Getting Started Lexicon ABOUT THE MC-12 Thank you for purchasing the MC-12 Digital Controller, a reference-quality, 12-channel audio and video control center with independent zone monitoring to provide control of input source selection in three zones at the same time. As flexible as it is powerful, the MC-12 includes 12 configurable inputs, each of which can be assigned to its 13 digital audio, 8 analog audio, 5 composite video, 8 S-video, or 4 component video input connectors.
PAGE 15
MC-12 High-precision 24-bit/96kHz A/D converters can be used to convert stereo and 5.1 analog audio input signals to digital signals, allowing the MC-12 to provide the benefits of precise digital signal processing without sacrificing signal integrity. Alternatively, stereo and 5.1 analog signals can bypass A/D conversion and internal processing to remain in the analog domain straight to the output connectors.

Register online at www.lexicon.com or complete and return the product registration card attached to the back cover of this user guide. Retain the sales receipt as proof of warranty coverage. INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS The MC-12 requires special care during installation to ensure optimal performance.
PAGE 18
Getting Started Lexicon REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY INSTALLATION The remote control requires two AA batteries. The batteries should be replaced as needed. Alkaline batteries, which last longer without leaking, are recommended. When battery power is low, the remote control enters a low-voltage condition, preventing it from operating the MC-12. When this occurs, replace the batteries. Normal operation will resume when new batteries are installed. To replace the remote control batteries: 1.

Mode Adjust Lexicon LISTENING MODE MENU OPTION & PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS RE-EQUALIZER ON, OFF Simulates high-frequency rolloffs that occur in movie theaters. When set to ON, the MC-12 applies a high-frequency filter. When set to OFF, the MC-12 does not apply a high-frequency filter. It is recommended that you set this parameter to ON for film sources, as many films are mixed for movie theaters and might sound too bright when played back in home theaters without re-equalization.

Mode Adjust MC-12 SOUND STAGE FRONT, NEUTRAL, REAR SPEECH DETECT ON, OFF Dynamically controls the relative balance of the audio output connectors. When set to FRONT, Side L/R and Rear L/R output levels are attenuated by 6dB, shifting the perceived balance of the sound field to the front of the listening space. When set to NEUTRAL, Side L/R and Rear L/R output levels are slightly attenuated by 3dB, shifting the perceived balance of the sound field to the center of the listening space.

Mode Adjust MC-12 TREB CUT RT 500Hz to 20kHz Sets the frequency above which high frequencies are rolled off in the reverberated signal, causing reverberated signals to grow progressively darker. This results in a more natural sound because it simulates the effect of air absorption in a real hall. Setting this parameter to a low frequency dampens the audio as it recirculates, and consequently can actually shorten the reverb time. Available in all LIVE! modes. VOCAL ENHANCE +6.0dB, +3.0dB, +0.
