LEVEL PILOT X in Detail
High-Resolution Analogue Volume Control
LEVEL PILOT X puts immediate level control exactly where you need it - right at your fingertips. It does this by using a renowned Bourns potentiometer to ensure accurate, high-resolution analog control over your monitors at all times. Most audio interfaces, digital mixers and other digital audio devices are restricted to digital attenuation of the output signal, reducing the digital-to-analog converter resolution, ultimately rendering a poorer output sound quality. Using LEVEL PILOT X as your analogue level control after the DAW guarantees sonic integrity of your audio signal while keeping level control right there at your fingertips.
Exceptional Clarity in the Signal Path
LEVEL PILOT X uses components and circuitry that optimize signal-to-noise ratios. There are no buffers, batteries, transistors or other tone-sucking components in there - so all that comes out of it are pristine, high-fidelity audio signals.
Compact, Sleek and Sturdy Design
LEVEL PILOT X not only feels like a level control that you can rely on in any situation, it also comes with a brushed aluminum finish to give it a premium look and a smooth, ergonomic feel.
Computer-Independent Operation
Many level control solutions draw additional power from the computer to enable level attenuation - not so with LEVEL PILOT X, which can be operated completely independently of the audio source, be it computer or any other line-level device. In fact, LEVEL PILOT X requires no power to operate, guaranteeing quick and direct control over your monitors.
Balanced and Unbalanced Compatibility
This makes LEVEL PILOT X a real life-saver, fitting into most of today’s analog setups and allowing high quality level control in an endless number of applications.
‘Tight Grip’ Rubberized Base Plate
LEVEL PILOT X feels solid under hand, and the additional slip-free rubberized base plate ensures that LEVEL PILOT X stays exactly where it’s needed.
Quad-Core Fully Balanced XLR Connectivity
LEVEL PILOT X comes with its own discrete quad-core cabling to ensure perfect stereo imaging and left-right tracking - with no messy cabling to clutter up your workspace.

Instantly switch between audio sources, USB and monitor outputs. The large volume knob makes it easy to dial-in the perfect level every time, without having to reach for your mixer – or your mouse. Now you can create powerful, custom monitor mixes. Plus, the built-in Talkback mic lets you communicate directly with the talent.
More Monitor Options
Today’s recordings have to sound great everywhere: in the car, at home, on your cell phone, soundbar, Bluetooth speakers and in the club – so experiencing your mix through as many speaker systems as possible is more essential than ever.
The ultra-convenient STUDIO L lets you switch between 2 independent pairs of studio monitors – each with individual level adjustments. Listen through studio monitors (such as our B2031A or MS16), or any other combination – at the mere press of a button!
Connections Matter
The STUDIO L comes with two pairs of input connectors and a 3.5mm (1/8”) stereo input for connecting a smartphone or music player, as well as two pairs of high-quality outputs to connect your favourite monitor speakers.
The first 2 inputs can be fed by a line source or any type of microphone, in any combination – operating in dual mono or stereo-link mode. Not to mention the 2-Track output which can be used for a variety of applications. Connect a 2-track digital recorder, an additional soundcard, mixer or whatever you require.
Let’s Communicate
No need for a desk stand and an external mic to talk to the talent in the isolation booth. STUDIO L’s high-quality, built-in microphone is just a button push away, so you can save your mics for the drum kit. The onboard headphone amplifier section lets you connect 2 pairs of headphones with individual level controls and a common source selector, which will make the next session one of your best.
Not to forget, the STUDIO L also comes with the most important switches exactly where you need them – right at your fingertips. Mono and Mute buttons and even a Dim switch which instantly reduces the signal going to the monitor speakers by 20 dB. Perfect for momentarily lowering the volume to talk to someone without moving the knob.
High Quality, Best Value
We designed the STUDIO L to provide many years of super-clean, high-fidelity performance in the most critical listening environment – yours! Built from the highest-grade components, STUDIO L is the perfect way to add a lot more convenience into your current studio setup.

MONITOR2USB
When it’s time to get down to the business of recording or mixing, you want the ultimate sound quality from your monitoring system – and the last thing you’ll want is to crawl around under your desk running cables. The MONITOR2USB gets you off your knees and puts VCA-controlled Volume, Source selection, Phones and Monitor control right at your fingertips.
With the incredible MONITOR2USB you can select from 3 sets of active studio monitors, 2 different stereo sources, plus a USB input for your DAW – to create powerful, custom monitor mixes – all in pristine, audiophile-grade sound quality.
Voltage Controlled Amplifiers
While MONITOR2USB’s Volume control is mechanically similar to an analog control, its use of Voltage Controlled Amplifiers (VCA) provides several major benefits. First, since a DC current flows through the volume control (instead of the audio signal) there is no degradation in sound quality, and none of the pops and crackles typically produced by an audio-taper volume control.
That current is what actually controls the levels of the separate left and right amplifiers. Second, both the left and right channels remain proportionately accurate to their input levels. Third, better left/right channel separation is maintained, because there are no audio signals present at the volume control. And finally, you get amazingly precise and repeatable level settings you can count on.
Sometimes Bigger is Better!
Small knobs make for low precision. Conversely, the bigger the knob is, the higher the precision. Think of a control knob as a circle. On a small circle/knob the distance from one degree to the next is very small, making it difficult to dial-in perfection. On our really big knob, the distance between degrees of the circle is much larger, allowing you to make high-precision adjustments with ease. The MONITOR2USB lets you set levels fast and accurately, which is of utmost importance when it comes to your mastering projects.
Built-in USB Connectivity
The high-quality, built-in USB audio interface lets you connect directly to your computer and its digital library, creating the ultimate sound source control center – no additional hardware required.
More Monitor Options
In the golden age of recording, engineers had to make the mix sound great in just two places, the studio and the car. When you consider the acoustic environments and the equipment used in each, it’s not as easy as it sounds.
Today’s computer-based recordings have to sound great in even more situations, such as MP3 players, podcasts and other bass-challenged systems – so experiencing your mix through as many speaker systems as possible is more essential than ever.
MONITOR2USB lets you switch between up 2 pairs of studio monitors, listen through vintage-style small monitors (such as our C5A or C50A), add a subwoofer – or any combination at the mere press of a button.
We Value Your Input
We gave the MONITOR2USB enough connectivity to handle just about anything you’re likely to plug in. Input 1’s balanced XLR sockets allow you to connect your mixer’s output, while Input 2’s XLR sockets accept a wide range of line level devices, including CD and DVD players. Plus, you can connect directly to your computer via USB to monitor your DAW, or playback other computer-based music files, such as backing tracks, mp3s, etc.
All-Access Backstage Pass
MONITOR2USB’s rear panel provides connectivity for: 2 separate stereo source XLR Inputs (one with a +4 dBu/-10 dBV switch for line level devices); 2 separate stereo XLR Monitor Outs, plus an additional mono XLR Out; and a USB socket for your computer.
Phone Home
Listening to live studio monitors is not always an option when you’re mixing at home, so we gave the MONITOR2USB twin high-grade headphone amplifiers with separate volume controls. We also equipped the headphone section with an amazing Crossfeed control that emulates the stereo speaker panorama. This enables you create an open, natural sounding listening environment that is more true-to-life and not ear fatiguing – even during long mixdown sessions.
Sound Quality and Value
We designed the MONITOR2USB to provide many years of super-clean, high-fidelity performance in the most critical listening environment – yours! With its wealth of I/O options and superb VCA-controlled audio, the MONITOR2USB has everything you need to make your next recording or mixing session – the best one yet!
