2.2 Wiring
This device must be powered exclusively by earth con-
nected mains sockets in electrical networks compliant to the IEC 364 or similar rules. It is absolutely necessary to verify this fundamental requirement of safety and, in case of doubt, require an accurate check by qualified personnel.
OUTLINE cannot be considered responsible for eventual damages caused to persons, things or data due to an improper or missing ground connection.
u Before powering this amplifier, verify that the correct voltage
rating is being used.
u Verify that your mains connection is capable of satisfying the
power ratings of the device.
u Do not use this amplilfier if the electrical power cord is frayed
or broken.
u Do not remove the cover. Failing to do so will expose you to
potentially dangerous voltage.
u Provide a sectioning breaker between the mains connections
and the amplifier. The suggested device is a 16A/250V AC, C or D curve, 10 kA.
u Switching mode amplifier is capable of producing hazardous
output voltages. To avoid electrical shock, do not touch any exposed speaker wiring while the amplifier is operating.
2.3 Speaker damage
Outline switching mode amplifiers are among the most
powerful professional amplifiers available and are capable of producing much more power than many loudspeakers can han­dle. It is the user’s responsibility to use speakers suitable to the amplifier and to use them in a sensible way that will not cause damage.
Outline will not be held responsible for damaged speakers. Consult the speaker manufacturer for power handling recom­mendations.
Even if you reduce the output volume using the amplifier’s front panel attenuation controls, it is still possible to reach full output power if the input signal level is high enough.
A single high-power tone can damage high frequency drivers almost instantaneously, while low frequency drivers can usually withstand very high, continuous power levels for a few seconds before they fail. Reduce power immediately if you hear any speaker “bottoming out”: harsh pops or cracking distor tion that indicate that the speaker voice coil or diaphragm is striking the magnet assembly.
Outline recommends that you use amplifiers in this power range for more headroom (cleaner sound) rather than for in­creased volume.
This manual contains important information on operating your Outline amplifier correctly and safely. Please read it carefully before operating your amplifier. If you have any questions, con­tact your Outline dealer.

5 Welcome
Congratulations on buying a Outline M5000-4 amplifier! Outline is a leading company in the field of high efficiency audio powe r management. The Outline Class D technolog y has changed the way the world looks at professional audio amplification: no other amplifier’s performance comes close for applications demanding high power and long term reliability. Thanks to amazing reductions in heat output and weight, without sacrificing output powers, Outline amplifiers can be used in an unlimited range of PA applications such as opera houses, theaters, churches, cinema, and theme parks.
applications. This amplifier offer smaller dimensions, lighter weight and the traditionally amazing sound quality and reliability of all Outline products. M5000-4 amplifier have power ratings suitable for a vast range of common applications including 70V/100V distributed line systems
M5000-4 amplifier is specifically designed for touring and live
6.1 More sound and less weight
Switching mode technology based amplifiers are highly efficient, delivering greater power to speakers with reduced heat dissipation: typical running efficiency of output stages is 95%, with only 5% of input energy dissipated as heat. This allows for smaller dimensions, weight and power consumptions.
Contrary to conventional amplifiers which achieve highest efficiency only at full rated power output, Class D efficiency is almost independent of output level. Music has an average power density of 40% of its peak value; this means that other (non­class D) amplifiers can easily generate 10 times more heat than Outline products for the same sound pressure level.
The M5000-4 amplifier is designed to work with lo-Z (from 4 ) and with 70V/100V distributed lines. It can deliver up to
1250 W per channel (at 4 or 250 0 W in bridge mode on 8 . Ω)
Outline amplifiers deliver crystal-clear highs, and a tight, well-defined low end: the most accurate reproduction of an audio signal. Solid time proven design features ensure extremely high performance in terms of super low total harmonic distor tion, optimal frequency response, high power bandwidth and damping factor across a vast number of application scenarios.
Multi patented application of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) high frequency sampling techniques is just one of the many factors contributing to the M5000-4 high performance ratings across the audio bandwidth.
The M5000-4 offers complete protection against any possible operation error. It is designed to work under a large range of possible conditions, delivering maximum power with maximum sa fet y and an outs tand ing lon g ter m rel iab ilit y. A nti cipa tin g potential problems at the design stage means your show always goes on!
7.1 Unpacking
Carefully open the shipping car ton and check for any noticeable damage; the FIGU RE 4 shows the packing view.

