Rogue Audio M-120 - Manual (Page 7)

OPERATING YOUR AMPLIFIER
1) Powering up the system - First turn on the amplifier by pushing in
the “power” button. The red LED will light after several seconds
after which the unit is ready for use. Always turn on the
preamplifier in the system before the power amplifier and source
materials, and always turn off the power amplifier first
2) Breaking in the amplifier - As with many high-quality audio
amplifiers, the sound of the Rogue M-120 amplifier will improve
during the first few hours of use. This time is required for
components to “burn in.” No special techniques are required
other than standard operation.
3) Switching between ultralinear and triode operation - An
important feature of the M-120 monoblocks is that they can be
configured for operation in either triode or ultralinear mode. In
triode operation the amplifier will produce somewhat less power
but may offer a more appealing sound with some speaker/room
combinations. To switch operating modes, there is a switch on
the rear panel of each monoblock. If the amp is not switched off
a small and harmless switching noise will be heard when
switching from ultralinear to triode.
5) Matching Speaker Impedance - The Rogue M-120 provides
separate binding posts positions for both 4 ohm and 8 ohm
speakers, as shown in Figure 4. The impedance selected will
depend on the speakers used. Consult either the owner’s
manual for your speaker or your local dealer for the correct
choice.
