The R4S from Antelope is a dedicated, tabletop remote control designed to completely replicate the front-panel functionality of the Satori analog monitoring system. Centered around an ergonomic and intuitive design, it allows engineers to select their monitoring options, directly from their listening sweet spot.
Connected and powered via USB, the R4S gives you instant visual feedback of all your settings, while the large, stepped volume knob controls the relay attenuator in the main unit.
