2: Getting Started
Welcome to Audiolab 8300 Series
The 8300MB is a pocket powerhouse, housing 250W of pure, balanced amplification in a
casing no bigger than a shoebox.
8300MB’s full power output is delivered into any loudspeaker load – unconditionally.
Massive reserves of power are available for high current drive capability to power and control
the mightiest of speakers.
This latest development of the Audiolab range now features a fully balanced power stage
making the most of the balanced XLR inputs. This makes 8300MB a perfect match for the
8300CD using its balanced outputs, even over long cables.
If you prefer you can position 8300MB close to each loudspeaker and use long, balanced
cables to transfer the signal from 8300CD or a preamplifier. This puts 8300MB in even
closer contact with your loudspeaker for improved transient starts and stops.
However you use 8300MB we are certain that you will love the pure sound quality and
unrestrained dynamics that this amplifier brings to your hi-fi system.
Please read through this manual to obtain the very best performance from 8300MB.
