bought a second-hand KRK Rokit 5 g2 and a Yorkville YSM2p. Overall, they sound really good but also a bit different. Is there anything I can do to make two different monitors sound ""the same"" or better than they are right now.

I just got HD 10. I know HAHA I know. So aaaanyway I installed the HD system and now need a monitor controller. Im using the alternate inputs on the Digi 003 as a monitor controller right now in the mean time. What do you use and what would you give it on a scale of 1-10 and why? Im not going to get a 5.1 controller right yet so think stereo.
