MV71 Surround Audio Controller Debuts at Musikmesse
 April 6, 2005
Violet Audio has created the MV71 to offer a remote control surround volume solution in a convenient,
easy to use and professional package.
Designed for studio applications, such as mixing surround music, studio
recording, or post production, the MV71 features fully balanced inputs and outputs, along with other
connection options for a total of 24 inputs and 12 outputs. The MV71 is essentially an audio hub and surround
volume control unit that combined with any professional active monitor configuration provides a
multi-channel studio monitoring system.
Audio signals can be routed from any of the available inputs to either the balanced XLR 7.1 surround outputs or to
either of the two designated stereo record output pairs A (balanced) & B (unbalanced). This feature not only
provides a useful patch-bay solution, but also allows conversions of balanced to unbalanced signals and vice
versa.
The main control unit system software has individual output and master calibration adjustment capabilities for fine
tuning your listening environment. Other system functions includes Bass & Treble controls for use on the master 1
& 2 outputs, system wide mute functionality, stored last state setting, and a telephone LCD call announcement
display.
The self powered MV71 wired remote provides convenient controls for volume adjustments of the 7.1
surround outputs. With a large format volume wheel, two control buttons, blue backlit 16x2 character LCD display,
and a built in infra-red receiver (for use with the included hand-held wireless remote control), the MV71 wired
remote provides all the necessary features required to control the functionality of the main control unit. The
included infra-red remote of course offers all the additional benefits that wireless control provides.
For studio use in critical recording environments the MV71 has an RJ15 telephone input connection for call
announcement display on the wired remotes LCD display panel. By turning down the ringer on your telephone
users will get visual display notification of any incoming calls.
