Pre-Power mode 

The pre-amplifier outputs are operational. A second power amplifier can be connected for 
bi-amplifying as shown in the diagram. An additional power amplifier can also be connected 
to drive a second pair of speakers. 

Operating Modes 

Although 8300A is an integrated amplifier, it can function as a separate pre-
amplifier and power amplifier. Rotate the MODE knob on the front panel to select 
different operating modes. 

NOTE: When switching modes, the making and breaking of connections may 
momentarily operate the muting function on the 8300A. 

Integrated mode

The pre-amplifier section is internally connected to the power amplifier. Pre-Amp 
outputs are not operational. External subwoofers, processors, or amplifiers will not 
receive any signal.

All signal to and from the power amplifier of the 8300A are disconnected. In this mode, the 
8300A functions as a stand-alone pre-amplifier. 

The pre-amplifier section of the 8300A can be connected to a stereo power amplifier, or to 
two monobloc amplifiers
