The Nuance Select was designed with one driving principle in mind: transparent operation that doesn't color or affect the source material in any way. If you are involved in music production, you need to trust that what you are hearing through your speakers is an accurate representation of the sound coming from your audio interface — the sound that you've
worked hard to achieve.

It would be counterproductive to add a monitor controller to your setup that provides helpful features at the expense of adding distortion or coloration that affects how you hear the mix. This is why every effort has been made for the Nuance Select to sound like it's not even in the signal path.

A unique patented circuit design has resulted in an astounding <0.00001% Total Harmonic Distortion through the balanced outputs of the Nuance, lower than some audio test equipment can register. The 100% Class-A signal path is built without the use of capacitors, employing DC servos throughout, and it features a true stepped attenuator for the main level
 control.
