3 sets of stereo ins and outs.

The C-Control provides a control room matrix previously available only on consoles costing thousands, offering a unique solution for studios with multiple monitors, headphone mixes and tape or digital sources. It provides easy, heretofore impossible to achieve, instant monitor mixes or dubs. Select from 3 pairs of speakers with dim and mute. Use the talkback mic to give instructions to the musicians in the headphone mix. Push-to-talk also records slates. Includes a headphone amp with level control and 3 sets of stereo ins and outs, with dubbing capability to 3 outputs.

"Samson C-Control sounds bad."

Overall: 0.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I bought this but will not be using it. I can't hear through it properly. Darn shame. I guess I'll have to wait until Behringer steals the idea.
Sound
It really does add lo-fi to the sound. I am monitoring my MOTU 828 through 20/20bas monitors and it sounds great until I put the Samson C-Control in the chain--then it gets mushy and the imaging and detail are all gone. Darn, I really wanted this to work but it sounds gross. I may find some use for the thing, or not. Anybody want one used a few minutes only?
Features
I love the feature set. Just what I need. Too bad it sounds so bad.
Quality
Nice solid box etc., but its main job is to pass clean signal to my monitors, and it does NOT do that.
Value
Sure it's cheap, but for me it was a waste of money.
Manufacturer Support
No idea.
The Wow Factor
I like the box a lot. Solid. Fits the rack adapter solidly. Cool box. Too bad it sounds so bad.

Musical Style:

rock - soundtrack - blues - jazz
