An Affordable Passive Volume Control That Delivers - It has taken me a lot of trial error to get here. The associated gear: Vali 2 Headphone Amp with Electro-Harmonix 6922 Gold Pin tube, Topping E50 DAC, primarily streaming Tidal (Master) through an audiophile configured mini PC. A Grado Prestige Headphone 15-foot Extension Cable from the Vali 2 headphone jack connected to a 1 meter WireWorld - Pulse - Mini Jack Audio Cable into the input of the DYNASTY PROAUDIO PMC. Headphones are plugged into the back of the DYNASTY PROAUDIO PMC. In order to maximize the volume output from the DYNASTY PROAUDIO PMC, the Vali 2 was set on Hi Gain. Unlike the Schiit Audio SYS, the Bellari PP532 Passive Preamplifier and the Nobsound High Precision Passive Preamp Volume Controller VOL Control HiFi Preamplifier ALPS (I have had all 3), the DYNASTY PROAUDIO PMC background was black (dead quiet). Each of the other 3 had noise and distortion in the background when the Vali 2 was on Hi Gain. The sound - the exact same as when I plugged the Headphones directly into the Vali 2. The volume control on the DYNASTY PROAUDIO PMC works flawlessly... smooth and perfectly controlled volume adjustments with no issues. Unlike the other 3, there no sudden jumps (sometimes extreme) in volume. There was no channel distortion, channel volume mismatches or general sound distortion as the volume was increased. The mute button worked perfectly. If you are looking to be able to control the volume of your headphones (wired) from your listening position, the DYNASTY PROAUDIO PMC delivers flawlessly. At long last, my system is complete. A final thought.... the build quality is as solid as the sound quality. A beautifully engineered piece of hardware. Review: Excellent MUST-BUY for a small studio! - I am a composer and producer with a fairly modest in-home studio. As such, I don't need many of the features common to most monitor volume controls on the market. For example, my previous monitor control (Mackie Big Knob 2x2) had many functions I never used, namely dim (I'll just turn the volume down), and 2 in and 2 out groups (not needed unless you're a recording studio to send audio to the recording booth). Why am I paying money for functions I'm not even using? The Dynasty ProAudio PMC-1 cuts down significantly on features, just including a mono/stereo switch for mixing purposes, and a mute button. Honestly, if you're just a small in-home studio (like, 80% of buyers for these things), this is all you will EVER need. EVER. I've taught a few students, and shopped for equipment quite a bit, and one bit of wisdom I can share is that your studio MUST be minimalistic. Equipment doesn't just take up space on your desk, it takes up space in your brain as well. Everything SHOULD be streamlined, and you should ONLY have equipment whose features you will use. BE AWARE! This interface ONLY has XLR ins and TRS outs, except for a little audio jack input in case someone passes you the aux cord at a party and you just so happen to be in your studio for whatever reason. BE SURE YOU BUY THE CORRECT AUDIO CABLES! Probably the best feature of this product is the main function: the knob. It's smooth, with just enough weight to it that my giant hand can be exact in movement. It feels like it's gliding over butter, and stays in place. For the asking price, this product is EXCELLENT! If you're a producer looking to set up a small in-home studio, this is ALL you will EVER need, and it does the job VERY well! Not to mention, the price is the cheapest you can find on desertcart for a monitor volume control knob. Who could ask for more than that? ## Features - ✅ [Volume Control] It is designed for a precise volume control of analog audio signals and is inserted between analog signal sources and active speakers or amplifiers, also can be connected between a PC sound card or audio interface and monitor speakers, ideal for quick and easy level control by using your fingngertips with a large rotary control knob. - ✅ [Balanced Ins and Outs] The PMC-2 features the balanced combo XLR / Phone Jack, RCA Audio Line and Mini Jack TRS 3.5mm inputs, DIM & Mute/Mono switches, XLR Balanced/Phone Jack/Mini Jack output, and a large rotary volume control. - ✅ [Easy Setup] It is completely passive and does not require power supply, you can keep your software masters at unity and attenuate the audio to your active monitor speakers precisely with the PMC-2 while maintaining maximum audio resolution. Simply delivers an attenuated signal for pure transparent, without compromising your audio which is one of the man benefits of passive volume attenuation. - ✅ [Metal Enclosure Design] The PMC-2 is constructed with a solid build metal chassis that will withstand the rigors of the road, as well as the occasional accidents of home use. