Description

Edit description

Elevate your studio setup with the TC Electronic BMC-2, a high-definition D/A converter and monitor controller that brings audiophile-quality performance right to your desktop. Engineered for ultimate control and precision, this versatile tool can be used with or without a computer, making it indispensable for any professional studio environment. Effortlessly toggle between multiple digital input sources—S/PDIF (AES and AES3-id), TOS, and ADAT—and maintain complete authority over your audio levels.

One of the standout features of the BMC-2 is the unique Integrity Check (iCheck), which identifies spatial audio issues, often caused by data compression in formats like MP3 or AAC. This ensures your mixes maintain their integrity across all platforms. Integrated precision jitter-reduction technology, borrowed from TC's flagship System 6000, ensures your audio remains pristine, free from the pitfalls of optical interfacing jitter.

User-defined reference levels allow for calibrated monitoring, making sure your audio is accurately represented whether you're using speakers or headphones. The BMC-2 also features flexible output options, including analog XLR and digital S/PDIF, allowing seamless integration with a variety of audio systems. Compact yet powerful, this monitor controller is a must-have for any serious audio professional looking for a reliable, high-quality monitoring solution.

High-quality monitor level control with D/A conversion
User-defined reference levels for precise audio referencing
Integrity Check (iCheck) for identifying spatial audio issues
Precision jitter-reduction technology from System 6000

Pro level DA and monitoring tools

This is a great DA Stereo monitoring controller. Lots of great tools at the touch of a button. The DA is top quality and the overall sound is superb. It would be great if it had a set of analogue inputs too, but it accepts ADAT, SPDIF and AES so you can use it with pretty much any audio interface that has one of those, including basic PC motherboard cards that have optical SPDIF outputs.

Shame they discontinued it. These can be picked up for a very reasonable price second hand.
