emotiva mc-700 home theatre processor
Emotiva's MC-700 is a budget conscious 7.2 pre-amplifier / processor which is ideal for budget and mid priced surround systems. Its level of sound quality for its price also ensures high sound quality with music as well as movies, and could be seen as the modern equivalent of the now defunct Audiolab 8000A and 8200AP processors. Its strengths lie in its simplicity and ease of use, and because of this, the sound quality it provides.
Other than the volume control and power button, the extremely sparse and clean looking front fascia sports a very small number of buttons provide menu navigation.
emo-q room equalisation
With the supplied microphone, Emotiva's Emo-Q system measures the performance of your system in your room and adjusts its output to suit your speakers, ensuring high performance, regardless of your room layout or acoustics.
There are eleven parametric EQ settings for each channel, all user configurable. The MC-700 can store three different EQ settings, each of which can can independently assigned to each input.
The back panel of the MC-700 is a simple affair, providing the very basics a good home theatre systems needs. All HDMI inputs and outputs are fully HDCP2.2/3D/4K/HDR/DV compliant, and all HDMI sources are passed through untouched with zero processing.