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09RNF2Y5Q | | Additional Features | Studio Recording | | Best Sellers Rank | #19,907 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #10 in Digital Audio Workstation Controllers | | Brand | DYNASTY PROAUDIO | | Brand Name | DYNASTY PROAUDIO | | Color | White | | Compatible Devices | PC | | Connectivity Technology | Analog (XLR, Phone Jack, RCA, Mini Jack TRS) | | Connector Type | XLR, Phone Jack, RCA, Mini Jack TRS | | Control Method | Touch | | Control Type | volume control | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 158 Reviews | | Hardware Interface | 3.5mm Audio | | Hardware Platform | PC | | Human Interface Input | Dial | | Instrument | Any | | Instrument Key | Any | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 3.6"D x 7.6"W x 2.2"H | | Item Weight | 0.83 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | DYNASTY PROAUDIO | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Name | PMC-2 | | Model Number | PROAUDIO PMC 2 | | Noise Control | None | | Outer Material | Metal | | Platform | Windows 10, Windows 7 | | Product Dimensions | 3.6"D x 7.6"W x 2.2"H | | Product Style | 2x2 | | Size | 2 | | Special Feature | Studio Recording | | Supported Software | FL Studio | | UPC | 850006657476 | | Warranty Description | 1 year manufacturer warranty. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DYNASTY PROAUDIO - **Connectivity Technology:** Analog (XLR, Phone Jack, RCA, Mini Jack TRS) - **Model Name:** PMC-2 - **Product Dimensions:** 3.6"D x 7.6"W x 2.2"H - **Special Feature:** Studio Recording ## Images ![DYNASTY PROAUDIO PMC-2 Premium Passive 2 x 2 Studio Monitor Volume Controller - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ttyzG-L7L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I connect cheap powered speakers to input and pc to output using the 3.5 jacks and just use it as a "fancy volume knob" ?** A: Yes. You’ll need adapters, though, to split the stereo out into two 1/4 male jacks. I run 1/4 TS (orTRS) cords into it from a mixer and run 1/4 TS (or TRS) cords out into powered speakers. **Q: Is it rack mountable? Looking to add it to a 3u eurorack.** A: Don't think so ... **Q: Is the volume knob plastic or metal?** A: Pretty certain it’s metal. The whole box is metal. **Q: Can I plug in a headphone on this?** A: All depends on your setup. There is a 3.5mm headphone jack that can be used instead of the 1/4" jacks but there is no way to select output device. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally....

I'm using it between a PreSonus 68C audio interface (which is connected to my laptop) and Yamaha Stagepas 500 speakers. The claims on the box are actually true, it's completely "transparent" in operation, "solid" in construction, has a "large, precise" knob, and "high-quality inputs and outputs." The knob rotates smoothly and even in motion creates no static or disturbance, as the signal passes through cleanly. This product was my choice after credible claims of attenuated sound at full setting on the leading product with a large knob. It's only been a week so far, but hopefully this will continue to perform flawlessly. One thing I wanted to illustrate for customers and also the manufacturer is shown in the accompanying photo. The point of this unit is easy, quick and accurate volume adjustment. But the position marker on the knob is just a faint incision on its rim. As shown in my picture, I applied a thin strip of dark plastic tape for easy identification of knob setting. I recommend that the makers of the device add something similar in a permanent fashion on the knob. It will be more attractive to buyers, and more useful in action. ## Frequently Bought Together - DYNASTY PROAUDIO PMC-2 Premium Passive 2 x 2 Studio Monitor Volume Controller - Cable Matters 2-Pack Premium XLR to XLR Cables - 6ft, Male to Female Microphone Cable, Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Mic Cord, Black - VANDESAIL XLR Cables, 3ft 2 Pack Microphone Cable, XLR Male to Female Balanced Microphone Cord 3 pin, 3 Foot Short mic Cord Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Nylon Braided --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/410039918-dynasty-proaudio-pmc-2-premium-passive-2-x-2-studio](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/410039918-dynasty-proaudio-pmc-2-premium-passive-2-x-2-studio) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
