Monitor Section
Hi,
has someone got any deeper infos whats included in the Monitor section (XMON) ? ... like is there a fixed point where I can connect my RTW meters ? How many machine inputs, how many outputs etc. pp. Dedicated phase invert button ? Is it a new XMON or still the old one which came with d-command? Are there any pictures at the web where one can have a closer look (higher resolution for zooming into) ? Are there knobs assignable to the monitor section or is it using fixed knobs & buttons ? etc. pp.

Re: Monitor Section
Xmon doesn't even have meter outs. No folddown ect... Oh well.

Re: Monitor Section
My gripe is the MC524 beats the XMON everyday and twice on Sunday in features and usability, epically for Post.
Who ever though the XMON is good enough for this need to be slapped. hard, very very hard

Re: Monitor Section
Multimax here. Xmon is a huge step backward.

Re: Monitor Section
I bet within 12 months you'll see a new Monitor Facilities rack (XMON). I gotta believe from what I've heard that this surface is a total work in progress. They needed to deliver a new product and show a forward momentum in the market and things will be added and changed. Anyone looking seriously at this type of expenditure knows how this works. When we bought SSL and NEVE we knew that with new digital desks updates, upgrades and changes were inevitable. And personally from owning (3) D-Controls and (4) D-Commands there were many changes. The Comm Card coming to mind, which allowed us to use multiple Pro Tools systems with the surface. Original units didn't have those and had to be upgraded.
Also anyone who has experience with EUCON 3.0 will tell you the integration with Pro Tools is quite sloppy. So for now it's a great looking surface, with many bells and whistles that I am looking forward to test driving, but will not be diving into my bank account till quite sometime down the line. My clients are thrilled with our level of integration and D-Control / Command work great. But this is my opinion and I am sitting back and watching development for now. |
