A Powerful Hub for Your Studio
Since its introduction, the SPL Crimson audio interface has garnered legions of fans and earned a reputation for delivering professional-grade recording, monitoring, and bang for the buck. Now SPL ups the ante with the Crimson 3, which includes all the great features of its predecessor, and adds exciting new features that will improve the quality of your recordings and streamline your workflow. Phonitor Matrix is a cross-feed function that makes working on headphones more accurate and speaker-like. Crimson 3's Talkback function now lets you communicate more flexibly with talent and collaborators, overcoming one of the drawbacks of today's DAW-based studios. Sweetwater's advice: with a total of 16 inputs, two discrete mic preamps, six recording and playback channels, and a monitor controller, proven analog circuitry, and high-quality AD/DA conversion, Crimson 3 is a powerful hub for your studio.
Speaker-like headphone monitoring with Phonitor Matrix
Due to the fact that your left ear hears only the left channel, and your right ear, only the right channel of the program material, headphones give you an exaggerated stereo perspective. This is one of the reasons that mixes done on headphones never seem to "translate." SPL has a fix for that. It's called the Phonitor Matrix, and it's basically a left-right cross-feed function that fills in the middle of your stereo headphone monitor output. The result sounds impressively natural, with a full stereo spread that sounds like youâre listening to your mix on speakers.
