Imperium 1U NG (Black)

Imperium is a digitally controlled passive stereo monitor console for precision operation of up to three monitor systems. The circuit is fully balanced from input to output.

All audio processing is done 100% passively without any kind of transistors, op-amps or other regulatory framework, giving you a full uncoloured performance without noise floor or headroom limitation! Exactly what you need in a professional mixing and mastering environment.

Eight user-defined reference levels ensure that you can always recall your favourite mix levels quick and easy, at high, mid and low volume. Plus you also get rock solid stereo imaging with extreme accuracy.

Are eight levels enough? You bet – In fact it will make you work differently, more focused and effective than with a conventional volume control. You can get back to exactly the same mix the next day or the week after and be sure that it is the same listening experience every time. Again, this is very important when doing your final mix or mastering, which is rarely finished in one day.

Store your favourite settings in Imperium’s onboard flash memory – including programming which inputs have the Level Bypass function enabled, or which outputs have the Parallel Output on by default.

Imperium firmware is upgradable.

You can configure the Imperium NG with a number of control options and additions:

TouchOSC – Access all Imperium functionalitites with TouchOSC.
WiFi option card – Control your Imperium directly from a MAC/PC or iOS/Android device using TouchOSC.
USB option card – Control your Imperium from MAC/PC using TouchOSC and/or an Elgato StreamDeck.
Mastering option – Add even more functionallity and workflow to the Imperium.
Custom caps – Over 50 different caps for the Imperium to choose from.
Trinnov option – Interface with Trinnov systems, and control your Trinnov presets directly from your Imperium front or TouchOSC layout.
Barefoot MEME option – Control the DSP modeling of your Barefoot monitors directly from the Imperium TouchOSC layout or StreamDeck.

Features:

• Mono & Cut, both make perfect sense.. Cut is always “in” at boot up. Take good care of you precious speakers and more importantly your ears!

• Phase Left CH: Phase Reversing the left channel on all inputs
