MC100PRO
With its inputs, including a USB input with high-quality D/A
converter, 2 slave outputs, 3 loudspeaker outputs plus subwoofer and the
headphone path with X-Feed, the Lake People Monitor Controller MC100 PRO offers
significantly more than conventional monitor controllers. The complete
set of stereo signal manipulation options, Solo L / R, Channel Swap,
Phase Reverse, Mono, Mute and Dim function and the high-quality volume
control make it stand out from the crowd. In addition, it is as low in
noise and distortion as physics allows.
Stereo inputs include:
- two rear balanced inputs (input 1 and 2) via balanced XLR sockets
- a rear unbalanced input with RCA sockets (input 3)
- an unbalanced input on the front with a 3.5 mm jack (input 4)
- a rear USB input with high-quality D/A converter for PCM signalsup to 384 kHz / 32 bit and DSD 256 (input 5)
The
inputs are either individually activated via buttons on the front or
summed up, active inputs are displayed by LEDs. The unbalanced inputs
can be set to a sensitivity of -10 dBV or +4 dBu. The USB input LED
shows PCM signals in green and DSD signals in blue.
The stereo
signal can be extensively manipulated using push buttons. The activated
state is shown by LEDs. These functions include: left or right channel
solo, swapping left and rightchannel, inverting the phase of the left
channel or switch the signal to mono. Dim (-20 dB) and Mute are also
present to complete the set of options.
The Volume Control:
The
high-quality RK27 volume control with 41-detent offers a massive 50 mm
button. It serves toattenuate the three stereo output paths plus the
subwoofer (mono) output.
The Lake People MC100 PRO comes with a
256-step relay controlled attenuator with advantages over conventional
solutions in terms of Sound, Crosstalk, Channel Mismatch and Life Cycle.
The stereo outputs:
The
rear slave outputs "Slave Out 1" and "Slave Out 2" come as balanced XLR
sockets. The outputs can also be operated unbalanced. Level meters and
other devices can be supplied here, bypassing the volume control. The
rear outputs “A, B, C and Sub (Mono)” feature balanced XLR sockets. The
level of all groups may be set to 0, -6, -12 dB by switches on the back.
The
output groups “A, B and C” can be switched in single mode or in
adding-up mode by push buttons on the front panel. The “Sub” output is
activated individually, the assignment to the respective group is stored
and recalled when the output is activated again.
The headphone
amplifier is activated by a button and has its own volume control.
X-Feed is activated separately if desired, this effect minimizes the
In-Head-Localization when listening through headphones, that means, it
simulates a playback by loudspeakers.The X-Feed effect is adjusted by a
turn pot. The headphone amplifier is extremely powerful, headphones with
¼” (6.3 mm) and 3.5 mm jacks can be connected
