20 May 2022
For years, recording and mastering studios, film, post and broadcast facilities, have relied on TC’s monitor controllers using units such as Clarity X, System 6000, BMC2 and Level Pilot. Now with Monitor Pilot, TC Electronics offers flexibility, transparent connectivity and direct access to volume level and stereo speaker selection right at your fingertips.
The controller can connect up to three stereo speaker sets on fully balanced, 22 dBu line level XLR connectors, as well as a pair of headphones on a ¼” TRS jack connector on the front panel. On the input side, another pair of balanced XLR connectors to connect to the main output from your audio interface. There is also the option of connecting media devices via the 1/8” mini jack connector on the front panel, which takes balanced as well as unbalanced signals depending on the device.
The Monitor Pilot is all-analog solution, so is completely computer independent. Its wired remote control combines a tactile interface with a tiny footprint and a solid rubber base. The I/O box can be mounted above or below the desk for access to the headphones output and 1/8” mini jack input.
