Congratulations on your purchase of the Audio Note™ M-One Line remote control pre ­amplifier.

The M-One is a component upgraded version of the already well proven and regarded
M-Zero and provides even more outstanding performance for line level playback systems,
representing both excellent value and compact size.

The M-One differs from the M-Zero in the component choices in the power supply and
the signal path, where we have used Black Gate Graphite electrolytic capacitors and
Audio Note™ paper in oil signal capacitors to improve the already fine sound quality of
the M-Zero, otherwise the circuit is the same.

Please read over this manual carefully in order to obtain the best possible performance
and longevity from the M-One.

UNPACKING & INSTALLATION

We recommend that you store the packaging materials in case the unit requires shipping
at a later date. Also, check that no transit damage has occurred before installing the pre
amplifier.

Next, select a suitable location for the unit, ensuring that some ventilation is provided, as
a little heat is generated by the pre amplifier during normal operation.

Worthwhile improvements may be obtained by locating the pre amplifier on a support
system specifically designed to reduce and absorb any vibrations.

AFTER CARE
Cleaning: No special maintenance is required for the M-One. A soft cloth or brush

similar to those sold by photographic stores for cleaning lenses is best used for cleaning.
Use a cloth dampened with a mildly warm, weak soap solution to clean off grease or oily

substances. Strong or alcohol based solvents may damage the finish of this amplifier.

Tube replacement: The vacuum tube used in the M-One should provide about ten
years of continuous operation. With twenty four hours of use per day, they should
provide a 100,000 hour life span.

Audio Note™ has taken considerable care in selecting and matching vacuum tubes
specially for the M-One, and so we recommend that you contact your Audio Note dealer,
who will be able to provide the correct tube should replacement be required.
