The CMC7 is a compact surround monitoring controller designed to efficiently manage 5.1 or 7.1 multi-channel audio systems.

It enables centralised level management, with an architecture designed to preserve signal accuracy. Its active design minimises the sound distortions encountered with certain passive circuits, ensuring a neutral and detailed listening experience.

This gives you reliable control for your studio, post-production or audiovisual mixing set-ups. Its operation remains straightforward, with essential controls quickly accessible, without an excess of unnecessary settings. With its 8 independent channels, the CMC7 facilitates the use of common surround formats such as 5.1, 7.1 or quadraphonic.

Precision of adjustment is a key feature of the CMC7, thanks to a volume control designed to maintain a constant balance between the different channels. Unlike passive solutions using multiple linked potentiometers, this active architecture maintains a consistent level relationship across the entire adjustment range.

This ensures a consistent sound image, even when making significant adjustments to the overall volume. This control makes it easier to evaluate mixes and contributes to a more reliable listening experience during the creation, monitoring or audio approval phases.

The CMC7 also features a function for converting surround mixes to 2.1 stereo playback. This capability allows you to quickly assess the compatibility of a multichannel programme with more conventional broadcast set-ups, using the front left and right speakers as well as the subwoofer.

The headphone output features a dedicated amplifier with its own level control, providing a convenient solution for personal checks or detailed analysis without burdening the main system.

The CMC7 is built to a reliability-focused design, featuring a very low-noise circuit and protection via time-delay relays against switching noise during power-up or shutdown. Every component contributes to trouble-free operation in a professional production environment.
