What are you talking about exactly? Monitor controllers or interfaces? Dangerous and Coleman make monitor controllers, not interfaces. I didn't realize that they had "mix down" hardware as well. I thought they were only for connecting your audio to the computer.
With that clarification in mind, how do you like your MOTU unit? I didn't even know they made those kinds of interfaces. I just want input on what's available, should I decide to "cut the cord" and go totally ITB. I can just connect my powered monitors directly to them, right? Otherwise, if I had passive speakers, I have to have the interface connect to a power amp for the speakers. So, my question is about units like the Dangerous or Coleman audio interfaces. If I remove that desk from the set-up, then I'd expect an AUDIO INTERFACE to take it's place. My monitors are currently connected to my desk. That's why I'm asking about Surround Audio Interfaces.
I know that the Artist Series is just a controller.
There are a few ways you can set this up but to hear output you'll need more than just the Artist series of control surfaces.īTW, if you are looking at Pro Tools, you'll need the Pro Tools HD version for 5.1 / 7.1-channel work. I have a 7.1-channel mix going into my headphones, as well, as a stereo output. The whole setup produces 8 channels of discrete output (couldn't use anything else). I believe Avid makes a 6 output Audio Interface but you'll need 8 outputs for 7.1-channel work. That Audio Interface output goes into the speakers. The Pro Tools output goes into an Audio Interface (in my case a Motu). The Artist control surfaces control Pro Tools HD. The Artist Series has no audio interfaces. No, you cannot interface powered speakers (or any speakers) to the Artist Series.
