The Monitor 2 combines all the necessities of a professional monitor desk with elegant design feature aimed at speed and clarity in use - such as Split outputs that allow easy connections to a FOH mixer without using splitter leads. And because versatility is a priority in all of the Spirit Range designs, the Monitor 2 is flexible enough to perform FOH mixing where no other mixer is available.
Available in 24, 32 and 40 channel frame sizes, Spirit Monitor 2 has twelve sends including two stereo pairs specifically for in-ear monitoring. All Monitor sends are pre-post fader switchable and, in addition, each input has a built-in mic splitter, negating the need for dedicated splitter boxes on stage.
Monitor 2 has 4 band EQ section with two mid-swept frequencies on every input, plus EQ in-out switches. Other features include a DIM Switch, alleviating feedback problems by immediately attenuating each monitor output by 6dB, two dedicated effects returns and two house mic heeds, allowing performers with in-ear Monitors to hear the audience as part of their mix.
Soundcraft
Founded in 1973, Soundcraft first made its mark with the launch of the Series 1, the first mixing console in a flightcase. Back in the early 70's, the music touring business was just beginning - and the transportable mixing desk quickly became popular among the bands and the new PA companies that were springing up to rent out sound equipment.
From what was then a small company in central London, Soundcraft expanded and started to diversify. The company designed a mixer for recording - the Series 2 - and began to build a reputation for great-sounding desks, which is often referred to as the favoured 'British Sound'.
Design and innovation has always been one of Soundcraft's major strengths. Over the years it has introduced a number of industry-favoured consoles such as the Series 4, 2400, TS24, 8000, 200B, 6000, Delta, SAC200 and the Spirit Folio range, and more recently the Series FIVE, FIVE Monitor and Broadway.
Today Soundcraft has a network of 88 distributors selling and supporting its products world-wide. Part of the Harman Pro Group, Soundcraft is still very much the dedicated professional mixing console designer and manufacturer it was back in 1973. It now boasts a range of mixers which are designed for use in live sound, recording, post-production, TV and radio production and disco applications.
Harman is an international company which comprises a group of dedicated manufacturers of audio equipment spanning professional audio, in-car systems, multimedia and hi-fi consumer products.
