Description
The Lake People MC10 brings the high-quality monitoring capabilities of the MC100 and MC50 into an incredibly compact format measuring 108 x 41 x 143 mm. This makes the MC10 the perfect choice for setups with limited space – and for use on the go. The MC10 really comes into its own when travelling, thanks to its headphone amplifier in excellent Lake People quality; it is fully bus-powered and therefore does not require its own power connection.
Naturally, a Lake People headphone amplifier features an integrated pre-gain circuit, allowing the amplifier to be optimally adjusted to the sensitivity of the headphones being used. If required, the MC10 can also be powered via an external power supply to conserve the battery of the connected laptop or tablet. Two separate inputs and two outputs, as well as two headphone jacks, make the Lake People MC10 a true monitor controller despite its compact size.
Digital signals can be fed in via USB-C; the top-class converter processes PCM at up to 384 kHz and 32-bit or DSD up to DSD 256. An analogue source can be connected via RCA. A switch on the front panel switches between the two inputs. On the output side, speakers (or other downstream devices) can be connected via XLR or RCA. The two front-panel headphone sockets, in 6.3 mm or 3.5 mm formats, carry the same signal and can be used simultaneously. Individual buttons activate the respective outputs, so that they are available for playback either separately or simultaneously.
