The Nuance Select is a completely transparent studio monitoring system, giving you control over two sets of monitors and a subwoofer with zero sonic coloration.

The Nuance Select is able to deliver remarkably low distortion and transparency through its patent pending Clarity Circuit. Every aspect of the Clarity Circuit was designed with an overarching goal of keeping distortion to an absolute minimum, so you can hear every detail of the mix without compromise. The Nuance Select uses 100% Class A circuitry (including the headphone amplifiers) to eliminate zero-cross distortions that are inherent to Class A/B op amps, and an ultra low noise internal power supply is also employed to further reduce the overall noise characteristics of the circuit. A true stepped attenuator is employed for the main level control, which is formed around a 21-position gold contact switch and paired with a string of carefully selected precision resistors. Last but not least, the Nuance Select has zero capacitors in the audio signal path, as these can act as high pass filters and cause additional distortion: in their place DC Servo’s are used throughout the signal path. The overall result is a level of Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) that is so low it is difficult to measure – 0.00001%.

FEATURES

  • Silently switch between two sets of monitors & a subwoofer

  • Dual stereo input sources with an assignable Aux output

  • Two independent headphone amplifiers with source selection

  • Extremely low distortion for complete transparency

Control without Coloration
The Nuance Select is a studio monitor controller designed so you can hear every single detail through your speakers, with a distortion profile so low that it cannot be measured by most audio testing equipment. Complete audio transparency is achieved through our innovative Clarity Circuit that allows you to hear the true mix through your speakers without any sacrifice in audio quality, all while still providing you with total control over your monitor setup.

Looking the Part
Housed in a robust steel enclosure with a milled aluminum faceplate, the Nuance Select will fit the aesthetic of any studio space and easily incorporate into your workflow, with a streamlined approach to the feature set. Backlit monitor selection and control switches are complemented by oversized chrome knobs on the headphone and master level controls.

Inputs, Outputs, and Useful Add-ons
The Nuance Select features two sets of stereo source inputs, along with two sets of balanced TRS outputs for powered speakers. A full-range subwoofer output is also included that can be activated with either set of speakers as desired. Two independent headphone amplifiers are available for monitoring or control room tracking – each headphone output can be assigned to its own stereo source so you can feed a cue mix to an artist while monitoring the main mix yourself. The headphone outputs are provided on easily accessible front panel jacks, and a stereo Aux output is available on the rear panel that can be used to feed an additional headphone amplifier for live room tracking.
