Mains The M2 Line Balanced Pre Amplifier utilizes an IEC 320 mains inlet
socket. Use the supplied mains cable to connect the unit to the local
mains supply. The mains fuses are located in separate fuse holders,
situated on the rear panel.
Special Note – Make sure that all connections are tight and clean. For
best results use good quality audio interconnects. Although it is
perfectly acceptable to use cables manufactured by other companies,
for best results and performance, we recommend our own Audio Note
(UK) range of interconnects and loudspeaker cables. For further
information, please consult your nearest Audio Note (UK) dealer, or
alternatively please feel free to contact us directly.
