It’s named the Rmc-2 It’s made by Emotiva. Supposedly 16channels. Fully balanced. No expansion modules.
And as of right now. It’s unavailable.

Fully balanced?? We sure?

Fully balanced?? We sure? Supposed to be an rmc1 withOUT expansion bays. I thought all else was “supposed” to be the same. Xmc2 was supposed to be the only front 3 were fully balanced. I could be wrong though. Until an actual spec sheet hits the website its all hearsay and speculation.

It is supposed to be what the original RMC-1 was before we openly complained and got the RMC-1 with expansion modules. In other words, it's the RMC-1 minus expansions modules. You are correct. And yes, fully balanced, which is what really sets is apart from the completion. Well, that and Dirac.

Yes, the RMC-2 will be the same as the RMC-1 - minus the expansion modules.
It was originally envisioned that there would be a few other minor differences as well. However, we now plan the other features and capabilities to be exactly the same.

And don't forget the popular "better" name of "RMC-1L" since it's the same generation design as the RMC-1 ... :-)

All channels fully balanced.

Fully balanced?? We sure? Its always confusing that that term is interchangeable with xlr balanced outputs on all channels rather than dual differential balanced circuitry input to output. This is where it has a leg up on the opposition which likely isn't dual differentially balanced ; that costs more Its the difference between the monoprice ofFering and the parent companies ATP16 that is more than double its price ; at a guess The clue there is no balanced analog inputs on the monoprice ; just unbalanced..

This is where it has a leg up on the opposition which likely isn't dual differentially balanced ; that costs more Its the difference between the monoprice ofFering and the parent companies ATP16 that is more than double its price ; at a guess The clue there is no balanced analog inputs on the monoprice ; just unbalanced.. How much of a difference will it make for anyone who's not running 16 Xpa-1's for a "Fully Dual Differential" system ?

Curious why you picked an exxy xpa1 solution when theres plenty of cheaper balanced solutions out there ? emotiva.com/products/pa-1In any case wouldn't you prefer a system that has common mode noise reduction working for it ; theoretical advantage or not ? Same reason Denon made the exxy AVPA1HD fully differential too

While I've been slow to even think about possible ceiling speakers/channels, the RMC-2 is definitely on my radar. Who knows what the RMC-1/RMC-2/XMC-2 have in store for the future, but I'll probably be sitting this out at least until mid-year 2019 as I have other home DIY projects such as painting my kitchen cabinets and replacing kitchen and bathroom tile floors that take precedence. I do however believe the firmware troubles of the RMC-1 will be cleared up by the time I'm ready, which means the RMC-2 and XMC-2 if released by my timeline will also be solid. Not to mention that since EmoFest 2019 will be Memorial Day weekend I just may get a great deal being an attendee!!!

I agree....... concur with all that LCSeminole said in this post including the parts about kitchen and bathroom work this spring before making my final decision. like LC... I am leaning toward the RMC-2. tchaik......

Rmc-2 will be differential reference on lcr. Rmc-1 is all 16+ channels. And next step down will be left and right differential reference. I’m guessing this is the xmc-2.

They go in sets of 4’s I thought. 2 differential takes 4 spots. So the RMC-2 is LCR and LFE fully differential. Which takes up 8 and there is 12 more. The XMC-2 I thought was LCR so 6 plus 10... The RMC-1 is 32.. That’s why I could either see a LR balanced 7.1.2 or LCR balanced 5.2.2 in the future. I thought that’s what I heard about the dsp systems being at their core 4 unit breakdowns. I’m confused though. Either Dan or Keith didn’t get the update because I thought Keith was saying it was identical to the RMC-1 except expansions.

Well this would be new change of heart information. I almost want to say he was confusing numbers. But perhaps they have changed their way of thinking and going after different price points. Changing their minds is an Emotiva specialty.

Or it could be seen as being flexible enough to listen to consumer needs. All depends on how you initially view the company as a whole.
