INTRODUCTION
THANK YOU!...
for choosing the Manley Laboratories Studio Standard 350 watt monoblock amplifiers. Designed
around the concept that less is more, the Studio Standard 350 uses the best available parts with the
shortest, cleanest, signal path possible. With the use of our own C.N.C. milling machine, we can
provide you with a superb sounding machine with elegant packaging. Please take a few moments to
read through this manual, there may be features and information about this amplifier that you do not
know, and it is in your, and our here at Manley Labs, best interest that you do.
Thank you again, and please enjoy!
GENERAL NOTES
LOCATION & VENTILATION
The Studio Standard 350 watt monoblocks must be installed in a stable location with ample ventilation.
Allow a minimum of 2 inches of clearance on the top and sides of the amplifier, such that a constant
flow of air can flow throught the ventilation openings. We also recommend that the amplifier if driven
by a preamplifier be placed at least 10 inches apart. Do not place amplifiers directly on high pile carpet
or any other surface that will block the ventilation vents.
WATER & MOISTURE
As with any electrical equipment, this amplifier should not be used near water or moisture. If liquid
enters the amplifier, it must be immediately returned to your deal for servicing.
SERVICING
The user should not attempt to service the amplifier beyond that described in the owner's manual.
Refer all servicing other than biasing and tube replacement to Manley LAboratories
SPECIAL NOTES
Tubes may become loose during transit. Straighten and press down each tube before plugging the
amplifier into the mains socket. Furthermore, NEVER touch the tubes after the amplifier has been
switched on, the tubes become very hot during operation and should only be handled after the power
has been turned off and the tubes have cooled.

MAINS CONNECTIONS
The Manley Laboratories Studio Reference 350 watt monoblocks requires a significant amount of AC
current to operate properly. For best operation, plug the amplifier directly into the wall outlet, avoiding
extension cords and other devices which restrict the current supply to amplifier. If extension cables are
required, be certain that they are high quality, heavy duty (14-12 guage) cables.
Your amplifier has been factory set to the correct mains voltage for your country. The voltage setting
is marked on the serial badge, located on the rear panel. Check that this complies with your local
supply.
Export units for certain markets have a moulded mains plug fitted to comply with local requirements.
If your unit does not have a plug fitted the coloured wires should be connected to the appropriate plug
terminals in accordance with the following code.
GREEN/YELLOW EARTH terminal
BLUE NEUTRAL terminal
BROWN LIVE terminal
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying
the terminals in your plug proceed as follows;
The wire which is coloured GREEN/YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is
marked by the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by
the letter N or coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked by
the letter L or coloured RED.
DO NOT CONNECT/SWITCH ON THE MAINS SUPPLY UNTIL ALL OTHER CONNECĀTIONS HAVE BEEN MADE.
