Mutec MC1.2+

The MC1.2+ easily converts PCM audiostreams through its USB, AES/EBU (XLR), AES3/EBUid (BNC) and S/P'DIF (Toslink/BNC, RCA via adapter) interface ports. This process can be performed simultaneously - also via USB - in both directions: In and Out. Such an exceptional flexibility proves to be extremely useful in a professional recording studio, broadcast studio or as part of a sound reinforcement system. There, thanks to the MC1.2+, versatile and lossless signal transfers between audio interfaces, digital mixers and effects processors in real'time become possible. In addition, this DDC from MUTEC improves the sound quality of the USB connection by isolating the USB power supply and then regenerating the signal. This feature makes the MC1.2+ also very appealing for audiophile listeners.
