Has Balanced, and single High or Low outputs.  
 
An FM only, analog receiver, capable of much warmth and musicality, the FT1 offers much to the dedicated listener. Weak stations are found to be quieter, while strong stations sound smoother and more melodic. This is all due to the FT1's considerable attention to sensitivity and selectivity which, being in the perfect balance provides the highest quality sound. As a mark of the FT1's reception performance, The FT1 is also in service around the world in a number of broadcast translator/repeater sites.

The FT-1 also has an infrared remote control with all-front-panel functions: eight presets, wide/narrow IF band switching, two-position DX switching for "local only" reception, fast up/down manual tuning in 50kHz steps, auto-seek mode to automatically find stereo FM stations, silent pushbutton controls, and a special "band" switch for future RF bandwidths. The Fanfare features special noise-reduction circuitry, two sets of unbalanced audio outputs (Hi and Lo), one set of balanced XLR audio outputs, and a composite output (for FM broadcast use). In other words, the FT-1 has all the bells and whistles of a mid-fi digital tuner, plus sound quality associated with the best audiophile products. It's available in either rack-mount (19") or non-rack-mount (17") versions finished in goes-with-anything black. Other finishes may be available upon request, depending on how hard you beg and how much you're willing to pay. The sample unit was the rack-mount version in ubiquitous black.

The FT-1 is an analog tuner design. It doesn't use a frequency-synthesis "black box," but discrete circuitry using tuned coils and MOSFET solid-state devices. It does use a proprietary digital microprocessor circuit called UNISET, which constantly samples for accuracy the frequency tuned to—if it detects any drift, the UNISET monitor immediately adjusts the tuner to keep it properly tuned.

RF stages in the FT-1 use high-quality varactor tuning devices and MOSFET RF amplifiers; IF stages utilize hand-selected ceramic filters for best group-delay characteristics. The low-level RCA output is direct-coupled, while the high-level output is boosted by an audio-grade amplifier stage. As long as the FT-1 is plugged into a working AC outlet, the tuning circuit stays on: If you listen very carefully, you can hear some signal coming from the FT-1 when it's turned off. Don't worry, your system hasn't developed RF problems—it's just the FT-1's way of letting you know it's still there.
