The E MON-1/M is the world’s first in-rack audio monitor capable of outputting and/or displaying audio from Dolby® E®, Dolby® Digital® and PCM streams de-embedded from HD-SDI or SD-SDI. We worked closely with Dolby Laboratories to ensure development of a product that would meet high standards for the monitoring of both Dolby E distribution and Dolby Digital emission coding systems.

The E MON-1/M features an exceptionally high quality audio monitoring system offering premium quality multi-channel audio monitoring as well as professional level metering in a compact two rack space cabinet. This unit contains three audiophile-quality drivers and three power amplifiers; two speakers and amplifiers reproduce midrange and high frequency information in stereo, while the third amp/driver combination handles summed LF information below the 500 Hz crossover point.

Eight 53 segment high-resolution tri-color LED level meters show simultaneous VU and PPM for superior level-metering. Output limiter circuits are incorporated to protect the speakers, and extensive magnetic shielding allows placement immediately adjacent to video monitors with no color impurities.

The unique design provides optimally focused sound for operators in an ultra near field (1 to 3 ft.) working environment and offers performance comparable to that of many separate monitor pairs, yet does so without the installation hassles, awkward speaker placements and "added-on" look. This provides for a higher SPL for the operator while reducing overall ambient sound and adjacent bay crosstalk. Extended HF response reveals potential problems with audio whine or hiss. Electronic rather than acoustic cancellation of bass frequencies provides positive audible detection of out-of-phase (reversed polarity) audio feeds.
