BasX PT1 Stereo Preamplifier/DAC/Tuner

The BasX PT1 enables you to experience the flexibility and superb sound quality you can achieve with separate audiophile components at a surprisingly affordable price. The PT1 is a high performance stereo preamplifier, which includes a stereo FM tuner, inputs for line level analog sources, a built-in DAC with plenty of digital inputs for all of your digital audio sources, including a high-resolution asynchronous USB input and a built-in AptX HD capable Bluetooth receiver, and a high performance phono preamp that supports both moving magnet and moving coil cartridges. The PT1 can be operated via the simple front panel controls, or by the included infrared remote control. The intuitive menu system makes the PT1 simple to configure and operate, and the large bright blue VFD display on the front panel is easy to read, and shows you exactly what’s going on at all times. Match the PT1 with a power amplifier and a pair of speakers for a great sounding stereo system, or use the built-in active crossover to add a separate powered subwoofer to create an audiophile quality 2.1 channel system.

The new BasX PT1 builds on the legacy of Emotiva's ground breaking PT-100 preamp/tuner/DAC to bring you the next step in the evolution of affordable audiophile components. The PT1 features upgraded electronics, a streamlined menu system that allows you to tune and program FM stations directly from the remote control, and a sleeker more modern design aesthetic. If you’ve been waiting to experience the flexibility and performance of separate components then now is the time.

SOUND QUALITY FIRST

• Highly optimized circuit layout ensures the best possible sound quality, with low distortion, wide bandwidth, and a virtually silent noise floor.
• Analog inputs on the BasX PT1 follow a pure analog signal path and are never converted into the digital domain. All switching, Volume control, and Tone control in the PT1 is accomplished in the analog domain.
• Precision digital conversion on all digital inputs is provided by the legendary Analog Devices AD1955 24/192k DAC.
• The built-in high sensitivity FM tuner features 15 station presets and a Mono mode to help make even weak stations listenable.

FLEXIBLE INPUT AND OUTPUT OPTIONS

• A full complement of analog inputs, including two line level inputs, and a high quality phono input that supports both moving coil and moving magnet cartridges.
• A full complement of digital inputs, including one USB input, one coax S/PDIF input, and one optical S/PDIF input (Toslink), all support sample rates and bit depths up to 24/192. The built-in high-performance Bluetooth receiver supports Bluetooth 5 and both AptX and AAC.
• An independent, high current, direct coupled headphone amplifier provides a high quality signal to drive your favorite headphones for personal listening.
• For a high quality two-channel system, simply connect the main full-range stereo outputs on the PT1 to a separate high quality stereo power amp and a good pair of speakers, or to the inputs on a pair of powered monitors.
• For use in a high-performance 2.1 channel system, the PT1 includes separate outputs for the main speakers and a powered subwoofer, with a fixed 90 Hz crossover frequency, and active 12 dB / octave Linkwitz-Riley high-pass and low-pass filters.\
