The EX-214 is an integrated amplifier with Bluetooth connectivity from BC Acoustique, built with a dedicated phono input. The EX-214 brings BC Acoustique's considered engineering to a complete integrated solution with modern wireless connectivity.
Key specs that matter
Two single-ended inputs plus a dedicated phono input are provided, alongside built-in Bluetooth wireless connectivity. Phono input impedance is the standard 47,000 ohms, with phono gain at 45dBu. Output power is 2 x 45W into 8 ohms, rising to 2 x 70W into 4 ohms. Frequency response spans 20Hz to 20,000Hz within plus-or-minus 3dB. Signal-to-noise ratio exceeds 100dB, with total harmonic distortion plus noise under 0.01%. At 430 x 60 x 245mm and 5.72kg, the EX-214 maintains a compact, slim integrated amplifier chassis.
Sound and use context
Expect clean amplification reflecting the strong over-100dB signal-to-noise and low sub-0.01% distortion figures, combined with convenient built-in Bluetooth wireless streaming and a dedicated phono input covering vinyl directly.
Pairing
The built-in phono input covers a turntable directly, and the Bluetooth connectivity adds genuine wireless streaming flexibility without needing a separate outboard streamer.
Alternatives
BC Acoustique's own EX-234 offers a more powerful alternative within the same broader integrated amplifier catalogue.
