CONNECTING MAINS POWER

Please refer to front & rear panel view on Page 2 & 3. The moulded IEC connector of the supplied mains

lead should be plugged into the socket (14) on the rear of the unit first and then plugged into the mains

supply. The Mains power switch (12) is on the left front underside of the Integrated Amplifier.

This switch can be left on; if however the amplifier is likely to be unattended for a long period,

switch it off and unplug the mains lead from the wall.

SIGNAL CONNECTIONS

Signal Input connections:

There are five Inputs (1 – 5) on your M2 Integrated Amplifier in addition to the Tape Input (6). All these

inputs are line level inputs and will accept virtually all currently available source components.

All the inputs use gold plated RCA Phono Connectors (CD input is switchable via Switch 1a to gold

plated Balanced XLR) and should be connected according to the standard convention – Right Channel

– Red; Left Channel – Black or White.

Also in accordance with standard practice, the Upper row of RCA Sockets carries the Left

Channel and the Lower carries the Right Channel.

The Input Sockets are labelled with their legends upside down as well as the normal way round to assist

you should you be connecting an input from a position in front of and above the amplifier.

Phono Input Connections For Phono Use:

As your M2 Integrated Amplifier is a line level unit you cannot connect a turntable directly to it but

will need a dedicated phono preamplifier. The ROKSAN range of Phono Amplifiers accept

conventional moving coil and moving magnet cartridges and have custom equalisation for the

outstanding ROKSAN Shiraz cartridge. For a demonstration of ROKSAN state of the art turntable

reproduction contact your authorised retailer.

• IMPORTANT NOTE: For optimum performance it is recommended to use high quality inter-

connect cables such as ROKSAN HDC-03A high definition analogue cable.

LOUDSPEAKER CONNECTIONS

The right and left loudspeakers are connected to the amplifier via the rear panel binding posts (11) and

(12) respectively. There are two basic types of cable –

• Figure of 8 cable has two insulated conductors which lie parallel, either side by side, or

spaced by insulation.

• Overall sheathed cable has both conductors insulated and enclosed in an overall plastic sheath.

Carefully remove any overall sheath or split the figure 8 cable to a depth of about 75mm (3”). Carefully

strip the insulation on each wire to a depth of about 12mm (1/2”) exposing the bare core. If the conductor

is stranded, twist the strands together on each conductor.

Unscrew the binding post. There is a cross-hole about 5mm from the panel end

of the binding post. Insert the bared conductor through the hole and tighten the

binding post securely making sure that there are no loose strands or bare ends

protruding through the post.

Carefully observe polarity ensuring that the RED (+) speaker terminal is

connected to the RED (+) amplifier terminal and the BLACK (-) speaker terminal to the

BLACK (-) amplifier terminal.

When both left and right channels are connected to their respective speakers the amplifier is ready for

use.
