Awarded by a “Diapason d'Or”, this BC Acoustique Integrated Amplifier has been created designed with an « audiophile spirit » and with the idea to allow music lovers looking for real « music fidelity » to be satisfied. The EX322 can deliver an output power of 2x80W RMS on 8 Ohms speakers and, thanks to its massive 500VA transformer, 2x150W RMS on 4 Ohms. The EX322 is equipped with 5 audio inputs including one allowing to connect with different optional cards (numerical DAC, network, Phono input, etc.). A headphone output (jack 6,35mm) is also available. The EX322 also offers a « Pre-Out » RCA that allows to make a bi-amping (with another power-amp).

The EX322 frontage has pulse illuminating keys that give a soft white light when pressed
Thus, the amplifier offers a choice of 5 stereo inputs line in.
Pressing on one of the keys activates a relay switching source, unless we prefer using a remote. 

The EX322 frontage has pulse illuminating keys that give a soft white light when pressed. Thus, the amplifier offers a choice of five stereo line level inputs. Pressing on one of the keys activates a relay switching source, unless we prefer using a remote.

The input line level called "option" differs from others as it is possible to upgrade it with Optional modules that fits in a suitable housing. Today a Phono (MM/MC) preamplifier board is already available. A USB DAC board and a WiFi extension are under development and will be launched in 2014.

To improve the flexibility of the EX-322, it has a « Pre-Out » RCA output thatallowsthe addition of a power amplifier to perform a bi-amplification.

The left front portion has the headphone output and a "Direct" button bypassing the control stage treble and bass tone. These have been developed to work only on small frequency ranges to be able to play on adjusting the tonal balance according to the local listening room. The two potentiometers are retractable by pressing them: so they are flush with the facade penalty, thus avoiding any unwanted adjustment. In the center stands the volume knob is also remote controlled.
