Preamp & Monitor Controller

superior amplificationThe SPL Phonitor 2 a high-end amplifier for your headphones and studio monitors that ensures you're listening to the most accurate representation of your recordings. This amp delivers transparent performance at every volume level. With 120-volt operation you get plenty of headroom and impressive dynamic range with an ultra-low noise floor.
The Phonitor Matrix mode uses spatial processing for a loudspeaker-like listening experience with headphones, and switchable signal levels enabling you to calibrate for almost any set of headphones or monitor speakers. Featuring three input sources, versatile metering, and useful signal controls, the SPL Phonitor 2 is a powerful monitor amp for any system.
At A Glance
• Phonitor Matrix provides a loudspeaker-like monitoring experience with headphones
• 120V operation delivers wide dynamic range and plenty of headroom
• Easy integration into your system with flexible I/O and signal levels
• Control volume using any infrared remote control
User-Friendly Control

VOLUME RCThe 45mm Volume control can be remote controlled with any infrared remote control. It works together with the motorized Alps RK27 “Big Blue” potentiometer and features a red marker LED so the setting is visible even in darker rooms.

Monitor ControllerPhonitor Matrix includes crossfeed, speaker angle and center level functions. The output switchable to headphones or speakers and comes with phase reversal for L and R, Sources: 2x XLR, 1x RCA, Solo L/R and Mute features.
Mechanical VU Meter

Laterality ControlVisualize the input levels, which can be switched in sensitivity with the VU Cal switch. By its very nature, hearing can be directed more to the left or more to the right. This is particularly evident when listening with headphones. That’s why Phonitor 2 has the finely resolved Laterality control. With it the center can be set perfectly.
The Revolution

Corrected Stereo EffectIn the headphone amplifier is the Phonitor Matrix which allows you to listen to music through headphones as if you were listening through speakers. To achieve this, the super stereo effect must be corrected.
It makes the placement of voices and instruments in the stereo image seem more widely distributed and effects like reverb and delays are overdone. The tiring super stereo effect is no longer an issue.
The Sources

Flexible I/OPhonitor 2 can be connected using two balanced and one unbalanced stereo sources. If a CD player or HiFi system is connected to the RCA jacks, the consumer level can be raised from -10 dBV to 0 dBu using a dip switch on the bottom of the unit, so the sources are comparable in level. The volume control can be switched off by means of a dip-switch on the bottom of the unit. To The Power Amp or to the active loudspeakers it goes symmetrically using XLR sockets.
