While 5.1 surround has become well established in film and HD production, stereo is still king and remains the standard for producing and delivering music. Accordingly, we offer our monitor controller in stereo only versions - the m904 (and m904b).

The m904 combines all the same features and technology found in our flagship m906 surround controller, and is the perfect nerve center for any type of audio production facility - from project studio to world class mastering facility.

The m904 offers a full complement of balanced and unbalanced stereo analog and digital inputs, the latter featuring our latest generation reference 24bit/192kHz DAC technology with our proprietary s-Lock™ PLL for rock solid digital stability (more info can be found in the technical discussion). All inputs and outputs are easily user calibrated for seamless integration into any playback environment with all types of playback equipment.

The m904 is configured as a 2U rack chassis, with all system controls built into the front panel, or is available as the m904b, with a blank 2U mainframe which is controlled by a separate remote control unit (m904RCU sold separately). Additionally, a standard m904 can be used with the m904RCU, so the user can select between local and remote control.

Included as a standard feature is our critically acclaimed reference headphone amplifier circuitry (as featured in our m902), with two output jacks on the mainframe or one jack on the m904b and one on the m904RCU. This circuitry provides absolutely pristine audiophile headphone amplification for critical monitoring, mixing and mastering.

While the m904 provides an unparalleled list of useful features, the real achievement for us was to implement all of this while maintaining our trademark musical, high fidelity audio performance. All components are selected and design decisions made for absolute audio transparency and long term reliability, making this the perfect link between your mix and monitors.

The m904 is here to empower audio professionals with the highest performance and most comprehensive feature set that any stereo monitor control system has to offer.
