All user reviews for the Samson Technologies C-control

- 8 - Very good
I use it for 10 years! without any problems, however, it turns every day, sometimes 10 in H.

very good price / quality ratio, can have up to three listening systems. only A and B have a separate volume and the act of placing in the B section A.

For my part, connecting A and C. just the right balance of volumes on monitors in C, because no volume knobs.

If possible, connect all that little be symmetrical. it will save you some small noise ...

mono functions, mute, dim front handy. 4 stereo inputs (mix in, track a, track b, track c) 1 headphone, built for small talk back microphone.

Frankly, in terms of size, functionality and content of the price, I would do it again the same choice.

How long you use it:
twenty days

Have you tried many other models before acqurir:
Not

What is the particular feature you like best, the least:
The award, symtrique connections and the quality of the brand ...


How do you report qualitprix?
With the exprience, you do again this choice:

quality good price, but I add important information
the connection of the sound card C-Control doient be done symtrique and Control-C to sytme dcoute (amp, monitor amplifier, ect ..) in symtrique, why?; Simply to avoid any form of the parasite has much ...
At this price the choice I would do so ....

Matrix control studio between hand 2tk A, B 2tk, 2tk C, output monitors A, B, C (3 pairs), 2tk outputs A, B 2tk, 2tk C, exit cue to attack a headphone amplifier, switch for talkback, headphone jack in front ......
frankly, there's everything you need for a half-rack format, the only thing regrettable is the requirement to have a headphone amplifier or other, as the talkback does not pass through the headphone jack Intgr e .....

The manual is practically superfluous, troisime pair of monitor output is Specializes to a sub, that is, it is still active when you select the pair A or pair B ..... . dernires these switches automatically to each other when we select the A, and there's a volume for the B indpendant to cart bearing the volume of costs between passive or active.
practice for the talkback switch, which can send the cue or the 2TK ..... nice, the sound diminishes when it starts the talkback ...
handy, too, the buttons Sun, Mute and Mono, which are so aptly named ....
door and everything is clear, the rear connectors are large for a half rack, and therefore think, for the costs of symtrique active and between the hands of RCA output and between sub 2tkC for example a CD ...... There's almost no need for adapter connectors for most existing home studio dj!

Hard to say, I've had one week, but I have not heard anything bad, looks right and transparent, that's all you asked!
Intgr talkback microphone is not in any Premire quality, but it's not the most Gnant .......

I just bought the 50 C-control! A model for expo! Obviously the price for that silence there is also THE FIRST thing I thought by buying it, "I risk anything," but to use force, I flat out this little trick, suddenly I find The models mackie home or presonus relatively expensive ......
trs complete, well thought out for its size, must dbrouiller to find a good location, not far from the keyboard / mouse, because it is not big and once any cable, there's more Cables that box!!
I just wish that the talkback does not pass in its own headphone jack, a headphone amplifier requires a shame about the small configuration .......

This is a matrix of routing, allowing you to choose between a (mixer, CD player, ...) and an output router (3 monitor outputs). There is also a headphone amp, and a talkback circuit for headphone mix musician.

Ide was Samson's good, there's not much like a machine, but I is zero, you will understand later.

The zero-yet. Simply because we can note that a machine REALLY WORKS.

The Samson C Control has a huge problem of reliability and design. I commend one, and the problem, that when the c'tait potentiomtre silent volume to a minimum (so-called attnuation total), the sound went out, but in addition, that left. I did all the tests that were necessary, and always the same conclusion. In addition, the balance left / right to do that recreated that half of the race of potentiomtre, and when you have monitors and more powerful you are working in a not very pice s great, has r. .. ch carrment So you say, I could just fall on one machine dfecteuse. But I sent my C Control, and it returned me a new one. And it worked well for ... 1 day, and then, same problem. Also, I saw a similar case later in this page. So I put everything to zero-because it is so unacceptable that a brand and a product that Submitted default construction and scam people with a product with rotten rotten.

Correct, except that the quality of the headphone amplifier following variation on the machines. My first C Control with a good prampli headphone, while the second is silent much worse, with more breath and mdiums more aggressive.

I do not reffer this choice. It's a shame a machine not working properly SERIES.

Samson made ECONOMY design and also on the quality of components it uses.

I took the trouble to write this opinion to avoid that other people do to make ....

- What are the effects or types of effects available?
Is a matrix of row-level 4 between stereos, 4 stereo outputs, 3 speaker outputs and a talkback mic Intgr.

As the unit is small and lightweight, it can be used as easily as stereo balun, mlangeur source, dsymtriseur. Like a little Swiss Army knife.

Analog.

