Hi all,
I couldn't find any AV pre-pro with 2 sets of L/R XLR outputs for bi-amping (by just browsing the web). Looking at some user manuals (Arcam AV40, Monoprice HTP1, Anthem AVM60), it seems that XLR channels cannot be reassigned.
Does that mean that using a XLR splitter is the only solution? Doing so will result in dividing the output voltage by 2, isn't it?
This would be a real problem: most of modern pre-pros already struggle to output 4Vrms with a decent SINAD. Outputting 8Vrms (to get 2x4 Vrms) would result in a poor SINAD. Otherwise, with a decent SINAD, we have to deal with 2Vrms which is like a RCA output. This requires higher gain power amps compared to a 4V XLR.
Is there a pre-pro able to output 8Vrms at 0 dB with a decent SINAD?
Thanks in advance for your help!
