Lexicon MC-12

The Lexicon MC-12 has been an industry leading home theater preamp/processor since the early 2000's.  Available in many versions, this unit is in its original configuration.
Lexicon's foray into the home theater market began back in 1988 with the introduction of the CP-1, which in addition to featuring the then new Dolby Pro Logic, possessed what has become Lexicon's staple - proprietary surround modes. Through the years the CP line evolved up to the MC-1 that, prior to the MC-12, was Lexicon's flagship. While the MC-1 was, and is, an incredible success, its architecture could not handle all that Lexicon wished to implement with its newest design. With all the knowledge gained from their past efforts, Lexicon decided to create a processor from the ground up that could not only handle the needs of today, but had the flexibility/scalability to maintain relevance with any format update that was developed later on.
