⑰ MODE
The MODE switch lets you choose between stereo or mono
operation.
Stereo mode position: The EX-332.2 behaves like a built-in
stereo "classic" amplifier. It is in this position it is necessary to
use the EX-332.2 to perform a bi-amplification. Then, using a
second amplifier that can connect to the pre-out outputs
(XLR ⑲ or RCA ⑳) left and right. The left and right speakers
should be connected respectively to the and
speaker outputs.
Mono mode position: In this configuration, the output stages
of the amplifier are "bridged" to increase the output power. In
this configuration, the left channel is amplified by the EX-332.2.
It is therefore necessary to complete your installation with an
amplifier that will power the right channel. Now you must
connect the pre-out output line (XLR ⑲ or RCA ⑳) from the
EX-332.2 to this amplifier. It is welcome to choose a power am-
plifier and equivalent gain device which features the same kind
of amplification as the EX-332.2.
The left speaker should be connected to the speaker outputs
and . The right speaker is connected
to the mono outputs of the second amplifier.
⑱ DIGITAL INPUT - DAC - COAXIAL and OPTICAL INPUTS
The EX-332.2 has an integrated digital-to-analog converter.
Consequently, it is possible to plug it digital source (such as
most television screens).
In order to ensure compatibility with all types of existing digital
connectors, the EX-332.2 has optical and coaxial plugs.
However, this entry is unique. It is not possible to listen only one
device at a time. The optical input will prevail over the coaxial
input in case you have wired both inputs.
Connections and uses
⑲ XLR CONNECTIONS (Pre-OUT)
XLR OUTPUTS connections allow the use of symmetric
links. This type of cables guarantees greater immunity to
electromagnetic interference screw. Their use is recommended
in particular when the distance between the devices is
important.
⑳ PRE OUT (RCA output)
This output allows you to use the amplifier as a preamplifier and
Therefore connect a power amplifier to upgrade the system.
SUBWOOFER OUTPUTS (2)
These two RCA outputs are identical. They correspond to the
sum of the left and right channels (mono). They are intended
to be connected to an optional subwoofer. It is not necessary to
use these two outputs that are equivalent. The second output
is dedicated to the use of a second subwoofer.

① PHONE - HEADPHONES OUTPUT
Make sure the volume control is turned down before
connecting or disconnecting headphones. Listening at high
levels can cause permanent hearing damage.
This taken Jack size 6.35 mm allows connection of stereo
headphones. It is advisable to use a listener with an impedance
between 32 and 600 ohm headphones.
When the headset is connected, the output to the speakers are
then cut.
② STANDBY ON (SLEEP MODE)
This button allows you to turn the device in Sleep mode to
conserve energy while not performing his primary function or
to resume the device in active mode.
③ GAIN
This command allows you to lower the overall gain (-10dB)
on all of your sources. This allows you to adjust the fineness
of the volume adjustment depending on the sensitivity of your
speakers and your listening level.
