Audiolinear AXIS Passive Monitoring Controller
The zero compromise passive desktop monitoring controller
Designed and built by hand in England
Overview
AXIS is a zero compromise, high-end desktop monitor controller. AXIS is entirely passive in its design, and offers a completely transparent signal path. There are no active electronics to add interference or distortion to your source.
High Quality Components
The main feature of AXIS is it’s high-quality, Swiss-made, 24-position stepped output volume attenuator, with large 64mm Ø dial. The positions are ultra-smooth, and are 2dB steps to -30dB, 5dB steps thereafter to -65dB. The attenuator uses high-quality 1% resistors throughout it’s resistive network.
Each output has a dedicated trim control on the top panel. The controls are all high-quality, smooth-turn potentiometers, made by ALPS. Each control has a range of -20dB to 0dB.
Connectivity
Two stereo inputs via 1/4″ TRS Jack sockets, for connection from your audio interface or other line-level equipment. Accepts both TS and TRS Jack connections.
One stereo input via RCA/Phono sockets, for connecting CD players or other unbalanced equipment.
One stereo 1/8″ TRS mini-jack socket, for quick referencing to any device with a 1/8″ TRS socket (iPhone, Android, iPod, iPad etc.)
Three stereo outputs via 1/4″ TRS Jack sockets.
