Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Does the PT-2 have a built-in amplifier?

No — it’s a preamplifier, so it requires a separate power amplifier like the Emotiva BasX A2, A3+, or A5.

2. Can I connect it directly to powered speakers?

Yes, you can connect it to powered speakers using the line-level stereo output. Just make sure your powered speakers have a volume control.

3. Is it compatible with both MM and MC phono cartridges?

Yes. It features switchable MM/MC phono input, so it supports most turntables on the market.

4. Can I use it with a home theater receiver?

Yes, via the HT Bypass input — this allows the PT-2 to route front channels through your stereo system when watching movies.

5. Does it support streaming over Wi-Fi or only Bluetooth?

The PT-2 supports Bluetooth only — there’s no Wi-Fi or network streaming built-in.

6. Can I connect a subwoofer to it?

Yes. There’s a dedicated mono subwoofer pre-out for easy subwoofer integration in a 2.1 setup.

7. Is the DAC good enough for hi-res audio?

Absolutely. The internal DAC handles 24-bit / 192kHz via optical and coaxial digital inputs, delivering clean, crisp playback.

8. Can I control it via an app?

No — there is no mobile app. All controls are through the front panel and included remote control.

9. What’s the ideal amp pairing?

It works brilliantly with Emotiva’s BasX amplifiers, but also pairs well with most power amps rated for 4Ω or 8Ω speakers.

10. Does it have a warranty?

Yes — Emotiva offers a 3-year warranty on the PT-2 for peace of mind.
