Modular Entertainment Centre

Smaller, quieter, cooler, more efficient
The new Modular Entertainment Centre brings easier installation of multi-zone entertainment systems to the superyacht yards, and a new level of stability, versatility and efficiency to yacht owners and operators.

Entertainment Centres form the core of the audio-visual structure in each individual zone - be it a cabin, external deck or communal area.  Installed out of sight, they receive commands from the remote controls that control and select the entertainment system components such as the central media server, satellite TV tuners, terrestrial feeds, Internet and other sources, and transmit them to the amplifiers, speakers and monitors.  They also act as the relay point for external inputs such as disc drives, iPod docks and games consoles, and receive, process and transmit commands for the cabin control, CCTV and other hotel functions.

Modular
The new MEC from Lantic does all that and more, yet remarkably the unit itself is significantly smaller than earlier models.  This has been achieved partly by reductions in component size and partly by removing the full sized amplifier that was fitted in the earlier units.  A small 2 x 20w amplifier is instead fitted in the new MEC for use either as a main or slave unit, but you as an owner can now select and connect independent amplifiers of your choice to create exactly the sound quality and power you seek.  

Minimised heat dissipation
This modular approach of splitting one unit into two or more provides you with new options as to how and where to install the equipment, as does the fact that the centres now give off less heat, thereby reducing the ventilation requirements, and can be mounted both vertically and horizontally.  Additional benefits for the vessel and her occupants include the incorporation of a noiseless, solid-state hard disc and reduced fan sound.  The introduction of a stand-by mode also minimises power consumption. 

The new Modular Entertainment Centre represents another phase in Lantic’s policy of continuous improvement designed to keep its products at the forefront of networked, integrated entertainment systems, and follows on from the introduction of a new user interface and iPad compatibility earlier in 2011.
