To connect your speakers to the Monolith M8250x amplifier, follow these steps:
1. Prepare eight lengths of speaker wire (not included) to connect each of the eight output channels to its respective speaker.
2. Using a two-conductor speaker wire, connect one end to the input terminals on the speaker, then connect the other end to the Output terminals on the amplifier. Take care to maintain polarity with positive to positive and negative to negative.
3. Repeat step 2 for each of the other seven speakers.
4. Ensure that the Master Power switch is in the OFF position and that the Power Switch is in the Standby position.
5. Using the included AC Power Cable, plug the C19 connector on the cable into the C20 panel connector on the amplifier, then plug the other end into a nearby AC power outlet. Note that each input should be plugged into a different AC circuit.
Warning! Do not plug the amplifier into a switched outlet on a preamplifier or other audio component. The amplifier should be plugged directly into an AC wall outlet.
6. Ensure that the volume on the preamplifier is set to the minimum level.
7. Power on all equipment connected to the amplifier, then flip the Master Power switch on the rear panel to the ON position. Press the Power Switch on the front panel. The LED will illuminate dimly until the circuitry is properly warmed up. Once the LED illuminates brightly, the amplifier has finished the start-up process and is ready for operation.
Note: It is recommended to always turn the amplifier on last and to turn it off first whenever powering your audio system on or off. This ensures that any pops or transient spikes, which could cause damage to the delicate speaker coils, are not sent to your speakers.
Congratulations, your amplifier is connected and ready for use!
