Audio Note M Zero Remote Owners manual

1

Congratulations on your purchase of the Audio Note™ M-ZERO Line pre amplifier.
The M-ZERO provides outstanding performance for line level playback systems,

represents excellent value and is of a compact size.
Please read over this manual carefully in order to obtain the best possible performance

and longevity from the M-ZERO.

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
some 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-ZERO. A soft cloth or brush

similar to those sold by photographic stores for lens cleaning applications 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-ZERO should provide about two
years of continuous operation. With three hours of use per day, they should provide a
40,000 hour life span.

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