[. . . ] The M-2b meets this challenge exceptionally well. Before connecting power to the M-2b, assure that the rear panel voltage selection fuse block switch is set correctly. In the USA, the M-2b is shipped with the voltage selection block set to 100-120 VAC. At this voltage setting, a pair of 1 amp 5 x 20 mm slow blow fuses have been factory installed. If you change the voltage selection block to 200-240 VAC usage, be sure to change both fuses to 500 milliamp (0. 5 amp) slow blow types. The M-2b enclosure measures 19" wide x 3. 5" high x 13. 75" deep and is designed for mounting into a standard 2U, 19" equipment rack. If the M-2b is mounted into a road case or other rack which is prone to strong vibration or shock, it is recommended that the rear of the M-2b be supported or otherwise reinforced to withstand such conditions. To assure proper air circulation and operation, leave at least one rack screw space open above the M-2b chassis. The M-2b is designed on a common ground topology. For high quality operation, and for your own safety and the safety of others, do not defeat the purpose of the earth grounding pin on the A/C power cord! NOTE: The M-2b is based on pure Class-A all vacuum tube design. Such topology performs best after reaching a stable, warmed-up condition. All M-2b factory adjustments have been performed when unit is fully warmed-up; at least one-half hour after turning unit on. It is recommended that to achieve optimal sonic performance with the M-2b, allow a warm-up period of at least one-half hour. M-2b 4 M-2b REAR PANEL (1) CONVENTIONAL (+48V) INPUTS "In 1 (Left), In 2 (Right)" Conventional 3-pin female XLR input jacks for all balanced microphones. Pin 1 is chassis ground, pin 2 is positive phase audio signal, pin 3 is negative phase audio signal. Input impedance is 3, 800 ohms. (2) DPA (B&K) HIGH VOLTAGE (+130V) INPUTS -- optional Conventional 4-pin female XLR input jacks for use only with B&K 4000-series high voltage audio microphones. Pin 1 is chassis ground, pin 2 is unused, pin 3 is +130VDC, pin 4 is audio signal. Input impedance is 9, 000 ohms. (3) OUTPUTS "Out 1 (Left), Out 2 (Right)" Conventional 3-pin male XLR unbalanced outputs. Pin 1 is chassis ground, pin 2 is positive phase audio signal, and pin 3 is audio ground. Output impedance is 120 ohms. (4) EARTH/AUDIO GROUND JUMPER A barrier terminal which ties earth ground to audio ground. If ground "hum" loops are experienced when using the M-2b, removing this jumper may help. Removing this jumper will not compromise chassis/earth ground integrity. (5) AC VOLTAGE MAINS SELECTION "100-120" or "200-240" A power entry module with a removable fuse holder block. This fuse holder block is selectable for 100 to 120 Volt or 200 to 240 Volt worldwide mains powering.
