    Negative Speaker Output Balanced Input Installation Once your Stellar M700 amplifier is unpacked, you’ll need to find a convenient place to Considerations set it. We recommend floor mounting on a platform or shelf mounting as close to the speakers as possible. If the source equipment (preamp or DAC) is far away from the M700, it is recommended to use balanced interconnects if possible.
