5. Connecting and Powering the Unit

WARNING: All connections between the YOUNG MKIII and other equipment must be
made when all units are turned off and completely powered down or unplugged.
Failing to do so may cause damage to the YOUNG MKIII and/or other units.
Please refer to chapter 3, "Back Panel".
Connect the digital sources (CD/SACD/DVD player, satellite receiver, DAB receiver) and
®
the analogue source to the inputs (Figure 2, 7-11). The Bluetooth connection will be done
after powering the unit.
Connect your computer to the YOUNG MKIII USB input (Figure 2, 11).
If you want to use the YOUNG MKIII as a preamplifier, connect the analog outputs to the
inputs of a power amplifier; otherwise connect the outputs to a pair of inputs on an
integrated amplifier or preamplifier (Figure 2, 6).
Connect the trigger output (Figure 2, 15) of the YOUNG M III to the trigger input of any
K
which you want to power subsequently to the YOUNG MKIII turn-on.

NOTE: whenever the YOUNG MKIII is used as a preamplifier, it is a good habit to
switch the power amplifier on after switching the YOUNG MKIII on, and to switch the
power amplifier off before switching the YOUNG MKIII off. This may be accomplished
by using the YOUNG MKIII trigger output.
NOTE: it is possible to use a dedicated low noise power supply in place of the wall
wart, to increase the sonic performance M2Tech provides a device for this purpose,
the Van Der Graaf M II. Should the user opt for use of a non-M2Tech power supply,
k
M2Tech reserves the right to void the YOUNG MKIII warranty.
