3 INTRODUCTION
Designed to provide the lowest noise operation possible in an active monitor controller, the
ACTIVE-1 is ideal for applications where both signal attenuation and boost is needed.
Building on the feature set of the PASSIVE-1, the ACTIVE-1 also includes LED level-metering and
convenient switch selectable +4dBu/-10dBV input stage operation. The ACTIVE-1 is automatically
recognized by the host computer as a USB device for easy DAW recording and playback via the
on-board USB I/O.
It allows you to connect multiple input signals, route them to various destinations, and control their
levels. The ACTIVE-1 is an ideal centerpiece for monitor control in home, professional, and project
studio applications.
