Universal
Audio has partnered with original Euphonix founders Scott and Rob
Silfvast to design a revolutionary series of DAW “expansion &
enhancement” products under the Desktop Console System (DCS) family
brand. DCS combines UA’s pedigree for sonic excellence with the
usability/features of professional consoles in a new type of convenient
“micro-console” desktop form factor, ideal for today’s project/producer
studios. The first two products in the DCS series (the Remote Pre &
Monitor Master) combine a base station with a DCS-Link™ connected remote
that puts every control within direct proximity to the user in a
convenient remote format.
The DCS Remote
Preamp combines two console-grade mic-pres, specialized monitoring
capabilities for artist & engineer, and easy remote control/DAW
integration making an ideal upgrade to the basic features/sonics found
in most audio interfaces. With 100% digital control of analog, the
Remote Preamp offers fully remote-controllable, highly detailed,
uncolored recording based on its advanced transimpedance design. The two
channels of the DCS Remote Preamp can be used dual mono or can be joined
for stepped, matched-stereo gain structuring. Plus a Mid/Side decoder is
included, allowing for direct monitoring of the M/S result while
recording.
The Remote Pre also features a high-quality headphone amp with
“monitoring only” effects such as user-tailored reverb and EQ, making it
easy to quickly create an artist monitor mix without having to deal with
complex configuration or latency issues inside the DAW. Best of all, the
remote control can be placed anywhere from desktop to recording room,
giving the artist flexibility unlike any other device in its class.
Position the preamp as close to the source as desired, or remotely
control your own recording experience away from the computer as you keep
the remote close at hand. Lastly, the DCS Remote Preamp offers high
quality backlit VU metering for observing Preamp Output or DAW/Cue
levels.
