QUICK SETUP GUIDE
In case you simply cannot wait to experience the performance of your new

started.
Ensure that the M23 is unplugged before making any connections. It is
also advisable to power-down or unplug all associated components while
making or breaking any signal or AC power connections. Set the external
source's volume control to minimum level. External source can be a
preamplifier, processor, amplifier or any applicable device.

the selection for AUDIO INPUT must be the same for both L (left) and R

rear panel’s BALANCED or SINGLE-ENDED audio input.

listening level.
SAVE THE PACKAGING
Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your M23 arrived.
Should you move or otherwise need to transport your M23, this is by far the
safest container in which to do so. We’ve seen too many otherwise perfect
components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping carton, so
please: Save that box!

BARE WIRES AND PIN CONNECTORS
WARNING:
The terminals marked with this symbol
are hazardous live. External wiring connected to these
terminals requires installation by an instructed person or
the use of ready-made leads or cords.
Bare wires and pin sockets should be inserted into the hole in the shaft of
the terminal. Unscrew the speaker terminal’s bushing until the hole in the
screw shaft is revealed. Insert the pin or bare cable end into the hole and
secure the cable by tightening down the terminal’s bushing. Ensure bare
wire from the speaker cables does not touch the back panel or another
socket. Ensure that there is only 1/2” (1cm) of bare cable or pin and no loose
strands of speakers wire.
FEET INSTALLATION
The supplied magnetic feet can be easily installed by aligning and attaching
them to their corresponding foot shoe. Refer to the illustration below.
