Revision MA2005-7 M16 Microphone Amplifier
1 Important Safety Instructions
1.1 Mains Cable
The supplied IEC mains cable must be correctly terminated before
use. Use only an approved AC plug or power distribution device.
Safety ground must be connected at all times.
Safety Earth = Green/Yellow
Live = Brown
Neutral = Blue
1.2 Changing the fuse
To avoid the risk of fire, use only the recommended fuse type as in-
dicated in this manual and on the M16. Do not short-circuit the fuse
holder.
Before changing the fuse, always switch off the unit and remove the
IEC mains cable.
NOTE: Both Live and Neutral are fused, therefore the M16 fuse
holder contains TWO fuses. Do not make the mistake of think-
ing that one is a spare!
To replace a fuse, remove the fuse holder (located adjacent to the
IEC mains socket) by pulling the tab that projects slightly over the lip
of the socket.

Replace the blown fuse with an identical type. See Fuse Types be-
low for further details.
Refit the fuse holder, taking care to align it properly. The guide arm
of the fuse holder slots into the power connector assembly.
Once in place, push the fuse holder home and confirm that it is fully
seated.
