Built-in Phonitor Matrix technology

Phonitor Matrix technology allows intelligent crossfading of channels to brilliantly emulate the experience of listening to monitors within the studio control room.

For the Phonitor X model SPL have included a streamlined control set including four switchable speaker angle settings, and adjustable crossfade to alter interaural level difference (essentially adjusting the influence of room size characteristics during playback) in six stepped settings.
