Effortless, precision control for large monitoring systems.

Versatile, sonically invisible monitor system that enables you to hear and manipulate the finest detail. Features the same high-resolution as the acclaimed GD mic preamps, with balanced and unbalanced analog 5.1 inputs, multiple balanced stereo analog inputs, plus digital 5.1 and stereo inputs.

As of 5/27/05, new software updates with a host of new features are available from Grace Design website for the m906. Downloading these requires a special cable which, if you do not have, is available free of charge from Grace Design by contacting their Boulder office. If you do not have internet access, the downloads will be provided to you on CD, also free of charge.

Grace Design m906 5.1 Monitor Controller Features:

  • Multiple 5.1 and stereo analog inputs
  • 24-bit/192kHz digital 5.1 and stereo inputs — AES3, S/PDIF, ADAT, and TOSLINK
  • s-Lock phase lock loop word clock regeneration for ultralow jitter and rock-solid digital stability
  • Precision main and headphone level controls with a 100dB range in 0.5 dB steps
  • All controls built into an elegant, convenient desktop remote control unit
  • All I/O and audio are routed in a 2U rack mount mainframe with an external 1U 1/2 rack power supply
  • Multiple speaker set selection — 2 surround sets, up to 3 stereo sets
  • High current audiophile headphone amplifier built in — one output jack on remote control unit and one on the mainframe unit
  • Complete system level calibration (inputs, outputs, inter-channel balance, dim) and individual channel solo/mute
  • Balanced talkback microphone input and activation switch with additional external foot switch control jack
  • Fixed level 5.1 DAC output for direct digital transfers

A monitoring system for commercial engineers who demand true quality. Make it yours now.
