Recommended PC system for M2PC
The M2PC is designed to be operated with an external PC system that utilizes a touch screen.
We strongly recommend that you do not use the M2PC without a touchscreen because the
controller software is designed around a touch interface.
Without the touchscreen the system will provide a poor user experience and is difficult to use.
The PC should meet these minimum recommendations:
Windows 10 Operating System
Intel Core i5 processor
USB 2.0 connection
4GB RAM
1280x800 resolution touchscreen

Setup and Assembly
Unpacking
Open the shipping box carefully and keep all included pieces and protective covers for re-use.
Do not transport the M2GO HD / M2PC in any other container than the factory-provided cardboard box
with the original protective packaging inserts or a professionally designed protective case.
The M2PC is provided with a protective clip-on cover. Remove the cover carefully before powering up
the system.
The cover can be conveniently placed underneath the console during operation.
The M2GO HD is provided with a dust cover.
Martin Professional offers a rugged road case for the M2GO HD console.
Placement
The controller requires a stable mounting position that provides support for all 4 rubber feet on the
bottom.
Never place the controller onto a blanket or other soft surface as this would block the ventilation
openings and cause overheating that would shut down the internal processor and possibly damage
the controller.

Power Connections
The Martin M2GO HD - M2PC accepts AC mains power at 100-240V 50/60Hz. Do not
connect it to power outside this range. Damage resulting from incorrect connection is not covered
under warranty.
North America: A cable with a NEMA 15-5P plug is provided for use with the M2GO - M2PC in the
USA and Canada. This approved cable must be used in North America.
Rest of the world: The provided IEC cable is not fitted with a country-specific plug.
Install only a plug that meets local and national electrical codes and is suitable for the country's
specific power outlet types. Refer to a certified electrician for any questions regarding a country's
specific requirements.
A 3-prong grounding-type (earthed type) plug must be installed following the plug manufacturer’s
instructions. The table below shows some possible pin identification schemes; if the pins are not
clearly identified, or if you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.

Connections
Right Side panel
USB
The right side panel offers a USB device socket. This connector is ideally suited for USB flash drives
or a keyboard.
This connection is not suitable for boot operations (e.g. installation of an operating system). Use the
USB connectors on the back of the console for this purpose instead.
Do not exceed a current of 500 ma on any USB device port.
MIDI
The MIDI card provides MIDI In, Out and Thru 5-pin DIN connectors. The software supports incoming
MIDI Notes, MIDI Show Control and MIDI Timecode signals.
This card is optional on the M2PC controller.
SMPTE
The SMPTE device offers 3-pin XLR connectors for SMPTE In and Out signals.
This card is optional on the M2PC controller.

Service
The Martin M2GO HD - M2PC is designed as a rugged, roadworthy device. Occasional cleaning is the
only service required of the user. For any other service-related concerns, please contact your Martin
dealer or visit www.martin.com.
Any service not described in this document must be carried out by a qualified Martin technician.
The M2GO HD - M2PC requires periodic cleaning, as does any computer. The schedule depends
heavily on the operating environment; please consult a Martin service technician for recommendations
if needed.
As with any computer, never spray the cleaner directly onto the desk, always spray onto a lint-free
cloth and wipe clean. Cleaning products designed for cellphone and tablet devices tend to work very
well for cleaning a lighting console.
Important! Excessive dust, dirt smoke fluid build-up etc. can degrade performance and
cause overheating and damage to the controller that is not covered by the warranty.
