The BasX PT2 enables you to experience the flexibility and superb sound quality you can achieve with separate audiophile components at a surprisingly affordable price. The PT2 is a high performance stereo preamplifier, which includes a high performance stereo FM tuner, a generous number of 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 PT2 can be operated via the simple front panel controls, or by the included infrared remote control. The intuitive menu system makes the PT2 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 PT2 with a power amplifier and a pair of speakers for a great sounding stereo system, or use the comprehensive active Bass Management system to add a powered subwoofer, and build a complete audiophile quality 2.1 channel system.
The new BasX PT2 builds on the legacy of our PT-100 and PT1, and adds some important features, to bring you the next step in the evolution of affordable audiophile components. The PT2 offers more inputs, a complete active analog Bass Management system, an FM tuner that allows you to tune FM stations directly from the remote control, a set of Home Theater Bypass inputs, and a sleek modern design aesthetic.
