Really great addition
I have a tiny little studio setup in my shed. I've got a lot of experience in studio's having walked into my 1st session (bass) in 1987 as a 17 yr old and gone on from there.
35 yrs later I'm still doing it as a job, which is nice.
This is a really nice solid piece of kit for stuff all money that helps a bunch in a home studio setting
It's passive and adds no colour to the sound. The dial is big and easy to use. I use the mono switch the most when mixing (mixing in mono initially then fine tune from there a good old skool approach that still works well.)
Pros - works, cheap, simple.
Cons- No a/b for different speaker sets when checking a mix on little commercial/home/car speakers as opposed to studio quality flat speakers ( but you can get that on other models from the same company, so not really).
Great kit for home/ semi pro use. For people who love not doing everything with a mouse.

No noticeable faults
I did test the monitor controller with Swissonic ASM5 pair and I failed to notice any sort of distortion or colouring when compared to not using the volume controller.
The mute button also works as intended and the build quality was top notch, especially for the price. I did however wish it would have been matte black for less distracting visuals.
Note that this product isn't necessary with modern digital mixers in computers, since the theoretical loss of signal transparency is higher than the theoretical loss when using a digital volume mixer. I did retire the product after setting up a few autohotkey scripts to handle Windows' digital mixer, but like I mentioned I didn't personally notice a degradation in sound quality either way.
So if you want a big volume knob with a mute function this works perfectly fine.

Makes mixing so much easier
Give control of speakers too your finger tips... no more having to reach around the back of speakers..

Convenient, no nonsense
No change in the character of the sound throughout the range of volumes. Works without fault, I find it very convenient.

Good for connectivity
It would be nice if it had a headphones connector

control of your monitors
This was exactly what i needed for my adam t7v's. It does exactly what it's supposed to do, control the volume of your monitors without having to manually djust it on the monitors. in my case it was absolutly needed as the t7v's don't have a notched volumecontrol and once you set them you really don't want to touch them again.Dlivery from thomann was quick and everything arrived well packaged. Works flawlessly and you don;t even know it is there in the signal chain...... the way any well made piece of studio gear should work.

Simple.
Very straightforward design with sturdy casing. The Mute and Mono buttons seem a bit weak, but all else is great. Smooth main button, and I like the aesthetic of it in general.

Swissonic M-Control works without additional power
When I took it out of the box, I was very surprised. And where do I need to connect the power supply? I already thought that I had gone crazy. But when I connected the devices to the monitors, I was surprised. This device works without additional power. But there is a drawback. I use JBL 305P MKII monitors. If you make the sound level on the device very quiet. JBL 305P MKII go into sleep mode and to wake them up, you need to raise the volume level higher. The functionality is enough for me. There is a more expensive model, it has more functions.
