and follow the correct procedure described there.

AC adapter connector
The included AC adapter is connected here. (See

damage your speaker system or cause 
malfunctions.

Use this to secure the cable of the included AC adapter. 
After connecting the AC adapter, loop the cable around 
the hook located on the M50’s rear panel so that the 
cable won’t get pulled out inadvertently. Leave enough 
slack on the plug end so that you can disconnect it if 
you want to. For details, please see “Setup” on page 1.
Be careful not to bend the base of the plug any 
more than necessary.

transmit and receive MIDI data.
