Emotiva's Reference Audio Series RSP-1 preamplifier is specifically designed for the critical two channel listener and supports all analog source component with RCA inputs.

The are some real benefits to be realized with 2.1 operation. With the RSP-1's integrated bass management system, it easy to build an audiophile quality 2.1 system. Speaker systems have changed over time and the criteria for which type of speakers you choose has become a trade off between cosmetic design, finish type, size, performance, cost, etc. In general, the trend is towards more compact loudspeaker systems and as a result of this, deep bass output is directly affected. The 2.1 system architecture is excellent for both large full range monitors as well as component speakers having a smaller woofer/tweeter combination. When used with a high performance powered subwoofer, the performance improvements can be breathtaking. The RSP-1 makes 2.1 easy and provides outstanding performance and maximum flexibility.

Everyone appreciates the feel of a good preamp. The volume control is critical and this is why we chose a motorized large format ALPS volume control for the RSP-1. If you like the smooth feel and excellent channel tracking of a precision potentiometer, the RSP-1 will not disappoint.

Outstanding sound and build quality, precision components, modern conveniences and features coupled with versatile design separate the RSP-1 from the pack.

When you carefully consider all that the RSP-1 has to offer and then weigh it against the competition and compare prices, the choice is clear.
