Instructions for use
Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity M6si 500 dual mono integrated amplifier.
The M6si 500 is designed to be partnered with present and future M6 series products. Featuring no less than
four power amplifiers (based on our TiTAN design), bridged to create two monoblock 500 watt power amplifiers,
a very high powered integrated amplifier solution is realised, allowing reproduction of the type of musical
transients most other integrated amplifiers could never supply.
The preamplifier section features a precision lase
remain rock-steady even as the volume is changed, allowing pinpoint accuracy and precise reconstruction of
the original musical experience, at any volume setting. A 7-segment LED display shows the setting down to
each individual ½ -dB step of the attenuator.
Four RCA line inputs cater for a variety of musical sources, all labelled for convenience. Provision is also made
for an XLR balanced input to take full advantage of sources with fully balanced
This combination yields one of the best high-fidelity systems available at any price.
Used properly and carefully, it should give many years of outstanding musical reproduction.
Dust regularly with a soft duster or soft brush, but be careful when using cleaning or polishing agents - they may
harm the surface finish. If there are any questions about the audio system, please consult the dealer who is
there to help and advise.

GENERAL ADVICE
Installation, Precautions & User Information
This new M6si 500 is designed and built to provide trouble-free performance, but as with all electronic devices it
is necessary to observe a few precautions:
This unit features a BRIDGED speaker output and should NOT be grounded on either speaker output
terminal as both terminals are effectively “hot”, i.e. carrying high current signals. Please check if using
any active “sub”, electrostatic, or other non standard speaker types or configurations (that could be
potentially grounded) with the M6si 500. Take special care when bi-amping or bi-wiring that the speaker

manual or manufacturer, if there is any doubt.
Heed all warnings shown on the back of the product.
Only connect the M6si 500 to a mains outlet having the same voltage as marked at the back of the unit.
Always ensure that when disconnecting and reconnecting your audio equipment the mains supply is
switched off.
Position the mains lead and signal interconnects where they are not likely to be walked on or trapped by
items placed on them.
Do not use near water, or place water-filled containers on the M6si 500, for example, a flower vase or
potted plants. If water does spill inside, immediately pull out the mains plug from the wall socket
and inform your dealer, who should then check the unit before further use. Entry of liquid into
the M6si 500 is dangerous, and may cause electric shock or fire hazard.
cy elements are completely
isolated before switching on power. Consult speaker
Do not place the unit near direct heat sources such as radiators, direct sunlight or other equipment.
Do not remove any covers or try to gain access to the inside. There are no internal adjustments or fuses
you can replace yourself. Refer all service work to an authorised Musical Fidelity agent.
* Note: Unauthorised opening of the equipment will invalidate any warranty claim.
Dust regularly with a soft cloth or soft brush but be careful when using cleaning or polishing agents they may harm the surface finish.
The electronics in modern hi-fi equipment is complex and may, therefore, be adversely affected or damaged by
lightning. For protection of the audio system during electrical storms, remove the mains plugs.
If after-sales service is required, to help the dealer identify the M6si 500 please quote the serial number
