Quick Start
 
This Quick Start is provided for those who just want to 
get started trying out the sounds right away.
It explains how to set up the M50, how to select 
programs and control the sound, and how to listen to 
the demo songs.
After you’ve finished reading this Quick Start section, 
please also take a look at the full explanations that 
follow.
 
Setup
 
Here’s how to connect the power cable and audio 
cables, and how to turn on the power.
You must use only the included AC adapter. Using 
any other AC adapter may cause malfunctions.
 
Note: 
 
Make sure that the M50’s power switch is set to 
STANDBY (the outward position).
 
1. Connect the plug of the included AC adapter to 
the power connector on the M50’s rear panel.
2. Connect the power cable to the AC adapter.
3. Plug the power cable into an AC outlet.
4. To prevent the plug from being pulled out 
accidentally, wrap the AC adapter cable through 
the cable hook located on the rear of the M50. Be 
careful not to bend the base of the plug 
unnecessarily.
 
Example of removing the cable from the cable hook
 
5. Connect the M50 to your mixer or monitor system.
 
Connect the M50’s AUDIO OUTPUT L/MONO and R 
jacks to your mixer or amplified monitor speakers.
If you’re monitoring through headphones, connect 
them to the headphone jack located on the rear of the 
M50. The headphones will output the same sound as 
the AUDIO OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks.
 
6. Lower the M50’s VOLUME slider.
 
Turn on your audio monitor system and set the volume 
to a normal level.
 
7. Turn on the M50 by pressing the power switch 
located on the rear panel.
8. Raise the volume of the connected equipment to 
an appropriate level. Then gradually raise the 
M50’s VOLUME slider to adjust the volume as 
desired.
