Shadow Hills Oculus Wired

The Shadow Hills Oculus is a high quality, no expense-spared monitoring controller designed with mastering-grade topologies and esoteric architecture to provide ultimate sonic purity. It includes a Pendant remote controller.

The Shadow Hills Oculus lets you monitor five different sources through its five selectable balanced input sources through three selectable stereo speaker outputs. For unbalanced sources the signal is routed through a Class-A Active buffer ensuring optimum sonic performance. Each speaker output features a trim control to ensure proper level matching. A dedicated Subwoofer output is also included and features level controls for each speaker selection.

The central volume knob found on the Pendant remote simultaneously controls the three fully-discrete passive volume attenuators for left and right and sub. By using a passive topology Shadow Hills has ensured a superior sound with none of the distortion added by active circuits. In addition to the three passive attenuators, the Oculus features Left/Right/Subwoofer Mute buttons as well as a Mono/Stereo switch to let you monitor your mixes in mono but also lets you hear each unmuted channels through the same stereo outputs meaning that the left or right channels can be heard on both outputs simply by muting one of the channels. The true “Mono Sum” behaviour lets you find phase coherency as well as troubleshooting your monitoring setup.

External VU meters and an Oscilloscope can be connected at the back of the unit.  A talkback matrix inspired by large format consoles is also included with internal and external microphones, class-A mic preamp and remote switching.

Cue feed monitoring is made available via the Cue Follow switch letting you monitor external cue signals and current input source selection. By default, the Cue signal is fed into source E enabling the engineer to hear a different feed than the performers. The signal is the same as the signal heard in the headphones found on the base station. When engaging the Cue Follow switch, the Cue feed is the same as the source selected. An auto Cue feature automatically engages talkback when the “tape” stops.
