Welcome to the XMC-1
Powerful Manual Room Correction
For those who prefer to do their own room adjustments, the XMC-1 provides powerful manual
parametric equalization controls. The XMC-1 allows you to create two entirely independent
EQ presets; each preset includes 11 fully adjustable bands of parametric equalization for each
speaker. For each input, you get to decide whether to use the automatic room correction
provided by Dirac Live or one of your two user-defined presets.
Convenient Tone Controls
In addition to manual parametric equalizers, the XMC-1 also includes true Tone Controls. Both
Bass and Treble Controls include fully configurable turnover points, and the Tone Controls are
available both as temporary adjustments (Tone Trims) and as persistent controls (which remain
set until changed). The Tone Controls and Tone Trims operate independently of each other, and
both can be used in conjunction with either Dirac Live or the Manual EQ Presets enabled.
True DSD Playback
The XMC-1 offers audiophile quality playback of DSD audio (when received via HDMI from an
SACD or a DSD audio file), which bypasses all processing for the most accurate audio rendition
possible.
Popular Remote Control Options
The XMC-1 offers a wide range of remote control options, including a solid metal infrared (IR)
remote control, network-based remote control, and remote control apps for a variety of portable
devices (starting with iDevices, Android devices, and Windows computers). Remote control codes
will be provided for programming intelligent IR remote controls and for developing network-
based remote control applications.
Advanced Video On Standby
The XMC-1 incorporates an advanced feature which not only allows you to watch - or continue
to watch - video on your monitor while the XMC-1 is in Standby Mode, but even allows you to
change sources while in Standby. This feature is great if you just want to do a quick check of the
weather, or let the kids watch TV without turning on your main system.
Multiple Zones
The XMC-1 offers an independent second audio zone, which can deliver a stereo version of
the same content that is selected in the Main Zone, or can be configured to play audio from a
different source (either digital or analog).
