Connection panel M300 / M500 on the back
Note DAB+/FM parallel reception
A DAB/FM splitter is required for parallel reception of DAB and FM signals via the F socket of the tuner module. The two inputs
FM (87.5 - 108 MHz) and DAB+ (174-239 MHz) are combined on a common HF output. Revox optionally offers an optimized
FM/DAB switch under the order number 156109701.
Note on USB storage
Revox recommends using the USB connection only for data storage media up to 32 GB, since the reading time increases
enormously with large amounts of data or it may be impossible to record the data. A network hard drive (NAS) is recommended
for a large music collection, e.g. the Revox Joy Audio Server S37 with integrated CD ripping function.

Multiuser system –what is that?
With the Multiuser system from Revox, the focus is on individual users and their preferences. The possibility of adapting music
sources specifically to one's own needs is greater today than ever. And there is a time when you know which DAB station or
Internet radio station is playing your favorite music and which local audio input the CD player is connected to. All of these
sources can be easily and intuitively saved under Revox's patented user favorites.
And this is where the advantages of the Revox Multiuser System come into play: every Revox system, regardless of whether it is
set up in one room or in several rooms as a multiroom solution, offers several user profiles with their own user favorites. When
purchasing additional M300 or M500, the existing system is expanded by 4 user profiles each (if desired). Each user can enter
his name, so every family member is visible. After you have selected your user profile, this can be further personalized in the
app, for example by selecting your favorite station and adding it to your user favorites using the 3-point symbol . The new user
favorite is placed at the bottom of the favorites list and can be sorted there by holding and sliding. With the M300 / M500, the
following audio sources are available for storage under user favorites:
•Internet radio stations
•Musik services Spotify, TIDAL, Deezer
•DAB+ stations
•FM (UKW) stations
•Podcasts
•Music server (music from a network storage)
•USB audio
•Bluetooth
•Local sources (analogue and digital inputs including HDMI ARC input)
•
This creates a list of your favorite music or listening content that you can easily access. The selection is made either in the
multiuser app (e.g. on the STUDIOCONTROL C200 or your mobile phone) or by pressing a single button on the optional wall
control (C18 Multiuser Wall Control) or the optional IR remote control (C100 Multiuser Remote Control). Furthermore, users
and the favorites list can be selected directly via the glass front on the M300 / M500.

Integration
First steps
A network connection is required so that the M300/ M500 can be started and later operated. If the connection to your own
network does not take place via LAN using the supplied network cable, you will need a mobile device (Revox C200, smartphone
or tablet) with Bluetooth and WLAN functions. As a first step, please download the Revox Multiuser app from the Apple App
Store or the Google Play Store and install it on your device.
You can get a direct link via the QR code (see orange marking), which is located as a protective film on the glass front of your
M300 / M500. Simply take a picture of the QR code on the right with the QR scanner on your handset and follow the associated
link. The link is equally valid for iOS and Android devices.

Integration into the network with Revox Connect
After switching on for the first time using the switch on the back above the mains cable, the display shows the following content
in German and English:
The M300 /M500 is now ready to be set up via the Multiuser app.
Revox Connect is a connection routine that uses Bluetooth to create an initial connection between the M300 / M500 and your
mobile phone. The audio system can now be informed of the WLAN network with its key (password) via the Bluetooth
connection using the Revox Multiuser app.
Open the Multiuser
app and press the
blue connect sign
on the bottom
right.
Pressing the
Bluetooth field
starts the search
for Multiuser
devices.
The Multiuser
app icon is shown
during the search.

Establish a new WLAN connection with Revox Connect
If the Multiuser system is to be integrated into a new WLAN network and was previously registered in another network, the
Revox Connect menu can be called up again using the routine shown.
A. Press the OK button for more than 2 seconds. This
takes you to the setup menu of the STUDIOMASTER
device.
B. Confirm the Revox Connect option with OK.
C. Now the M300 / M500 is ready again to establish a
new WLAN connection via the Bluetooth interface in
combination with the Multiuser App, as described in
the previous chapter.
Note
The M300 /M500 remembers all WLAN accesses in the
background. If a WiFi network fails or is very weak, it can
connect to the previous WiFi network without
reconnecting. If this is not desired, a WLAN reset can be
carried out in the setup of the multiuser app in the Device
settings using the reset switch.
The STUDIOMASTER
found is displayed in
the field with BT
address and BT
strength (RSSI).
Now select the
desired WLAN.
After entering the
WiFi password, the
dialog closes and
the M300 / M500 is
displayed in the
Multiuser app as a
recognized device
and can be operated

Operation
After integration into the network, the M300 / M500 can be operated via the Revox Multiuser
App.
Switching on / off
The power symbol (see orange circle) can be used to switch the currently selected
STUDIOMASTER device on and off with a simple press.
If there are several STUDIOMASTER units in the Multiuser system, there is an extended switch-
off function. A long press on the power icon will bring up a selection menu (see picture below
right), which now provides two options:
User off
All rooms of the currently selected user, which in the example on the right is the user Peter, are
switched off. All other room amplifiers remain switched on.
System off
The complete system, i.e. all room amplifiers in the Multiuser network, are switched off. This is
very useful, for example, if you want to leave the house and make sure that no music is playing
anywhere.

Select source
By pressing the user favorites symbol at the bottom right, all available sources are displayed.
You can now select a source temporarily, as you are used to with conventional hi-fi systems. The
selected source is retained until you select a new source. The source is retained even after the
M300/M500 is switched off.
The M300 / M500 provides the following sources:
•Internet radio stations
•Music services Spotify, TIDAL, Deezer
•DAB+ stations
•FM (UKW) stations
•Podcasts
•Bluetooth
•Airplay 2 (not visible as source in the multiuser app)
•Music server (USB audio via USB-A socket or music from network storage)
•2 analog inputs Aux 1, Aux 2
•1 digital, optical input via a TOS-Link socket
•1 digital coaxial input via black cinch socket
•1 HDMI ARC input via an HDMI socket
Source options
The local sources (digital & analogue inputs, tuner, Bluetooth, HDMI Arc) offer the possibility to adjust the name, the source
icon and the input gain to your own needs. To do this, select the overview of all local sources of the M500 and then call up the
selection option for the respective source via the 3-dot symbol.
