RTW has announced TouchControl 5, a monitor controller and audio meter with an intuitive user interface and a small footprint, featuring a 5-inch touchscreen, as well as a rotary knob that also functions as a pushbutton for access to dim and mute functions. The screen layout can be customised by the user via a browser-based application. The unit is able to control up to 32 AoIP audio channels, making it compatible with audio formats from mono to immersive within a Dante audio network. 

TouchControl 5 is able to control up to 32 AoIP audio channels, making it compatible with audio formats from mono to immersive within a Dante audio network. Connectivity is kept smooth and simple – the rear panel offers a single Ethernet port that provides both AoIP connection and PoE (Power over Ethernet). A studio-grade microphone input with phantom power and a similarly high-quality headphones output is available. The mic input can be used for adding a dedicated talkback microphone, but if preferred, TouchControl 5 also features a built-in microphone.

An analogue line out connection makes it easy to add a pair of external speakers in case they are not already connected via AoIP.

Out of the box, TouchControl 5 provides basic 4x4 Level Control, Simple Fader, 2x2 or 4x1 Control, and on the metering side provides Basic PPM with True Peak and Phase.

The optional licence structure was chosen in order to make the solution as flexible and scalable as possible, without forcing users to have features they may not need. The TouchControl 5 feature set can be expanded further by adding the Premium Metering license, which includes PPM and True Peak Metering, PPM Scales (TouchMonitor style), vu meters and British PPM.
