T+A M 200, User Manual

Installation and wiring

Installation

Carefully unpack the unit and store the original packing material carefully. The carton and packing are 
specially designed for this unit and will be needed again if you wish to move the equipment at any time. 
Install the unit in a suitable location. Please observe all information on connection and installation in 
chapter 

Safety notes

 on pages 26 and 27. 

Connecting a preamplifier

Connect the right preamp output to the M 200 which drives the right speaker and the left preamp output 
to the M 200 for the left speaker. Depending on the preamp used, the connection can be made either via 
IN 1 (balanced - XLR) or IN 2 (unbalanced - Cinch/RCA) of the M 200. Only one type of connection (balan-
ced XLR or unbalanced RCA) can be used at a time. The unused input must be left free. If both types of 
connection are available at the preamplifier, for maximum sound quality, we recommend the balanced 
XLR connection.



When connecting the DAC 200, please make sure that the volume control of the DAC 200 is enabled and 

the volume is set to a low value. Otherwise, connected speakers may be damaged.

Connecting loudspeakers

Two loudspeakers can be connected to the amplifier (SPEAKER 



 A and SPEAKER 



 B). 

The load capacity of the loudspeakers connected to the device must be appropriate to the amplifier. 
When connecting only 

one

 loudspeaker, the speaker impedance must be at least 4 ohms (DIN rating). 

When connecting 

two

 loudspeakers, the impedance must be at least 8 ohms per loudspeaker. The spea-

ker cables and connectors must be insulated in accordance with regulations, and the conductors must 
have a minimum cross-sectional area of 1.5 mm². 
Connect the red terminal marked „+“ to the terminal marked „+“ on the speaker and the black terminal 
marked „-“ corresponding to the „-“ terminal on the loudspeaker. Screw the terminals tight and make sure 
that there are no short-circuits.
Also make sure that the left output of the M 200 is connected to the left speaker and the right output to 
the right speaker.



When connecting loudspeakers with less than 4 ohms impedance or two loudspeakers with less than 8 

ohms impedance per loudspeaker, the high currents in the power amplifiers may cause their overheating 

during prolonged operation at high volume, and the protection circuit will then automatically switch off 

the loudspeaker outputs or the entire device.

j

Screw the speaker terminals hand-tight, do not use pliers or similar.

Series 200 - system link

If the M 200 is used in combination with a DAC 200, the M 200 can be switched on and off comfortably 
and without time delay via the E2-Link system bus. For this purpose, connect the E2-Link sockets with 
the supplied bus cable.
