INITIAL OPERATION
• Place the MA 800 on an even surface. Observe the relevant clearance gaps as specified under
"Important safety instructions".
IMPORTANT: Do not place any objects on top of the device (magazines, CD/record cases, etc.).
The ventilation slots located on top of the device must be unobstructed at all times!
• Connect your speakers:
Single Wiring:
The stereo speakers (impedance of 4 to 8 ohms) are connected to the rear as follows:
Only use high-quality audio speaker cables with a conductor cross section of min. 1.5 - 2.5 mm².
Strip approx. 10 mm from the cables and twist the ends. Loosen the terminal screws one after the
other and insert the stripped ends into the holes. Re-tighten the terminal screws. Make sure you
pay attention to the correct polarity.
You can also use prefabricated cables with 4mm banana plugs or forked fittings.
Bi Wiring:
The MA 800 offers the opportunity to operate speakers in a bi-wiring mode by using a second
terminal pair. This means that the woofer and tweeter elements of the speaker are connected to
the amplifier with separate cables.
Also observe the operating instructions for the speakers you are using.
