Ideal for use in home, project, and commercial studios, this B&H Kit includes the Polsen VCP-2 passive stereo volume controller and two adjustable desktop monitor stands. Set your monitors on the height- and angle-adjustable stands, then optimize their placement for your mix position. With the VCP-2 connected between your audio interface/mixer and active speakers, you can easily control your listening level and mute/unmute the mix without leaving the sweet spot.
Designed to sit between the output of your computer and the input of your powered speakers, the Polsen VCP-2 is a passive volume controller, one that offers a prominent dial for adjusting the level (or "volume") of audio. The design is passive, meaning no powered circuitry will color the sound. Operating at line level, the unit is suitable for use in a variety of scenarios, such as project studios, pro-audio studios, or even home environments.
On the input side, you'll find combination XLR-1/4" TRS jacks to interface with a variety of pro and consumer-grade equipment. Output connections are made possible thanks to two balanced 1/4" jacks; here is where you'll make the connection from the VCP-2 to your powered speakers.
The VCP-2 sports a steel construction that's both rugged and reliable. Taking up only 2 x 5.3 x 3.3" of space, the unit is relatively compact. It's also lightweight, weighing only 11.8 oz.
Take your studio monitoring setup to the next level with this pair of black On-Stage SMS4500-P adjustable desktop monitor stands. The 9 x 12" platform features an angled lip and a layer of EVA to keep your monitor securely in place. It boasts a maximum weight capacity of 45 pounds, an angle adjustment of 0 to 15 degrees, and a 9.0 to 12.5" height range, ensuring ideal positioning of your monitors. The large, stylish base utilizes four rubber feet to absorb shock and prevent slippage. The SMS4500-P's sturdy steel construction is finished in a durable powder coat to inhibit scratches and scuffs.
