Page 8: Introduction
Introduction The 2Control combines loudspeaker and headphone monitoring in a compact, user-friendly and high quality control device. Any studio based on a digital audio workstation (DAW) can benefit from its impor- tant and essential monitoring functions. The concept of the 2Control is based on a dual-channel operation that allows for connection of two sources, two stereo speaker sets and two headphones. -
Page 9: Speakers Or Headphones
Introduction Crossfeed A new feature of the 2Control is the CROSSFEED control for both head- phone outputs, which was derived from the high-end headphone amplifier Phonitor. From their principle, headphones have the disad- vantage of producing a 180 degree stereo panorama – the CROSSFEED control can be used to adjust a stereo panorama that corresponds to a stereo speaker image. -
Page 10: Applications
Applications The speakers and headphones monitoring center The 2Control combines loudspeaker and headphone monitoring in a compact, user-friendly and high quality control device. Control near- field monitors, full-range speakers and headphone monitoring for two listeners from one central unit! Analog volume control for your DAW A majority of D/A converters and sound cards provide nothing in the way of analog level monitoring control, and this means the necessity of varying signal levels at the converter outputs. -

Page 16: Control Elements
Control Elements IN 1 and IN 2 Switch IN 1 IN 2 With IN 1 and IN 2 you select the source to listen to on speakers and headphones. Like all switches they illuminate after activation so that you can easily see which source is selected. Activation of both switch- es sums the input signals. -

On the other hand, the power amp’s/active speaker’s input sensitivity should be raised if the 83 dB SPL point is reached far before the 60% control level. In cases where regulating power amp/active speaker in-... -
Page 18: Crossfeed
Control Elements Crossfeed The CROSSFEED control interacts with a complex analog circuitry that – simply put – serves to simulate the listening experience from loud- speakers on headphones. The ON switch below the control activates and deactivates the circuitry. CROSSFEED regulation is always applied to both headphone outputs simultaneously and is present at the head- phone outputs only (no effect on the speaker outputs). -

Control Elements Headphone Volume Controls 1 and 2 With these two detended controls you regulate the amplification of the headphone signals. Output and amplification specifications allow operation with a wide variety of headphones from ranges 30 to 600 Ohms. The 2Control provides two separate headphone amplifiers. This excludes mutual influences while VOLUME controls are independent from each other as well as from speaker volume. -
