Key Features
Product Ref: 379689
The XMC-2 is designed for those who expect top-tier sound and video in one unit. It supports the latest 4K UHD formats including HDR and Dolby Vision, while also decoding advanced audio formats like Dolby Atmos (up to 9.1.6) and DTS:X (up to 7.1.4). Whether you're watching a blockbuster or spinning your favourite record, it handles everything from pure analogue to high-resolution DSD audio. This means you don’t need to choose between high-performance home cinema and true hi-fi music playback — with the XMC-2, you get both, without compromise.
At its core, the XMC-2 is built for exceptional sound quality. Its analogue circuitry is tuned to deliver clarity and warmth, making music sound natural and immersive. Whether you’re listening in stereo or surround, the XMC-2 offers the fidelity you'd expect from premium separate components. It supports both traditional and immersive formats like Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, ensuring your films and music are always heard at their best. With this level of engineering, it’s equally at home in a dedicated hi-fi setup or a high-performance home theatre.
Despite its power, the XMC-2 is simple to control and customise. The interface is clear and logical, with an intuitive front-panel display and on-screen menu. You can operate it via the front dial, the solid metal remote, or an app for your phone or computer. It supports up to three subwoofers and offers precise bass management and dual parametric EQs for tailored sound. And when you're ready for full system calibration, Dirac Live takes over — analysing your room’s acoustics and optimising playback for balanced, lifelike sound in any space.
