The BC Acoustique EX-362D is a flagship high-end integrated stereo amplifier designed by the French audio manufacturer BC Acoustique. Engineered as a "no-compromise" component, it is known for delivering clean, refined power using a Class-A design paired with heavy-duty construction.
Core Highlights & Features
-
Class-A Amplification with Adjustable Bias: Operates in Class-A output up to 2x80W RMS into 8 Ω. It includes a BIAS LEVEL control that lets you select between operating in pure Class-A up to 50% power (switching to Class-AB for higher output to reduce heat) or driving maximum bias continuously in pure Class-A.
- Resistor-Network Volume Control: Volume adjustment relies on non-inductive resistors switched via high-quality relays, avoiding potentiometer degradation and maintaining total signal neutrality.
- Gain & AV Bypass: Features a dedicated -10dB GAIN control to tailor volume sensitivity to high-efficiency speakers. Line 3 includes an AV Bypass switch, turning the unit into a standalone stereo power amp for integration into home theater setups.
- Digital & Expansion Support: Equipped with onboard DAC functionality via Optical and Coaxial inputs, along with a modular expansion slot for optional Phono (MM/MC), network, or upgraded DAC boards.
