INSTALLATION

Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of the new M8 500S power amplifier. Great attention has been paid to internal

layout, isolating each circuit section to prevent possible interaction.

The unit features two monoblock high current bridged amplifiers with generous supplies for the absolute best in

transients and dynamics. With their high output current rating, these are enough to drive even the most

demanding loudspeakers with ease. Low distortion and very quiet they will deliver all music types exactly as the

artist originally intended. The resultant performance achieved by this unit is among the best in the world. It has

excellent signal to noise ratio, low distortion, wide bandwidth and dynamic range, with extraordinary resolution

and fine detail.

Cleaning

Before cleaning the unit, switch off power at the mains switch and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.

Clean the cabinet and remote control unit using a moist cloth. Using solvents, white spirit or thinners is not

advised, as they could damage the surface finish.

Installation

Position the M8 500S on a stable, horizontal surface where there is no risk of it being knocked, or subjected to

vibration such as from loudspeakers.

Important note:

In normal operation, the unit dissipates a significant quantity of power at all times, and it is

important that it is adequately ventilated. The top and bottom are ventilated to allow the smooth

flow of heat through the unit. It is therefore not recommended that the unit is enclosed in a

cabinet or placed where the ventilation holes are impeded as this could result in excessive heat

build-up.

The M8 500S must be protected from humidity – if the unit is moved from a cold place to a warm

room, leave the unit for an hour or so to allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate.

Power Connections

The M8 500S is supplied with a standard IEC mains cable which plugs into the IEC socket at the back of the

unit (see page 7)

Audio Connections

XLR Inputs: Connect any XLR balanced source to balanced analogue inputs (see page 7 for more information).

Use good quality fully connected (signals and ground) balanced XLR cables for all XLR signal connections.

The balanced input and outputs sockets are fully balanced, i.e. there is signal on both hot and cold signal

terminals. Please ensure for maximum benefit, that any balanced leads used with this product are fully

connected both ends and that the cold lead is separate from ground connection. Consult lead manufacturer if

there is any doubt.

RCA Inputs: Connect RCA single-ended source to relevant analogue inputs (see page 7 for more information).

Use good quality fully connected (signal and ground) coaxial phono cables for all RCA signal connections.

SPEAKER OUTPUTS: Connect loudspeaker(s) to the terminals on the back panel marked as SPEAKER

OUTPUTS. Take care no short circuits can occur and all connections are firm and stable.

LOOP OUT: loop outputs (XLR and RCA) allow the input signals to be passed on to a second amplifier, or other

component. This is useful for example, for bi-amping.

Cables note: Musical Fidelity does not make any interconnecting cables, nor do we endorse any particular third-

party manufacturer’s cables. If advice is required, please refer to the Musical Fidelity or other local Hi-Fi dealer

who can demonstrate suitable quality cable(s) for any particular setup.

Trigger connections

Trigger input: Connect trigger output of controlling device to input socket. Use good quality 3.5mm jack cables

(fully connected signal and ground) Unit accepts ±4 to ±15V DC trigger inputs. The M8 500S can then be

switched on or off by remote device(s) connected to its trigger input.

Trigger output: Connect trigger input of controlling device to output socket. Use good quality 3.5mm jack

cables (fully connected signal and ground). The M8 500S PWR then becomes the main controlling device and

its power button will automatically switch on/off all devices thus connected to the trigger output.
