Next-Level Software Enhancements for the Compact Line!

With Version 2, we’ve expanded the speaker format options to include Array Speakers, enabling TouchControl 5 to support any speaker layout recommended by Dolby®, including advanced immersive configurations.

This update also introduces a new technology in TouchControl 5: Dedicated Bass Management Outputs.
Traditionally, in a 7.1.4 setup, the LFE channel handles both the dedicated LFE signal and the redirected low-frequency content from bass management. Now, with dedicated BM outputs, you can route bass-managed low frequencies to separate subwoofers, allowing the LFE sub to handle only the LFE signal—a major step forward in flexibility and precision.

Beyond the dedicated BM outputs, the enhanced Bass Management system offers even greater flexibility to meet the demands of any setup. A new expert mode empowers advanced users to fully bypass the Bass Management filters for complete manual control. Plus, with precise signal routing, you can now fine-tune exactly how much signal is sent from each individual speaker to the BM outputs - putting ultimate customization at your fingertips.

And yes – while we’re on the subject of Dolby Atmos® – support for the Dolby Atmos® Music Curve is now built-in and can be enabled with a single click.

Version 2 introduces four powerful new metering tools for all current TouchControl 5 users:

• Loudness Chart – Provides a clear overview of loudness levels over time.
• Real-Time Analyzer (RTA) – Visualizes energy distribution across the frequency spectrum.
• VectorScope – Displays stereo balance and imaging for precise spatial monitoring.
• Stereo Correlator – Shows the correlation between two channels to assess phase coherence.

These additions further enhance TouchControl 5’s role as a comprehensive monitoring and metering solution.
 

For facilities with multiple TouchControl 5 units installed, Version 2 introduces intercom capability via the new Input Instrument.

This feature allows you to mix an external audio source into your current monitoring signal. The Input Instrument also provides input trim control and can be muted when needed - making it ideal for streamlined, in-room communication between workstations.
