Well that certainly explains why I didn't understand how it works!

I use it in-line with the amp, because I use the voicing for LP Records and always for "Room Correction." It's indispensable in my use. |

Yeah, the MEN220 is on my "future" list. I've been keeping my eyes open on audiogon and eBay for any that show up; but, honestly, there are other things that are going to take precedent over it at this point. Notably, I still need a proper turntable!

And in my case.
Along with REW I have made extensive use of the custom voicing tool to tune out serious low end issues in my room. The RP room correction was just gravy for me. It creates more separation and staging. I have three focus positions. One directly at my ears in the 'triangle' point and one each on the outside edges of two chairs straddling the triangle point. When I have two people, I then use the global setting. The center is not as sharp as with one chair on focus one but it is pretty close for both chairs. My wife calls these my selfish and sharing settings.

Bill.......A couple clarifications:
The MEN220 digitizes the input signals then returns them to analog at the outputs whether Room Perfect filters are active or in Bypass. The MEN220 does not have a pure analog bypass, so if it is installed between the preamp and the amplifiers there will be no way to achieve a true analog bypass. The C2300 does indeed have a processor loop but it is labeled Server (SRVR). You have SRVR Output and SRVR Input. This is the processor loop, or tape loop, or server loop, whichever way you wish to use it. The SRVR output is a line level output that is unaffected by the volume. The MEN220 can be installed in this SRVR loop and then can be fully bypassed if one chooses.

Once again, Dan shines the light. I owned a C2300 for years and did not know it had a processor loop.

Jason.......Yep, accessed from the Rec Monitor button on the front of the C2300.

Dan thanks. So just push the REC MONITOR button and any source plays right through?

Looking at the connection diagram you can replace the MS750 with the MEN220, some other processor or equalizer, or a tape recorder. Something to consider about installing the MEN220 in the record loop, you cannot use the active crossover feature because the MEN220 outputs will not be variable with the volume. You will also need to make sure you have selected the line level setting in the MEN220 setup menu if it is installed in the record loop.
