Thank you for purchasing the Audiolab M-PWR. We, at Audiolab, have spent
hundreds of hours perfecting the design of this unit so that you can enjoy hi-fi
music in your home.

M-PWR is primarily designed to match with Audiolab M-DAC or Q-DAC, but
is equally suitable for partnering with Audiolab 8200 CDQ using its in-built
preamplifier.

Of course M-PWR can also be used in any hi-fi system where the source unit
includes volume control. For example it can be connected to a pre-amplifier or
control unit fed from a variety of sources.

By providing both Balanced and line inputs, M-PWR is an extremely versatile
stereo power amplifier. If you already own the Audiolab M-DAC/Q-DAC or
8200 CDQ you will find that the Balanced connections bring a new level of
fidelity and detail to your listening.

Whatever source you choose, M-PWR will drive your loudspeakers with a
unique combination of power and finesse that we hope will bring you many
hours of listening pleasure.
