The power supply uses a large 660VA toroidal transformer. The receiver supports modern 3D cinema soundtrack formats Dolby Atmos and DTS:X.
The video section of the Emotiva BasX MR1L receiver supports 4K UHD video, HDR10 high dynamic range and Dolby Vision. Switching arsenal of new items includes six HDMI 2.0b input ports and two output ports, one of which supports the eARC audio return channel .
In addition, the unit is equipped with a multi-channel 13.2 pre-out, which allows you to use the Emotiva BasX MR1L as an AV processor by adding external power amplifiers to the system. Moreover, you yourself can determine how much to use the receiver’s built-in amplifiers and whether to use them at all, which provides a wide margin for maneuver when configuring a home theater system.
The Emotiva BasX MR1L receiver is equipped with a proprietary EmoQ automatic sound calibration system for room acoustics with an external measuring microphone. The Emotiva BasX MR 1 L 9.2-channel AV receiver is now available in the US for a suggested retail price of $1,599 .
