    2 months ago this beautiful baby was integrated in my home studio.
    The installation is not that easy. I struggled a bit ... Then after some trouble, I managed to start the analysis with the supplied microphone ...
    I saw ... Corrections are automatically imported into the device. Everything is done. Your listening is corrected.
    Warning correction is for your sweet spot ...
    I like the knob, a little big knob of Mackie.
    No coloration.
    A good product.

    I almost did not buy it as the reviews on the net were negative and I do not regret not having followed.

    Product of good quality, very convenient, comes with software and drivers for days (installed on Win August 64 bit carefree). Calibration worked the first cost, gives excellent results for home studio use and can be enabled / disabled on the fly.

    Product recommend especially with JBL monitors in the same range as all fits perfectly.

    I use it for 7 months

    I have not tried other models before but I had seen turn Presonus Monitor Station. It is also seeing this I decided to acquire a monitoring controller.

    I love the big knob for volume, really accurate.
    The treatment given to the sound is really correct, especially since I work in a room not at all treated for computer music (my living room). This is not a panacea, but it's not correct bad anyway ...
    The ability to connect multiple sources is not too bad. So I have my sound card studio "A", I put a RCA "B" to connect if my soundcard DJ, and I connected a mini-jack "C" for side listening leisure (smartphone or laptop)

    In negative quibble a bit, this is the mo…

    In negative quibble a bit, this is the mode of selection of sources is not very obvious.

    The quality / price is not bad, as it costs only a few dollars more than the Mackie Big Knob, but the treatment in addition, it makes a difference.

    Of course I would do this choice. Now it remains for me to get in line at my monitors

    I then utilisse of 3 years
    What I love most: this is the calibration operation of the room, with extremely serious calibration frequency scan. It does not last long, but I advise you to leave the place, the volume calibrated at 85 dB, is strong.
    Result: fixed frequency stationary presented graphically and automatically applied to the main exit of the MSC-1. Not to mention the optimization of the audio with determination and linking sound volumes to and from the PC or MAC.
    You can also add a bass (but uncorrected curve by MSC-1).

    What I like least: a single headphone somewhat feeble that does not sound fantastic.
    It lacks a button "Mono" directly accessible, indispensable to judge…

    What I like least: a single headphone somewhat feeble that does not sound fantastic.
    It lacks a button "Mono" directly accessible, indispensable to judge rapidemment of phase correlation.
    Hence my rating: 9/10

    The value for money is excellent, it is the insurance if you know mix, not to over-dosing or under-dosing some specific frequency ranges. A while Excellent: Calibration of the sound system, corrections and stationary frequencies Monitoring Station with a large button cool to handle.

    I felt the difference on my mixes, you avoid overdosing or underdosing, particulièremment in the midrange.

    Almost indispensable if one starts in home studio and if we do not know much about acoustics.

    Good price, for the beginner, home studio, buggy software

    JBL MSC1 Monitor System ControllerPublished on 09/04/11 at 02:24
    It took me aesthetically, RMC (room mode correction) find it's use.
    It features: master volume control, A/B speaker select, 3 source input select, headphone out, signal present and clip indication, USB 2.0 interface.
    Cons:
    Noisy, the volume knob has a tendency to be unresponsive. Then at times when left alone, it would jump decibels from very low to startlingly high dB levels, this unit gets too hot too fast.
    Software really bad.
    Price looks appealing.
