feature overview
Your M8 Multi-channel Amplifier has been engineered to
provide years of trouble-free enjoyment when installed and
used according to this guide. This section will help you
become familiar with the most important features of the M8
component.
Front Panel
The front-panel of The M8 was designed with beauty,
simplicity and control confidence as the primary goals.
Power on/Standby button: The left side of the front panel
features a momentary-contact, machined-Aluminum power
button for switching the unit from standby to power on mode.
The light ring surrounding the power button illuminates red in
standby mode and blue in normal operation.
Side Panels
The left and right side panels of the Acurus M8 include
ventilation slots to help regulate the internal temperature of
the unit even when rack-mounted.

Rear Panel
The rear panel of the Acurus M8 is designed for ease of
connection and expandability. A white powder coat finish
makes connector labels easy to see in dimly lit rack mounting
situations.
Balanced XLR Inputs (1-8): Inputs 1-8 are balanced XLR to
be connected from a balanced out pre-amp such as the
Acurus MUSE or ACT 4. For bridged mono operation, only
odd numbered inputs are used (1, 3, 5, 7).
Power Outputs (1-8): Pairs of outputs correspond to XLR
inputs above each terminal block connector. Each terminal
block connection is rated for 20A current.
12V Trigger Input: The 12V trigger input is an optoisolated
input designed to interface with an external preamp
processor or control system. The 12V trigger pinout is
shown below:
12V trigger 3.5mm stereo plug pinout diagram:
Sleeve (1) = Ground
Ring (2) = Ground
Tip (3) = Trigger Voltage
IR (infrared) Sensor Input: The IR input is designed to
interface with an external IR window sensor (available from
Acurus) or from an IR out of a preamp processor or control
system.
RS-232 Port: One RS-232 port is provided to enable control
of the M8 from a computer or 3rd party automation control
system. Note that a null-modem adapter is required for a
direct cable connection from a computer.
Ethernet Port: The Ethernet port provides the main
networking connection and allows for Web control via the
built-in web server in the M8. A light to the lower left of the
Ethernet port illuminates green when an active network
connection is established.
USB Programming Port: A USB jack is included for
downloading firmware upgrades via computer.

Master Power Switch: To the back right of the M8 is a
combined master power on/off switch, main AC in fuse
drawer, and AC mains inlet. The master power switch in
the off position puts the M8 in a state of zero current draw,
however, in most installations, this power switch will
remain in the on position and the power on/standby control
on the front panel or through network control should be
used. The master power switch can be used to perform a
system restart. Note that settings are maintained in non-
volatile memory even with the master power switch off.
Mains fuse drawer: Below the master power switch is the
mains fuse drawer. Press the tabs on the sides of the
drawer to open it and access the fuse(s) inside.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Replace the mains fuse with the
exact fuse rating called out on the product label
located on the bottom of the M8 housing.
Main AC cord inlet: Below the fuse drawer is the main AC
cord inlet. Ensure the AC cord is inserted securely in this
socket.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use only the AC cord included
with the M8 and do not tamper with or alter the ground
plug.

Installation guidelines
The M8 was designed for both rack-mount and shelf-
mount applications. The M8 includes feet for shelf
placement. These feet are removable in order to attach
ears for rack mounting. This section provides instructions
for proper installation and setup.
General Guidelines
When planning an M8 installation, keep the following
guidelines in mind:
It is ALWAYS advisable to:
1. Provide ample air space to the sides and rear of the
unit (1-2 inches is the minimum preferred). It is not
necessary to provide additional space above or below
the unit.
2. Avoid obstructing air flow through the side-facing
ventilation slits on the left and right sides of the M8
unit.
3. Locate the unit near an AC power outlet or power
conditioner and avoid using extension cords or power
strips.
4. Whenever possible, plug audio source units into the
same power outlet or power conditioner as the M8.
5. Use as short length wire leads as practical, especially
on the amplifier inputs.
It is NEVER advisable to:
1. Enclose the unit in a rack or cabinet without air flow or
adequate ventilation, particularly across the air vents
along each side of the unit.
2. Place the unit near a source of moisture such as a
window or a live plant.
3. Place the amplifier directly on a carpeted surface.
4. Remove the safety ground connector from the AC
mains cord.
Shelf Mounting
The M8 Multi-channel Amplifier can simply rest on a flat
surface using the 4 rubber feet and mounting screws
supplied with the unit.
Equipment Rack Mounting
The M8 Multi-channel Amplifier can easily be configured
for rack mounting by removing the 4 rubber feet and using
an Acurus (part number ARM-3) rack mount kit available
from your authorized Acurus dealer.

system connections
The M8 Multi-channel Amplifier is designed for simple,
reliable connections in a variety of system configurations.
Following the guidelines below will ensure optimal
performance from your M8 Multi-channel Amplifier.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Make system connections
with AC power off.
Balanced XLR Audio Inputs
Use high quality XLR interconnects to connect from external
pre-amp processors or other variable output sources. XLR
to RCA adaptors may be used with pin2 hot and pin 3 signal
ground. Pin 1 may be shorted to pin 3 or left open.
Loudspeaker Outputs
Use high quality loudspeaker wire terminated with the
supplied block connectors. The outer pins are positive
polarity and the inner pins are negative. In the case of
bridged mode, use the outer pins only and leave the inner
pins disconnected.
Trigger In Control
To enable automatic power on/standby control of the M8
from an external preamp, control system or power
conditioner, connect a trigger cable from the trigger out of
the controlling device to the 3.5mm 12V trigger input on the
M8. The M8 trigger input jack is wired with its tip active and
will accept either a stereo or mono plug.
Control Networks
Ethernet: In order to take advantage of Acurus Enhanced
Ethernet Control (E2C), connect the Ethernet port to a
10/100 or faster home network router or switch port via a
standard CAT 5e or newer Ethernet cable. The network
activity indicators near the Ethernet jack illuminates green
when the M8 is powered on and an active network
connection is detected.
RS-232: Connect the RS-232 port to a system controller or
computer using a 9-pin RS-232 serial cable for full bi-
directional control and monitoring of the unit.
Mains (AC) Power
The M8 is equipped with a high-quality 14 gauge, 3-
conductor power cord. Plug this cord into the back of the
pre-amp processor and then into a nearby AC outlet. Avoid
using any extension cords or plugging into other
components with rear-panel switched outlets.

The M8 Multi-channel Amplifier is designed for simple,
reliable control in a variety of system configurations. This
section details the control protocols and specs for
interfacing M8 with a computer and/or 3rd party automation
system.
RS-232
The M8 Multi-channel Amplifier uses a standard RS-232
(DB-9) connection. A Null Modem Cable must be used to
connect to the RS-232 connector located on the back of
the M8. The RS-232 Control system is functional right out
of the box.
The RS-232 (DB-9) pin out is defined in the tabled below:
Serial communications format is as follows:
The M8 Multi-channel Amplifier is design to receive serial
commands and execute upon receiving the command.
This simple format allows for very efficient communication
between the pre-amp processor and the control system.

engineers and a physicist who saw a vision for an affordable
set of home entertainment products that bring together
professional-grade audio performance, state-of-the-art control
and connectivity, and simplified access to today’s content
sources.
Acurus was originally founded by Mondial designs in 1993 as
a more affordable alternative to its critically acclaimed flagship
brand, Aragon. Like its predecessor, Mondial, Indy Audio Labs
designs and manufactures all of its audio components in the
USA using custom fabricated parts and assemblies. Indy
Audio Labs prides itself on remaining true to the original
mission of Acurus today –delivering both high-performance
and high-value. Acurus is “accuracy from the US”.
