Lake People has followed the MC100 and MC50 with the MC10 – a mobile monitor controller the size of a hand.
The Lake People MC10 takes the high-quality monitor management of the MC100 and MC50 and brings it into a compact 108mm x 41mm x 143mm format, positioning it as ‘the perfect solution for set-ups with little space’ and for use on the road. During travel especially, the MC10 scores with its headphone amplifier and full bus powering – not dependent on a separate power supply. Since it is a Lake People headphone amplifier, it integrates the Pre-Gain circuitry to tune the amplifier perfectly to the headphones used. The MC10 can optionally also be powered with a separate power supply to conserve battery life of the connected laptop or tablet.
Two separate inputs and two outputs in addition to the two headphone jacks qualify the MC10 as a true monitor controller despite its size. The USB-C input accepts digital audio, the superb converter can process PCM with up to 384kHz and 32-bit or DSD up to DSD 356. Analogue sources can be integrated via RCA, a switch on the front switches between the inputs. Speakers or other devices can be connected via XLR or RCA outputs.
The two headphone jacks on the front panel offer quarter-inch and 3.5mm connection, carry the same signal and can be used simultaneously. Dedicated buttons activate the respective outputs, so they can be used both individually and simultaneously for playback.
Manufactured in the company’s German workshop, the MC10 is made from carefully selected, high-quality components including an Alps RK27 potentiometer with a solid 18mm knob used for volume control. The manufacturing precision guarantees a long, reliable product life – even in demanding mobile use.
The Lake People MC10 will be available from March 2026.
