Re: [Avid-L2] Suggest audio component(s) for 5.1 monitoring?

 


Or you can do the same thing more professionally by using a Denon DN-AV500. It does not have 6 balanced inputs, but it does have HDMI inputs, and it does have 6 balanced outputs for your powered Dynaudio's.  

Seems to me the simplest solution would be a Thunderbolt-based I/O device that gives you HDMI (like AJA T-TAP or similar) plus the Denon unit (~900 USD).

Not saying the other solutions aren't valid, but thinking this has the best bang for the buck.

I would advise you to set the channels up in SMPTE order (meaning you choose SMPTE order output from Media Composer, which is L/R/C/Lfe/Ls/Rs).  That way, if you want to monitor in stereo, you just flip the Avid's output to stereo, and it will send L and R to outputs 1 and 2, addressing your L and R speakers.

You can go the consumer direction and use a consumer HDMI A/V receiver that can decode multi channel audio from HDMI.
