Lake People MC50 - Studio Monitor Controller - Available on Request

The Lake People Monitor Controller MC50 offers two inputs, a slave output, two line outputs to connect amplifiers or active speakers, and a true balanced headphone amplifier with 4 power stages equipped with front-controlled Pre-Gain and X-Feed – thus much more than conventional Monitor Controllers in 19“, 1 U format. The complete set of stereo signal manipulation options, Solo L, Solo R, Channel Swap, Mono, Right Channel Phase Reverse and the high-quality RK27 volume control with 41-detent make it stand out from the crowd. In addition, it is as low in noise and distortion as physics allows.

Special attention was paid to the headphone amps inside MC50. They consist in principle of two G111 amps and are able to supply balanced headphones “as it should” due to their four power stages.

Because of the unique Pre-Gain function on the front panel, virtually any headphone is perfectly adaptable. The Pre-Gain function offers six positions from -18 to +12 dB in steps of 6 dB.

The X-Feed function serves to reduce the “In-Head-Localization”, which is often found to be annoying and fatiguing when listening with headphones. X-Feed is activated by a switch and continuously variable with reasonable amounts. An LED displays the active state.

All gold plated XLR (back connectors):
- two balanced inputs (Input 1 and 2)
- one balanced Slave output, here the activated input signals without volume control
can be found
- two balanced line outputs, controlled by the volume attenuator and the settings of the
monitoring section to feed power amplifiers or active speakers
