Grace Design m906

As the computer increasingly becomes the de-facto tool for audio production, the need for the traditional large format console becomes muted, while the need for a high quality studio monitor controller becomes more and more vital. Enter our new m906 high fidelity 5.1 monitor controller.

The original concept for building the m906 was simply to provide a high fidelity level control for engineers working with 5.1 surround playback systems. From there, however, we became blissfully carried away and ultimately obsessed with creating the most full featured and highest quality monitor controller available.

So at its core, the m906 is a purist level control for monitoring surround audio sources. But a closer look reveals a totally comprehensive feature set that makes this system the essential nerve center for any large recording facility centered around a high-definition digital audio workstation.
