TC4
Coleman TC4 - Transfer Monitor Controller

Transfer Monitor Controller

The TC4 is a DAW monitor controller for any studio or mastering facility. The two balanced stereo inputs, have a passive signal path through a 47 position stepped attenuator that tracks to .05db. This will maintain the stereo balance at any level and feeds the mains or alternate balanced speaker outputs. There are four balanced stereo inserts in the signal chain with relay switching to keep the signal path as passive as possible. This makes A/Bing compressors, limiters, EQ or any effect as easy as pushing the button to insert the piece of gear. The Flip switch reverses the order of insert 1 and 2 so you can A/B which comes first, the compressor or the EQ, try doing that with a patchbay. The mono switch sums the stereo signal to mono in the speakers only not the mix output. The phase reverse switch flips the phase on the right speaker output, and when used in conjunction with the mono switch will give you a left minus right so you can work on the side channels (hard L or R signals). There are L and R mute switches to isolate the speakers and help focus on the side channels. The PRE/POST switch allows a comparison between the original audio signal and the processed audio signal. The Master Output signal has a completely passive signal path from start to finish, except of course for the insert devices, and makes it easy to print the final mix. A powerful engineers headphone output with it's own level control, to check mixes up close, and a balanced stereo meter output so you can watch your levels rounds out this 1U monitor controller.

When we got rid of our console and brought all our synth outputs into the computer digitally, the Coleman Audio TB 4 provided the perfect solution for monitoring our stereo sources. Along with the tailback feature which works flawlessly, it is a must have device for any project studio setup.

QS8MKII
QS8
QS8MKII Master Monitor

The QS8MKII is a control room monitor, a communications module, a cue mixer and a summing box all in a one unit. As a control room monitor the QS8MKII has a passive signal path, a 47 position stepped attenuator and alternate speaker outputs. Both the stereo cue input and the stereo Aux 3 input have their own level control and combine to make the cue mix. Aux 3 eliminates the latency issue by feeding the input signal back to the headphone mix. The talkback mic with it's own level control allows easy communication with the artist. The QS8MKII also sums four stereo inputs to a balanced stereo output that can be recorded as a DAW mix track.

FEATURES:
  • Passive signal path for monitoring
  • 47 position stepped attenuator tracks to .05db
  • Alternate speaker outputs
  • Talkback mic and remote switching available
  • Cue mix eliminates latency issues
  • Sums four stereo inputs to a stereo output

The communications section has a talkback mic (included) with level control and an independent slate output to designate tracks. The mix buss can handle up to 48 balanced analogue inputs that sum down to stereo and come out on a pair of XLR's that can feed the DAW to record the mix. There's a stereo insert so you can put a real compressor across the entire mix buss, a Penny & Giles master fader on the remote to do fades and remote switching for talkback slate and dim.



FEATURES:
  • Passive signal path for monitoring
  • Stepped attenuator tracks to .05db
  • Alternate speaker outputs
  • Talkback mic and remote switching available

STEREO EQUALIZERS CA500 SERIES

CA500M
CA500M
4 BAND STEREO MASTERING EQUALZER

The Coleman Audio CA500M is a 4 band stereo equalizer. The inputs & outputs are balanced on XLR connectors. The EQ in switch turns the entire equalizer on or off. The high frequencies (8kHz, 10kHz, 12kHz and 16kHz) can be switched between shelving or peak EQ with 5db of boost or cut in 1db discrete steps. The low frequencies (30Hz, 60Hz, 100Hz, and 150Hz) are shelving EQ with 5db of boost or cut in 1db discrete steps. The two mid bands are peak equalizers with frequencies overlapping by 1/4 octave and have up to 3.5db of boost or cut in 1/2db discrete steps. The stereo/mono switch allows the CA500M to become a mono EQ unit. The audio passes through the left channel first and then through the right channel providing more EQ options. The circuits are designed to musical scales, not to mathematical relationships and the variable "Q" circuits maintain the tonal balance as the amplitude is adjusted.

CA500EQ
4 BAND STEREO EQUALZER

The Coleman Audio CA500EQ is a 4 band stereo equalizer. The inputs & outputs are balanced on XLR connectors. There is an input level control so you can adjust the audio signal before equalizing to help prevent clipping, and an output level control to readjust the gain of the signal with equalization. The EQ in switch turns the entire equalizer on or off. The stereo/mono switch allows the CA500 to become a mono EQ unit. The audio passes through the left channel first and then through the right channel providing more EQ options. The high frequencies (8kHz, 10kHz, 12kHz and 16kHz) can be switched between shelving or peak EQ with 10db of boost or cut in 2db discrete steps. The low frequencies (30Hz, 60Hz, 100Hz, and 150Hz) are shelving EQ with 10db of boost or cut in 2db discrete steps. The two mid bands are peak equalizers with frequencies overlapping by 1/4 octave and have up to 14db of boost or cut in 2db discrete steps. The circuits are designed to musical scales, not to mathematical relationships and the variable "Q" circuits maintain the tonal balance as the amplitude is adjusted.
