BC Acoustique EX-214 Integrated Amplifier with phono input and Bluetooth

This EX-214 amplifier was designed with an audiophile approach to ensure the music lover a faithful reproduction of his favourite music. It delivers 2x45W RMS into 8Ω, or 2x70W into 4Ω.

It includes a Bluetooth interface, allowing you to play music from Smartphones. The EX-214 comes with 2 unbalanced audio inputs, a 3.5 mini jack MP3 input, a Phono input and one digital input (coaxial and/or optical) allowing connection to latest generation TV sets. Finally, it provides a « pre-out » to perform bi-amplification or to add a sub-woofer.
