2. ESI Audiotechnik MoCo Monitor Controller
Passive Studio Monitor Controller
MoCo is a fully passive monitor controller designed for perfect control of your studio monitor listening levels. "Fully passive" means that the signal is not affected by active components, ensuring that the maximum audio quality is always delivered to your studio monitors. MoCo features two separate stereo inputs and two separate stereo outputs. MoCo does not convert unbalanced signals to balanced: what goes in is what comes out! The input signal can be selected via a switch. Separate buttons activate the respective output. The mono function allows for a downmix of both channels, and the mute function can silence the signal. Additionally, a quick switch between the left and right channels is possible with a button. The large knob in the center of MoCo controls the listening volume.
