1 RIGHT SPEAKERS, LEFT SPEAKERS
•
M23 is equipped with gold-plated, color-coded, transparent and
special high-current binding-post speaker terminals.
•
Connect RIGHT SPEAKERS and LEFT SPEAKERS terminals to
corresponding speakers. Make sure the “+” (red) terminal and “-”
(black) terminal are connected to the corresponding “+” and “-”
terminals of the speaker. Use extra care to ensure that no stray wires
or strands cross between posts or terminals at either end.
•
M23 is designed to produce optimum sound quality when
connected to speakers with impedances within its operating range.
Make sure that all the speakers are rated 4 ohms minimum per
speaker.
NOTE
Use stranded wire of at least 16 gauge (AWG). Connections to M23
can be made with banana plugs or by using bare wire or pins. Use the
transverse hole through the post for bare-wire or pin connections.
By loosening the terminal’s nut, make a clean, neat connection and
re-tighten carefully. To minimize the danger of short circuit, ensure that
only 1/2-inch of exposed wire or pin is employed when connecting.
2 BALANCED
•
Use BALANCED audio input for external sources that are equipped
with BALANCED audio output. Superior audio quality is ensured
with the distinctive noise reduction capability of BALANCED
connection with XLR jacks.
•
If BALANCED is the selected audio input, ensure that the SELECT
switches for both L (Left) and R (Right) channels of AUDIO INPUT are
set or switched to the direction of BALANCED.
PIN CONFIGURATION OF BALANCED XLR JACK
Pin 1: Ground
Pin 2: Positive (signal live)
Pin 3: Negative (signal return)
IMPORTANT NOTES
• Always power down M23 and other components in the system before
connecting or disconnecting anything to the BALANCED audio input jacks.
• Before powering up M23 from standby mode for the first time, make sure that
the volume control of the external source is set to minimum level position. This
prevents inadvertently beginning a session at excessive volume.
3 SINGLE-ENDED
•
Use SINGLE-ENDED audio input for sources (preamplifiers or processors)
that are not equipped with BALANCED analog audio output.
•
If SINGLE-ENDED is the selected audio input, ensure that the SELECT
switches for both L (Left) and R (Right) channels of AUDIO INPUT are
set or switched to the direction of SINGLE-ENDED.
4 SELECT
•
Use this switch to select the type of audio input.
•
If SINGLE-ENDED is the selected audio input, ensure that the SELECT
switches for both L (Left) and R (Right) channels of AUDIO INPUT are
set or switched to the direction of SINGLE-ENDED.
•
If BALANCED is the selected audio input, ensure that the SELECT
switches for both L (Left) and R (Right) channels of AUDIO INPUT are
set or switched to the direction of BALANCED.
5 +12V TRIGGER IN
•
The +12V Trigger input allows the M23 to be switched remotely from
standby to operating mode and vice-versa by an ancillary equipment
such as a preamplifier, AV processor, etc. The controlling device must
be equipped with a 12V trigger output to use this feature.
