1. Rear panel - redesigned input board with Preamp Output and HT Bypass Input
FEATURES HIGHLIGHT: 1.1 Preamp Output The preamp output can be enabled/disabled by using remote control. Modes:
OUT1: EX-M1+ as integrated amp
OUT2: EX-M1+ power amplifier stage defeated, it works as a preamp, output via the Preamp Output RCA jack
OUT1+2: EX-M1+ as integrated amp, and, preamp output activated. This is a nice feature for multiple speakers user to connect the preout to subwoofer, or, to an external amplifier output to biamp a pair of loudspeaker with the EX-M1+ amplifier output.
1.2 HT Bypass Amplifier Input As the name suggested, with this input, you can use the EX-M1+ as a power amp. This feature can be enabled by the remote control. 2. Enhanced Aesthetic - Gold colour anodised heat-sink. No, it doesn't help to dissipate heat better. It's a choice of the design for the name of - art!
