Expand your MONITOR ST into an elegant surround system with the Dangerous MONITOR SR, an expansion unit that creates the most versatile surround monitoring solution that's accurate, clear, and flexible. Designed by the legendary Chris Muth, the MONITOR ST/SR system handles all your input sources and speaker routing with crystal clarity and massive headroom delivered from a meticulously designed circuit built from only the highest quality audiophile-grade components available.

The system can be expanded with multiple SR units in order to accommodate large-scale surround systems such as 5.1, 7.1, 10.2, and larger. Simply add as many SR units as needed. The analog-stepped attenuator, ever-expanding input channels, and speaker outputs as well as programmable I/O levels are all controlled via the sleek remote control (available separately). All switching is handled by relays, allowing your audio signals to be delivered to your speakers unadulterated, removing all the guesswork while tracking, mixing, or mastering.

The MONITOR-ST/SR handle the complex routing of a surround system with ease. When used together, the ST unit routes your front L-R speakers, the SR unit seamlessly handles the remaining inputs and speaker outputs, while the straightforward remote manages both units as an elegantly unified system. All connections on the SR are made via highest quality DB-25 connectors, and even with just one SR unit, you can instantly manage both your L-R stereo plus sub and your surround array with LFE, all without patching a single cable. There is also a dedicated port for sending the selected input source to a surround metering array.

The key to successful monitoring is dead accurate input and output calibration. With the MONITOR-ST/SR combination, you've got remote programmable input level offsets and front-panel calibration ports for surround channels on the SR. You can approach the often-debated surround calibration process in whatever way you deem best for your studio, workflow, and preferences.

Stay in the sweet spot while managing every signal in your surround studio. The MONITOR-ST/SR's award-winning, ergonomic, intuitive, and indestructible remote control (available separately) puts all of the functions at your fingertips, including individual muting of center, L-R front and rear, and LFE channels. You can even mute and solo channels in groups. The illuminated switches give you instant visual feedback of all your settings, while the stepped volume knob triggers the audiophile-grade relays in the main unit.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this suitable for live sound speakers control as well ?

A: You can use it for any passive speakers, meaning that you can not pass power through the controller.

Q: 2. Are the XLR and 1/8" stereo mini-jack outputs active at the same time? Could I use the XLR for Left and Right monitors while using the 1/8" stereo mini-jack for a subwoofer?

A: No, the left and right XLR outputs and the 1/8" output are not able to be used at the same time for connecting speakers. You can either use the XLR outputs OR the 1/8" stereo output to connect speakers.

Q: 3. How many QuadHead2Go devices do I need to connect 8 monitors to a single input? 2 or 3?

A: To connect 8 monitors using the Matrox QuadHead2Go Multi-Monitor Controller Appliance, you would need 2 units, but you would also need 2 DisplayPort outputs from your source in order to connect to 8 monitors. Matrox recommends using a Luma Series graphics card such as the Matrox Luma Series LUMA A380 Graphics Card, BH #MALUMAA380 to connect multiple appliances.

Q: 4. The power port does not look like your typical DC port. What type of DC plug should I look up to find the correct power cable to buy?

A: At this moment power cables will need to be deigned. DJI has one cable option to power the display from their Master Wheels or Force PRO. Cable - DJI High-Bright Remote Monitor Controller Cable (11.8") BH #DJHBRMCC

Q: 5. Will this work on the Ronin SC?

A: This would be able to work with the Ronin-SC.

Q: 6. Does the output go out simultaneously on the TRS and XLR connections?

A: The question is puzzling to me because I only know of 1 stereo out. It is an XLR connection not TRS. You can use cables that connect XLR to this controller and then TRS to a monitor or other amp if you need. But there are not 2 simultaneous outs. The in is XLR as well. Additionally, I have used this device between my signal out and the monitors for about a month and I like the solid stateness and the smooth glide of the volume nob. Ability to just mute the monitors is nice too. Especially nice if those features need to be isolated from your main controlling device. Hope that helps.

Q: 7. Can you plug good studio headphones into the stereo output on the back and toggle between the headphones and Nearfield monitors?

A: Yes, you can connect studio headphones and nearfield monitors and toggle between them. Depending on the headphones, you may want to use them with a headphone amplifier to provide more gain.
