SPEAKER TERMINALS

The M-380 amplifier accepts speaker cables terminated with spade 
connectors and 4mm banana plugs.

To connect speaker wires terminated with spades, loosen the isolation knob 
and insert the spade between the isolator and copper terminal. Tighten the 
isolation knob to secure the spade.

To connect speaker wires terminated with banana plugs, insert the banana 
plug into the centre hole of the copper terminal.

The positive speaker terminal is white, and the negative is black.

LINE INPUTS

The M-380 amplifier is equipped with an unbalanced (RCA) and a balanced 

(XLR) line input. Only one input type can be used at a time, and no cable 
can be connected to the unused input.

XLR pin-out:
1: Ground
2: + (non-inverting)
3: - (inverting)

TRIGGER INPUT

Connect the trigger input to the trigger output of the preamp, to get remote 
controlled power on/off switching. When the amplifier is in standby mode, it 
can be switched on by applying 5-15VDC to the trigger input. The amplifier 
switches off again, when the trigger voltage is removed.

RS-232

The RS-232 connection is used for firmware updates, or for remote control.

POWER ON/OFF SWITCH

Toggle the switch to turn the amplifier fully on or fully off.

When the amplifier is in standby mode, the power consumption is less than 
0.5 watt. When the amplifier is fully on and there is no applied signal, the 
power consumption is less than 100 watts.

POWER INLET (CAUTION!)

The M-380 amplifier accepts mains voltages from 100 to 240VAC 50-60Hz. 
The power inlet accepts power cables with an IEC 60320-C13 female 
connector.

To ensure the best performance, please consult your Aavik Acoustics dealer 
for a suitable mains cable.
