3 : 4.AC mains supply
The ac Main connection is made via the iEc c13 con-
nector on the rear panel. M Series amplifiers are factory
configured to work either with 115V or 230V ac mains.
Make sure the AC mains voltage used
is within the acceptable operating
voltage range: 115V±10% or 230V ±10%.
It is important to connect the ground
for safety, do not use adapters that
disable the ground connection.
Connection to the mains shall be done
only by a electrotechnical Skilled person
according the national requirements of
the countries where the unit is sold.
