| The m905 continues to sell at an incredible pace, and it has become the standard in our industry for professional, high-end stereo monitor controllers. But there are customers with budgets that don’t quite allow an m905 purchase. We wanted to provide a solution: introducing the m905 Analog.
The m905 Analog is an analog-only product. As standard, it doesn’t include the digital section functionality of the m905, but it can be upgraded to full m905 specification at a later date if desired. The main unit is provided in the same exact rack-mount enclosure, and comes with the standard, beautiful m905 hardware remote. On the input side, the m905 Analog is configured with two sets of balanced analog input pairs via XLR connectors, and an unbalanced stereo pair on RCA jacks. Sonic performance of the m905 is, of course, identical to the m905 except that there’s no digital section. There is one other change: in order to keep costs in check, the hardware remote will come with a 25 foot cable made from CAT5 cabling. This will mean that the headphone output on the hardware remote will not be operational. The headphone out on the rack unit will be fully functional. A customer can upgrade this cable, if needed, at a later date. The other bit of m905 news is that we’re releasing an infrared remote control option. This will allow users to control m905 and m905 Analog functions from an m903RCU, an Apple remote, or iOS/Android equipped phones and tablets. If a user wants this functionality from a phone and/or tablet, he/she will also need to purchase a device called the Harmony remote, which is made by Logitec. This is a WIFI-Infrared product that contains the control codes for the m905. Pretty cool! The m905 IR remote option is available next week, and can be ordered for new m905 and m905 Analog units. It can also be sold as an upgrade option to your customers in the field. Just to be clear, this IR option does NOT replace the m905 hardware remote, but works as a wireless option in conjunction with the standard remote. The m905 IR remote option will be available in the first week of December! |
