TC Electronic BMC-2 Monitor Station

Description

BMC-2 is a dedicated digital-to-analog converter and high-quality 'hands-on' monitor control that's an ideal solution, no matter how your audio production or monitoring setup is based - be it digital or analog. We realize that predictable, ultra-low-latency speaker and headphone control is an important part of your production process, and with BMC-2 such luxury is always available to you - regardless of the state of the computer at the heart of your system. No computer needed, this handy self-contained desktop unit can be operated without a Mac or PC, offering you instant and practical control of sound levels. As well as controlling the listening level, BMC-2 allows you to switch between three digital input sources - S/PDIF, AES3, TOS and ADAT, and confirm if those inputs are synchronous or not. It interfaces directly with all new Macs and most PCs used for audio production - just attach the supplied 12V DC power adaptor.

Key Features

• High-definition digital-to-analog converter and monitor controller gives you practical hands-on control and offers calibrated referencing and jitter-reduction technology
• Self-contained desktop unit provides predictable, ultra-low-latency speaker and headphone control for your digital or analog setup so you can have instant and reliable command of sound levels whether you are using a computer or any other source
• Calibrated listening for both speaker sets and your headphones plus user-definable reference levels give you reference-level monitoring across all your outputs at the push of a button
• Precision re-clocking of all inputs and JET technology originally developed for the SYSTEM 6000 offers impressive high-performance jitter rejection
• iCheck input integrity-checking on a selected input reveals whether your signal has been spatially compromised, such as from data-reduction artifacts
• Easily switch between S/PDIF* or AES3, TOS*, and ADAT digital input sources and confirm whether your inputs are synchronous to the one selected
• XLR and S/PDIF outputs to drive one set of analog and one set of digital speakers, plus a 1/4-inch jack for a pair of headphones
• S/PDIF input also handles AES3 and AES3-id formats
• Large level-control knob gives you straightforward control over speaker levels when reference listening is not active
• Interfaces directly with all new Macs* and most audio-production PCs if desired
