3. GETTING STARTED

3.1 UNPACKING MAESTRO

1. Take MAESTRO out of the packaging and check whether MAESTRO or the individual parts exhibit damages. If this is the case, do not use MAESTRO. Should you detect any damage, contact your dealer or sonoro audio GmbH customer support immediately.

2. Check to make sure that the delivery is complete (see chapter "Scope of delivery").

3. Place MAESTRO at a suitable location. If you want to put your MAESTRO on a natural wood surface, please make sure that it is suitable. On oiled and waxed surfaces, stains may occur.

4. Remove the protective film from the display.

3.2 INSERTING THE BATTERY IN THE REMOTE CONTROL

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control by turning it anticlockwise using a small coin.

2. Insert the supplied batteries (CR2032, 3 V) with the label (+) side up.

3. Replace and close the battery compartment cover by turning the cover clockwise using a small coin.

Hand pressing a button on a smartphone (no text or symbols visible)

Do not block the infra-red sensor on the MAESTRO and the infra-red transmitter on the remote control during use.

3.3 USING THE ANTENNAS

1. The scope of supply contains a cable antenna and a rod antenna.
   For optimum radio reception, one of the two antennas must be used.
2. Screw the desired antenna located on the back of MAESTRO to the FM/DAB antenna connector.

1. If you are using the cable antenna, unfold the cable antenna and align the antenna so that you have the best possible reception.

Technical line drawings of two T-shaped pipe fittings labeled A and B, showing different connection configurations (no text or symbols beyond labels)

For good FM/DAB radio reception, the two ends of the cable antenna should form a ,T' (dipole) with the connection cable.

A: Recommended alignment for FM

B: Recommended alignment for DAB

For even better reception, connect MAESTRO to a suitable house antenna.

1. If you are using the rod antenna, pull the rod of antenna apart and align the antenna so that you have the best possible reception.
2. Screw the desired Wi-Fi antenna located on the back of MAESTRO to the WiFi antenna connector. Lift Wi-Fi antenna upwards.
3. If you want to connect MAESTRO to your network using an Ethernet cable, connect an Ethernet cable from LAN port on the back of MAESTRO to your router.

3.4 SPEAKER CONNECTIONS

NOTICE!

Risk of damage!

• Disconnect the power plug from the power outlet before connecting the speakers.
• Never touch the speaker terminals while the power cord is connected. Doing so could result in electric shock.
• Use speakers with an impedance of 4 - 16 Ω.

Speakers can be connected to MAESTRO as shown below.

Speakers (L) (R)

Connecting the speaker cables

1. Remove approximately 10 mm of insulation from the end of each speaker cable. Then, twist the bare wires of the cable firmly together.

2. Unscrew the knob.

3. Insert one bare wire into the hole in the side of each terminal.

4. Tighten the knob to secure the wire.

+ (red) - (black)

When connecting the speaker cable, take notice of the followings:

• Do not let the bare wires of the speaker cable touch one another.
• Do not let the bare wires of the speaker cable come into contact with MAESTRO's rear panel and screws.

Using a banana plug

1. Tighten the knob.
2. Insert the banana plug into the end of the terminal.

3.5 CONNECTING PRE OUT JACKS / 2.1 SYSTEM

The pre-outs allow you to connect active subwoofers, another power amplifier, mixer, recorder, etc.

The following illustration shows how to connect an active subwoofer to MAESTRO.

(1:38) SUBWOOFER

Select the option 2.1 System in the EQUALIZER menu. Then choose at MAESTRO the same crossover frequency as on your active subwoofer.

MAESTRO allows you to select the following crossover frequencies: 60Hz, 70Hz, 80Hz, 90Hz, 100Hz, 110Hz, 120Hz, 140Hz, 160Hz and 180Hz.

Choose a low frequency, e.g. 60Hz, for very large subwoofers and higher frequencies for smaller subwoofers. Follow the instructions and recommendations of your subwoofer.

Select one of the crossover frequencies and confirm with the „OK“ button. The speakers connected to the MAESTRO (L and R) are then operated via a Linkwitz high pass filter 2nd order.

This has the advantage that the L and R speakers are relieved of low tones, and the entire 2.1 system gains dynamic and maximum volume.

The volume knob on the active subwoofer adjusts the desired bass volume. Ideally you start with a very low volume and then increase slowly, until the subwoofer is just heard.

Adjusting the volume, loudness and tone on MAESTRO has effect on the PRE OUT jacks.

3.6 CONNECTING A RECORD PLAYER

Record players with MM cartridge can be connected directly to MAESTRO. Please connect as shown below.

GND L R

Record player (MM cartridge)

NOTICE!

Risk of damage!

The GND terminal of PHONO is not a safety ground connection. Connect the ground cable of your record player here to reduce hum and noise.

If input source is set to "PHONO" without having a record player connected, you may hear a hum noise from the speakers.

Depending on the turntable, connecting the ground terminal may have the reverse effect of increasing noise. In this case, it is not necessary to connect the ground terminal.

3.7 CONNECTING THE POWER CORD

Hi-Fi audiophiles know that the polarity of the power supply can affect the sound quality.

MAESTRO contains a power plug with a mark of the phase. (see picture below).

Neutral Pin Live Pin Red color

The AC mains socket can check for the live pin by using AC mains phase detectors or a tester screwdriver.

Live pin socket

NOTICE!

Risk of electrical shock!

Read and follow all safety instructions and instructions of your AC phase detector. In case of doubt, contact a specialist!

1. After complete all the connections, insert the power plug into the power outlet with correct phase.
