Symbols and Notes Symbols And Notes IN THIS MANUAL A LIGHTNING SYMBOL WITHIN A TRIANGLE WARNS YOU ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL SHOCKS – WHICH CAN ALSO OCCUR EVEN AFTER THE MACHINE HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED FROM A POWER SOURCE. AN EXCLAMATION MARK (!) WITHIN A TRIANGLE IS INTENDED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL ADVICE AND/OR WARNINGS THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED. BE ESPECIALLY ATTENTIVE TO THESE AND ALWAYS FOLLOW THE ADVICE THEY GIVE.
Important Security Information Please note and retain this manual. Carefully read and follow all of the safety and operating instructions before you use the machine. Be doubly careful to follow all warnings and special safety instructions noted in this manual and on the unit. Connections: Only use the connections as described. Other connections can lead to health risks and equipment damage.
Important Security Information Air circulation: Chassis openings offer ventilation and serve to protect the machine from overheating. NEVER cover or otherwise close off these openings. NEVER place the machine on a soft surface (carpet, sofa, etc.). Make sure to provide for a mounting space of 4-5 cm/2 inches to the sides of the unit when mounting the unit in racks or cabinets. Controls And switches: Operate the controls and switches only as described in the manual.
Hook Up Be very careful to check that the rear chassis power selection switch is set to the correct local line voltage position before using the unit (230 V position: 220-240 V/50 Hz, 115 V position: 110-120 V/60 Hz)! When in doubt about a source, contact your dealer or a professional electrician. Before connecting any equipment make sure that any machine to be connected is turned off. Follow all safety instructions from page 5. Place the unit on a level and stable surface.
Introduction The 2Control combines loudspeaker and headphone monitoring in a compact, user-friendly and high quality control device. Any studio based on a digital audio workstation (DAW) can benefit from its important and essential monitoring functions. The concept of the 2Control is based on a dual-channel operation that allows for connection of two sources, two stereo speaker sets and two headphones.
Introduction Crossfeed A new feature of the 2Control is the CROSSFEED control for both headphone outputs, which was derived from the high-end headphone amplifier Phonitor. From their principle, headphones have the disadvantage of producing a 180 degree stereo panorama – the CROSSFEED control can be used to adjust a stereo panorama that corresponds to a stereo speaker image.
Applications The speakers and headphones monitoring center The 2Control combines loudspeaker and headphone monitoring in a compact, user-friendly and high quality control device.

Rear Panel/Switches & Connections Power Connection Connect the included power cord to the rear Mains Input. Transformer, power cord and case connection conform to VDE, UL and CSA requirements. Power fuse ratings are 315 mA slow blow (220-240 volts) or 630 mA slow blow (110-120 volts). Power Switch The rear panel POWER switch activates the unit, confirmed by the Power LED on the front panel (between the headphone symbols).
Rear Panel/Switches and Connections XLR Sockets Switch off the unit before you begin the process of making the first or any subsequent connections (rear panel power switch). Neglecting this can damage either or both your ears and your headphones! Connect the monitoring signal(s) to the XLR sockets of the first or second input IN 1 and IN 2 (A/D converter outputs of DAWs and interfaces or playback devices). Connect your speakers to the XLR sockets of outputs SP1, SP2 or SP3.

The layout is: Tip =left channel, Ring = right channel, Sleeve = ground. Make sure that the plug is firmly seated for a solid connection. Recommendations Reduce volume level or press DIM before you remove or plug in a headphone (or when switching headphones).
Control Elements IN 1 IN 1 and IN 2 Switch IN 2 With IN 1 and IN 2 you select the source to listen to on speakers and headphones. Like all switches they illuminate after activation so that you can easily see which source is selected. Activation of both switches sums the input signals. Mono The MONO switch creates a sum of the left and right channel, so you can listen to stereo sources also in mono on speakers and headphones. You can also listen to a mono source on both monitoring channels.
Control Elements The high-grade potentiometer regulates the audio signal directly to avoid any coloration/distortion typical of VCAs, DCAs, etc., which require higher inter-channel tolerances and tend toward higher distortion figures. Moreover, this potentiometer possesses an optimal rotational torque and “feel” for precise hand control.
Control Elements Crossfeed SSFEE CRO 5 6D 9 1 8 2 7 3 4 The CROSSFEED control interacts with a complex analog circuitry that – simply put – serves to simulate the listening experience from loudspeakers on headphones. The ON switch below the control activates and deactivates the circuitry. CROSSFEED regulation is always applied to both headphone outputs simultaneously and is present at the headphone outputs only (no effect on the speaker outputs).
Control Elements Headphone Volume Controls 1 and 2 With these two detended controls you regulate the amplification of the headphone signals. Output and amplification specifications allow operation with a wide variety of headphones from ranges 30 to 600 Ohms. The 2Control provides two separate headphone amplifiers. This excludes mutual influences while VOLUME controls are independent from each other as well as from speaker volume.
Specifications Inputs & Outputs Electronically balanced instrumentation amplifiers Input sockets: XLR Output sockets: XLR (rear), TRS (front) Nominal input level: IN 1: +4 dBu, IN 2: +4 dBu/-10 dBV Input impedance: 22 kOhm Output impedance: 75 Ohm/Headphones: 22 Ohm Max. input level: 21,3 dBu Max.
