Phonitor 2 - The Ultimate Headphone Amplifier and Monitoring Controller

Elevate Your Audio Experience with Phonitor 2 Enter the realm of unmatched audio fidelity with the SPL Phonitor 2, a supreme headphone amplifier and monitoring controller. Integrating the revolutionary 120V VOLTAiR technology, Phonitor 2 is engineered for the most discerning sound and mastering engineers. The Phonitor Matrix, a cornerstone of this device, allows for mixing and mastering on headphones with an experience parallel to that of loudspeakers.

Exceptional Sound for Headphones and Loudspeakers Phonitor 2 is versatile; it's not just a headphone amplifier. On the front, it accommodates a standard headphone with a stereo jack plug, delivering power to drive any headphones with ease. The rear panel features a stereo output, turning the Phonitor 2 into a high-quality monitoring controller suitable for any studio setup, be it with active speakers or a combination of passive speakers and a power amplifier.

Unparalleled Monitoring Quality The signal quality of the Phonitor 2 matches that of SPL’s top-tier DMC and MMC mastering consoles, ensuring pristine and accurate sound reproduction for critical listening and mixing.

Intuitive Control and Connectivity The Phonitor 2 features a solid 45mm volume control knob milled from aluminum, coupled with a motorized Alps RK27 “Big Blue” potentiometer, providing tactile and precise volume adjustments. The OUTPUT switch allows seamless toggling between headphone and speaker playback, with a Mute function for silence when needed. Additionally, a dip switch enables the volume control for the rear stereo output to be bypassed, setting it as a 'Slave Thru'.

Expansion Rack for Enhanced Functionality The SPL Expansion Rack not only houses the Phonitor 2 but also extends its capabilities. It includes a passive four-way switch, allowing you to route the speaker output signal to up to four stereo speaker pairs.

Flexible Input Options Phonitor 2 offers three stereo analog inputs: two XLR inputs for balanced sources and one RCA input for unbalanced sources like CD players. A dip switch allows for level adjustment, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance with various audio sources.

Remote Control for Convenience The volume can be adjusted remotely with any infrared remote control, with the Phonitor 2 capable of learning its commands easily.

Comprehensive Monitoring Features Phonitor 2 comes fully equipped as a monitor controller, featuring:

• Sources: 2x XLR, 1x RCA
• Mono/Stereo, Solo L/R, Phase Inversion
• Output switchable to headphones or speakers
• Mute and Phonitor Matrix with adjustable parameters
