The M3 Line Pre Amplifier features an ECC82 and 5687WB line stage, powered by a 6X5 valve rectified power supply based on the M10’s Galahad PSU. This power supply also features an ECL82 for voltage regulation and a 5651 for voltage stabilizer. Audio Note (UK) Copper wiring, AN(UK) tantalum resistors in critical areas, Audio Note (UK) Standard electrolytic capacitors and Audio Note (UK) copper foil signal capacitors in critical areas, along with in-house designed and manufactured, custom Audio Note (UK) output transformers which feature I-E M4 cores and copper windings. The M3 Line also has a correctly designed and implemented balanced output circuit.

Rather than using separate controls for volume and balance, the M3 Line is equipped with a dedicated Audio Note (UK) stepped attenuator for each channel. This not only brings the enormous improvements in sound quality expected from the now legendary Audio Note (UK) stepped attenuators, but also provides a level of channel balance accuracy that is impossible to achieve with conventional volume and balance potentiometers.

CONNECTION

Line inputs
Four RCA / Single Ended line inputs are available for connection, labeled ‘Tuner’ ‘Aux’ ‘CD1’ and ‘CD2’; any standard ‘line level’ source can be connected to these inputs.
All sockets are colour coded; RED is for RIGHT channel connection, WHITE is for LEFT channel connection.

Mains
The M3 Line Pre Amplifier is equipped with an IEC 320 mains inlet socket. Use the supplied mains cable to connect the unit to the local mains supply. The mains fuses are located in separate fuse holders, located on the rear panel.

Ground Post
A ground post is provided for connection to those source components that also use a separate ground terminal.

Outputs
The M3 Line provides two unbalanced outputs, consisting of two pairs of colour coded RCA / Single Ended sockets. RED is for RIGHT channel connection, WHITE is for LEFT channel connection. There is also a balanced output, consisting of a pair of ‘male’ XLR sockets (see ‘Balanced’ section, below).

RCA
The two pairs of RCA / Single Ended outputs are for connection to a power amplifier and are identical, making them suitable for bi-amping.

Balanced
The M3 Line is equipped with custom designed and manufactured output transformers, which utilize an improved output and grounding scheme to provide the best possible connection to the power amplifier.
