Heritage Audio R.A.M. System Passive Mon. Controller Baby RAM
Truth In Monitoring
The Heritage Audio Baby RAM is a passive 2-channel desktop monitor control system that delivers pristine pinpoint stereo imaging over a spacious soundstage. With its solid, RAF-gray enclosure and large, skirted Marconi Master Level knob, Baby RAM rocks a classic vintage British console vibe and an easy-to-use, streamlined control set. Under the bonnet, its minimalist, audiophile-grade circuitry provides an ultra-transparent signal path you can rely on to tell you the truth about what you’re recording. Baby RAM is a boutique, reference-grade monitor controller that’s ideal for any studio not working in expanded channel formats.
Classic console design, passive signal path
Classic transformer-coupled British consoles are famous for their legendary kick and punch, not transparency. Now along comes the Baby Ram, a boutique, passive monitor controller inspired by those vaunted vintage console designs. But instead of vintage coloration, the Baby RAM serves up pristine transparency — the result of its no-compromise signal path and just-the-basics control set. Baby RAM features a four-gang, 24-step rotary switch for Master Level rather than an inexpensive stereo pot. This guarantees the precision of your stereo signal in every position and provides precise repeatability of monitor volume settings from session to session. Additionally, there’s no insertion loss with Baby RAM, so there’s no coloration or signal loss, regardless of settings.
Meticulously engineered for seamless workflow
Baby RAM might be housing a no-compromise circuit, but it couldn’t be any simpler or more intuitive to use. It’s equipped with two stereo pairs of balanced, ground-free (unbalanced-compatible) ins and outs on gold-plated TRS jacks, plus Mute, Dim, Mono, and Master Level controls make Baby RAM fast and intuitive to work with. And since it’s a passive design, there are no power-supply hassles.
