The Lake People MC50 is a 19-inch, 1U professional monitor controller designed to deliver advanced functionality beyond standard units in its class. It features two balanced stereo inputs and two balanced line outputs for connection to power amplifiers or active speakers, along with a dedicated slave output for routing the unaltered input signal elsewhere.
A key highlight is the true balanced headphone amplifier with four power stages, providing exceptional drive capability. This section is further enhanced with a front-panel Pre-Gain control and X-Feed circuit, allowing accurate simulation of loudspeaker imaging on headphones.
The Lake People MC50 includes a full suite of stereo signal manipulation tools: Solo Left, Solo Right, Channel Swap, Mono, and Phase Reverse on the right channel. All controls are clearly laid out and designed for reliable, intuitive use. Central to the unit is a high-grade RK27 potentiometer with 41 detents, ensuring smooth and precise volume adjustments. With its minimal noise and distortion performance, engineered to push the limits of what physics allows, the Lake People MC50 stands out as a fully professional monitoring solution for critical listening environments.
