Installation - Manley Stereo Variable MU Owner's Manual

Please refer to the REAR PANEL section for a full layout of the rear panel of your Man-
ley Stereo Variable Mu
1. Make sure your mains voltage supply agrees with the voltage this unit is set for.
2. Be certain that the unit has the proper fuse installed.
3. Connect the input signal(s) to the 3 pin female XLR's on the rear panel. The
input XLR's are TRANSFORMER COUPLED balanced wired as follows:
PIN 1: GROUND
PIN 2: (+) POSITIVE GOING PHASE
PIN 3: ( - ) NEGATIVE GOING PHASE
4. Connect a 3 pin XLR cable to the male output XLR on the rear panel. The out-
put XLR is balanced and the pinout is wired as follows:
PIN 1: GROUND
PIN 2: (+) POSITIVE GOING PHASE
PIN 3: ( - ) NEGATIVE GOING PHASE
The output impedance is 600 Ohms nominal.
5. Connect a standard IEC mains cable to the IEC mains socket on the rear panel.
6. Check that the power is switched off on the unit.
7. Connect the IEC mains cable to a 50/60 Hz AC source of the proper selected volt-
age.
8. Power up the unit and allow it enough time to stabilize before using . it takes about
30 minutes for everything to stabilize and for it to warm up and sound its best.
Again, let us remind you: this unit runs pretty hot. We definitely encourage allowing
enough space around the chassis so that convection of air can occur and heat can be drawn
away from the unit. If the heat gets all trapped with no place to go, you'll just bake up the
guts of the unit faster and you'll be in for a re-cap years sooner than if you had some ventila-
tion happening. Try to give the Variable Mu
flow up and away from it.
If you wish to keep pizzas warm on top of the Manley Variable Mu
so the cheese does not drip down through the top cover holes into the unit. Your Warranty
does not cover damage arising from foreign (or domestic) dairy substances entering the unit.
*NOTE: As of 03/2012, units are shipping with hole plugs covering the ADJUST trimmers to discourage
inadvertent un-calibrating of the triode-to-triode balance.
