In
Addition:
• There are integrated
unbalanced inputs for the stereo buss of an
all-in-one console/recorder like the Roland 1680's,
Tascam or other units - as well as consoles with
unbalanced or TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connectors.
When the unbalanced stereo buss inputs are used,
the balanced connectors are disabled.
• The Source Select
output can be connected to the DMC-2 (future
release) which gives you independent level and mute
for discrete control room headphone output.
Additional sources may be connected to the DMC-2
which also allows an additional speaker selection,
separate L-R mutes, monitor buss input, another
source input, discrete stereo fader (upgrades a
portion of the audio circuit in a console stereo
buss, or may be used as a volume control for any
balanced source such as a Masterlink). Precision
level controls and Nautilus' pristine discrete
Class-A audio path ensures the highest quality
sound.
• The Source Select
output can be connected to any other
external headphone distribution amplifier with
level controls. This is a full-line-level output
connection and must be connected only to
another device with level controls. This is not
meant for connection to any power amplifier that
does not have level controls. It can be used
(simultaneously with standard control room
operations) to send audio to a speaker system in
another room - but that other speaker system must
have it's own volume controls. This is perfect if
you have a consumer stereo system in a lobby or
meeting room that can accept line level
signals.
• The Dim Logic
input allows dimming of monitors connected
to the DMC-1 when a talkback "trigger" signal is
enabled. When using a qualified technician, a
console's dim command can be connected to the DMC-8
so that the monitors dim even when using a
console's built-in talkback feature. Future
Nautilus products will include talkback and studio
headphone control that will interface with this
unit.
• When not in use with a Digital Audio
Workstation, the DMC-1 can accept the
monitor buss output from a
console. This enables the user to switch to
a source selection (like "2 Track 1" - with the
monitor buss connected) and solo on the board
during tracking or mixing. Then when a more precise
audio path is desired, simply switch back over to
the Stereo Buss selector for the highest resolution
signal
• The DMC-1 is a very
powerful tool for making
level-matched comparisons. Listen to the
sound of commercial CDs next to your mix using the
level-matching control. Using two sources (like the
output of a Masterlink and the output of a CD
player) is ideal for comparing to your mix. Check
your previous mixes with your current mixes to be
sure you like where the vocal level sits in your
latest mix (every song has a "life" of it's own and
can end up with different over-all levels, even
though all the sounds and gain structures are
relatively the same).
• The DMC-1 has the same discrete Class-A
circuit as the DMC-8, and can
be used for mastering in situations that do
not require as many sources. (Add more sources
later on with the DMC-2.) While the source level
control is not detented, it is precision-tracking
and will stay in place if it's not tampered with.
If you calibrate your outputs levels from different
sources, you can compare your mastered product with
other sources to examine the tonal and level
differences (and problems associated with long
cables and passive systems are not an issue).
• This unit has a front panel button for the
6 dB stereo buss input
pad, as well as a back
pad for the RCA
inputs.
• Just as with the DMC-8, this unit has two
transformer balanced stereo buss thru outputs,
switchable voltages, and rugged construction
• The DMC-1 is just as
powerful for increasing your
sonic skills as the DMC-8 if you apply
effective A-B techniques.
