The Gainlab Audio Lieutenant is much more than a monitor controller: it is a command station that manages sources, monitors, communication, and studio power from a single interface.
Source and monitor management
Up to four sources—two balanced stereo analog inputs, one S/PDIF/TOSLINK input, and Bluetooth—can be routed to three monitoring systems. The relay-attenuated volume ensures precision, repeatability, and transparency; calibration compensates for level differences between speakers for accurate comparisons. Pad, Mute, and the Focus function complete the tools for critical listening.
Talkback and Cue Loop
Professional talkback and an independent Cue Loop with a dedicated headphone output facilitate communication between the control room and the studio; a second master headphone output is also available for the sound engineer.
Integrated power sequencer
The Lieutenant manages the powering on and off of equipment across three independent zones (e.g., computer and interface, outboard racks, monitors), preventing electrical surges and powering down the monitors before the rest of the chain.
