low noise ac connection

To eliminate ground loops and noise, it

may be necessary to float the AC grounds

of three M5 amplifiers. Typical installa-

tions use only one M5 connected to the AC

ground. The M6 and one M5 are connected

to the AC ground. Any one M5 can be se-

lected for connection to the AC ground.

See the drawing below.

Connections to the amplifiers

Four M5 amplifiers are required. Two are used for the Left channel, two are

used for the Right channel.

Connect the Outputs of the M5 amplifiers to the M1 speaker as shown on

the drawing.

Connect the Main Outputs of the M6 preamplifier to the Inputs of the M5

amplifiers as shown on the drawing.

Connect the M5 amplifiers as shown on the drawing.

Note: Set the front panel attenuator controls of the M5 HPF to -2 dB.

Set the M5 LPF attenuator control to 0 dB.
