It is used for the reproduction of music in the additional rooms in a Multiroom system and can also supply the listener with current information through an additional display. The M219 receives the signals from a selected source (CD, Tuner, Server ...) in the main room through a multiroom bus cable. Volume, balance, bass and treble settings can be made in individually in each room. Also, up to 3 local sources can be connected and listened to in each additional room. If you want "concealed" operation, various wall-mounted controllers or IR receivers can be connected. You should avoid installing it in locations where: - there is direct sunlight - it is next to a heat source - there is poor ventilation - there is a lot of dust in the atmosphere - it is unstable - there is a risk of splashing - there is high humidity Furthermore you may not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, or naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the M219. Stacking several M219s If you want to stack several M219s on top of each other, we recommend that you use the corresponding installation kit, with the Part no. 1.551.313.00. Installation M219 Room-Amplifier The M219 should be installed in such a way that the ventilation slots are not covered up and so that there is a gap of at least 5 cm ( 2 in) between the unit and any walls or furniture.

Housings should not be removed, in order to avoid the danger of an electric shock. Maintenance and repairs should only be carried out by qualified personnel. Installation and operation Please check the unit and accessories for any signs of transit damage, once you have unpacked it. Please read the operating instructions carefully before starting to use the unit. Keep the documentation somewhere safe for future reference. If the unit shows any signs of damage or has come into contact with any fluids should not be connected to a power supply. Only use the power cable supplied. Before connecting the power, the power supply and unit connection values (power voltage, frequency) must be checked. The fuse used in the unit must conform to the factory definitions contained in the "Technical data" section of this manual. This symbol warns of "dangerous voltages" within the unit. In the case of contact with the corresponding components, the level of voltage can cause an electric shock. ! This symbol indicates important advice for operation and maintenance in this documentation. 3 M219 Additional room amplifier M Series Safety measures Operational anomalies In the case of any unusual noises or smells coming from the unit, remove the power cable immediately. Have the unit checked as soon as possible by your supplier. Do not open the unit The unit should not be opened because of the risk of electrocution. Periods of non-use If the unit is not going to be used for a longer period of time, the power cable should be unplugged from the socket as a safety precaution. Foreign objects Fluids, flammables or other foreign objects should not find their way into any of the unit's openings as this can result in breakdowns, fire or an electric shock. Power cable Always pull the plug out of the socket while holding the plug housing and not the cable.

The local audio inputs are activated by the Local key on the (wallmounted) remote control. You can scroll through a loop of the local inputs by repeatedly pressing the Local key: Preamp outputs L/R Using the M219s preamp outputs, additional output devices can be supplied, or the REVOX digital speakers can be operated through the REVOX DLC-2. The configuration of this audio output is described in detail on Page 9. [3] (Local 1 (Local 2) (Local 3) SETUP DIL Setup switches The basic settings of the M219 are configured through these DIL setup switches. The number of active inputs that are actually used can be set through Setup DIL switches 4 & 5. This saves you unnecessary scrolling through non-active inputs. If, for example, only inputs 1 and 2 are used, you can set the switches so that you only have to scroll through Inputs 1 & 2. Input 3 is skipped. 1234 5 678 Important Configuration can only be carried out through the setup switches when the M219 is disconnected from the power supply. Otherwise, the new settings are not activated. The function of each individual switch is described on the next page. 7 M219 Additional room amplifier M Series DIL setup switches NO 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Function M219 IR eye on/off Pre-Out: Fixed Volume LOCAL IN 1 Fixed Volume Factory setting On Off Off On On Off Off Off Number of local inputs Number of local inputs M219 address M219 address M219 address Please note: The switch is in the ON position when it is down You can enter your own personal DIL switch settings in a table included on the last pages of this manual, providing you with a record for future reference. M219 infrared receiver In some cases, e.g. in buildings with glass internal walls, it can be useful to switch the M219 IR receiver off, in order to avoid operational conflicts with other devices. IR Function IR - Off IR - On DIL switch 1 Off On DIL position 1 1 8 M219 Additional room amplifier M Series (2) PRE OUT Two operating modes are possible with the M219's preamp output: Floating Volume (Factory setting from serial # 2000): This is the standard mode setting. In this case, the PRE OUT level changes parallel to the speaker level. This means that as you increase the volume at the speakers, for example, the PRE OUT level is automatically changed at the same time. Application: You should select Floating Volume mode if, for example, and additional output device or an active subwoofer is connected, whose volume should also be controlled by the M219. This means that the M219 speaker output remains active. Fixed Volume: In this mode, the volume control and the M219 output devices are deactivated, i.e. the volume cannot be controlled by any wall-mounted or infrared remote control. The speakers connected to the M219 remain silent. Irrespective of whether it is addressed through the multiroom bus or a local input (Local IN 1 2 3), each source has a standard level, the so-called Line Level. Application: The Fixed Volume mode has been conceived principally for applications where digital REVOX speakers are to be connected to the M219 over a DLC2 interface. PRE OUT Floating Volume Fixed Volume DIL switch 2 Off On DIL position 2 2 9 M219 Additional room amplifier M Series (3) Voltage input IN (from serial # 2000) Using the voltage input IN on the M219, the local audio input LOCAL IN 1 can be activated by the application of 5 ­ 24 VDC. This means that as soon as the voltage is present at IN, the M219 switches on automatically and selects the input LOCAL IN 1. When the voltage is removed from input IN, the M219 switches off again automatically, as long as no other source apart from LOCAL IN 1 was addressed. With DIL switch (3), you can define whether the volume control is handled by the M219 (Floating Volume) or the connected (TV) device (Fixed Volume). With Fixed Volume, the M219's volume control is deactivated and the audio signal at LOCAL IN 1 is transmitted with a fixed strength. In this way, volume control is carried out with the TV remote control. The volume control setting set by DIL switch 3 only has an effect on the local audio input LOCAL IN 1. All other sources are unaffected and operate normally. LOCAL IN 1 Floating Volume Fixed Volume Application: DIL switch 3 Off On DIL position 3 3 Many devices output a voltage as soon as they are switched on. If you connect the voltage output of such a device with the IN voltage input on the M219 and the audio output with the local audio input LOCAL IN 1, the M219 will switch on automatically with the other device and transmit the sound. If your device doesn't have a voltage output, you can supply voltage to the input using a sensor-switch multiple socket outlet (Master/Slave socket outlet) and a normal plug-in power supply (5-24 V= / DC).

On a standard SCART socket, PIN 8 outputs the positive voltage (+) and PIN 4 or 14 is the earth (-). The principle of Master/Slave socket outlets With this type of socket outlets, the control device (the TV in the above example) is plugged into the master socket while all other devices are connected through the slave sockets. As long as the master device is not switched on, all slave sockets remain switched off. Once the master device is switched on, all the slave sockets (the plug-in power supply in the above example) are switched on at the sam ...
