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.
Controls That Are Both Convenient And Familiar
A large easy to read blue VFD display gives you all the information you need about how your BasX PT1 is configured, and can be fully dimmed for intimate listening. The flexible menu system offers easy access to all important features and makes menu navigation a breeze.
The front panel on the PT1 features a familiar Volume Control knob but now with precision crafted knurling and soft blue glow from the crescent shaped active light, or you can control the output level from your favorite chair using the convenient remote control. The unique Balance control on the PT1 simultaneously adjusts the levels of both channels so the overall sound level in your room remains constant when you make delicate adjustments.
The intelligent Volume control in the PT1 remembers the levels you set on the headphone output and main outputs independently, ensuring that you won’t get any surprises when connecting and disconnecting your headphones.
Bass and Treble controls provide a familiar way to adjust your system to sound just the way you like it.
The FM Tuner in the PT1 allows you to tune FM stations manually or easily assign your favorite stations to any of the convenient channel presets.
All of the features on the PT1 can be operated from the front panel controls or from the included full-function infrared remote control.
