amplifier module

brass instead of steel

The bolt holding the
heavy transformer
has been made
from brass
instead of steel
as this was also
found to make a
difference to the low
frequency impact of the
amplifier. Higher cost 
well invested.

beauty to last

The finned fascia is
machined to high
accuracy from a
solid aluminium
extrusion and is
then painted.

vibration damping

The cover panel is
bonded with
viscoelastic
laminate to
provide a low Q
assembly which
provides rapid
absorption of
externally induced
vibrations. 

preparation

We know you are keen to get your 250MR working. This section will have you
listening as quickly as possible. The controls diagrams located on pages 2 and
3 of this manual will help you find your way around your 250MR

(1)

.

safety first

To prevent the risk of electric shock follow
these instructions carefully. If in doubt consult
a qualified electrician.

before you start

Make sure that all the components of your
system are disconnected from the AC supply
whenever you change any connection.

If the unit is not to be used for some time,
withdraw the mains plug from the wall socket
outlet.

positioning

The 250MR is capable of consuming over
650 Watts of electrical power during
demanding presentations. This results in
significant heat being dissipated. 

1. Throughout this instruction manual, 

bold

print indicates the lettering that you will find on the panels of your 250MR and the Remote Control

• Please ensure that there is adequate

ventilation above and below the unit. 

• The ventilation of the 250MR should

not be impeded by covering the
ventilation slots with items such as
newspapers, table cloths, curtains etc.

• Place the 250MR on an open flat

surface. 

• Do not use in a cabinet or on a soft

surface such as a carpet.

• Do not place any other piece of

equipment on top of the 250MR. 

• Do not place naked flame sources such

as lighted candles on the 250MR.

• Do not expose the 250MR to dripping

or splashing liquids.

• Do not place objects filled with liquids,

such as vases, on or near the 250MR.
