INSTALLATION
Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of the new M3i integrated amplifier. Great attention has been paid to internal layout, isolating each circuit section to prevent possible interaction.
The unit features a finely tuned and tweaked preamplifier, for smooth sound coupled with low noise and virtually no distortion.
The power amplifier consists of two top quality power amplifiers for the absolute best in separation and imaging. Generously rated, they are enough to drive even the most demanding loudspeakers with ease. Low distortion and very quiet they will deliver all music types exactly as the artist originally intended.
The resultant performance achieved by this unit is among the best in the world. It has excellent signal to noise ratio, low distortion, wide bandwidth and dynamic range, with extraordinary resolution and fine detail.
Cleaning
Before cleaning the unit, switch off power at the mains switch and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.
Clean the cabinet and remote control unit using a moist cloth. Using solvents, white spirit or thinners is not advised, as they could damage the surface finish.
Installation
Position the M3i on a stable, horizontal surface where there is no risk of it being knocked, or subjected to vibration such as from loudspeakers.
Important note:
In normal operation, the unit dissipates a small quantity of power at all times, and it is important that it is adequately ventilated. The top and bottom are perforated to allow the smooth flow of heat through the unit. It is therefore not recommended that the unit is enclosed in a cabinet or placed where the ventilation holes are impeded as this could result in excessive heat
The M3i must be protected from humidity – if the unit is moved from a cold place to a warm room, leave the unit for an hour or so to allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate.
Power Connections
The M3i is supplied with a standard IEC mains cable which plugs into the IEC socket at the back of the unit (see page 7)
Audio Connections
RCA Inputs: Connect all RCA
Outputs: Connect loudspeakers to the terminals on the back panel marked as LEFT and RIGHT SPEAKER outputs
The TAPE output allows loop through of analogue signals for example, to pass on to recorder or monitor. It is also the ideal output to connect our headphone amps into.
