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.

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 room amplifier Re:connect 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 room amplifier Re:connect (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 room amplifier Re:connect (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 same time. In this way, you can "upgrade" any type of device to give it a switchingvoltage output. 11 Slave Slave Slave Audio Local (audio)-source OUT e.g. SAT-receiver 5-24V OUT DC Master switching-voltage output M219 room amplifier Re:connect M219 local inputs See description: [1] Number of local inputs 0 1 2 3 LOCAL IN 1 2 3 DIL switch 4 Off Off On On DIL switch 5 Off On Off On DIL position 45 45 45 45 M219 addressing If you want to control each M219 individually, to use the alarm function of the M51 Timer, for example, it is necessary to assign each M219 its own address. The maximum number of M219s is limited to 8 per zone. All M219s must have different addresses within one zone as otherwise there may be communication problems. The revisal of a correct addressing is made in the Setup menu of the M51, category Multiroom / Version. All attached devices (M219 and/or M217) must be listed in the respective zone.

Connection is made using a straight through (not crossed), 4-core telephone cable with an RJ11 plug (6P4C-Modular) connected to the M219 LINK socket. [5] IR-LINK Connection for IR receiver or wall-mounted remote control If it is not possible or not required that the M219 is controlled directly with a remote control, a wall-mounted remote controller (e.g. M218) or and external IR eye (MR-204) can be connected to the IR-LINK connector. Connection to the IR receiver or the wall-mounted remote controller is made using a screwable Phoenix plug connector. REVOX recommends the use of a 3-core, screened cable* (microphone cable), where the screening is used as an earth. This cable may not be longer than 40 meters. Please refer to the label for the correct cabling: GND A B VCC Front view of RJ11 Connector + IN - Positive feed - VCC IR Signal Data Earth GND the maximum number of IR receivers per M219 is 5. * Comment A 3-core cable with screening is recommended. In this case, no further cable would be necessary if you added an additional display at a later stage. IR commands The M219 accepts all RC5 or RC6 commands and carries out those that are intended for it. All others are transferred on to the Multiroom central unit. 13 M219 room amplifier Re:connect [6] IN Voltage input (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 automatically to LOCAL IN 1, irrespective of which source had been selected previously. For further information please refer to DIL switch (3) / Page 10. Please note: The voltage input IN is galvanically isolated from the M219 with a high-resistance (10k) optical coupler. This stops any disturbances from either side having any effect. [7] CHANNEL SELECT Stereo/ Mono switch Using the Channel Select switch, you can adjust the operating mode of the two music (stereo) channels, to the requirements of the room where the M219 is installed. Three operating modes are available: 1) Stereo The left music channel is reproduces through the left speaker connector and the right channel through the right connector. Inverse stereo After installation, it can occur that the left and right speaker connections have been inverted or that the sound picture is not correct for the normal listening position. In this case, a quick solution is offered with the Inverse stereo operating mode, which inverse the assignment of the left and right speaker connectors. Mono If only one speaker is connected to the M219, or if the M219 is controlling two speakers, each in a different room, you should select the Mono operating mode. This means that each speaker receives all the music information. 2) 3) The configuration of the Channel Select switches is described on the next page. 14 M219 room amplifier Re:connect [7] CHANNEL SELECT Configuration Operating mode Stereo Inverse Stereo Mono DIL- 1 Switch On Off On DIL- 2 Switch Off On On DIL- 3 Switch Off On On DIL- 4 Switch Right channel On Off On DIL Position Left channel 12 34 12 34 12 34 You can change the switch settings during operation if the volume level is turned down low.

Multiroom Bus input Connection of the REVOX Multiroom Bus cable, which is connected to the Multiroom central unit e.g. M51 MR Module MKII. Connection is made using a screened and uncrossed RJ45 cable. 15 M219 room amplifier Re:connect [10] R ­ L SPEAKERS Speaker connection Always use a cable of a sufficient diameter for connecting your speakers to the M219. REVOX recommends: 2 up to 15 m: Ø 1.50 mm 2 up to 30 m: Ø 2.50 mm 2 over 30 m: Ø 4.00 mm We recommend not to use cables longer than 50, due to the unavoidable loss of HiFi reproduction. Each individual speaker must have an impedance of 4 or higher. You must ensure that all cable strands are within the screwable Phoenix connector and that none of them come into contact with any adjacent connectors or the M219 housing. You will only be assured of a perfect stage-quality reproduction if you ensure correct polarity when connecting. A wrong polarity will not cause any damage to the speaker or to the M219, but it can result in imprecise and diffused reproduction that is weak in the base ranges. [11] Fuse FUSE ! Always power the unit down before replacing the fuse. When replacing the fuse, always one of the same type as shown on the M219 rating label. Other fuse types with different power, voltage or operational characteristics can endanger your life and damage the unit. The fuse holder can be removed by pushing it in slightly and then turning it in the direction of the arrow. [12] AC-POWER Power connection ! Only use the REVOX power cable supplied. You must also ensure that the power supply used delivers the voltage as shown on the M219 rating label (240V). If required, the M219 can be modified to work with other voltages. This modification should only be carried out by an authorised specialist. 16 M219 Cabling plan diagram M217 Wall Display REVOX TUNER CD SERVER AUX2 M218 Keypad FM Tuner M218 Wall Display TUNER CD SERVER AUX2 < > LOCAL SWR3 < LO CAL > MR204 IR-Receiver Further IR-Module Timer VOL + OFF Menu M219 room amplifier - VOL + OFF Switching voltage 5-24V OUT DC + Loudspeaker z.B.
