Precision at the highest level
The Intech Studio EN16 Detent is a sophisticated Grid Series 3 grid module designed specifically for musicians, producers and live performers who demand the highest precision and a tactile control experience. With 16 endless encoders featuring tactile grids and a push function, this compact device offers a sophisticated interface for a wide range of applications - from DAW controlling to synthesiser parameter control and individual MIDI setups.
16 encoders for unlimited control
At the heart of the EN16 Detent are the 16 velocity-sensitive endless encoders with unlimited rotation range. Each encoder has a freely assignable push function and offers a perceptible 20 clicksper revolution when turning. This tactile feedback provides an exceptionally precise control feel - ideal for accurate parameter setting and fine modulation.
Flexible and modular design
Thanks to the innovative magnetic connection system, the EN16 Detent can be seamlessly combined with other grid controllers from Intech Studio - in any direction. This creates a flexible, expandable setup that can be perfectly adapted to individual working methods.
Powerful and robust
The high-speed USB-C port guarantees a reliable connection with minimal latency, while the RGB LED indicators on each potentiometer provide clear visual feedback. A side button allows quick switching between different pages and extends the functionality of the controller. The robust design with an injection-molded housing base and a sturdy front panel also ensures maximum durability - even in hectic live operation.
