Description

The SAT-2™ is a passive stereo audio device that provides you with a transparent level control wherever you may need it, either at the output of a pair of high-gain mic preamps, or between your recording interface and a pair of powered speakers as a compact desktop monitor controller.

Ultra-quiet monitor controller

When using the SAT-2 as a monitor controller, simply connect it in between your playback device and a pair of powered speakers for an easy-access master volume control. Mute and mono switches allow you to silence the outputs or check mixes for mono phase compatibility, while a handy dim switch with adjustable level control allows you to temporarily lower the output volume without losing the main volume setting.

Attenuation in the studio

The SAT-2 can also be used to attenuate signals before sending them to your audio interface, so you can drive your mic preamps hard for coloration without clipping the inputs of the digital audio converter. A high quality 4-pole rotary knob ensures consistent L-R tracking over the entire range of the trim pot, fully maintaining the left-right balance of stereo sources.

1. MONO: Sums the left and right outputs to mono

2. MUTE:Silences the outputs of the SAT-2

3. MASTER LEVEL: Sets the overall output level Passes signal at unity gain (no attenuation) when turned fully clockwise

4. DIM ON: Used to reduce output levels temporarily without affecting the setting on the master level control

5. DIM LEVEL: Sets the amount of signal attenuation applied when Dim On is engaged

6. OUTPUTS: XLR outputs for a pair of powered speakers or the inputs of a recording interface

7. INPUTS: TRS ¼” or XLR inputs are available for the left and right channels

8. NO SLIP PAD: Provides electrical & mechanical isolation and prevents the unit from sliding around

SAT-2 Applications:

- Use the SAT-2 as a monitor controller

Connect between your audio interface and powered speakers, utilizing the level control as well as the dim and mute switches.

- Attenuate the output of a hot mic preamp or compressor

Use the trim control on the SAT-2 to avoid overloading or clipping the inputs of your recording device, while retaining the character of your preamps cranked up to their sweet spot.

- Use the SAT-2 for parallel effects processing

Take the output of a mic preamp into the SAT-2, engage the mono switch, and connect one of the SAT-2 outputs directly to your recording interface, and the other to an effects device and then to a second recording track. You can then adjust the blend between the two tracks in your DAW.

- Attenuate stereo outputs for live or broadcast use

Use the SAT-2 to trim down the output of an aux on a mixing console and feed production audio to video cameras or field recorders.

- Add a level control to a multi-room PA system

Interface between the aux output of a PA mixer and powered speakers in another room in the venue, providing local volume control for each zone.

Good gear

alex b. 19.04.2020

Pros:
Small footprint
Precise contols
No noise
No noticeable signal tampering
VERY useful DIM feature
Solid build / good rubber pad to avoid scratching surfaces or slide away

Cons:
Black front panel with grey labels or reversed - not really the best choice.
Height is a bit more than one rack unit - pity
Non-detended pot (as most units in this price range)

Otherwise; typical Radial quality product - can recommend!
