Manufactured in the USA and with over past 25 years of experience, the AKM Velvet 
sound converters are designed to balance the amount of information, intensity, 
musicality, emotion, and focus of the original sound source through a combination of 
technical measurements and human listening tests.  

Amplifier Wiring

1)

Gently remove the MD-4 amplifier from its packaging, checking to ensure the 
amplifier has arrived safe and sound.

2)

Securely position the amplifier on a stable level surface, ensuring adequate airflow 
for proper heat dissipation through the top panel venting holes.  Ensure that the 
amplifier is away from sources of moisture and falling debris that could damage the 
internal electronics.  

3)

On the rear panel of the MD-4 panel, connect the included IEC power cable, checking 
to ensure the amplifier’s power switch is in the off position.

4)

Plug the IEC power cable into a grounded electrical outlet.  Proper surge protection 
and power conditioning is strongly recommended.  

5)

On the top rear panel of the MD-4 amplifier, identify the Neutrik NL4 output 
connectors, located immediately to the left of the ICE power cable and power switch.

6)

Using your thumb, pull the spring-loaded Neutrik NL4 connector latch back and insert 
the black and white braided subwoofer Neutrik NL4 cable connector into the top 
Neutrik NL4 panel connector of the MD-4 amplifier.

7)

Turn the Neutrik NL4 cable connector 30 degrees counter-clockwise, align the tabs of 
the connector to the inserts of the connector panel.

8)

Turn the Neutrik NL4 connector 30 degrees clockwise and release the spring loaded 
thumb-latch to lock into place.

9)

Using your thumb, pull the spring-loaded Neutik NL4 connector latch back and 
insert the brown and black braided dual Mini Dragons Neutrik NL4 connector into 
the bottom Neutrik NL4 panel connector of the MD-4 amplifier

10)

Turn the Neutrik NL4 cable 30 degrees counter-clockwise, align the tabs of the 
connector to the inserts of the connector panel
