To eliminate ground loops and noise, it
may be necessary to float the AC grounds
of three M5 amplifiers. Typical installa-
tions use only one M5 connected to the AC
ground. The M6 and one M5 are connected
to the AC ground. Any one M5 can be se-

See the drawing below.
Connections to the amplifiers
Four M5 amplifiers are required. Two are used for the Left channel, two are
used for the Right channel.
Connect the Outputs of the M5 amplifiers to the M1 speaker as shown on
