Accuphase E-350 User Manual

ENGLISH
You can set the EXT PRE button to ON to separate the preamplifi er and power amplifi er of the E-350, and use an external
preamplifi er or A/V amplifi er with the power amplifi er of the E-350. An example of such a connection is shown below.
Bi-amping means to drive the low frequency range and high frequency range of a loudspeaker with separate
amplifi ers, for higher sound quality.
● Connect the output of the external preamplifi er to the POWER IN jacks of the E-350.
● Only the power amplifi er of the E-350 is used in this case. The preamplifi er is inactive. Input
source switching, volume adjustment, and other preamplifi er functions must be performed
at the external equipment.

Note:
If you set the EXT PRE button to OFF, the E-350 will
operate normally (using the internal preamplifi er).
