The DuTCH.audio MC1.1 (formerly MC1) passive monitor-controller is designed around a 64 steps relay-based parallel attenuator. Compared to a standard series-based attenuator or potmeter this approach delivers the most natural and least coloured sound possible. The multifunctional encoder, easy to read display, sturdy push-buttons and the powerful headphones amp makes this the ideal monitoring workhorse for any studio.
