4. Summed Subwoofer Output (With Active Low-Pass Filter)
This output allows you to connect a powered subwoofer to the PT1 via the 90 Hz active low-pass
filter portion of the internal bass management crossover.
5. Crossover Outputs (With Active High-Pass Filters)
These Main Outputs provide a signal that has been routed through the 90 Hz active high-pass
filter portion of the internal active bass management crossover.
6. Main Outputs (Full Range)
These outputs provide a full range stereo output signal and should be connected to the
unbalanced input on your power amplifier. These outputs provide a standard level signal which
is compatible with virtually all audio power amplifiers (or a line level input on a preamp or
integrated amplifier.
7. FM Antenna Input
Connect an FM Antenna to this input to allow the FM tuner to receive FM radio stations. The
included FM antenna will provide reasonable reception in strong signal areas.
Note: Connecting an external FM antenna to your PT1 will usually allow you to receive more FM
stations, and improve the signal strength on weak stations. You will also find that changing the
position and orientation of the antenna will often have significant effect on how many distant
stations you receive, and on the strength and signal quality of even local stations.
8. Digital Audio Inputs
The PT1 provides several different digital audio inputs to accommodate a variety of digital audio
sources.
• The Coax input accepts PCM electrical S/PDIF digital audio signals up to 24/192k. This input
is often used to connect the digital audio output from a CD player or Blu-Ray disc player. This
input ONLY accepts STEREO PCM audio signals.
• The Optical input accepts PCM optical S/PDIF digital audio signals - often referred to as Toslink
- up to 24/192k. This input is used to connect the Toslink output from a TV, disc player, or
media player. This input ONLY accepts STEREO PCM audio signals.
• The asynchronous USB input accepts digital audio from a computer or other digital audio
source that supports USB. It supports standard stereo PCM digital audio up to 24/192k.
Note: The USB audio input on the PT1 utilizes an asynchronous USB Audio Class 2 type input,
which can be connected directly to Windows 10 computers, and to Apple computers with
standard USB audio outputs. In order to use this input with a Windows 10 computer you will
need to download and install our free USB audio driver - which you can download from the
Emotiva Lounge (our Forum). You will not need to install a driver to use this input with Apple
computers that offer standard USB audio outputs. However, some Apple devices, including
most that use IOS, will reauire the use of a special Apple USB hardware adapter.
