RTW TouchControl 5 - Metering meets Monitor Control
Meet TouchControl 5, our Dante® based immersive monitor controller with metering.
Built on our long and proud legacy of making broadcast-ready monitor controllers, it features a 5” intuitive touchscreen and a small footprint that preserves valuable space at your desktop.
It even features RTW standard precision metering, including SPL, measured using the built-in microphone.
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.
Key Features
Stereo, Surround, Immersive
With support for up to 32 Dante® channels in and out, RTW TouchControl 5 can handle channel configurations from stereo to 22.2.
Among the many supported formats you will find 5.1 and 7.1 surround as well as 7.1.4 and 9.1.6 immersive.
Monitor Control. Tried. Tested. Approved.
Tried, tested, and approved by many broadcast engineers around the world, you find the very same monitor control engine that you might know from our legacy surround monitor controllers.
The list is long, but let’s emphasize downmix, DSP-powered speaker calibration (using the internal microphone OR manual set), SPL readout, 4 input sources, speaker set selection (up to 4), solo, cut, swap, phase, mono, dim, mute and test tone generator.
The source compare feature lets you toggle between sources for easy comparison and lets you set individual delays for each of the sources.
On the output side, you can set up four speaker sets and easily switch between them or you can listen to your work with your favorite headphones using the headphones output.
Controls and meters on your monitor page
The SPL meter shows the measured sound pressure level in your room, and you can show SPL either as a bar graph or as a number – or both.
The downmix instrument outputs your surround or immersive mix in stereo and mono.
The downmixed signal can be monitored on speakers or phones or sent to any destination in your audio network.
Each speaker can be muted or soloed, and you can invert polarity.
The talkback feature lets you talk to speakers or any destination in your Dante network.
LF Boost lets you boost your LFE channels with 10 dB and Surr. Att. attenuates the surround channels with 3 dB.
Speaker Level Calibration
The speakers in your setup can be calibrated with regards to level, delay and EQ. The support for measurement microphones, the built-in test tone generator and the live-input SPL meter is the optimal tool combination for calibrating your speaker levels to ensure they are perfectly aligned.
Loudspeaker DSP Section
Each speaker has a DSP section for ultimate control. You can set individual delay, gain and phase, and a 8-band EQ is available for each speaker in your setup.
Calibrated speaker levels can easily be recalled by the press of a knob.
Bass Management
Up to two LFE channels with adjustable crossover frequencies can be adapted to your requirements using the bass management. Full-range speakers and smaller speakers can be finely tuned to each other and operated in the same system, while HP filters for bass-controlled speakers, all-pass filters for other speakers and an additional SUB output channel for formats without LFE are also available.
RTW Metering inside
As you know, metering plays a significant role in any RTW device, and so it does in the TouchControl 5.
The PPM metering engine is taken from our 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’.
So beside the level control fader instrument, the RTW TouchControl 5 also comes with a comprehensive equipped PPM meter for reliable measurement of any Dante® channel.
TouchControl 5 supports all the different scale types need for a professional production environment.

The switchable peak hold indicator, peak memory and over indicator complete the functionality.
Between the bargraphs of a Stereo-PPM, there is a correlation indicator that helps identifying stereo correlation problems.
The Moving Coil instrument is available in 2-channel stereo mode.
It provides several scales and setting options. The PPM (British) or VU displays can be shown as single or combined, vertical or horizontal instruments.
Loudness scales or a combined PPM and Loudness display (BBC mode) are also available.
Built-in Microphone for SPL or Talkback
RTW TouchControl 5 features a built-in microphone that can be used for calibrated monitoring.
Alternatively, it can be used for intercom talkback and can address any node in the audio network.
Note: Necessary PoE Power supply must be ordered country-specific - See item no. RT-14554-xx
