Unparalleled Processing Power

This processor boasts processing capabilities for up to 16 output channels, providing the necessary horsepower for the most intricate home cinema systems. When paired with compatible power amplifiers, the XMC-2 enables the decoding of advanced audio formats, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, scaling up to Dolby Atmos 9.1.6, an ideal match for even the most expansive home theaters. For optimal performance, consider complementing it with Emotiva XPA Gen3 power amplifiers.

A Symphony of High-Quality Sound

The XMC-2 is meticulously engineered to deliver high-end sound quality, whether in stereo or multi-channel configurations. Its fully balanced Reference Stereo path, combined with the Reference Stereo Mode, makes it a compelling choice for stereo sound enthusiasts. The XMC-2 integrates audiophile-grade AKM4490 Verita DACs (Digital to Analog Converters) that operate in a fully balanced mode across all 16 output channels, ensuring exceptional performance in home cinema setups.

Precision via Balanced XLR Outputs

Setting a new standard for signal transfer, the XMC-2 employs 16 XLR outputs. Typically associated with professional studios, XLR balanced connectors excel in noise resistance and create a secure, low-distortion connection that enhances audio quality.

Optimized Sound Control

The XMC-2 offers five selectable operating modes that strike an ideal balance between sound quality and control. Stereo Mode and Surround Mode feature dedicated bass management and room correction settings for optimized audio quality. Direct Mode minimizes processing while retaining bass management. Reference Stereo Mode offers a pure stereo experience devoid of bass management.

Dirac Live for Tailored Sound

To deliver an unparalleled listening experience in your room, the XMC-2 features Dirac Live room correction technology by Dirac Research. Utilizing a microphone and dedicated software, this technology takes multiple measurements across your room and communicates the information to the amplifier, allowing for a customized acoustic response. A professional setup is recommended to fully harness this feature.

Immerse Yourself with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X

Experience the magic of the cinema from the comfort of your home. The XMC-2 supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X decoders, delivering an immersive audio experience through ceiling or up-firing speakers.

With seven digital and 3+1 analog inputs, the XMC-2 accommodates a wide array of audio components, including CD players, streamers, and preamp-equipped turntables. Additional optical digital and analog outputs make it ideal for recording or routing audio through the processor.
