DESCRIPTION
Did you know that Midas is one of the most recognized brands used by audio professionals around the world? Now you can get the gear the pros use! The STUDIO XL comes with two state-of-the-art Midas microphone preamplifiers with +48 V phantom power, ultra-low noise, high gain and audiophile quality.
The STUDIO XL is the ideal solution for home or professional studios, or as part of a larger setup. Premium, ultra-low noise components and high headroom lets your music shine at its best – this is especially true for one of the most critical sources: Vocals!
Crystal Clear Signal Path at 192 kHz
The STUDIO XL is more than just a monitor controller – we added one of the best USB audio interfaces with the highest possible resolution and lowest latency. Full 192 kHz sampling rate at a clear 24-bit resolution will make you smile listening to the crisp and astonishing sound you’ll get.
VCA-Control – Not Just a Volume Knob
Unlike the typical and inexpensive potentiometers used by our competitors, the STUDIO XL utilizes high-end Voltage Controlled Amplifier (VCA) technology. While conventional monitor controllers directly pass the signal through the volume potentiometer, the STUDIO XL controls a separate high-precision amplifier circuit that drives the volume change. This gives perfect stereo and phase coherency, precision level adjustment, accurate sound and no quality degradation over time.
The All-In Device
The STUDIO XL integrates seamlessly into your existing setup. You can even make it the center piece of your studio. Thanks to the built-in audio interface and Midas microphone pre-amps it becomes an all-in-one recording solution, just add your computer and you’re ready to go.
More Monitor Options
Today’s recordings must sound great everywhere: in the car, at home, on your cell phone, soundbar, Bluetooth speakers and in the club – It’s essential experience your mix through as many speaker systems as possible.
The ultra-convenient STUDIO XL lets you switch between 3 independent pairs of studio monitors – each with individual level adjustments. Listen through studio monitors (such as Behringer B2031A, MS16 or Tannoy GOLD 5), or any other combination – at the mere press of a button!
