“Avocet” is designed to solve the problems of accurate monitoring and volume control as required by workstation users, studios and mastering rooms alike. Avocet is a stereo controller with three digital inputs, three analog inputs and a headphone system. All digital signals are up-sampled and jitter reduced to ensure highest accuracy during D/A conversion. Avocet features dim, mute and mono functions plus a speaker select switch that sends line level balanced audio to one of three outputs. Buffered meter outputs are included. The internal headphone amplifier can be fed from the program source or via external input with provisions for a talk back function.

There are three changes to the Avocet (the new changes are in place on units manufacturered since Fall 2006). First Output #3 can work in parallel with outputs 1 or 2. This is for those who need only 2 outputs and have the desire to turn a sub woofer on or off, the OUT 3 button can be programmed to allow this type of operation. Next, the remote talk input is now non latching. The talk button on the remote will latch if pushed for less than 0.5 seconds, If it is held for more than 0.5 seconds it will be non latching. The remote input and the button on the remote can over ride each other. Lastly, a digital meter output has been added.
