SPL will unveil a new monitor and headphone controller at the upcoming AES convention : the 2Control.

The entirely analog 2Control allows for connection and selection of two stereo sources, two stereo speaker sets and two headphones. It also feature a third mono speaker output which can be used to feed a subwoofer. Speaker volume is controlled by a central, massive volume potentiometer. Each headphone output is supplied by a separate amplifier stage and can be controlled individually.

A unique highlight is the analog Crossfeed control circuitry for headphone monitoring: it creates the frequency dependent interaural level differences between the stereo channels to generate a real speaker playback impression on headphones. This feature is derived from SPL's Phonitor. It enables the user the to reliably produce and mix audio on headphones especially when speaker monitoring conditions are suboptimal e.g. on tour or in homerecording environments.

The 2Control is expected for December 2008 at a retail price of €499.
