CH M10 - Outputs; AC Power

M10 User Manual 13
2.6.6 Outputs
The M10 is equipped with two pairs of binding posts – blue and black on the left channel (right side as seen
from behind): red and black on the right channel (left side as seen from the back). In stereo or bi-amp modes,
red and blue are the positive connections, black the negative connections.
Consult the system topology diagrams and identify which layout your system corresponds to. Then carefully
connect your speaker cables as shown in the illustrations. Note that for bridged operation, you will connect
a single speaker cable to the red and blue terminals only. In this mode the red terminal is connected to the
positive terminal on the speaker, the blue to the negative.
Make sure to properly tighten your speaker cable terminals, both at the amplier end and at the speaker
end. This is especially true if you use heavy cables with spades terminals, whose weight tend to create a
lot of tension at the sensitive connection point. This will both ensure optimal power transmission and avoid
accidents if a speaker cable end disconnects from the binding post and touches a metallic surface that allows
a return path for the current ow. If the speaker cable features a bulky metallic part, even anodized, double
check that this part cannot touch the amplier’s back nor the speaker’s enclosure.
2.6.7 AC Power
With all the signal inputs and outputs connected, you can now connect the two 20A IEC power cords to the
input sockets on the M10 power supply and switch the units on. You should see the red bar in the CH logo in
the top-left corner of each front panel illuminate.
Your M10 is now in standby mode and ready to be turned on and congured.
