BasX  PT-100 Stereo Preamp / DAC / Tuner

Note: When the USB input on the PT-100 is connected to a computer or other equivalent device, 

it will be seen as “an external USB sound card”. Both Apple computers and computers running 

Microsoft Windows support USB audio internally; so both should allow you to play USB audio 

up to 24/96k WITHOUT installing any extra drivers. Some other devices, including most Linux 

computers, some media players, and some smart phones, may also support USB audio, but 

you’ll have to check with the manufacturer of each individual device to find out for sure, and to 

get details about how to hook up and configure it.

(The USB input on the PT-100 supports “USB Audio Class 1”.) 

Note: The digital inputs on the BasX PT-100 accept STEREO digital audio signals. They do not 

accept digitally encoded surround sound like DTS or Dolby Digital. Some digital sources may 

need to be specifically configured to output a STEREO signal.

 9. Trigger Output

A 12 VDC signal is sent from the Trigger Output of the PT-100 to turn on other devices when the 

PT-100 is turned on. This signal can be used to turn on other trigger-enabled audio equipment - 

such as a power amplifier.

 10. AC Power Voltage LEDs

The PT-100 is designed to operate on either 115 VAC or 230 VAC, and automatically detects and 

configures itself to operate with your local line voltage.  These LEDs tell you which line voltage the 

PT-100 has detected.  

 11.  Power Cord Receptacle

Use this receptacle to attach the included power cable for the PT-100. 

 12. AC Power Switch

Switches the main AC power to the PT-100 On and Off. When this switch is Off, no controls operate 

(the PT-100 power amp cannot be turned On from the front panel or remote control).
