You  no longer need to set up additional aux sends or an alternative  surround master for monitoring. In addition, you won't have to worry  about over- or underdriving the converters due to monitor levels.  \u003cp\u003eOne of the SMC's biggest advantages is the possibility to manage  several input sources: comparing and monitoring SACD or DVD material is  much easier than having to import all of your audio files and set up  monitor mixes – not to mention the conversion of multichannel audio.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard A\/V receivers are often used for this task. The problem  with this is that the audio has to be either AD\/DA converted or  manipulated by signal-degenerating control circuitry (VCA's, DAC's etc.)  for volume control, so you never hear the unadulterated audio –  especially frustrating when you're working on SACD or DVD-A projects.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to a surround speaker set, a stereo pair can be  connected to and managed by the SMC. A Sub-D input connector provides  six surround and two stereo input channels. Eight additional RCA  connectors allow easy connection of SACD, DVD, CD or DAT players. A  slave output allows the stereo or surround input signal to be routed  directly to a recording device. Volume control is handled by a discrete  six-layer potentiometer and all switching functions by extremely durable  precision pushbuttons.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SPL Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449592901735,"sku":"34188","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/used_34188_1_30724170-fe1b-4e6f-a74d-cd7992f04719.jpg?v=1787089605","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/spl-smc-surround-monitor-controller-8891727-used","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
