Heritage Audio MCM-8 MK2 500 Series 8-Slot Rack

Standing for Music Compact Mixer 8, the MCM-8 is an 8-slot 500 Series enclosure with 10-channel mixing capabilities and it's the top of the line of Heritage Audio's "ON SLOT" Technology (OST) 500 Series enclosures.

In this MK2 edition of the MCM-8 rack, the first notable addition is the lower noise floor, making it one of the quietest summing mixers and 500 series power supplies on the market.

The second addition is the much requested feature of a 500 series slot bypass switch. This switch allows the user to still use the summing mixer function of the MCM-8, whether a module is inserted into the corresponding slot or not. This makes the unit considerably more useful for users that have limited number of modules currently, but could be getting more in the future.

"On Slot Technology" takes advantage of last generation power electronics to handle power supply on a "per slot" basis. Each slot has its own power supply linear regulation stages, therefore modules are isolated from the rest. They just share the metal enclosure.
