Icon monitoring
I'm getting a D-command this month replacing my Procontrol.
I'm monitoring thru a Coleman TB4 bypassing the Procontrol and wondering if the Xmon is going to be on Par with it (Coleman) thus getting rid of the Coleman Any insight ?

Re: Icon monitoring
Love my X-Mon.
If you plan to use the Auto Talkback and/or Auto Listen mic features like I do, you'll need to use it. |

Also SIP/AFL/PFL works perfectly fine by doing that. d-command & x-mon covers almost everything I need. The only gadget I added is a custom built monitor switcher for more monitor speakers as the d-command got only 2 left if one uses the XMon Alt Meter patch which lets you connect your (RTW) level meter to the Alt-Output.

I'll try to do a quick A/B on the 2 I want to make sure my chain is still pristine when I do some mastering

Did you ever do this test? I'd be interested to know the results. I'm thinking of getting an Avocet to replace the Xmon if it is better. |

Re: Icon monitoring
I never bothered.The imaging and quality is fine with the Xmon.

Re: Icon monitoring
No AFL/PFL without XMon

If you use the "AFL Mutes" option in the I/O setup you can get pretty close to what the xmon does. |
