Details
Controls: 42 illuminated push-buttons, 12 precision rotary switches; per-input phase reversal (L/R), low-cut 12dB/oct filter (20/25/30/40/50/60Hz), high-cut 12dB/oct filter (12/14/16/18/22/27kHz), +/-10dB input gain (0.5dB steps + fixed +5dB switch), output gain -5 to +5dB in 0.5dB steps, output mute, 23-step rotary monitor volume control (-55dB to 0dB)
I/O: 4 switchable analog inputs, 6 switchable stereo inserts (insert 4 supports parallel wet/dry blend), 2 sets of stereo speaker/monitor outputs; all on gold-plated XLR 3-pin connectors
Notable use: Central routing/monitoring hub for mastering rooms, tying together the MEA-2/MLA-2/MLA-4/MPL-2/MDS-2 chain and multiple monitor paths; successor to the original MTC-1.
Notes: FLAG device_class: MTC-1X is a mastering signal-routing and monitor-control hub, not a conventional 'monitor controller' in the near-field-speaker-selector sense; mapped to Monitor Controller as the closest fit per instructions. FLAG model naming: the task named 'MTC-1'; current production model is the MTC-1X (successor/current revision) confirmed on both Studiocare UK and RSPE Audio current dealer catalogs — MTC-1X used here as the current equivalent. Weight ~8kg, depth behind panel 260mm. Country of manufacture inferred from retailer tags; maselec.com unreachable during research.
