User Manual

SPEAKER CABLE: We recommend using a speaker cable between the 5MM
and speaker cabinet as you would with any power amplifier, though you can get
away with using an instrument cable if in a pinch. The impedance of the speaker
cabinet must be rated between 8  and 16  ( = ohms). 8  is the ideal load
for the 5MM. Additionally the speaker cabinet must have a power rating equal to
or greater than the 5MM’s output power capability. We recommend a speaker
cabinet with at least a 10W rating.
POWER UP WARNING: Make sure the 5MM’s output is connected to a speaker
cabinet before applying power.
9VDC/500mA POWER Jack – Connect the output plug from the 5MM’s
supplied power supply to the power jack at the top of the unit. We highly
recommend using the power supply that the 5MM was supplied with. The polarity
of the power jack is center-negative.
- WARNINGS (PLEASE READ!!!) -
THE 5MM IS A POWER AMP, NOT AN EFFECTS PEDAL: Connect the output
of the 5MM to a speaker cabinet only. DO NOT CONNECT THE OUTPUT OF THE
5MM TO THE INPUT OF ANOTHER AMPLIFIER, EFFECTS PEDAL, MIXER,
COMPUTER, COMPUTER INTERFACE or similar device.
SPEAKER CABINET: Only plug the output of the 5MM into a speaker cabinet
rated for an impedance in the range of 8  to 16  (8 to 16 ohms); the speaker
cabinet power rating should be 10W or greater.
OUTPUT FIRST THEN POWER: Connect the output of the 5MM to a proper
speaker cabinet before applying power to the 5MM. If you connect the 5MM to a
speaker cabinet while it is powered up, the 5MM may automatically mute its
output to prevent a short circuit on the output jack. In this situation simply
remove power from the 5MM, wait a few seconds and then re-apply power to the
5MM, it should work normally.
