Connections
The M1 Active has been designed to be as sirnple as possible to set up and use.
However, please follow the inskuctions to ensure that you get the best possible
performance from your monitors.
Before connecting the speakens, make sure the power switches of
the Ml Actives and any equipment they will be connected to are
turned OFF.
AC porrer cable
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS IN THE PREVIOUS SECTION OF THIS
MANUAL TO ENSURE SAFE OPERATION OF THESE UNITS. Connect the M1
Actives to the specified power using the AC cables supplied. The AC cables are
removable. If the distance to your AC outlet is longer or shorter than the supplied
cable, you may substitute an approved standard NEMA-Io-CEE power cable of the
correct length, available from most electronics stores.
Grounding
CONNECT THE Ml ACTIVES TO A PROPERTY GROUNDED OUTTET
ONLY. DO NOT USE ADAPTERS WHICH REMOVE THE SAFETY
GROUND PROTECNON OR CUT OFF THE GROUNDING PRONG ON
THE POWER CORD. Proper grounding is essentaal for user safety
and low noise. Il you experience 60-cycle hum in your sound
system a5 a result of different ground potentials between
different units in youl system, plug all units into the same AC
circuit (if the total power load allows) and make sure other devices
in the system are properly grounded themselves. The Ml Active
features balanced inputs, so if it is properly connected to other
balanced units, AC ground potentiab will not affect the audio. lf
you cannot get rid of ground loops, consult a professional
electrician familiar with sound system power designs.
Use clean power
The M1 Active's internal power supply is designed to filter out most AC line noise.
However, it is still good practice to plug your sound equipment into an AC circuit
that is not shared with lighting dimmers, refrigerators, air conditioning units, or
other appliances that may induce noise into the power system.
Power switch
The POWER switch is located on the back panel. A blue power indicator lamp is on
the front panel.
