Designed to provide only the necessary functions with
excellent audio quality, the SMC offers a uniquely cost-effective
stereo and surround speaker and source management solution
for essentially any audio application.
The advantages of the SMC become especially apparent
in combination with modern audio and video production
tools such as ProTools™, Nuendo™, Cubase™,
Logic™, Deck™ etc. Monitor levels and source
management can be handled independently of the software
and with virtually no loss in quality. You no longer
need to set up additional aux sends or an alternative
surround master for monitoring. In addition, you won't
have to worry about over- or underdriving the converters
due to monitor levels.
One of
the SMC's biggest advantages is the possibility to
manage several input sources: comparing and monitoring
SACD or DVD material is much easier than having to
import all of your audio files and set up monitor
mixes – not to mention the conversion of multichannel
audio.
Standard
A/V receivers are often used for this task. The problem
with this is that the audio has to be either AD/DA
converted or manipulated by signal-degenerating control
circuitry (VCA's, DAC's etc.) for volume control,
so you never hear the unadulterated audio –
especially frustrating when you're working on SACD
or DVD-A projects.

In
addition to a surround speaker set, a stereo pair
can be connected to and managed by the SMC. A Sub-D
input connector provides six surround and two stereo
input channels. Eight additional RCA connectors allow
easy connection of SACD, DVD, CD or DAT players. A
slave output allows the stereo or surround input signal
to be routed directly to a recording device. Volume
control is handled by a discrete six-layer potentiometer
and all switching functions by extremely durable precision
pushbuttons.
SPL's renowned electronic balancing circuitry forms
the basis for the SMC's I/O architecture. Its extended
frequency range up to 100 kHz, exceptional dynamic
spectrum and excellent common mode rejection ensure
specs that exceed SACD standards, as only highest
quality analog circuitry can provide.

Last but not least, the SMC's rugged and ergonomic
steel-blue desktop enclosure with its slanted front
panel harmonizes perfectly with the desktop production
environment.
