7.In BRIDGED mode, connect an input cable to CHANNEL 1’s INPUT or CHANNEL 2. If you want to use both inputs, the two input signals are summed internally to produce a mono signal.

8.In STEREO and MONO modes, connect

speaker cables to the SPEAKER OUTPUTS , using either the binding post or Speakon® connectors.

•The binding post connectors are wired red = hot (+) and black = cold (–).

•See page 35 for Speakon wiring details.

9.In BRIDGED mode, connect the speaker cable like this: the positive (+) wire goes in the CHANNEL 1 SPEAKER OUTPUT’s red post and the negative (–) wire goes in CHANNEL 2’s red post. Plug nothing into the black posts. There is also a single Speakon connector for BRIDGED mode (see page 35).

10.Connect the other ends of the speaker cables to your loudspeakers.

11.Plug the amp’s power cord into a

3-prong AC outlet properly configured for the type of plug supplied with your amplifier, and capable of delivering at least 20 amps (for the 120V model). See page 29.

12.Make sure your signal source (feeding the M•2600’s inputs) is powered up and delivering signal to the amp.

13.Turn the M•2600’s POWER switch on and verify that the SIGLEDs are showing an input signal is present.

14.Slowly turn both GAIN controls up: You should hear the music and see the SIG

and meterLEDs flashing.

If the topmost LEDs (named OL, for overload) are flashing, turn down either the GAIN controls on the amp or the source signal’s output level controls (i.e., master faders). The point is: The OL LEDs should not light up.

15.For quieter listening, it is preferable to adjust the amp’s GAIN controls rather than the source signal’s output level (unless you have the source’s control all the way up!).

16.Start dancing, but don’t let the ants out of your pants.

Things You Must Remember:

• Never plug amplifier outputs into anything except speakers (unless you have an outboard box specifically designed to handle high-power speaker-level signals).

•Before making connections to an amp or reconfiguring an amp’s routing, turn the amp’s level (GAIN) controls down, turn the power off, make the changes, turn the power back on, and then turn the level controls back up.

•If you shut down your equipment, turn off the amplifiers first. When powering up, turn on the amplifiers last.

•Save the shipping boxes! You may need them someday, and you probably don’t want to have to pay for them again.
