STANDBY
The Emotiva XMC- 1 combines cutting edge features and flexibility, true audiophile sound quality,
superior video switching capabilities, and a comprehensive, yet easy to use menu and control
system - in a single A/V preamp/processor that will truly redefine everything you know about
home theater. Even better, the XMC-1 is designed and manufactured by Emotiva in the United
States of America...
Audiophile Sound Quality
The XMC-1 combines the latest audio processing modes and features with true audiophile sound
quality. The XMC-1's Differential Reference mode delivers true balanced two channel audio
performance rivalling that of the finest analog preamps available today. From analog and digital
inputs to fully balanced outputs, the XMC-1 has a true audiophile quality signal path, which
includes high quality digital-to-analog converters (DACs), hardware asynchronous sample rate
converters (ASRCs), and a precision resistor analog ladder network volume control.
Flexible Audio Processing Modes
The XMC-1 offers the ultimate combination of advanced surround sound processing modes
and purist audiophile options. In addition to the latest high-resolution surround-sound
modes, Reference Stereo Mode provides absolutely pure audiophile sound with no processing
whatsoever, and our refined Direct Mode includes minimal processing options, but still offers bass
management.
Dirac Live Automatic Room Correction System
The XMC-1 features Dirac Live™, the most advanced automatic room correction system available
for both audiophile and home theater systems. Dirac Live performs a series of measurements,
then uses sophisticated mathematics to calculate a set of filters which correct both the frequency
and time domain response of your room and speakers. The result is crystal clear, accurate sound
reproduction, with a cohesive sound stage and excellent rendition of transients - even in less than
ideal rooms.
