Considerations
Once your Stellar M700 amplifier is unpacked, you’ll need to find a convenient place to
set it. We recommend floor mounting on a platform or shelf mounting as close to the
speakers as possible. If the source equipment (preamp or DAC) is far away from the
M700, it is recommended to use balanced interconnects if possible. Placement of the
Stellar M700 is important from several aspects: proper cooling and best audio practices.
Make certain wherever you place the M700 there is adequate ventilation space above and
below the unit.
Power Cables
Once you have chosen the location for the Stellar M700, y
ou may use either the provided
power cable or an aftermarket power cable to connect your unit to AC power. For best
results, we strongly recommend the use of a PS Audio PerfectWave
®
Power AC cable, or
any high-quality aftermarket power cable. It is always preferable to feed your equipment
using an excellent power cable, as there will be a significant performance improvement
over the stock power cable.

Connecting
Cables
Connecting cables matter. Carefully choose your speaker cables and connecting cables
to the equipment. Our preference for input cables is balanced, XLR type, but well
built single ended RCA cables are fine as well. Speaker cables can make or break the
performance of an amplifier and great care should be taken in using only the best match
for your loudspeakers and Stellar amplifier.
