Derived directly from the center section of API Audio pro mixing consoles, the MC531 is a desktop monitor controller with comprehensive control functions. Sporting three balanced, line-level inputs and outputs, you can easily integrate the MC531 into any professional audio system for precision control and monitoring via up to three selectable monitor destinations.
Along with the three stereo line-level inputs, the MC531 features both rear- and front-panel 3.5mm stereo inputs. All five analog inputs are buffered with 2510 op-amps. The unit also features selectable digital input via AES3 or USB as well as wireless Bluetooth connectivity. All three balanced stereo outputs sport adjustable trim levels, along with a mono balanced output ideal for feeding a subwoofer. The Sub is independently assignable and all stereo outputs and includes mute, mono, and DIM controls. Two 1/4" headphone outputs are available and feature toggles for C/R and Cue Source (selectable from any of the inputs). The MC531 sports an integrated talkback mic with gain control. The 18-segment stereo LED meter lets you keep an eye on things, and you can also utilize a balanced, stereo, unity-level meter output for external meter systems. The MC531 includes an external power supply with locking DC power connector.
