Missed Deliveries

If you are not in to receive the order at the time delivery is attempted, a card will normally be left to notify you of the missed delivery attempt. This will allow you to either telephone the courier company to arrange a re-delivery at a more convenient time or collect it from your local courier depot or Royal Mail sorting office. For security reasons, all items require a signature.

If for any reason the item is returned to us (e.g. incorrect address specified, multiple failed delivery attempts), then we will inform you immediately by email as soon as we receive the item. From this point forth, you will be given a choice whether you wish us to re-dispatch the item or cancel the order. Please refer to our Cancellations & 14 Day Returns Procedure for more details. For items where delivery failed through no fault of Synthax Audio (UK), you will be liable for the original shipping charge, any courier surcharges and any subsequent delivery charges.

 

Late Deliveries or Dispatch

We are able to ship almost every order in the specified timescale. However, in very rare circumstances there can be an unforeseen delay. If this does happen, we will make it our priority to get your order dispatched from our warehouse as soon as reasonably possible.

There are also rare cases, beyond our control, when the delivery company itself has a problem which causes a delay in transit. In these situations we will do our utmost to liaise with the relevant delivery company to ensure delivery is completed as swiftly as possible.

Consequential Loss for Late Deliveries

If a delivery is late, then we will provide a refund of any delivery fee that we charged you. We do not provide financial compensation to cover consequential losses, e.g. for time taken off work to receive a delivery, or if the item is intended as a gift and you have to purchase the same item from a more expensive retailer.

Description

Lake People MC50 - Monitor Controller

The Lake People Monitor Controller MC50 offers two inputs, a slave output, two line outputs to connect amplifiers or active speakers, a true balanced headphone amplifier with 4 power stages equipped with front controlled Pre-Gain and X-Feed – thus much more than conventional Monitor Controllers in 19“, 1 U format. The complete set of stereo signal manipulation options, Solo L, Solo R, Channel Swap, Mono, Right Channel Phase Reverse and the high-quality RK27 volume control with 41-detent make it stand out from the crowd.

What's more, the MC50's noise and distortion specs are as low as possible (without going outside of the laws of physics...).



The back connectors, stereo, all gold plated XLR:

  • two balanced inputs (Input 1 und 2)
  • one balanced Slave output, here the activated input signals without volume control can be found
  • two balanced line outputs, controlled by the volume attenuator and the settings of the monitoring section to feed power amplifiers or active speakers

The inputs are either individually activated by a toggle switch on the front - or summed up, the active inputs are displayed by LEDs.

Volume is controlled by a high-quality Alps RK27 potentiometer with 41-detent for precise settings.

The 25 mm knob is made of solid aluminium. The stereo signal can be extensively manipulated by three toggle switches. The activated state is shown by LEDs. These functions comprise: STEREO / Ø = right channel inverted / SWAP = channels reversed / MONO / LEFT Solo / RIGHT Solo.

Special attention was paid to the headphone amps inside MC50. They consist in principle of two G111 amps and are able to supply balanced headphones “as it should” due to its four power stages.

Because of the unique Pre-Gain function on the front panel virtually any headphone is perfectly adaptable. The Pre-Gain function offers six positions from -18 to +12 dB in steps of 6 dB.

The X-Feed function serves to reduce the “In-Head-Localization” which is often found to be annoying and fatiguing when listening with headphones. X-Feed is activated by a switch and continuously variable with reasonable amounts. The active state is displayed by a LED.

 

 

The OUTPUT SELECT switches serve to activate the headphone path or the line outputs either separate or mutual. Active states are displayed by LEDs. With the MUTE switch all outputs are muted in common.

The red mute LEDs also serves to display the protect-state of the amp which is automatically released under the following circumstances: delayed coupling of the headphone outputs after power on, DC monitoring, temperature monitoring.

The “Illumination” trim is accessible with a small screwdriver and serves to adjust the brightness of the LEDs and the VU meters to the environment.

The illuminated VU meters willshow the level of the input signals.

The sensitivity is adjustable on the back of the case from 0 dBu up to +20 dBu.

The headphone connectors are situated on the front panel. The 1/4“ (6.3 mm) sockets serve to connect "standard" headphones while the 4-pin XLR enables the connection of balanced headphones to take advantage of the full potential of the four power stages of the headphone amp.
