M700 Mono Amplifier
Country Specific
AC Voltages
The Stellar M700, as with all PS Audio products, is country specific to its incoming AC
voltage. This means the unit can only be operated at its preset voltage, such as 230 volts
for most of Europe and Asia, 100 volts for Japan, and 120 volts for the US and other
similar countries. Immediate damage can occur if you try and power the Stellar with a
voltage it was not designed to operate on.
Connecting the
Speaker Cables
With the amplifier firmly seated where you have selected, it is time to connect the speaker
cables. The Stellar M700 uses custom machined connectors. These connectors were
specially engineered to match the performance specifications of the Stellar Amp.
The connectors can accept spade, banana, or wire connections. There are two sets for
each channel on the M700. Most systems will use only one set of the binding posts to
connect the speaker cable. Use only the finest speaker cables and connectors.
WARNING! Never connect speaker cables while the amp is on. If one speaker lead is
connected (+ or -) and the other lead brushes up against the chassis, there is the potential
to present the speaker with 25VDC. This voltage has the potential to damage a driver
(usually the woofer) in a speaker.

Black Terminal
is not Ground
Its important to note that the Stellar Amplifier is a fully balanced BTL amplifier. As such
the Black terminal is not ground. If connecting the Stellar M700 to a REL Acoustics
subwoofer, its important to consult the manufacturer’s service documentation to ensure
the M700 is appropriate for the subwoofer.
Biwire
Some may wish to biwire their speakers to the M700. This practice involves using one
shotgun configured cable or two separate cables. In either case, connect one cable to
one set of binding posts, the other to the second set. On the loudspeaker side, one pair
of cables goes to the tweeter binding posts, the remaining set to the woofer section.
