Gaming Audio Guide is taking a look at modern electronics from the perspective of a competitive gamer and audiophile. After the online platform has already published a video about our headphone amplifier SPL Phonitor x last year, there is now a new video review about our audio interface & monitor controller SPL Crimson 3.
You can find the complete video online at Youtube. Here, we provide you with a little summary in written form.
Introduction:
“The SPL Crimson 3 is an all analog audio interface and monitor controller. It features SPL’s proprietary Phonitor Matrix crossfeed, an artist talkback mode and true latency free analog monitoring.”
“It is a pretty clean interface, really great looking – SPL is German craftmanship and this thing looks and feels outstanding. It really is a beautifully built unit.”
In practice:
“The headphone outputs are really powerful, they do a very good job.”
“The talkback microphone is really handy, if you’re in a small group environment, where you have an artist that you want to communicate to.“
Phonitor Matrix:
“The big seller is the Phonitor Matrix. If you are someone who has to mix on headphones, it really is hands down the only crossfeed that I’ve used that I find acceptable – and not just acceptable, it works wonders. It’s really a beautiful implementation.”
“The other thing about this unit that I just absolutely love and adore is the fact that it has all analog live monitoring.”
Conclusion:
“The ability to have real time analog monitoring is so, so nice.”
“The Phonitor Matrix is outstanding, there’s just nothing else on the market like it. I love mixing with the Matrix when I’m using headphones. It’s really an experience you have to try.”
“It’s a beautiful sounding unit. I think it’s an oustanding interface.”
