Monitoring Control for Dante® Audio over IP Networks
Integrated Microphone for SPL Measurement and Talkback
RTW Metering with Premium PPM, True Peak and VU

Plugged In
TouchControl 5 is developed as a network device. Therefore, it does not need many connections to the outside world, which is how RTW has been able to build a device with a very small footprint. The network port not only provides the audio channels, 32 in and 32 out, but also includes power. On top of that, you’ll also find a 24 bit/96 kHz IO section.

Up Front
On the front of TouchControl 5, the integrated microphone feeds the SPL measurement, and it can also be used for talkback. The 5” touchscreen is user configurable, as is the pushable rotary knob.

Surround Control Engine.
Tried, tested, and approved by many broadcast engineers around the world, you find the very same monitor control engine that you might know from RTW's legacy surround monitor controllers. The list is long, but let’s emphasize Downmix, Source A/B Compare, SPK Select, Calibrated Monitoring (using the internal microphone OR manual set), SPL Readout, Solo, Cut, Swap, Phase, Mono, Dim, Mute and Test Tone Generator.

Monitor Control from Stereo to 22.2
With support for up to 32 Dante® channels in and out, TouchControl 5 can easily handle channel configurations from stereo to 22.2.

Built for Dante® Audio over IP networks
TouchControl 5 is built for Dante® Audio over IP networks. It supports 32 channels in and out, up to 96 kHz.

Built-in Microphone for SPL or Talkback
TouchControl 5 features a built-in microphone that can be used for calibrated monitoring. Alternatively, it acts as a talkback microphone that can address any node in the audio network.

RTW Metering
Metering plays a significant role in any RTW device, and so it does in the TouchControl 5. The PPM metering engine is taken from RTW's high-end TouchMonitor meters, and you get a wealth of ways to tailor your own metering experience, including scales, color settings and more. True Peak metering is of course part of the metering story, as well as VU and ‘British PPM’.

Easy Setup with Web-based Interface
Being a true network device, the setup of TouchControl 5 is done through the network, using a standard web browser. This is where you make the overall settings, manage presets, handle licenses and more. You can also control the access to the device, including limiting operation to only certain features, avoiding un-intentional use during showtime.
