Emotiva's USP-1 is an analog path stereo preamplifier controlled by a microprocessor.  It comes equipped with a Home Theater Bypass as well as a bass management system.  It's being priced at $399.  The 2-channel preamplifier has seven stereo inputs, a tape monitor loop, headphone output and illuminated front dials in the black casing.

The unit weighs 14 pounds with a dimension of 17" W by 14" Deep by 4.25" high.  The unit will begin shipping in early July and a $50 discount can be snapped if purchased by July 1st.  Emotiva is working on a second preamplifier, the XSP, which will be released before the end of 2009.  They are also building a Class H amplifier to replace the MPS-2.  It will come equipped with 7 channels at 400 watts per channel.  There's no target release date for the new amp.

It needs balance outputs for the stereo channels as well as balance in. Perhaps
the XSP will add these missing features. Would be curious to hear how it
sounds. Anyone have one?
