TC Electronic (Discontinued) LEVEL-PILOT-X Desktop Speaker Volume Controller with XLR Connectivity

The tc electronics LEVEL-PILOT-X is a desktop speaker volume controller with XLR connectivity.

LEVEL PILOT X is a stylish, high-resolution volume solution that fits into any active speaker setup quickly and easily and with a minimum of clutter and wires. This results in convenient and high-precision control over your levels where you would ideally want it: right at your fingertips.

Whether you are a passionate hobbyist recording in your bedroom, a musician with a small home studio setup or working at a pro recording facility, LEVEL PILOT X makes sure the volume is always exactly where you need it, when you need it.

High-Resolution Analogue Volume Control

LEVEL PILOT X puts immediate level control exactly where you need it - right at your fingertips. It does this by using a renowned Bourns potentiometer to ensure accurate, high-resolution analog control over your monitors at all times. Most audio interfaces, digital mixers and other digital audio devices are restricted to digital attenuation of the output signal, reducing the digital-to-analog converter resolution, ultimately rendering a poorer output sound quality. Using LEVEL PILOT X as your analogue level control after the DAW guarantees sonic integrity of your audio signal while keeping level control right there at your fingertips.

Exceptional Clarity in the Signal Path

LEVEL PILOT X uses components and circuitry that optimize signal-to-noise ratios. There are no buffers, batteries, transistors or other tone-sucking components in there - so all that comes out of it are pristine, high-fidelity audio signals.

Compact, Sleek and Sturdy Design

LEVEL PILOT X not only feels like a level control that you can rely on in any situation, it also comes with a brushed aluminum finish to give it a premium look and a smooth, ergonomic feel.

Computer-Independent Operation

Many level control solutions draw additional power from the computer to enable level attenuation - not so with LEVEL PILOT X, which can be operated completely independently of the audio source, be it computer or any other line-level device. In fact, LEVEL PILOT X requires no power to operate, guaranteeing quick and direct control over your monitors.

Balanced and Unbalanced Compatibility

This makes LEVEL PILOT X a real life-saver, fitting into most of today’s analog setups and allowing high quality level control in an endless number of applications.

‘Tight Grip’ Rubberized Base Plate

LEVEL PILOT X feels solid under hand, and the additional slip-free rubberized base plate ensures that LEVEL PILOT X stays exactly where it’s needed.

Quad-Core Fully Balanced XLR Connectivity

LEVEL PILOT X comes with its own discrete quad-core cabling to ensure perfect stereo imaging and left-right tracking - with no messy cabling to clutter up your workspace.
