General Information
Have you ever wondered how to connect a source with no volume control directly to powered monitors or an amplifier? Welcome to the Emotiva Control Freak. It's a passive volume control that makes connecting a phono preamp, DAC, CD player (or virtually any other source) to your powered monitors or amps easy-with ultimate transparency and control. Ideal for Powered Monitors Connect the Control Freak to any source, and plug your monitors into it. Now, you have total control from the convenience of your desktop, via the Control Freak's large, machined aluminum knob. Both balanced and single-ended Control Freaks are available, so you can match them to any source or monitor. Perfect for Amps Don't have powered monitors? No problem. Control Freak works great with power amps, too. It's a great way to match a DAC or other fixed-output source with any of our Emotiva amps, and add a convenient volume control. Passive Precision The Control Freak doesn't have any active electronics at all, just a high-quality 10k passive volume potentiometer. This means it has virtually no effect on the quality of your signal, unlike digital volume controls and active preamps. It's a great upgrade to a computer-based system where you've been adjusting volume using the operating system, and lets you bypass the lossy digital volume control. Put yourself in control with Control Freak!
