Lake People MC100 Overview

  Lake People MC100 256-step relay attenuator and RK27 volume control

Relay-Controlled Precision That Maintains Stereo Imaging

The MC100's 256-step relay attenuator switches discrete resistor pairs into the signal path instead of dragging a wiper across a resistive track. The result is perfect channel matching at every volume position and phase coherence that keeps your stereo field stable whether you're monitoring at reference level or checking balances quietly. The massive 50mm RK27 knob provides 41 tactile detents, so you can return to specific monitoring levels by feel alone—critical when you need to hit your calibrated 85dB SPL reference point without visual confirmation. Individual output trims on the rear panel compensate for speaker sensitivity differences so every monitor pair hits the same SPL at the same knob position.

 MC100 USB DAC input supporting 384kHz PCM and DSD 256

USB DAC That Handles Your Reference Library

The integrated USB input features a D/A converter supporting PCM up to 384kHz/32-bit and native DSD 256 playback. Route reference tracks directly from your computer into the MC100's monitoring chain without requiring a separate interface or dealing with multiple volume controls. The USB LED indicates signal format—green for PCM, blue for DSD. This becomes invaluable when A/B comparing your mix against commercial releases, because you can switch between your DAW's main output and the USB reference source with a single button press. Check out our DAC collection for more digital-to-analog conversion solutions.

 Lake People MC100 headphone amplifier with X-Feed circuitry

Headphone Monitoring With Psychoacoustic Correction

The MC100's headphone amplifier includes X-Feed circuitry that addresses unnatural in-head localization by introducing controlled crosstalk and time delay between channels—simulating the acoustic shadowing your head creates when listening to speakers. The effect is adjustable via a front-panel pot, so you can dial in the amount that works for your headphones. Critical when you're making panning decisions or checking reverb tails during late-night sessions. The headphone amp drives high-impedance studio cans to reference levels while maintaining sub-100dB distortion specs, and accepts both 1/4" and 3.5mm connections for maximum compatibility.

Highlights

  • 256-step relay attenuator for perfect channel matching and phase coherence at all volume levels
  • Three balanced monitor outputs plus dedicated subwoofer path with individual level trims
  • Integrated USB DAC supporting up to 384kHz/32-bit PCM and DSD 256 for direct reference playback
  • X-Feed headphone monitoring eliminates in-head localization for accurate stereo imaging on cans
  • Comprehensive signal functions including mono, phase invert, channel swap, solo L/R, dim, and mute
  • Two balanced slave outputs bypass volume control for feeding meters and analyzers
  • Sub-100dB THD+N and better than 80dB channel separation across 5Hz to 70kHz bandwidth

Shipping & Returns

  • We deliver all US orders in 3–5 business days
  • Free cancellations
  • Returns accepted within 30 days (unused items)

Order Confirmation

Once your order is placed, you will receive an order confirmation email. This confirms that we have received your order and have pre-authorized your credit card for the purchase. After confirming availability with our suppliers, we will proceed accordingly:

  • If your item is available and ready to ship within 1–2 business days, we will process the charge and arrange for shipment.

  • If your item is on backorder or unavailable, the pre-authorization will be voided and you will be notified by email.

  • Please note: While most items ship out within 1–2 business days, total delivery time is typically 3–5 business days, depending on your location and carrier handling.

Order Shipment

If your item is in stock and your payment has been processed, your order will typically ship within 1–2 business days. Total delivery time is approximately 3–5 business days from the date of order. Once shipped, you will receive tracking information at the email address provided during checkout within 24 hours of dispatch.

If you have not received tracking information within 3–5 business days of placing your order, please contact us at support@proaudioreserve.com.

The Distributor-Direct Advantage

To ensure you receive the most recent hardware revisions and 100% factory-sealed units, Pro Audio Reserve utilizes a Distributor-Direct fulfillment model. Unlike big-box retailers that may ship "floor models" or gear that has been sitting in general-purpose warehouses, your equipment is pulled directly from the primary manufacturer hub, serialized, and dispatched. This process ensures the highest level of quality control for professional-grade recording equipment.

Shipping Policy

We currently offer free shipping within the United States only. If the checkout process on our website allows you to enter a shipping address and complete your order, your location is eligible to receive delivery.

Changing Shipping Address

If you need to change your shipping address after your order has been processed or shipped, we will do our best to accommodate the request. Please note that address changes may result in delivery delays. Any additional costs incurred due to address changes, including carrier fees or rerouting charges will be the responsibility of the customer. No exceptions.

Shipping Times

All shipping times provided are estimates and should not be considered guarantees. Most orders ship out within 1–2 business days from the time payment is processed. However, total delivery time is typically 3–5 business days, depending on your location, carrier performance, and supplier fulfillment timelines.

We work closely with our vendors to ensure timely deliveries, but please note that supply chain disruptions, high-demand periods, or weather events may occasionally cause delays beyond our control.

  • To avoid misunderstandings: The “shipping time” refers to the total time from order placement to final delivery, not just when the item leaves the warehouse.

  • Cancellations: If you choose to cancel your order because it has not arrived within the estimated delivery window, you may be responsible for applicable shipping charges, restocking fees, warehouse handling costs, and other related fees.

  • Chargebacks: Customers who initiate chargebacks due to shipping delays without contacting us first may be held legally responsible for losses. We strongly encourage open communication so we can resolve any delivery concerns directly and efficiently via our Atlanta-based support team.

Delivery Options

  • Threshold Shipping: Your item will be delivered to your front door, porch, garage, or a covered entryway.
