1 BALANCED 

 

Use the BALANCED analog audio input of the M22 if the external 
source to be connected has BALANCED audio output. Superior 
audio quality is ensured with the distinctive noise reduction 
capability of BALANCED connection with XLR jacks. 

 

With BALANCED as the selected audio input, ensure that the SELECT 
switches for both L (Left) and R (Right) channels of ANALOG AUDIO 
INPUT are set to BALANCED. 

PIN CONFIGURATION OF BALANCED XLR JACK
Pin 1:

 Ground

Pin 2:

 Positive (signal live) 

Pin 3:

 Negative (signal return)

IMPORTANT NOTES

 

Always turn OFF the M22 and other components in the system before 
connecting or disconnecting anything to the BALANCED audio input 
jacks. 

 

Before switching ON the M22 from standby mode for the first time, make 
sure that the volume control of the external source is set to minimum 
level position. This prevents inadvertently beginning a session at 
excessive volume.

2 SINGLE-ENDED

 

Use single-ended analog audio input for sources (preamplifiers or 
processors) that are not equipped with BALANCED analog audio 
output. 

 

With SINGLE-ENDED as the selected audio input, ensure that the 
SELECT switches for both L (Left) and R (Right) channels of ANALOG 
AUDIO INPUT are set to SINGLE-ENDED. 

3 SELECT

 

Use this switch to select the type of analog audio input. 

 

SELECT switch settings 

 

Right position: SINGLE-ENDED input is selected. 

 

Left position: BALANCED input is selected.

4 PROTECT 

 

When the M22 goes to protect mode, the PROTECT LED will turn 
red.

PROTECT MODE

If the PROTECT LEDs turn red, this indicates that the protection circuitry 
of the M22 had been engaged. Immediately press the Standby button, 
turn off Power switch and then unplug the mains power cord from the 
mains power source. Undertake the following

Check if all speaker wires are connected correctly and that none of 
the wires are damaged, causing a short circuit. 

Another cause may be excessive heat build-up inside the amplifier. 
Make sure there is adequate ventilation around the amplifier and 
that none of its ventilation slots, top or bottom are blocked. After 
the M22 has cooled down, it will function normally again. 

Do not attempt to use the M22 if the PROTECT LED or Power 
indicator remained illuminated in red despite the checks mentioned 
above. Bring the M22 to an authorized NAD service center for 
proper inspection, testing and consequent repair if necessary.
