SPL Marc One

• Control monitor and audio interface

with innovative features and a 32-bit AD/DA converter. A monitor controller you can also record with. And both with impressive sound quality.

• NUMBER ONE IN SOUND

For us, sound is always at the forefront. When it sounds good, we like to listen. To get that kind of sound, you need experience and technical finesse. We have incorporated both into the Uno Series.

• Speakers and subwoofer

You can listen to your production through two pairs of switchable speakers. A subwoofer is also switched on and off with speaker pair A. In the middle position of the switch, the speakers are turned off, which is convenient because you don't have to bring the volume control back.

• Keeping it under control

You can adjust the volume levels at lightning speed with the Monitor knob. In between, all input signals are equally strong. On the left, the analog stereo inputs become louder and the USB input signal becomes lower. Turning from the middle to the right does the opposite. This way you can quickly and intuitively set the right volume levels.

• Line and USB inputs

Two analog stereo inputs and one digital USB input can be connected to the Marc One. The DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) is preferably connected via USB. Other players such as CD players, mixers, mic preamps, synthesizers or an analog recorder/recorder can be connected to the analog line inputs.

• 32-bit AD/DA converter

The converter chipset is from AKM's Premium Velvet Sound series. The AK5552 is used as an analog-to-digital converter and the AK4490 as a digital-to-analog converter. Both AD and DA converters offer 32-bit processing. Velvet Sound technology makes the smallest details audible due to its low-distortion architecture. Sample rates up to 768 kHz PCM (16 times CD resolution) and DSD playback (via DoP - DSD over PCM) up to a resolution of DSD4 or DSD256 (11.2 MHz) are supported. This qualifies the Marc One for the highest resolution audio recording and playback currently available. The USB connection is class-compliant. This means that all Mac computers and iOS devices such as iPads and iPhones can use the full bandwidth of the AD/DA converter's performance without installing drivers. IOS devices require the camera adapter. For Windows, a driver is needed only if higher sample rates are desired. The driver is available for download at the bottom of this page.
