The high-current amplifier design of the M40 makes it an ideal solution for a four room sound system. All you have to do is add Proficient VC60i or VC60IR impedance-balancing volume controls. It’s for these applications that we designed the M40. The M40 combines the user-friendliness of a stereo receiver with many of the convenience features found on surround-sound receivers. With 80 watts per channel into 8Ω, two subwoofer outputs and a front-panel A/V input and there’s even an input for a record player.

The M40 combines the best of styling and performance in a full-featured, high performance receiver. The M40 can provide uninterrupted audio/video entertainment, switching from DVD movies to Sports on Cable or Satellite to Phonograph Records to Video Game Consoles. Every source of home entertainment can be connected to the M40.

The M40 is cool. Literally. The M40 features a high current audio amplifier that runs cool under most operating conditions when properly installed and connected. There are two sets of speaker terminals on the M40. Each can be turned ON/OFF independently and both can be run at the same time. But if that’s not enough, the amplifier design and use of quality discreet components gives the M40 the ability to drive up to four pair of speakers for whole-house audio entertainment when used with our VC60i or VC60IR impedance-balancing volume controls.

Whole-House Audio Systems Have Always Been Underpowered and Complicated.
Until Now.

Complementing the two Speaker pair terminals are two independent subwoofer sections. Each features a full range mono line level audio output, a 14V DC Trigger Output and Link Switch to sync subwoofer ON/OFF status with its matched speaker pair.

The M40 includes a built-in AM/FM Stereo Tuner. The Tuner can store up to 30 Preset Channels (AM or FM). Preset Channels can be scanned for review of ‘what’s playing’ on the air, or can be selected directly from the Numeric buttons on the M40 Remote.

The M40 features a variety of audio/video inputs and outputs that provide convenient connection and switching for up to seven home entertainment source components. There are three stereo audio source inputs, including a Phono Input with moving-magnet preamp and a Tape Monitor Loop for audio recording. There are also four audio/video inputs. Video 1 is an A/V IN/OUT that can be used for audio/video source recording and playback. The Video 3 Input is two selectable sets of Front and Rear Panel A/V connections. The Video 3 Rear Panel Inputs can be a DVD Player, Cable Box, Satellite Receiver or other ‘permanent’ A/V Source. The Video 3 Front Panel Inputs provide convenient connection for ‘guest devices’ such as Video Game Consoles, portable MP3 Players or cameras that might not always be connected to the system.

The Heart & Soul Of The M40

For the truly demanding, the M40 Front Panel Display can be dimmed or turned off should the display be distracting while viewing critical video content.

The M40 also features a Front Panel Headphone Jack for private listening plus, a Sleep Timer has been built in to the M40, to automatically shut the M40 OFF for those late night sessions when the M40 could keep running long after you have drifted off to sleep.

The M40 isn’t just a solid performer, it looks good too. The cast aluminum Front Panel is like no other and makes an impressive addition to any stack of gear. The upscale look of the M40’s all-aluminum faceplate will also impress your clients. One look and they’ll know this is a serious component not just another generic “black box” multiroom audio system.
