Emotiva BasX MC1 Cinema Processor

The BasX MC1 is a high performance 13.2 channel AV surround sound processor that supports 4k UHD video, including HDR and Dolby Vision, enhanced ARC (eARC), and the latest Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersive surround sound formats. The MC1 features six HDMI 2.0b video inputs and includes support for enhanced ARC (eARC). A refined version on the EmoQ automatic room correction engine automates acoustical correction and system calibration in minutes. The MC1 also offers multiple analog and digital audio inputs, including an internal high performance Bluetooth input.

The intuitive menu system makes the MC1 simple to configure and operate using the included illuminated infrared remote control and the clear concise on-screen display. The MC1 can also be controlled by most programmable universal remote controls and whole home automation systems via either infrared commands or wired commands received by its RS-232 interface.

Like every product in the BasX series, the MC1 includes two critical features that you will not find in most other components in its price range: outstanding audio and video performance with excellent build quality. The BasX MC1 is a true audiophile component, designed and built by professionals to deliver the outstanding performance that both audiophiles and casual listeners can appreciate. The MC1 also features precision high- speed video switches that route video directly from the selected input to the output without any extraneous processing, ensuring that you’ll continue to get the absolute best possible picture quality from your HD and 4k UHD video sources along with support for both ARC and Enhanced eARC.
