The MV-5 Processor is a landmark product for Lexicon and represents several firsts for the brand,

offering capabilities previously only available in the flagship MC-12 HD. The MV-5 also breaks new

ground with several features not currently available in other Lexicon products – all at a fraction of the

price. At its heart, the MV-5 is a multi-faceted audio and video preamplifier with built-in processing. In

addition, the MV-5 can accommodate a pair of HDMI source devices and can connect directly to a PC

via USB, enabling the control and playback of streaming audio files. With the optional dock accessory,

iPod owners can even play their iPod®music through the MV-5.

Drawing from Lexicon’s background and expertise, the MV-5 Processor features the latest version of

Lexicon’s critically acclaimed Logic 7®decoding. The calling card of all Lexicon processors, Logic 7 has

been widely praised for its ability to greatly enhance the listening experience of any type of source

material – whether it is music, film, TV, or even video games. Using Logic 7 with your system means that your music sounds more natural – more

like you’d hear it at a live event; movies are more compelling, drawing you deeper into the illusion of being there; and video games put you right

in the middle of the action. There’s very little that Logic 7 can’t improve, and it’s just one more reason why Lexicon products are considered to

be the best in the industry. The MV-5 features an automated procedure for use in speaker setup, which also performs system equalization. Most

equalization systems simply knock down the peaks in the response, but the MV-5 calibrates the system more intelligently - compensating for

frequency response aberrations and varied speaker performance, while balancing the entire system for the best overall results. In addition, the MV-5

is capable of storing different calibrations, so up to three different listening positions can be recalled at the touch of a button. The end result is a

system that optimizes the sound quality where it counts the most – at your seat!

The MV-5 is the first Lexicon processor to feature integrated Faroudja®video processing technology. With this superior video capability, the MV-5

can take any incoming video format and up-convert it to HDMI output, so a single HDMI cable can be utilized between the MV-5 and the video

display. The MV-5 can also scale the video to 720p or 1080i output resolution for improved video performance from standard definition sources. In

addition, the MV-5 has two menu pages, per input, devoted solely to advanced user-adjustable video processing features such as Faroudja’s DCDi®,

designed to smooth out the jagged edges caused when video is de-interlaced. Film mode detection, another option, automatically identifies film

sources and restores the proper frame sequence, and the noise reduction option helps to minimize the noise often contained within analog video

signals. Also included are basics such as brightness, sharpness, and contrast.
