The MONICON L is a versatile, compact studio monitor controller for professional project studios and ambitious home set-ups. It features three inputs for different signal sources: balanced via XLR/TRS combo sockets as well as AUX and Bluetooth for mobile or digital devices. The inputs and outputs can be switched on/off via dedicated buttons with LED status display.
Two stereo outputs and an additional mono output allow flexible control of the speakers, for example, for main monitors, nearfield systems, or subwoofers. The large analogue volume control allows precise control of the output level.
Functions such as “Mono,” “Dim,” and “Mute” support practical monitoring conditions and facilitate quick adjustments in everyday studio life.
With its own volume control and PFL function, a separate headphone output allows isolated pre-listening to input signals without affecting the main mix.
The integrated power supply provides power to the Bluetooth, the headphone amplifier, and output three. The signal path itself stays entirely analogue, which makes latency-free and pristine audio playback possible. MONICON L stands for reliable signal management, transparent sound control, and intuitive operation.
