THX Ultra 2. 8 Channel Digital AV Controller. Logic 7. Un-Balanced OnlyDrawing on Lexicon's legendary expertise in digital audio, the MC-4 offers superior performance and value for today's music and home theatre enthusiast.
Equipped with 8 configurable inputs, and 8 output channels, the MC-4 is ideal for all but the most elaborate systems.
At the heart of the MC-4 are four Analog Devices SHARC digital signal processing engines, one Cirrus Logic DSP engine and eight 24-bit/192kHz digital-to-analogue converters - an architecture nearly identical to the MC-12. The MC-4 includes THX® Ultra2 certification and dts 96/24 decoding. Amongst its impressive list of playback technologies are: Dolby® Digital EX, Pro-Logic II, dts-ES, dts Neo6, and LOGIC7®.
Based on years of psycho-acoustic research, LOGIC7 strikes a delicate balance between channel separation and surround envelopment. For music, film, and broadcast sources, LOGIC7 distinguishes between primary and background signals and processes them appropriately. Prominent sounds like a singer's voice or an aeroplane's roar are reproduced with stunning clarity. The signal is sent to the appropriate speaker with high channel separation, while secondary sounds like the ambient noise of a concert hall or the great outdoors are reproduced with amazing spaciousness. With LOGIC7, the listener experiences an unmatched sense of involvement.
With formats such as DVD-Video, DVD-A, SACD, and High-Definition TV, the demand for input connectors has grown. The MC-4 provides compatibility with these formats, offering 3 component video inputs and 8 configurable analogue inputs. The analogue inputs can be configured as 8 stereo inputs, 5 stereo inputs plus one 5.1-channel input, or 2 stereo inputs plus two 5.1-channel inputs for separate DVD-A and SACD sources.