Cue a stereo (TRS jacks x2)
1 headphone jack (TRS)
3 speakers outputs: 1 balanced (TRS jacks x2) and two unbalanced (RCA x2)
no MIDI

- Is this a rack or rack MODEL?
is a half-rack unit height that can be placed on a stand 19 inches.
It can also be left on his desk with feet variable slope.

A headphone deuxime apprci would be a bonus.

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?
Simple plug in and use it for everyday use.

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
For standard use, no problem except a small mistake here or easily identifiable, so no consquence.
However, limitations of the device are not always clearly marked and you have to test ourselves even to understand what can be connected to what and especially what can not be connected what.

For what I can tell, the sound is transparent.
The function Dim, Mute and Mono are very practical and effective

- How long have you use it?
2 weeks

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
+ + ACCS easy all in one function key. Voices can be shuffled, transfer, turn down the volume, switch to mono, use the talkback by pressing a single button always judiciously place.
+ + Function A / B. Once levels acts between monitors A and B, it only takes one button to compare their mix of two sets of monitors DIFFERENT
+ + Connection complte and a good mix of symtrique and asymtrique. Ideal for a home studio that possde (often) both types of connections.
+ + Possible to use it as easily or symtriseur dsymtriseur.
+ + Very small and convenient with its keys in faade, it has found its place on my desk without taking up space.
+ + Sun Auto Cue Out to when using the back talk.

- Routing to the Cue Out is weird. Apparently it is impossible to route among others that the Mix-in (and talk back)
- Each pair of input / output dpendantes. if the active input, output is automatically cut.
- No choice +4 / -10 for input / output jacks can be used with the TRS TS but the level drops without being able to fix it.
- No rglage indpendant speaker output C
- Plop dsagrable ignition in the headphones (fortunately nothing in the monitors)

no, hacks with the mixing desk or a patch.

- How do you report qualitprix?
Fantastic! The routing capabilities are not as compltes as the Mackie Big Knob, but for the price, there is no photo.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
Yes.

Matrix Audio CONTRL

connections: jack / RCA

half-rack screw in a 1U rack Tagra available.

It has long DCON until I take the trouble to dpiauter your checks potentiomtres of faade and paste two liters of anti-spitting in the baba. After this point he began work properly, finally giving my home studio use the agrment expected. Cel no big problem I had (the sound still came out even with all the knobs zero, and only a ct o of a Difference in volume between my two MSP5 ... and the same for the pramp headphone, but with headphones lol).
It is annoying to have Fully disassemble the gear for it to work a nine little, o my bill.
No luck, APRS an evening marked by 5 or 6 successive cuts juice in my neighborhood, the internal fuse has a grill and, despite the change of fuse can not turn it back over 5 seconds bam! has rept. Heck, when he comments barely walk!

Used (slightly) in recent months
Comprehensive level of features and intuitive
on the other hand, in terms of quality, we are counting! He released today (its not happening only on one side, unless I was doing a slight downward pressure on the knob of the overall volume). So I wanted to take it apart to try to solve this problem and as the screws were screwed to the Chinese, I could not open the chassis ... worse, I finally just "forced" and a rap unlucky I damaged the chassis and electronics, which will now cancel my warranty ... and I'm going to throw the device into the trash :-(
Finally, it will teach me to believe that Samson gear is better than the Behringer ... because I had the ultimate proof that this is wrong. In this price range, there's nothing to do, this kind of product can not be that big of crap ... not be fooled ...
If I were to buy such a device, I would buy a brand certainly more reliable ... SPL for example ... It is more expensive, but it will certainly take more than 3 months!

I use it for several weeks. Yamaha speakers with bass and MSP5 HS10W on protools 9, among others. Super. Matter of convenience, pity that the talk does not go back into the circuit headphone unit. For a home studio that would be good practice. Finally. Beware of RCA outputs for the speakers only B + C.
Jack only for inputs and outputs A. Just a bit because the device is small. Well that is also an advantage. But some mm more would have been more convenient.
His clear and transparent. Value for money.

The feature are brilliant and all I could ask for regarding a DAW set-up. 4 source inputs, 2 speaker output selectors, mono and dim options, talkback, producer and musician cue outputs, talkback level adjuster for all UNDER $100.

$99-

The sound is enough to do what I do, that is get rough mixes together to bring to a better mixing enviroment and score to film, tv, and commericials. The only severe bad thing about this box is that I've noticed the sound to be a bit crunched or naturally compressed and a bit colored. This is not good, but you learn to deal and would rather use this than a mackie or another cheap console. The signal path seems simple, which probobly means better.

This unit is the perfect size and a dream to use... Doubt I will ever contact customer support.

I love this box and I think it's invention is genius.
