One of the important features offered by the Emotiva RMC-1 is expandability.
We are pleased to announce the release of the first two expansion modules for the RMC-1: a high-performance phono preamp and an input module that adds two additional stereo balanced analog inputs to the one already available in the RMC-1.
The Phono Preamp Input Module allows you to add the same features and performance available in our highly acclaimed XSP-1 phono preamp to your RMC-1 in the form of a convenient internal module. It supports both moving magnet (MM) and moving coil (MC) cartridges, with very low noise and distortion, exceptionally accurate RIAA equalization, and user selectable load impedances choices for moving coil cartridges.
The Balanced Input Module adds two more fully balanced analog stereo inputs to the one already present in the RMC-1. The performance and specifications of these inputs are the same as those of the original internal balanced input.
Expansion Slot #1 and Expansion Slot #2 on the RMC-1 are allocated for this type of expansion modules. Either of these modules may be installed in either of those slots and they may be installed in any combination. Expansion Slot #3 is reserved for other types of expansion modules.
We strongly recommend that you send your RMC-1 in, so we can install your modules for you, and fully test your RMC-1 to make sure everything is working perfectly afterwards. However, if you prefer, we also offer a self-install option. If you send your unit in, the price includes the $25 service fee.
RMC-1 Phono Preamp Input Expansion Module
The Phono Input Expansion Module is a high-performance phono preamplifier, which features support for both moving coil (MC) and moving magnet (MM) phono cartridges. Once installed in your RMC-1 it will integrate seamlessly into the RMC-1 menu system and can be renamed and configured just like any other input.
- Add one or two independently configurable phono inputs to your RMC-1.
- Integrates seamlessly into the RMC-1 menu system and configuration.
- Combines superb analog sound quality with excellent technical performance.
- Support for both Moving Magnet (MM) and Moving Coil (MC) cartridges.
- Precise equalization to the standard RIAA curve (within +/- 0.25 dB).
- User selectable termination impedance for Moving Coil cartridges.
- Exceptional signal-to-noise ratio and very low distortion.
RMC-1 Balanced Input Expansion Module
The Balanced Input Expansion Module has the same performance and specifications as the original Balanced Input on your RMC-1. Once installed in your RMC-1 it will integrate seamlessly into the RMC-1 menu system and can be renamed and configured just like any other input.
- Each module adds TWO sets of stereo balanced analog inputs to your RMC-1.
- The same performance and sound quality as the internal balanced analog inputs.
