Installing and connecting the Micro AMP 2 mkII

The Micro AMP 2 mkII includes a speaker amplifier and a headphone amplifier, each with its own volume control.

Before connecting the unit

• Install the unit in a dry, dust-free room, indoors or in an environment protected from moisture. Do not install it directly against a wall.
• Avoid major heat sources, excessively hot or cold locations, combustion-supporting atmospheres and areas with an explosion risk.
• After significant temperature changes, particularly after transport, allow the unit to reach room temperature before connecting it to prevent damage from condensation.
• Before use, check the condition of the unit, cables and connections. Have damaged components replaced immediately.
• Check that the mains voltage and frequency match the power supply specifications.
• Connect the mains plug last and keep it accessible after installation.
• Disconnect the power supply before any intervention or maintenance. Also disconnect the unit when it is no longer in use.
• Unplug by holding the plug, without pulling on the cable. Avoid leaving cables trailing across the floor.
• Avoid shocks, rough handling and rapidly switching the unit on and off.
• Electrical connections, repairs and maintenance must be carried out by qualified personnel.
• Use original parts and accessories.

Connect the unit

1. Connect the stereo audio source to the RCA line-level input.
2. Connect the speakers to the speaker output terminal blocks, following the markings on the unit.
3. Connect headphones to the 3.5 mm output if required.
4. Connect the 12 V DC power supply.
5. Adjust speaker and headphone volume separately using the front-panel controls.

The speaker and headphone outputs allow you to listen to the same signal, with a separate volume control for each output.

If you use a regulated, filtered power supply or a battery, choose 12 V DC. The DC connector is 2.1 mm / 5.5 mm, centre-positive.
