On the XSP-1 does the front panel dim and does it have to be on for the ht bypass to work?

Thanx for the pix KC .  This looks like a promising piece of gear . Curious if the remote will be the aluminium brick type . Balance control ? Where's the pre-order sheet ?  I think i heard vince saying they were not going to have plastic remotes any more. The xda had a small alum. remote too. You had to be there to get on the xsp preorder. I signed up for xda($250), xsp($640), xpr-5($1360), xpr-7(1599). Love getting discounts  oh yea plus 2 $50 vouchers also. Its nice only living 3 hours away. |

Well buggerit!!! And I just bought that USP 1 about a month ago along with 2 XPA's...and I got a PLASTIC!!!! remote  Hmm....wonder if they will retro upgrade me...after all,I am not done buying gear yet.Got my eyes on the XPR series,and a prepro. Am I right to assume from what I read that there is no phono out on that new XMC ? Be real disappointed if not,was what I was waiting on,and Vince told me by phone a little while ago that it has phono stage. Hey Kiwi.regards..I live in Oregon,but from Wellington.Where are you mate? |

Regarding that plastic remote, that's all there is. The USP-1 does not have an alternate, just the plastic thing that no one likes.  |

Regarding that plastic remote, that's all there is. The USP-1 does not have an alternate, just the plastic thing that no one likes. In mid August, I contacted Emotiva re the status of a milled remote for the USP-1. Vince (Chen) advised me that while he had seen "renderings" and a "prototype" it was "not quite ready yet". He said that more refinements and tooling were required but that I should "stay tuned". The good news is that it looks like we may eventually see a proper/milled remote. I wonder if enough of us contact Emotiva requesting a milled remote whether they will speed up the design/production process? Deral |

I don't even use the remote since I have a Harmony but for those who use it, a milled remote would indeed be nice because the plastic one is pretty pathetic. Functional but pathetic. ;D |

So the XMC-1 now has two sub outputs again. If the two sub outputs on the XMC-1 have individual timing and/or EQ, then the H/T bypass on the XSP-1 has an issue. The XSP-1 has two sub outputs like the XMC-1, but the H/T input only has one sub input. So using the XSP-1 with the XMC-1 would render the second sub output on the XMC-1 useless, unless the XMC-1 does not have individual controls for the sub outputs.
It is interesting that the 115v indicator is green, unlike other recent Emotiva products.

It is interesting that the 115v indicator is green, unlike other recent Emotiva products. The XSP-1 has LEFT/RIGHT and Summed sub outputs. I believe that the XMC-1 will just be summed outputs, but allow multiple sub connections. |

KidChewie!! ...yer a legend ...Princess Leia had no idea what she passed up when given the opportunity to kiss a wookie! Check out the sub outputs!!... loos like we might be able to have stereo subs low-passed from the L&R inputs... And switchable full-range/high-pass option to the same L/R amp/speakers... which also means full-range outs for the HT-input... whoop whoop! ...wonder what that 'proc loop' in & out are intended for? choice The Processor Loop" can be used for things such as an equalizer, DBX Expander etc. Cool - thanks for the info rpa1man |

So... XSP-1 ...I want one ;D
Super excited about the possibility of finally being able to set both LP and HP crossovers for my fronts and subs (I want two+). What would be cool is if the HT-input could/does/can? bypass the crossover circuits of the XSP-1, so I could have 80Hz xover in the Marantz for movies, and 60Hz for the 2-channel inputs...
Anyone know if this is possible?
