Radial Nuance Select Studio Monitor Controller

The Nuance Select is a completely transparent studio monitoring system, giving you control over two sets of monitors and a subwoofer with zero sonic coloration.

The Nuance Select was designed with one driving principle in mind: transparent operation that doesn't color or affect the source material in any way. If you are involved in music production, you need to trust that what you are hearing through your speakers is an accurate representation of the sound coming from your audio interface — the sound that you've worked hard to achieve.

It would be counterproductive to add a monitor controller to your setup that provides helpful features at the expense of adding distortion or coloration that affects how you hear the mix. This is why every effort has been made for the Nuance Select to sound like it's not even in the signal path.

A unique patent-pending circuit design has resulted in an astounding <0.00001% Total Harmonic Distortion through the balanced outputs of the Nuance, lower than some audio test equipment can register. The 100% Class-A signal path is built without the use of capacitors, employing DC servos throughout, and it features a true stepped attenuator for the main level control.

If you have previously used other monitor controllers, we believe the Nuance Select will surprise you with its clarity and detail. You will get all the benefits of being able to switch between input sources, monitor and subwoofer outputs — all while sounding as if you have made a straight-wire connection directly from your interface to the speakers.
