{"product_id":"spl-volume-2-185058","title":"Volume 2","description":"\u003ch3\u003eVolume 2: a second iteration focused on the purity of level control\u003c\/h3\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eVolume 2\u003c\/strong\u003e follows the most direct and demanding approach to monitoring: controlling the volume \u003cstrong\u003ewithout inserting any processing\u003c\/strong\u003e between your source (audio interface, converter, player) and your listening system (active speakers, power amplifier). The choice of a \u003cstrong\u003elarge-format mechanical potentiometer\u003c\/strong\u003e and an architecture centered on XLR balancing reflects a simple philosophy: preserving signal integrity and stereo image coherence, while offering immediate ergonomics for daily use. As \"Volume 2,\" this version asserts itself as a mature iteration of this concept, designed to naturally find its place at the heart of a music production setup or a high-quality listening chain.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA monitoring controller made for demanding home studios as well as professional control rooms\u003c\/h3\u003eThe Volume 2 is intended for all situations where you want \u003cstrong\u003ereliable, repeatable, and transparent level control\u003c\/strong\u003e. In a home studio, it allows you to keep your audio interface at a stable output level (often optimal for dynamics) while adjusting the listening volume via the potentiometer, without unnecessary compromise. In a production studio, it becomes a practical central point to manage \u003cstrong\u003estereo monitoring\u003c\/strong\u003e with a \"console\" control feel, without necessarily multiplying functions.\u003cbr \/\u003eIt is also perfectly suited for building a \u003cstrong\u003esimple and high-quality playback chain\u003c\/strong\u003e: player or converter, then Volume 2, then power amplifier or active speakers. In this context, the benefit is twofold: maintaining a natural volume gesture and avoiding reliance on digital control that can sometimes make micro-adjustments less intuitive.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and design: transparency, symmetry, and ergonomics at the core\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDirect analog adjustment, without VCA or conversion\u003c\/h4\u003eThe key point of the Volume 2 is that the \u003cstrong\u003epotentiometer controls the signal directly\u003c\/strong\u003e. This approach favors an immediate adjustment feel and a streamlined audio path. It is particularly appreciated when you want to preserve the signature of your upstream conversion and preamps, without adding a digital\/analog stage or gain management via VCA that could alter the perception of the sound, especially at low listening levels.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSymmetrical XLR inputs and outputs: clean studio integration\u003c\/h4\u003eWith \u003cstrong\u003esymmetrical XLR inputs and outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Volume 2 easily integrates between an audio interface and active monitoring speakers, or between a converter and a power amplifier. The symmetry helps maintain a clean signal in a busy environment (screen power supplies, computers, power strips, network), while facilitating flexible placement on the desk or in a nearby rack. It is also a logical choice to preserve a \u003cstrong\u003estable stereo image\u003c\/strong\u003e and consistent level between channels when working on balance, panning, and depth decisions.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHigh-quality power supply with toroidal transformer\u003c\/h4\u003eThe Volume 2 adopts a \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-quality power supply unit\u003c\/strong\u003e featuring a \u003cstrong\u003etoroidal transformer\u003c\/strong\u003e. In a device placed at the heart of monitoring, power supply quality contributes to smooth and reliable operation. The goal is to ensure dependable performance over time, with a \"studio\"-oriented design: you set up, you work, and your level control remains constant and predictable, session after session.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompact chassis and easy desk placement\u003c\/h4\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ecompactness\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eelegance\u003c\/strong\u003e of the chassis have been designed for real daily use. With a format that easily fits on a desk, beside or even below a screen, the Volume 2 limits clutter and keeps the volume control within easy reach. The \u003cstrong\u003e45 mm potentiometer\u003c\/strong\u003e reinforces this ergonomic logic: a comfortable grip, smooth adjustment, and a control feel that invites precise listening level tweaks, whether for mixing, vocal tracking, or simple auditory comfort checks.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e215 x 80 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"SPL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360981864723,"sku":"185058","price":549.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/0492a49ef2df9634e53456753466adf620cdc7e2_SPL_SPLV2.jpg?v=1792629429","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/spl-volume-2-185058","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
