WARNING: Never connect more than one pair of 8Ω speakers directly to the Speaker A and Speaker B Terminals at the same time. Doing

so can damage the M40. This type of damage is not covered by the Warranty. Always use an impedance matching device such as the

Procient VC60i Volume Control (one for each speaker pair) to protect the M40 from overload. Multiple 8Ω speaker pair can be connected

by adding one Procient VC60i Impedance Matching Volume Control to each speaker pair. Never connect more than one pair of 4Ω

speakers directly to the M40. Multiple 4Ω speaker pair connected directly to the M40 will cause the M40 to shut down and can damage

the M40. This type of damage is not covered by the Warranty. Multiple 4Ω speaker pair can be connected by adding one Procient VC60i

Impedance Matching Volume Control to each speaker pair.

Read and follow the instructions in this section when connecting multiple speaker pair to protect the M40 and help avoid

unnecessary damage.
