Item Description

Designed for desktop use and powered from the mains rather than from a power adaptor, the Big Knob can select between four stereo input sources, one of which is the stereo monitor mix from your DAW's soundcard or audio interface. These can be routed to any one of three sets of monitors plus four sets of stereo outputs, and there's also a built-in headphone amp with two headphone outputs for headphone monitoring in the control room, as well as a separate stereo studio output that can be sourced from the selected input source or from an external stereo source such as a DAW's aux send. Most of the inputs are switchable from +4dBu to -10dBV, or have gain trims, and all the signal connections other than the Phono inputs are on balanced jacks. The Phono inputs are designed to be used with a record deck fitted with a magnetic cartridge and have the necessary RIAA equalisation. Selected sources are routed to the control-room buss, which in turn also feeds the DAW output and two two-track outputs on balanced jacks, allowing the output from a record deck to be recorded back to the DAW or to a two-track recorder. All four sources and all three monitors have rear-panel gain-trim pots, and all the outputs (2-track A, 2-track B, DAW Output, and Phones Amp) are switchable from +4dBu to -10dBV.
