The Nuance Select is a studio monitor controller designed to let you hear every single detail through your speakers, with a distortion profile so low that it cannot be measured by most audio testing equipment. Complete audio transparency is achieved through an innovative circuit that allows you to hear the true mix through your speakers without any sacrifice in audio quality, all while still providing you with total control over your monitor setup.

Housed in a robust steel enclosure with a milled aluminum faceplate, the Nuance Select will fit the aesthetic of any studio space and easily incorporate into your workflow, with an everything-you-need-and-nothing-you-don't approach to the feature set. Backlit monitor selection and control switches are complemented by oversized chrome knobs on the headphone and master level controls.

  • Mono sums the left and right channels to mono for the A and B speaker outputs
  • Select your desired stereo source with the SRC 1 and SRC 2 buttons
  • Big chrome knob for overall output level of the speaker and sub outputs
  • Two knobs for controlling levels of each headphone output
  • Sub activates the mono sub output
  • Dim reduces the volume by -15 dB
  • A and B selects which set of speaker outputs is active and only one can be active at a given time

The Nuance Select features two sets of stereo source inputs, along with two sets of balanced TRS outputs for powered speakers. A full-range subwoofer output is also included that can be activated with either set of speakers as desired.

Two independent headphone amplifiers are available for monitoring or control room tracking—each headphone output can be assigned to its own stereo source, so you can feed a cue mix to an artist while monitoring the main mix yourself. The headphone outputs are provided on easily accessible front-panel jacks, and a stereo Aux output is available on the rear panel that can be used to feed an additional headphone amplifier for live room tracking.

  • Customized 21-position rotary master level pot
  • Oversized chrome knobs for fine adjustments
  • Backlit LED switches
  • Locking power connector for external power supply

[Steel, Aluminum] -This SAT-2 has a Tank like build.

-The Volume knob size is ok, It's not annoyingly small so no worries.

-This is an upgrade (for me) from the BEHRINGER MONITOR1

-The top is cold to the touch always.

-- Straight from the manual(About the pad underneath):
NO SLIP PAD: Provides electrical &
mechanical isolation and prevents the unit
from sliding around.
* I Have mine on a tempered glass surface, it grips well.

-It's also pretty heavy.

I Recommend you order yours from one of the listed sellers on the Radial Engineering site for the SAT-2. Obviously I chose B&H, and I am satisfied. Thanks B&H.

I Really love this volume control in combination with Morely/Ebtech Line Level Shifter connected to Schiit MODI 3 DAC.

[5.33 lb] I was looking for a monitor controller with plenty of i/o and handy features at a decent price and this definitely fit the bill. Phase meter and integrated talk back mic are nice touches. There are a couple of different options for configuring the selection of speakers which are very useful in quickly swapping between different set ups.

[Black] Fantastic. Output is a pair of Adam Audio T5Vs, and inputs are a balanced DAC and a 3.5 mm connected to my PC monitor.
I use this to switch between PC audio and my PS5 (connected to the PC monitor via HDMI). Suited my specific application very well.
I appreciate the smoothness of the volume knob, though it is definitely a bit light. The unit itself is robust, it's heavy doesn't move with all the 1/4 jacks on the rear, feels well made. Buttons have a nice feel, takes a decent amount of weight to actuate, and very audible, so it's easy to tell if one has been accidently pressed.
Also, I haven't personally been affected by channel imbalance at lower volumes using this controller.

[5.33 lb] I've been waiting on this Mackie Big Knob Studio Monitor Controller and Interface forever, finally B&H got them available, so i went ahead and get one, so far so great, sounds clean and crisp no coloration additive. I'm thinking about getting another one. I've tested the Onyx Mic pre's in Logic pro x, very clean, Mackie Big Knob Studio being advertised only at 24/96KHZ, it goes up to 192KHZ...

[Black] This studio monitor control may be passive, but its knob is anything but. Simple setup, minimal cables. Elegant buttons, and one glorious beast of a knob with butter smooth movement.

[5.33 lb] I never paid attention to a monitor controller until I added a new set of monitors and kept my old ones so I could A/B them during mixes. The Big Knob has exceeded my expectations on every level.


My previous experiences with Mackie have been less than impressive, but I can't detect any noise, hiss, or degradation in sound while using it. The buttons work as promised, and the master volume knob is silky smooth allowing me to dial in the volume perfectly.


I had an issue before I bought this where my old monitors would randomly issue a loud pop when on but not in use. Since adding the Big Knob that has gone away. It's hard to believe I had this much improvement for under $70.

[Black] I appreciate this device for its simplicity. A few clearly marked buttons, and one big knob (hence the name). It doesn't color my sound, and it works exactly as I needed it to. Great tool, and Mackie is solid quality. B&H did a great job shipping it out, even though FedEx bobbled it at the end.

[Black] Amazing Device! Saves so much time when monitoring mixes on two separate monitors for reference. That little "Mono" button is also amazing as you can hear the mix in mono. Idk how I did it without the Big Knob for so long. Now that I own this, I'm spoiled!
