In
Addition:
• There are 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 connectors 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 can be used as a separate 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-8 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-8 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-8 is a very
powerful tool for making
level-matched comparisons. Listen to the
sound of a "rendered" or "bounced" stereo file from
a DAW and compare it with a Masterlink's analog or
digital recording (without the "bounce" process).
If you have a digital patch bay, you can send one
digital signal to 2 sets of D-A converters and
compare the sound. 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). Compare
an analog tape deck (gotta love that) with a 96K or
higher A-D converter-to-digital recorder.
• The DMC-8 is also a powerful
mastering tool. While the individual
level pots are not detented, they are
precision-tracking and will stay in place if they
are 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. The
discrete Class-A resolution sound speaks for itself
(and problems associated with long cables and
passive systems are not an issue).
• Nautilus offers an optional remote
- the ANCHOR - with
4-source select functions, stationary and momentary
talkback, dim, control room headphone output and
mute. Email
for further details.
• This unit has 6 dB
pads for the Left and Right stereo buss
inputs, as well as a
pad for the RCA
inputs.
• Balanced stereo buss thru outputs, balanced
source select output, switchable voltages, rugged
construction
