Volume control
TC Electronic
Level Pilot: With many DAW setups, control of monitors is dependent on the computer being powered up, and even then volume levels are often set with a mouse. This inhibits the ability to control levels easily and at crucial times -- like when a computer crashes or if the user needs to mute or lower levels fast. Level Pilot fits into any active speaker setup. It is a simple way to control levels, a high quality, analogue, stereo volume control that works independently of the computer or audio interface, so no matter what happens, the user has complete control over their volume levels. Level Pilot features a slip-free design that fits into any active desktop (or even live set-up) without the need for an extra power supply, and employs quad-core cabling to minimize untidy cabling.
