4. Main Power Switch

This switch controls the AC power going to the MPower 
monitor.  We  suggest  keeping  the  switch  in  the  OFF 
position  when  the  monitor  is  not  being  used  for  an 
extended period of time.
 

5. 110V/220V Selector Switch

The MPower monitors can operate in a 110-120V or 220-
240V  environment. 

6. AC Power Inlet with Fuse Holder

7. Volume Control

This  volume  knob  controls  the  MPower  monitor’s  input 
sensitivity. Typically, you would want to set this knob to the 
maximum setting (+6dB), adjust the source’s output level 
and then use this volume knob to match the left and right 
MPower monitors.

8. HF Adjustment

This  high  frequency  adjustment  is  factory  set  at  0dB. 
Simply adjust accordingly to your listening preference.

Simply  slide  the  selector  to  the 

required power input setting and replace the fuse to the 
proper  rating 

prior  to

  connecting  the  monitors  to  the 

power source.

USE  OF  IMPROPER  VOLTAGE  MAY  RESULT  IN 
HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS AND/OR DAMAGE TO THE 
MONITOR COMPONENTS THAT ARE NOT COVERED 
BY THE FACTORY WARRANTY.

FOR YOUR SAFETY, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THE 
MONITOR  IS  NOT  CONNECTED  TO  ANY  POWER 
SOURCE PRIOR TO ACCESSING THE AC SELECTOR 
AND FUSE COMPARTMENT.

This AC line connector is fused to protect the amplifier from 
unwanted power surges. Be sure to use the proper fuse 
rating when replacing the existing fuse:
M6: ø5 x 20mm 2A/250V UL/VDE slow blow tube fuse
M8: ø5 x 20mm 3.15A/250V UL/VDE slow blow tube fuse

To  access  the  fuse  compartment,  simply 
unplug  the  power  cable  from  the  monitor, 
place a flat-head screw driver in the small 
notch and pry it open as illustrated.
