Hi All,
I have been considering a purchase of the RDC-7 preamp/processor. There does not seem to be a lot of info out there, so I was very happy that in my search I came across this forum.
I currently have a Lexicon MC-1 and am looking to improve on the audio performance and upgrade the feature set at the same time.
A couple of remaining questions I have are:
1) I want to run a second zone for the rest of my house. I know that this pre-pro has 2 zone capability, but I want the signal to go straight into an amp, and then each zone controls its own volume. In reviewing the online manaul, I see that the zone 2 output is variable, and I was not able to find an independant zone-2 power on volume setting.
My Lex offers a different power-on volume setting for each zone (i.e. -45db for Zone 1, and -15db for zone 2). I'd hate to lose this capability, as it would make a mess of one or the other zones on startup.
Another option is to use a fixed line out to the power amp. Is there any option to use the Record out connections? How do the zone-2 and record out interact?
2) Rack mounting
I would be placing this in a Middle Atlantic Rack. Any feedback out there on using a Middle Atlantic custom faceplate for the RDC-7, or are there Rack ears available from Integra Research?
Appreciate any feedback provided.
Regards,
Paul
