You'll be able to use your headphones more effectively when you monitor through the SPL Phonitor Mini. The Phonitor Matrix re-creates the spacial effects of listening on stereo loudspeakers (listening angle and crosstalk between left and right channels) in your headphones. Recording engineers at Sweetwater know that headphones are a great tool for magnify edit points, unwanted clicks and pops, fades, and other details in your recordings. For this type of editing, turn off the Phonitor Matrix spatial processing on the Phonitor Mini. Turn the Phonitor Matrix mode on when you're ready to make adjustments to panning, EQ, effects sends and other mixing tasks. The realistic stereo imaging of the Phonitor Matrix mode will allow you to achieve better mixing results than you otherwise would with headphones.
Wide dynamic range and ample headroom thanks to 120V operationThe Phonitor Mini employs SPL-designed op-amps that operate at 120 volts, resulting in an amazing 150dB of dynamic range. The noise floor is virtually nonexistent. Transients come through without any loss of detail, presence or spatial reference. You'll hear every nuance in your recordings, and the high headroom means you'll hear the same level of sonic accuracy at any volume level.
A capable headphone amp for checking your mixExperienced engineers know it's important to check your mixes in mono, to help identify phasing issues and to ensure proper playback on any audio system. The Phonitor Mini sports a mono/stereo switch right on the front panel to help you make sure your mixes translate if played on a mono system like a smartphone's built-in speaker.
