⑦ INTEGRATED BLUETOOTH ANTENNA
The integrated Bluetooth antenna allows reception of the music
from an external device that can send a Bluetooth signal such as
your smartphone or tablet.
Its range is limited to a few meters (depending on the nature
of the obstacles between the amplifier and your Bluetooth
source).
⑧ OUTPUTS (RCA)
REC
It allows to retrieve the selected amplifier to «source» level
audio signal that is independent of the level volume control.
This output is traditionally used to connect the amplifier to
a recording device.
LINE
It allows to retrieve the selected audio amplifier in proportion
to the level of volume control signal. This output is mainly used
to connect an additional power block to perform a
«bi-amplification».
⑨ INPUTS (RCA)
The LINE 1 and LINE 2 inputs are designed to connect sources
«line level» to your amplifier.
The PHONO stereo input allows you to connect a turntable. The
EX-214 has an internal Phono MM preamplifier.
These inputs are designed for so-called «analog» signals
(as opposed to «digital» signals). Compatible cables are made
with these type «RCA», they are traditionally identified by a
color code «RED» for the RIGHT channel and «WHITE» for the
LEFT channel.
⑩ GND - GROUND ON/OFF
Your amplifier has a mains socket outlet with a ground
connection. The use of this type of connection is re
commended for electrical safety reasons (including
wetlands). However sometimes this connection
«mass» is the origin of «hum» audible from the speakers in a
hi-fi system to solve this problem, the cancellation of the ground
connection is sometimes sufficient. To do this you have, at the
back of the device, the mass of the device to the mains that you
can choose to connect, or not.
Connections
① 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.
② IR SENSOR
This window receives IR commands (Infra Red) from the remote
control. It is essential that there is no obstacle between the
remote control and the amplifier's sensor.
TONE CONTROL AND BALANCE
These functions on music signals output from the speakers and
the line output (RCA) outputs. They are not active on the REC
output (for recording the original signals).
③ BASS and TREBLE
The button «BASS» setting can act on the relative level of low
frequencies to alter the tonal balance of the sound to suit
your room acoustics and your tastes. The «TREBLE» button for
meanwhile high frequencies.
When these buttons are in the middle position, it means that
the tonal balance is not changed. The adjustable range is
+ 10 decibels (knob turned in the direction of clockwise) and
- 10 decibels (knob turned anticlockwise).
④ BALANCE
This command allows you to adjust the relative output levels of
the left and right channels. In the center position, the output
level of each channel is equal.
⑤ DIRECT
If this function is activated (light signal active), then the BASS
and TREBLE functions are disabled. The purpose of this function
is to shut down the electronic circuit’s tone control in order to
best preserve the purity of the music signal.
⑥ VOLUME
This knob adjusts the output volume of the amplifier at the
speaker outputs.
⑦ LOUDNESS
Musical recordings are made with devices that are designed to
keep the musical balance as at a concert. When reproducing the
same quality is desired by the listener. This is the entire chain,
from microphone to the listener’s ears to be faithful.
The Loudness function object to «compensate» the peculiarity
of the human ear. Thus, we invite you to «activate» the button
(light signal active) when you listen at low volume.
