Setup and Connections

M Manual

 

r

 

The startup procedure is about 4 seconds. After this, 

M is ready to play. 

r

 

The overall volume of M can be controlled with the 

Master  Volume

.  This  also  affects  the  Headphones 

output. To adjust the level of your headphones, use 
the headphones gain control as well. 

r

 

If  you  do  not  choose  to  connect  a  mixing  console, 
you  can  patch  M’s  output  signals  directly  to  an 
amplifier or an audio interface. Use an input usually 
called Line, Aux or Tape input. 

r

 

M’s  audio  outputs  deliver  unbalanced  line  levels. 
When  connecting  to  an  amplifier,  a  mixing  console 
or  an  audio  interface  with  automatic  balan-
ced/unbalanced sensing inputs, please make sure to 
use  TS  mono  jack  cables  and  not  TRS  stereo  jack 
cables. 

s

 

Before  connecting  and  disconnecting  M  to  a  power 

supply source, turn your amp’s volume control all the 
way  down  to  avoid  damage  due  to  on/off  switching 
noise.  M  produces  a  high  level  output  signal.  Please 
take  care  that  the  connected  playback  device  is  sui-
table  for  the  high  level  of  an  electronic  instrument. 
Never  use  the  microphone  or  phono  input  of  the 
connected amp! 

The Rear Panel Connections 

M  provides  an  analog  stereo  audio  output,  4  additional  
stereo  aux  outputs  and  a  headphones  output.  The  main 
audio and headphones outputs are affected by the setting 
of the 

Master Volume

 control dial.  

Headphones Output and Headphone Volume 

Here  you  can  connect  any  headphone 
with  a  1/4-inch  stereo  plug.  The 
headphone  output  uses  the  same 
signal  as  the  main  output.  The 
Headphones Volume controls the M’s 
headphone volume in addition to the 

Main Volume

 knob. Use this knob to amplify or attenuate 

headphones level to adjust for individual headphone loud-
ness and impedance. 

Main Audio Output 

Use 2 TS mono jack cables to connect 
the Main audio output to a mixer. Use 
your mixing console to appropriately 
distribute  the  stereo  channels  in 
case.  If  you  want  to  connect  an  out-
put  monophonically,  only  use  the 

L/Mono

 

jack of the output pair with a 1/4 inch mono plug.
