   •  Select the function desired from the IR Remote menu, point an IR remote control at the unit and press the button to perform that function.

   • Once successful, a check mark will appear beside the programmed function. You can now use the IR remote control to command the M10 with the programmed functions.

2. +12V TRIGGER OUT

   • The +12V TRIGGER OUT is used for controlling external equipment equipped with a +12V trigger input.
   • Connect this +12V TRIGGER OUT to the other equipment’s corresponding +12V DC input jack using a cable with 3.5mm male plug.
   •  This output will be 12V when the M10 V2 is ON and 0V when it is either OFF or in standby mode.

3. ANALOG IN 1-2

   • Input for line level sources such as CD player, tuner or any compatible devices. Use dual RCA-to-RCA cable to connect the source device’s left and right “Audio Output” to these line input ports.
   • The sources will appear as “Analog Input 1” and “Analog Input 2” in the navigation drawer of the BluOS App.

4.  PRE OUT

   • Use dual RCA-to-RCA cable to connect PRE-OUT to the corresponding analog audio input of compatible devices such as amplifiers, receivers or other applicable devices. This makes it possible to use the M10 V2 as a pre-amplifier to such devices.

5.  SUBW (SUBWOOFER) 1, 2

   • Connect SUBW 1 and/or 2 to the low level input of corresponding powered subwoofer.
     Low frequency information below the selected crossover setting is sent to the connected subwoofer.

6. OPTICAL IN/COAXIAL IN

   • Connect to corresponding optical and coaxial digital output of sources such as CD or BD/DVD players, digital cable box, digital tuners and other applicable components.

7. HDMI eARC

   • Connect to TV that supports HDMI Control (CEC) and Audio Return Channel (ARC) or Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC) functions. HDMI CEC, ARC and eARC functions are possible if external devices that also support these features are interconnected with M10 V2 via HDMI connection.
   •  Use HDMI cable to connect HDMI ARC/eARC to corresponding HDMI ARC/eARC port of TV. Use HDMI cable that has Ultra High Speed HDMI Certification Label to enjoy support for larger bandwidth and high bitrate format.
   •  With ARC/eARC connection established, M10 V2 will output audio signal from TV.

8. SERVICE

   • These USB port and tact switch are for servicing purposes only. Not for consumer use.

9. LAN/USB

   • LAN connection must be setup for wired connection to be established. Set up a Wired Ethernet broadband router with broadband internet connection. Your router or home network should have a built-in DHCP server to consummate the connection.

   • Using a standard straight-through Ethernet cable (not supplied), connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN port of your wired Ethernet broadband router and the other end to M10 V2’s LAN port.
     NOTES

   • NAD is not responsible for any malfunction of the M10 V2 and/or the internet connection due to communication errors or malfunctions associated with your broadband internet connection or other connected equipment. Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for assistance or the service bureau of your other equipment.

   •  Contact your ISP for policies, charges, content restrictions, service limitations, bandwidth, repair and other related issues pertinent to internet connectivity.

10. STANDBY BUTTON

    • Press Standby button to switch ON the M10 V2 from standby mode. The Status indicator will change from amber to solid white.
    •  Switch back M10 V2 to standby mode by holding down Standby button until the NAD logo indicator starts flashing red before turning to solid amber.

11.  AC MAINS INPUT

    •  The M10 V2 comes supplied with two separate mains power cords. Select the mains power cord appropriate for your region.
    •  Before connecting the power cord’s plug to the mains power outlet, ensure that the other end of the power cord is firmly connected to M10 V2’s AC Mains input socket..
    • Always unplug the power cord from the mains power outlet before disconnecting the other end of the power cord from M10 V2’s AC Mains input socket.

12. BRIDGE MODE

    • M10 V2 output power is at least doubled when set to Bridge Mode. This way, the M10 V2 can be used as part of a high power stereo or home-theatre system by connecting additional power amplifiers.
    •  In BRIDGE MODE (switch at ON setting), the M10 V2 will produce approximately 200W into an 8 ohm loudspeaker. In this mode, the amplifier sections will react as though the speaker impedance has been halved. Low impedance speakers (under 8 ohms) are not recommended when using Bridge Mode as these may cause the amplifier’s thermal cut-out to operate if played at high levels.
    • Set the BRIDGE MODE switch to “ON“ position. Then, connect the speaker to the rear panel terminals marked “SPEAKER RIGHT +” and “SPEAKER LEFT +” ensuring that “SPEAKER RIGHT +” is connected to the “-” terminal of your speaker and “SPEAKER LEFT +” is connected to the speaker’s “+” terminal.
    • Connect the source to the Left input sockets only. Do not connect anything to the Right Input socket when Bridge Mode is selected.

13. SPEAKERS

    • Connect M10 V2’s Right speaker terminals marked “R +” and “R-” to the corresponding “+” and “-“ terminals of your designated right speaker. Repeat the same for M10 V2’s Left speaker terminals and corresponding left speaker.

7. A/V Mode: By connecting your TV or other video sources to your M10 V2 through analog, coaxial, optical or HDMI input ports, you can listen to your favorite shows or movies through your BluOS system. Grouping multiple BluOS devices from one of these inputs can require an abundance of network traffic. A/V mode creates a short and unobtrusive buffer to your audio to ensure your BluOS system stays in sync with your video even with slower or cluttered networks. Enabled: With A/V Mode enabled on your input source, audio delay will be automatically adjusted to keep your grouped BluOS devices in sync with the video source connected. Use the Lip-sync delay slider below the A/V Mode setting to manually adjust the lower end of this delay to better suit the speed of your network.
   Disabled: When your M10 V2 is connected to an audio source without video, such as a turntable or CD player, the A/V Mode setting should be disabled.

8. Lip-sync delay: With A/V Mode enabled, “Lip-sync delay” can be adjusted to ensure your audio is staying in sync over your network with the original video source. By varying “Lip-sync delay” from 50ms to 150ms, one can delay the audio output to synchronize it with the video image of the corresponding source.

MASTER QUALITY AUTHENTICATED

Master Quality Authenticated (MQA) is a revolutionary end-to-end technology built into M10 V2 that captures and delivers master quality audio. M10 V2 includes a powerful decoder and audio renderer for the MQA system. This ensures that MQA-encoded audio files sound exactly like the source. M10 V2 playback and decodes MQA content from BluOS sources.

MQA INDICATORS
MQA indicators are both shown in the front panel display and in the BluOS app.
The MQA indicator displays green or blue to indicate that the unit is decoding and playing an MQA file. It displays green to indicate decoding and playback of a MQA file and denotes provenance to ensure that the sound is identical to that of the source material. It displays blue to indicate playback of MQA Studio file that has either been approved in the studio by the artist/ producer or has been verified by the copyright owner.

DIRAC LIVE

The proprietary Dirac Live is integrated with your M10 V2. Dirac Live® is a patented room correction technology that not only corrects the frequency response, but also the impulse response of a room’s loudspeakers. Dirac Live provides true impulse response correction over a large listening area, improving the depth, positioning and distinction of individual voices and instruments. Using multiple measurement and mixed phase correction, Dirac Live helps create a natural, realistic and transparent sound with tighter bass and reduced room modes, in a way previously not possible.
For Dirac Live Setup guidelines, go to support.nadelectronics.com and search for “Dirac Setup”.
