Artist Series Monitor Section

[blairl]

I'm looking at the Artist Series and have some questions about the monitor section. I have looked at the online documentation and have found it to lack specificity. Hopefully some users will be able to give some input.

How is it?

Are there separate controls for control room/tracking room/headphones?

Is talkback integrated? Onboard microphone or external?

Dim switch?

Multiple input selection for auxiliary equipment?

If you have found the Artist Series monitor section to be lacking, what are you using as an alternative?

Thanks!

After looking further I found SME "Studio Monitor Express". While the concept looks very flexible, the idea of losing converter inputs and outputs to implement a full monitor section is unappealing. I was hoping for a complete hardware stand-alone solution.

What are others doing for monitor control?
