I was on the original xmc waiting list from back in 08. But if it is going to handled like the umc was, it will be a while before the 40% group gets theirs. We will not be first. We will be taking care of those who have been so loyal to us. ;D If you were on the waiting list that far back, then you will be one of the first to get it. Very good news Lonnie on all fronts. It has the streaming, headphone a most impressive product set, 2 subs, XLR and I too am on the original wait list and have been hanging in there for you all. You all have a great weekend and it is well deserved.

Does this mean that someone with a 40% discount card will be paying only $899 for that beauty? {$1,499 minus 40% off = $899} Yep! And the upgraders will also get first crack at 'em (after those on the waiting list, I assume).

It was implied, I believe. One of the many reasons I don't buy used A/V components!

Brilliantly done guys, looks amazingly good from here in Australia. Can now pass my UMC-1 to one of my sons.
Now were do I place an order?
Also Lonnie, am a bit confused by "Phono" on the front panel. Is there an inbuilt phono pre and is it both MM/MC? Or is it an external box?
And hey some of the individual shots of the connectors do not match the back of the box. Am I missing something?

Hi Lonnie,
I have a couple of questions.
This may be obvious but I'll ask anyway so we all know, does the XMC-1 have an EQ or PEQ?
Will zone 2 be able to be configured to trigger an amp?
Cheers, Dave.

Some of you guys here simply don't read at all! The XMC-1 has a Parametric EQ, and a separate Phono MM/MC pre/amp the size of the remote control. I do read, I just missed it. I see it now on page 3 of the product release. I have had a busy day which is my excuse for missing it. Now go take your grumpy pills. Dave.

Wow! This is going to be H-U-G-E. I'm glad they didn't choose Audyssey or Trinnov and went with TACT. Love the fact that it'll be expandable and upgradeable. Thanks Emotiva crew!

There is nothing on the product release that answers my question (unless I have missed it) and Lonnie's response to chuckienut is ever so cryptic. So my question remains. Is there a phone MM/MC pre built in or does the crypto from Lonnie mean that it something external that is part of the package or yet still some completely separate piece of gear altogether? Over to you Lonnie.

NOW HEAR THIS!!!If you haven't already done so, go listen to the Podcast for today, 1-27-2012. It is by far, and I mean really far, the best Emotiva Podcast ever, period! 100% meat and potatoes with no (as in zero) filler! Great podcast by Big Dan and Lonnie. Packed with great info all about the new XMC-1. I've been dissed a lot about being a Emo fan-boy both here and at other forums. I think the XMC-1 will finally vindicate me. How about Audio/Home Theater Product of the Year, 2012. (I'll bet my next Social Security check on it ........... or maybe 2013. ;D) emotiva.com/podcasts/012712/EmoCastMix.mp3 ;D ;D ;D

Haven't read all this yet but what if I have 2 rooms and switch the systems with amp control ...can I select options of eq for the different rooms easily. As all my gear bar the speakers/tv for one room is all in the other room that is mainly 2 chan but also supporting 5/7.1?..like a zone 2 that could use XLR or RCA while zone 1 used the the other...that would be way cool...

Is there a phone MM/MC pre built in or does the crypto from Lonnie mean that it something external that is part of the package or yet still some completely separate piece of gear altogether? Over to you Lonnie. Yes, I do agree that as written Lonnie's post did not 100% confirm a small phono pre either as part of the XMC-1 or as a definite future product. I interpreted his answer as meaning if they do come out with a phono preamp it would most likely be a small unit. I'm guessing that is very likely and perhaps either the front panel photo was an older artist conception or perhaps they will have a phono selector that can be used if and when one hooks up a phono pre. I don't want to put words into Lonnie's mouth but that is my guess from a slightly vague answer. The end result is that we will either be able to have or buy a small external Emo phono pre or one from a third party brand but no built-in phono section.

Awesome Awesome, sounds like a great upgrade from Umc. Stability and flexibility will be nice. Preorder when and where
