BMC-2 is a dedicated Digital-to-Analog Converter and high quality
‘hands-on’ Monitor Control that’s an ideal solution for you, whatever
your audio production or monitoring set-up – be it digital or analog.
We
at TC Electronic realize that predictable, ultra-low latency speaker
and headphone control is an important part of your production process,
and with BMC-2 such luxury is always available to you – regardless of
the state of the computer at the heart of your system.
This handy
self-contained desktop unit can be operated without a Mac or PC,
offering you instant and practical control of sound levels. As well as
controlling the listening level, BMC-2 allows you to switch between
three digital input sources – S/PDIF, AES3, TOS and ADAT, and confirm if
those inputs are synchronous or not.
BMC-2 drives one set of
analog speakers, one set of digital speakers and a set of headphones.
Calibrated listening is available with both sets of speakers and the
headphone output.
But it’s not all about DAC and Level Control –
BMC-2 also puts user-definable reference levels at your fingertips. You
simply hit the front panel-mounted REF button and BMC-2 will attenuate
the output to a user-defined sound pressure level, so reference level
monitoring is always just a single button-press away.
BMC-2
precision re-clocks all inputs, and features high performance jitter
rejection based on patented JET technology that was originally developed
for our flagship System 6000. All the benefits of optical interfacing
without the problems – asymmetries are corrected and jitter is
completely removed from the equation.
Analog output offers wide
dynamic range on XLR connectors. Peak level metering and Integrity Check
– or ‘iCheck’ – is also available on the selected input. iCheck reveals
if the signal is spatially compromised, e.g. because of data reduction,
such as MP3 or AAC encoded at too low a bit rate.
BMC-2 is a
self-contained desktop unit that works right out of the box with no need
for a computer for setup. It interfaces directly with all new Macs and
most PCs used for audio production – just attach the supplied 12V DC
power adaptor.
