Drawmer were showing some new monitor controllers at MusikMesse:-
CMC2 - an entry-level compact controller, with the same audio electronics as the high-end controllers, but in a compact package and a slightly reduced feature set. 3 inputs; 2 Speaker Outs and Mix-Check facilities, etc.
MC7.1 - flagship Surround monitor controller, with 2 sets of 7.1 or 5.1 Inputs on balanced jacks or DB25 connectors; a 7.1 or 5.1 output, and a comprehensive Stereo section which is completely independent.
If you have a 7.1 input, you can bounce it down to the Stereo section to solo any of the Surround channels in the Stereo section.
Full Talkback (including optional external mic i/p) and footswitch control of talkback, and comprehensive Mic-Check functions.
