Product details

The SPL Audio MTC Mk2 is a professional analog monitor controller designed for recording studios, mixing rooms, and mastering environments. Combining precise speaker monitoring, flexible source routing, dual headphone amplifiers, and an integrated talkback system, it provides comprehensive control over studio communication and playback. Its premium analog circuitry, extended headroom, and built-in Phonitor Matrix make it possible to evaluate mixes on multiple loudspeaker systems and headphones while maintaining a reliable monitoring workflow.

Key Features

Four Stereo Analog Inputs: Three balanced stereo inputs via 6.35 mm TRS connections and one unbalanced stereo RCA input accommodate audio interfaces, converters, and reference sources.
Three Stereo Speaker Outputs: Connect up to three pairs of studio monitors, with individual switches for convenient speaker selection and comparison.
Dedicated Subwoofer Output: A mono-summed, full-frequency-range output supports a subwoofer or mono reference speaker.
Dual Premium Headphone Amplifiers: Two independent headphone outputs with individual level controls support producer and artist monitoring.
SPL Phonitor Matrix: Integrated headphone crossfeed processing helps reproduce a more natural stereo image and improves headphone-based mixing decisions.
Integrated Talkback System: A built-in condenser microphone enables clear communication with performers in the recording room.
Artist Cue Mix: Input C can receive a dedicated artist headphone mix, which can be routed to the second headphone output and the rear-panel Cue Out.
Multiple Monitoring Modes: Stereo, Mono, phase inversion, and left/right channel swapping help evaluate mono compatibility, phase relationships, stereo placement, and Mid/Side components.
Dim and Speaker Mute: Dim attenuates the monitoring level by 10 dB, while dedicated mute controls allow speaker and headphone outputs to be silenced.
Meter Out: Provides a monitoring signal for an external stereo meter without the signal level being affected by the main volume control.
Precision Analog Volume Control: A large 45 mm aluminium control knob enables smooth and accurate adjustment of listening levels.
Extended Analog Headroom: The internal ±18 V operating voltage supports signal levels up to +22.5 dBu, helping maintain clean operation with demanding professional signals.
Studio-Ready Construction: Manufactured in Germany with a robust enclosure and a power supply designed for international mains voltages.
