Inside the box of your EDGE M you will receive: EDGE M Monoblock Power Amplifier UK power cord (Depending on which country the EDGE M was purchased in) EU power cord (Depending on which country the EDGE M was purchased in)
Front panel Last updated: 八月 9, 2022 05:03. Revision #5708 1. STANDBY/ON - Switches the unit between Standby mode (indicated by dim LED) and On (indicated by bright LED). Standby mode is a low power mode where the power consumption is less than 0.5 Watts. AUTO POWER DOWN (APD) The product will automatically switch to standby mode after inactivity of 20 minutes.

Connect the wires from your left channel loudspeaker to the left positive and negative terminals and the wires from the right channel loudspeaker to the right positive and negative terminals. In each case, the red terminal is the positive output and the black terminal is the negative output. Care should be taken to ensure no stray strands of wire short the speaker outputs together.
Getting connected Last updated: 八月 9, 2022 05:03. Revision #5710 LOUDSPEAKERS Check the impedance of your speakers. You can use types with an impedance of between 4 and 8 Ohms. The red coloured speaker terminals are positive (+) and the black speaker terminals are negative (-). Make sure the correct polarity is maintained at each speaker connector or the sound can become weak and “phasey”...

BASIC CONNECTIONS Balanced stereo connections: The diagram below shows a basic balanced stereo connection between two EDGE M amplifiers and the EDGE NQ. In this stereo connection each Edge M drives one speaker. The Balanced/Unbalanced switch on the Edge M must be switched to the ‘Balanced’ position.

Unbalanced stereo connections: The diagram below shows a basic unbalanced stereo connection between two EDGE M amplifiers and the EDGE NQ. In this stereo connection each Edge M drives one speaker. The Balanced/Unbalanced switch on the Edge M must be switched to the ‘Unbalanced’ position.
Use the Link wire between two EDGE M amplifiers to synchronise power on/standby. When you turn one EDGE M On/Off, the second EDGE M will also turn On/Off. TRIGGER IN The EDGE M can also be connected to the trigger control output of home automation equipment to control the power state of the EDGE M. The input level should be between 5V and 12V...
If the unit has not fully cooled down then the temperature may reach the limit soon after the amplifier is powered up. EDGE M offers loudspeaker protection if the output of the amplifier goes to a high constant voltage (DC) because of some internal fault. This is a rare fault, although detecting it will protect your loudspeakers from damage.
Troubleshooting Last updated: 八月 9, 2022 05:03. Revision #5713 There is no power Ensure the AC power cord is connected securely. Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the wall socket and is switched on. Check fuse in the mains plug or adaptor. There is no sound Make sure the unit is not in Standby mode.
