Because the REF500M runs cool, it can be placed in many system locations without compromise. We do not recommend placing weights or other objects directly on the REF500M. This may scratch or mar the chassis finish. Do not use harsh chemicals when cleaning the outside of your REF500M. IMPORTANT! Make all connections before powering your unit! The e.One Series REF500M is a mono audio amplifier designed to deliver over 250 watts into 8 ohm loads and 500 watts into 4 ohm loads.
Rear Panel Connections Never Connect Either the Positive or Negative Speaker Output to Any Ground Contact! Use Class 2 Wiring for all Loudspeaker Connections! Connecting any Speaker Output on the REF500M to Ground will cause the amplifier to go into protection and could damage the amplifier and void the warranty. 1) Power Switch: Power is on when the switch is toggled to the I position and off in the O position.
• In case there is hum or ground noise, check that the RCA/XLR switch is in the correct position for the type of connection being used. • Ensure that the preamplifier or any source components are not producing hum by setting the preamplifier to a MUTE or Standby setting. • The design of the REF500M reduces the chance for ground loop induced hum, but we still recommend using shorter interconnect cables to the preamplifier.
