Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of the new M1 ViNL player. This unit will give top quality performance when

used as a top quality record player delivering the best performance possible from vinyl recordings.

Cleaning

Before cleaning the unit, switch off power at the mains switch and remove the mains plug from the wall socket.

Clean the cabinet and remote control unit using a moist cloth. Using solvents, white spirit or thinners is not

advised, as they could damage the surface finish.

Installation

Position the M1 ViNL on a stable, horizontal surface where there is no risk of it being knocked, or subjected to

vibration such as from loudspeakers.

Important note:

The M1 VINL must be protected from humidity – if the unit is moved from a cold place to a warm

room, leave the unit for an hour or so to allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate.

Please note: Musical Fidelity currently do not make any interconnecting cables, nor do we endorse any

particular manufacturer’s cables. If required, please refer to the Musical Fidelity dealer who can advise on

suitable quality cables for any particular setup.

Power Connections

The M1 ViNL is supplied with a standard IEC mains cable which plugs into the IEC socket at the back of the

unit. The unit features a universal power supply that can work anywhere in the world without reconfiguring.

Audio Connections

MM inputs: Connect left and right outputs from turntable/moving magnet cartridge to left and right MM input on

M1 ViNL. Use good quality fully shielded and connected (signal and ground) cables for optimum signal transfer

and minimum hum.

MC inputs: Connect left and right outputs from turntable/moving coil cartridge to left and right MC input on M1

ViNL. Use good quality fully shielded and connected (signal and ground) cables for optimum signal transfer and

minimum hum. If connecting a high output MC cartridge to the MC input results in a excessively high sound

output, it is perfectly in order to move it to the MM input and re-select input and loading options accordingly.

Make sure that the cartridge/turntable outputs are connected to the correct INPUTs for MM or MC. High

output MC cartridges are catered for in both MM and MC input options.

RCA Outputs: Connect left and right outputs to left and right line input on pre- or integrated amplifier. Use

good quality fully shielded and connected (signal and ground) coaxial cables for optimum signal transfer.

XLR (balanced) outputs: Connect left and right XLR outputs to left and right XLR line input on pre- or

integrated amplifier. Use good quality fully shielded and connected (signal and ground) XLR cables for optimum

signal transfer.

Trigger Connections

Trigger input: Connect system triggering device output to this socket. Use good quality 3.5mm mono jack

cable. Unit accepts 4.5V-15V DC triggering, either polarity.

Trigger output: Connect further devices in the system to be triggered into this socket. Use good quality 3.5mm

mono jack cable. Unit passes on +12V DC at up to 60mA, for further devices.

Earth Connection

The green earthing post should only be connected when excessive hum is experienced. Connect

the turntable earthing lead to this post if hum is noticed. If hum worsens when this post thus

connected, then disconnect immediately and investigate the cause elsewhere.

Note: some systems may have more than one direct earth point(s) already involved. This could cause

hum problems that may only become apparent on connecting in this unit. Thus the M1 ViNL may not be

the root cause of hum detected in a system.

There is no harm done if no connection is made to this terminal, as it is not always needed anyway, for

example, some turntables have their own earthing arrangement.
