The MC-8v2 update offers numerous enhancements, including the latest version of 5.1 LOGIC7®, Dolby® PLIIx, as well as other software improvements. Chief among the new features found in MC-8v2 is Lexicon Live™. It is a powerful tool that allows the user to transform any listening room into a much larger acoustic space*. Lexicon Live can be used to create a pleasing environment in which to practice or perform with a musical instrument, create ambiance to liven up an event, or create the illusion of a much larger space. The MC-8v2 experience begins with the owner visiting an authorized Lexicon dealer for the upgrade, which includes the installation of a chassis mounted card. The MC-8v2 upgrade kit and companion microphones provide the ability to make a realistic and pleasurable acoustic space out of any listening room. This concept is based on the critically acclaimed LARES (Lexicon Acoustic Reinforcement and Enhancement System), in use for over a decade to improve the acoustics of prestigious live venues worldwide: Lexicon has now made accessing the benefits of this comprehensive system enhancement remarkably simple, with clear instructions and audible results. Lexicon Live overcomes the basic problem of acoustic feedback as the limiting factor that ultimately determines how much reverberation enhancement the entire system will be able to produce. Lexicon is renowned for developing the world’s premier reverb algorithms — breakthrough solutions that not only facilitate incredibly realistic sounding reverbs/acoustic spaces, but also aid in sound localization. Three presets have been provided as a starting point for Lexicon Live. Each of these presets is fully customizable and can be adjusted to create acoustic spaces ranging from small rooms to cavernous structures. The ability to modify both the room size and the reverberation time provides enormous control over the type of space being created. A pre-delay setting can be changed to give the impression of being different distances from the reflecting surfaces (the walls). Separate parameters for reverberation and early reflection levels allow for precise control over the apparent distance from the sound source.*It is important to note that Lexicon Live is active only for sounds originating from within the listening room itself — the sounds that are picked up by the microphones. It cannot be applied to a recorded source such as a CD or a DVD.Based on the reference MC-12 Digital Controller, the MC-8 Digital Controller is perfectly suited for less complex multi-channel systems in which sound quality, picture quality, ease-of-use and reliability are still of paramount importance. Sharing the unique industrial design that identifies Lexicon’s home theater products, the MC-8 music and cinema processor is available in balanced and unbalanced versions and an optional rack mounting kit is available. ...ends 466 words Established in 1971, Lexicon is a manufacturer of high-performance electronics for use in home entertainment systems. “Lexicon” is a registered trademark of Harman International Industries, Incorporated.
