[10]R – L SPEAKERS

Speaker connection

Always use a cable of a sufficient diameter for connecting your speakers to the M219.

REVOX recommends:

up to 15 m:

Ø 1.50 mm2

up to 30 m:

Ø 2.50 mm2

over 30 m:

Ø 4.00 mm2

We recommend not to use cables longer than 50, due to the unavoidable loss of HiFi reproduction.

Each individual speaker must have an impedance of 4 or higher. You must ensure that all cable strands are within the screwable Phoenix connector and that none of them come into contact with any adjacent connectors or the M219 housing.

You will only be assured of a perfect stage-quality reproduction if you ensure correct polarity when connecting. A wrong polarity will not cause any damage to the speaker or to the M219, but it can result in imprecise and diffused reproduction that is weak in the base ranges.

[11] FUSE

Fuse!

Always power the unit down before replacing the fuse.

When replacing the fuse, always one of the same type as shown on the M219 rating label.

Other fuse types with different power, voltage or operational characteristics can endanger your life and damage the unit.

The fuse holder can be removed by pushing it in slightly and then turning it in the direction of the arrow.

[12] AC-POWER

!

Power connection

 

Only use the REVOX power cable supplied. You must also ensure that the power supply used delivers the voltage as shown on the M219 rating label (240V). If required, the M219 can be modified to work with other voltages. This modification should only be carried out by an authorised specialist.
