It packages a high-resolution D\/A converter, a Pre-Gain headphone amplifier, two inputs, and two independently switchable line outputs into an aluminium housing measuring 108 x 41 x 143 mm. Bus-powered via USB-C, it operates without an external power supply – making it equally suited to a space-constrained desktop setup and mobile work on the road. The housing is manufactured in Germany to the same material and build standards applied across Lake People's full product range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eD\/A Conversion and Signal Routing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe USB-C digital input handles PCM up to 384 kHz at 32 bits and DSD up to DSD256 – converter specifications that sit squarely in studio-grade territory and are uncommon in a unit this size. An analogue RCA input accommodates a second source, switchable via a front-panel toggle. On the output side, a balanced XLR and an unbalanced RCA output can be activated independently, allowing two pairs of monitors to be connected and switched or used simultaneously without additional routing hardware. Internal DIP switches provide user-adjustable line output levels and headphone gain settings – no software, no menus, no DAW dependency. This keeps the MC10 functional as a standalone monitoring centre independent of any host application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003ePre-Gain Headphone Amplifier and Power\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe headphone amplifier uses Lake People's Pre-Gain circuit, which adjusts the amplifier's operating point to match the impedance of the connected headphones. Low-impedance and high-impedance headphones both receive controlled, distortion-free drive without manual gain staging. Two headphone outputs sit on the front panel – a 6.35 mm TRS jack and a 3.5 mm mini-jack – both carrying the same signal and usable simultaneously. Primary power comes from the USB-C connection to the host device; a second USB-C port accepts an external power supply to reduce the load on a laptop or tablet battery during extended sessions. Volume control is handled by an Alps RK27 potentiometer, a component chosen for its precision and longevity under frequent use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eD\/A converter: PCM up to 384 kHz \/ 32-bit, DSD up to DSD256 via USB-C\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAnalogue input: RCA, source switching via front-panel toggle\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLine outputs: XLR (balanced) + RCA (unbalanced), independently activated\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHeadphone amplifier with Pre-Gain circuit – impedance-adaptive operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eTwo headphone outputs: 6.35 mm TRS + 3.5 mm mini-jack (simultaneous)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eInternal DIP switches – line output level and headphone gain adjustment without software\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAlps RK27 volume potentiometer\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eBus-powered via USB-C + optional secondary USB-C PSU port\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAluminium housing, manufactured in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDimensions: 108 x 41 x 143 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eType: compact monitor controller with integrated D\/A converter\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDigital input: USB-C, PCM up to 384 kHz \/ 32-bit, DSD up to DSD256\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAnalogue input: 1x RCA (stereo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLine outputs: 1x XLR (balanced), 1x RCA (unbalanced)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHeadphone outputs: 1x 6.35 mm TRS + 1x 3.5 mm mini-jack (simultaneous)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHeadphone amplifier: Pre-Gain, impedance-adaptive\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eVolume control: Alps RK27 potentiometer\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eLevel adjustment: internal DIP switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePower: USB-C bus-powered + optional external USB-C PSU\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHousing: aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOrigin: Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDimensions: 108 x 41 x 143 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePrice: 599.90 EUR\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lake People","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53984918307153,"sku":"59471","price":596.08,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/LakePeopleMC101.jpg?v=1780917281","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr-fr\/products\/lake-people-mc10","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