7.2 Mounting
All Outline amplifiers are designed for s tandard 19” r ack mounting with four front panel holes and two rear-lateral holes. In order to limit the risk of mechanical damages, amplifiers must be fixed to the rack using both frontal as well as rear mounting holes (see FIGURE 9).
7.3 Cooling
All Outline amplifier s implement a forced-air cooling system to maintain low and constant operating temperatures. Drawn by an internal fan, air enters through the slots in the front panel and is forced over all components, exiting at the back of the amplifier.
The amplifier’s cooling system features an “intelligent” variable­speed DC fan which is controlled by heat sink temperature sensing circuits: the fan speed will increase only when the temperature recorded by the sensors rises over carefully predetermined values. This ensures that fan noise and internal dust accumulation are kept to a strict minimum. Should however the amplifier be subject to an extreme thermal load, the fan will force a very large volume of air through the heat sink. In the ex tremely rare event that the amplifier should dangerously overheat, sensing circuits shut down all channels until the amplifier cools down to a safe operating temperature. Normal operation is resumed automatically without the need for user inter vention.
Caution regarding heat escape should be exercised when mounting M5000-4 amplifier. Exhaust cooling air is forced out through the rear of the chassis (see FIGURE 5); make sure there is enough space around the back of the amplifier for this air to escape. M5000-4 amplifiers can be stacked one on top of the other due to the ef ficient cooling system they are equipped with. There is however a safety limit to be observed: in case a rack with closed back panels is used, leave one rack unit empty every four installed amplifiers to guarantee adequate air flow.
7.4 Operating precautions
Make sure the power switch is off before attempting to make any input or output connections.
Make sure the AC mains voltage used is within the acceptable operating voltage range specified in the M5000-4 documentation (factory selected 115 V / 230 V ±15%), depending on your country
mains standard. Damage caused by connecting the amplifier to an improper AC mains voltage is not covered by the warranty.
By using good quality input and speaker cables, the likelihood of erratic signal behavior is reduced to a minimum. Whether you make them or buy them, look for good quality wires, connectors and soldering techniques.
7.5 Grounding
There is no ground switch or terminal on the M5000-4 amplifier. All shield terminals of input connections are directly connected to the chassis. This means that the unit’s signal grounding system is automatic. In order to limit hum and/or interference entering the signal path, use balanced input connections.
In the interests of safety, the unit MUST always operate with electrical safety ear th connected to the chassis via the dedicated wire in the 3-wire cable. Never disconnect the ground pin on the AC mains power cord.
7.6 AC mains connection
The AC Mains connection is made via the IEC type connector on the back of the amplifier. Please make sure your AC mains power source operates within the voltage limits indicated on this manual (factor y selected 115 V / 230 V ±15%).
Safety warning!
Ground wires must be connected!
Do not use adapters that disable grounding.

8.4 Connecting audio inputs
Audio input connections are made via four XLR connectors found on the rear of the amplifier. Signal looping (i.e. link thru) is possible using the two XLR male connectors which are also found on the back panel. The Link on/off but tons allows to connect input channels 1 and 2 (and/or channels 3 and 4) in parallel.
8.5 Connecting audio outputs
WARNING!
Lethal voltage levels may be present at the loudspeaker
connectors when the amp is turned on!
All output connections are made via speakON connectors. Both bridge as well as single channel output connection modes are available. In the single channel mode wiring, the 1+ pin of the connector corresponds to the positive output of the channel, the 1– to ground (see FIGURE 9); for bridge mode refer to Section
8.5.2.
The M5000-4 amplifier manage bri dge and single chann el mixed configuration; for example, channels 1 and 2 can be set in bridge mode, and channels 3 and 4 single-ended.
M5000-4 amplifier is designed to be connected both to lo-Z loudspeakers as well as hi-Z, 70V / 100V distributed lines directly.
8.5.1 Lo-Z and 70V/100V operations
High impedance loudspeakers can be par alleled in 70V/100V distributed lines and directly managed. High output voltage per channel g uarantees direct connection
to hi-Z loudspeakers in a line (see FIG URE 9).
8.5.2 Bridge Mode Connection
Bridge mode connection of outputs is possible only in lo-Z operational mode. Bridging of adjacent channels is possible for the following pairs: channels 1 with 2 and channels 3 with 4. Bridging is NOT possible for other pairs, for example channels
1 and 3.

9 Protection
In order to protect your device and your speakers from ac cide ntal dam age, M500 0-4 ampl ifie r incl ude a n ext ensi ve automatic protection system. In the following sections, potentially dangerous scenarios and the amplifiers’ corresponding protective response are explained in detail.
9.1 Turn on/Turn off muting
Class D amplifiers may cause severe speaker damage at power up due to the high voltage levels at the output stage. In order to
avoid this, the outputs are muted for less than 2 seconds (less than 5 seconds for DSP models) after turn on. Similarly, turning off the amplifier can cause the same problem: outputs are muted immediately at turn off.
9.2 Short circuit protection
Shor t circuits or very low impedance loads may destroy the output stage of any amplifier. In order to protect the amplifier from the dangerously high current surges arising from accidental output shor t circuits or low impedance loads, all M series amps block channel activity when the cur rent drawn from the load rises above a set value. The channel is muted for 2 seconds after which the amplifier will unmute the channel and check whether the current draw is still over the safety threshold. Should this be the case, the amplifier will mute the channels for another 2 seconds and the procedure will reiterate. The red “CLIP” LED will be turned off only when the output current draw will have returned within safe limits.
9.3 Thermal protection
Outline M5000-4 amplifier have variable speed fans to assist cooling. If for some reason the cooling system can’t dissipate the produced heat correctly, a thermal protection system is automatically activated to avoid permanent damages. Every channel pair has a temperature sensor on the output stage heat sink. Two different protection strategies are implemented depending on the severity of the overheating. In order to protect internal components, the amplifier may automatically reduce output power until the internal temperature returns to safe levels.
9.4 Thermal warning
If the heat sink reaches a temperature of approximately 75°C, the front panel red “TEMP” LED corresponding to the overheated channel pair turns on to warn the user of a potentially dangerous thermal event. Output power is reduced to prevent damages to the output stage.
9.5 Thermal shutdown
If the heat sink temperature rises above 85°C, the thermal sensing circuitry will mute each power section of each compromised channel pair. Only after the heat sink has cooled down to below 75°C the channel pair will automatically unmute and the red “TEMP” LED will be turned off.
9.6 DC fault protection
In order to protect your speaker s from mechanical damage caused by a DC signal coming from the amplifier’s output, a DC detection circuit is placed between the amplifier’s output stage and power supply. If a DC signal or excessive subsonic energy appears at a channel output an instantaneous protection circuit will mute the compromised channel pair. The red “CLIP” LED will turn on to signal that protective measures have been engaged.

9.7 Input/output protection
Inter ference protection is implemented in the M Series to limit out of band noise carried by the input lines. Disturbing frequencies can interact with the output stage, causing unpredictable amplifier behavior. A filtering system is used to s top infrasonic and VHF signals from entering the signal path.
