    Capacitors, which also block some of the low- frequency signal. In the 125m, a feedback circuit eliminates dc offset voltages and allows the signal path to be direct coupled without any capacitors.This arrangement, which we at tag mclaren audio call ‘straight line technology’, is easy to describe bu...

    We recommend that you use loudspeaker cables terminated in bfa plugs or spade terminals. These plugs are designed to fit the terminals on the back of the 125m (1) . The bfa plug and socket ensures that you cannot touch the high-voltage output conductors. Screw the knob of the terminal all the way in...

    Your 125m is a single-channel amplifier and can only accept a mono input. If you want to use the125m for stereo, you will need one for each channel. Connect the left output of a preamplifier (such as our pa20r) to input on one of the 125ms and the right output on the preamplifier to input on the oth...

    To improve the sound further, you can use separate amplifiers for high and low frequencies. This will allow you to increase the volume without distorting the sound. As each amplifier is operating in a smaller bandwidth, intermodulation distortion may also be reduced. Connect the output of one channe...
