IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read these Instructions.
2. Keep these Instructions.
3. Heed all Warnings.
4. Follow all Instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or
other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding - type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into
your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by
the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus, when a cart is used,
use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods
of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped.

Do not expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing, and ensure that
no objects filled with water, such as vases, are placed on the apparatus.
L’appareil ne doit pas être exposé aux écoulements ou aux éclaboussures et aucun
objet ne contenant de liquide, tel qu’un vase, ne doit être placé sur l’objet.
The mains plug is used as the disconnect device and it should remain
readily accessible during intended use. In order to isolate the apparatus
from the mains, the mains plug should be completely removed from the
mains outlet socket.
La prise du secteur ne doit pas être obstruée ou doit être facilement accessible
pendant son utilisation. Pour être complètement déconnecté de l’alimentation
d’entrée, la prise doit être débranchée du secteur.
Terminals marked with the symbol may use Class 2 Wiring, but
voltages at these terminals may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock. The external wiring connected to
these terminals requires installation by an instructed person or the use
of pre-made leads or cords.

Safety Considerations and Information
The MA40E is powered by an external DC supply. A separate Power Supply
Unit (PSU) is supplied with the amplifier. The PSU must be earthed. Ensure that
the mains power supply provides an effective earth connection using a three-
wire termination.
Mains Fuse
The PSU is a sealed unit and contains no user-replaceable fuses. Mains over-current
protection is provided by the fuse in the AC mains plug, which should be rated
at 5 A.
Servicing
The unit contains no user serviceable parts. Refer servicing to qualified service
personnel. Do not perform servicing unless you are qualified to do so. Disconnect
the power cable from the unit before removing the top panel and do not make any
internal adjustments with the unit switched on. Only reassemble the unit using
either the original bolts/screws, or ones identical to the original parts.

OVERVIEW
Introduction
The MA40E is a very compact stereo amplifier of advanced design, intended
for integration into audio and AV systems where de-centralised installation is
advantageous. It may be considered an “install-and-forget” component, and is
small enough to be fitted into a wall or ceiling void, or in any convenient location
adjacent to projectors, flat screen displays or loudspeakers, for example. It is highly
suitable for use with in-store digital signage, gallery and museum exhibits and in
fixed or mobile tour guide systems.
The MA40E can deliver 20 W per channel into a 4 ohm load. There are two unbalanced
inputs for stereo line level signals (typically music sources). Front panel preset-type
controls are provided for music level and music EQ. There are also various preset
adjustments, configuration DIP switches on the rear panel and jumpers mounted
internally on the main PCB. A remote input module or remote level control can
be wired to the amplifier’s Facility Port, which can also be used as an additional
line input. An Ethernet port provides extensive remote configuration and control
options using any compatible network device with a standard web browser. The
MA40E may also be fully controlled using RS-232 commands.
The MA40E will operate “out of the box” in its basic configuration: the simple set
of manual controls and configuration options makes it quick and easy to integrate
into any audio system. Greatly enhanced control and configuration can be achieved
through the internal web server, including control of the amplifier’s DSP section.
Applicable Model
This Installation Guide describes the installation and operation of the following
model only:
• Cloud MA40E 20 W/ch stereo amplifier for 4 ohm loudspeakers.
NOTE: Amplifier models MA40, MA40F and MA40T are NOT covered by this Guide,
and when installing any of these models, reference should only be made to the
Guides specific to them.
