540A/640A Integrated amplifier Bi-a amping Treble Treble The azur amplifiers are equipped with PRE-OUT sockets. If your Bass Bass loudspeakers have two sets of terminals then it is possible to bi-amp your system using a further power amplifier. Bi-amping uses two amplifiers to drive the bass and treble units in the loudspeakers independently, resulting in even greater clarity coupled with improved control and dynamics. An example of a bi-amp setup is illustrated in the diagram adjacent. Slave a
