Great Pres and Large-format Console Functionality for DAWs!
The UA DCS Remote Preamp is designed to bridge the gap of the analog console and the digital DAW. By pairing many of the essential features of the talkback section of a console with a pair of ultra-clean mic pres, Universal Audio has created the ultimate accessory for modern DAW users that miss the good old days of large format consoles. The DCS Remote Preamp was created through a partnership with original Euphonix founders Scott and Rob Silfvast to design a revolutionary series of DAW "expansion & enhancement" products under the Desktop Console System (DCS) family brand. DCS combines UA's pedigree for sonic excellence with the usability/features of professional consoles in a new type of convenient "micro-console" desktop form factor, ideal for today's project/producer studios.

Universal Audio DCS Remote Preamp At-a-Glance:
  • Console-grade Preamps
  • Enhanced features for monitoring


Console-grade Preamps
The DCS Remote Preamp combines two console-grade mic-pres, specialized monitoring capabilities for artist & engineer, and easy remote control/DAW integration making an ideal upgrade to the basic features/sonics found in most audio interfaces. With 100% digital control of analog, the Remote Preamp offers fully remote-controllable, highly detailed, uncolored recording based on its advanced transimpedance design. The two channels of the DCS Remote Preamp can be used dual mono or can be joined for stepped, matched-stereo gain structuring. Plus a Mid/Side decoder is included, allowing for direct monitoring of the M/S result while recording.

Enhanced features for monitoring
The Remote Pre also features a high-quality headphone amp with "monitoring only" effects such as user-tailored reverb and EQ, making it easy to quickly create an artist monitor mix without having to deal with complex configuration or latency issues inside the DAW. Best of all, the remote control can be placed anywhere from desktop to recording room, giving the artist flexibility unlike any other device in its class. Position the preamp as close to the source as desired, or remotely control your own recording experience away from the computer as you keep the remote close at hand. Lastly, the DCS Remote Preamp offers high quality backlit VU metering for observing Preamp Output or DAW/Cue levels.

Universal Audio DCS Remote Preamp Features
  • Two channel linkable, console grade transimpedance mic preamp/DI
  • Mono, Stereo or Mid/Side recording with decoder monitoring
  • Monitoring features such as high quality headphone amp, Reverb and EQ
  • DCS-Link - 100% digitally controlled analog signal path via (CAT-5) interconnect
  • Remote design allows up to 300' distances from preamp for large or multi-room setups
  • frequency response - 4Hz to 150kHz, +0/-3dB
  • Microphone Inputs: XLR balanced, transformer-less


Universal Audio DCS Remote Preamp - The Console and the DAW Converge!

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "This is the perfect addtion to a high-end project studio or a high-end voiceover booth. I was amazed at how easy it is to use and how perfect it is for working on my home recordings. This has been a fairly difficult product for me to understand until I watched the DVD and actually had a chance to use it. First and foremost this pre is Universal Audio all the way! The remote for this unit has so many capabilities it will make your head spin. Whether you work alone or in pairs this is the remote preamp to get for your studio and even live recording rig."
Carson McClain

  "This box is a must have for anyone working alone in the studio, or anyone who needs some distance between their pres and the rest of their setup. At the heart of the DCS Remote Preamp are two great sounding UA pres, along with enough I/O to make this the centerpiece of your studio. There are DI inputs for guitars or basses, line level inputs, outputs for studio monitors, preamp outputs, and a headphone output. All of this can be controlled via the remote allowing you to have total control over your pres, and headphone mix, while allowing you to be up to 300 feet away from the actual ins and outs. You also have control over input selections, cue mix, reverb, EQ, and phantom power right on the remote unit, and because the remote has VU meters built in you can keep your pres out of sight and still have total control and great visual feedback. I've been waiting for something like this for years!"
Luke Herian
