Surround controller for 5.1...Help !

[ODC]

Hi !
I'm taking the plunge into 5.1 mixing for a new project (Music & Sfx's)....plouf !
My dilemna is choosing the right surround controller for my system (Procontrol)....
I've heard about the Audient 510 and the StudioTech model 68A/69A but I've got 2 days left to decide.... [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

ODC,
I'm using neither of those mentioned. I'm using the Martisound http://www.martinsound.com/pd_mmu.htm
Martinsound EX-R Multimax. Just installed it last month and the thing works and sounds great. It can be had for less than $2900.00. It's the box to use if your serious about mixing in 5.1/LCRS or stereo at a flick of a switch. I know quite a few people using them and they all very happy [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

i second the vote for the Martinsound...It's a good box, can monitor up to 4 7.1 stems simultaneously, fold them into a LtRt, even mono them at a push of a button. it has a calibrated volume knob, can be remoted, nad is one of my indispensable tools. wwe use them facility-wide, and if installed correctly , them are a must....
