Lexicon MC-12
Lexicon, known for it's professional digital products has developed and delivered a knockout punch on the high-end processor market. From every significant standpoint, the new Lexicon MC-12 delivers over it's previous incarnation, the MC-1.
The Lexicon MC-12 is here, installed and we're shaking our heads, muttering profound superlatives, like "wow", "yikes" and other monosyllabic words of disbelief. It is a staggering accomplishment by Lexicon.
It is that good. It is killer. Don't believe us? Understandable.



What does the press say?
"The MC-1 was great - this is mind-blowing."
"...you're bathed in a soundfield that's totally immersive.."
"The level of detail this processor extracts is jaw-dropping"

The MC-12 offers 5.1 channel inputs, component inputs and outputs, digital bypass for 2 channel, 3 zone capability with high bandwidth component video switching. The list goes on and on... Suffice it to say that the MC-12 offers a full-featured rear-panel that lacks nothing. Balanced inputs and outputs are available. Overall the build quality is exceptional. The lighting display, front panel look and feel, all exude the highest of level of refinement.

Without exception, everyone has been impressed with it's sonic performance and ease of operation. It eclipses every preamp/processor that has graced our ultimate home theater room. There is a naturalness to the sound, an ease even in the most demanding and unforgiving movie passages.
Listening to the soundtrack on the "Hobbit", the orchestra is presented with a depth and expanse that makes you realize this isn't a soundtrack you're listening to.. it's an orchestra! There is no compression of scale, and yet each instrument has its own space and placement. One is immediately struck by the incredible quiet. Digital when done well offers an incredibly low noise floor. The MC-12 delivers a sound floor that's 2 floors below your feet. Its that quiet. Yet the sound is not compromised in any way by digital processing. The naturalness of instruments and voices is instantly apparent. The result is that you are drawn instinctively into the movie, no longer critiquing the sound quality. You're enveloped.

If you have time, you MUST stop by and listen to the MC-12, and hear what many regard as the finest preamp/processor in the world.
When you leave, you'll be shaking your head in disbelief.
It is that good.
