Product details

The SPL Audio 2Control is a compact, fully analog monitoring controller designed for professional recording studios, mixing environments, and music production setups. It provides precise control over studio monitors and headphones, allowing users to switch between two stereo audio sources, monitor through two pairs of stereo speakers, and connect a subwoofer or mono loudspeaker. Its integrated headphone amplifiers and adjustable Crossfeed function help create a more natural stereo listening experience, making it easier to evaluate mixes on headphones and achieve reliable translation to loudspeaker playback.

Key Features
