Power Amplifier  
Welcome to the Outlaw Family! With your purchase of a Model 200 M-Block  
Amplifier you have become part of a unique, worldwide community of audio-  
philes and home theater enthusiasts. With one or more Model 200 amplifiers  
you have the option to add power and flexibility to your system for a wide range  
of applications, such as; adding rear surround channels to a new 7.1 system,  
powering passive subwoofers, enabling bi-amp speaker configurations, power-  
ing multi-zone/multi-room speakers and much more.  
Model 200 M-Block Power Amplifier  
The Model 200 is compact, yet powerful, delivering 200 watts at eight ohms  
(20Hz–20KHz, >0.05%THD). Thanks to a unique circuit design and a heavy-  
duty power supply with a horizontally oriented torroidal transformer, the Model  
200 operates without a fan despite the deep power reserves.  
Since the Model 200 will often be used in multiple unit systems, a variety of  
power control options are provided. In addition to a standard power on/off  
switch, the Model 200 may be operated from the external trigger control of  
compatible products such as the Outlaw Model 950. Both in and out trigger  
jacks are provided so that the control signal may be cascaded. For systems where  
an external trigger is not available, the Model 200’s music sense circuitry is  
available for automatic turn-on whenever an audio signal is present.  
In order to fully enjoy the performance of your amplifier, please take a few  
minutes to read this owner’s manual. It contains important information that  
will help you to make certain that the amplifier is properly configured for  
operation with the rest of the equipment in your system.

Jack of an additional Model 200. Note, however, that connecting more than  
two Model 200s to a single source controller may overload the system and  
is not recommended. If you wish to automatically turn on more than two  
Model 200 units, we recommend the use of either the music sense circuitry  
or an externally powered relay controller. Contact Outlaw Audio Customer  
Service for more information on using the Model 200 in multiple unit  
systems to avoid damage to your processor, receiver or controller.  
A
The front panel LED indicator has three modes:  
Amber: Indicates that the Model 200 is connected to an AC power source and  
the rear-panel Main Power switch is turned on. When the indicator is amber,  
the unit is in the Standby mode and is ready to turn on when a control signal  
is received at the trigger jack or from the music sense circuitry.  
Green: Indicates that the Model 200 is on and operational.  
Red: Indicates that the Model 200 is in the Protect mode. If the LED is red,  
you should turn the unit off and then check for the source of the condi-  
tion that caused the overload. This may be a shorted speaker lead or other  
similar condition. In the event of repeated appearance of the red LED you  
may have a chronic system failure with either the Model 200 or another  
component in your system. In this case disconnect the Model 200 from AC  
power and the rest of your system and consult Outlaw Audio’s Customer  
Service Department for assistance.  
E
Trigger Mode Switch  
This three-position switch determines the method by which the Model 200  
will be placed in the active, or ON, position:  
When the switch is in the far right position, under the word “ON,” the  
unit will be turned on when the Main Power Switch is turned on.  
When the switch is in the middle position, under the word “MUSIC,”  
the unit will automatically turn on when an audio signal is present at  
the Input Jacks. The unit will automatically turn off when the signal  
is no longer present.  
B
C
Input jack  
Connect this jack to the output of the source used to feed the Model 200.  
Note that if the Trigger Mode switch is turned to Music, the Model 200 will  
turn on whenever an audio source is present at this jack.  
When the switch is in the far left position, under the “12V” indication,  
the unit will automatically turn on when a 6-volt to 35-volt signal is  
applied to the Trigger Input Jack. The unit will turn off shortly after  
that signal is removed.  
Trigger Input Jack  
Connect this jack to the trigger output jack of a compatible product such  
as an Outlaw Audio Processor or Receiver that is capable of providing a  
6-volt to 35-volt control signal at turn-on. When the Trigger Mode switch  
is set to the 12 Volt position, the Model 200 will turn on when the control  
signal is present.

music sense option to automatically turn on the Model 200, however, you  
may also use the trigger switch if the source controller has a switched AC  
Accessory outlet. If that is the configuration you wish to use, purchase a  
small AC to DC power converter, as typically used to replace the batteries  
in portable electronics devices. Select a model that is capable of delivering  
6 to 35 volts DC, and make certain that one of the “tips” provided with  
the unit is a 3.5mm mini-plug. Plug the transformer end of the converter

SAFETY NOTE: When making connections between any source compo-  
nents such as AV Receiver, surround processors or multi-room controllers  
and the Model 200, or when making any connections to speakers, be  
certain that both the source device and the Model 200 are turned off. To  
ensure that there will be no unwanted signal transients that can dam-  
age equipment or speakers, it is always best to unplug all equipment  
before making any connections. Modern electronic products often have  
a “standby” mode that may be activated even though they product may  
appear to be tuned off.  
E
Turn the Trigger Mode Switch so that it is in the center position under  
the word “Music.”  
H
Make sure the AC Power Switch is turned on. Note that the front panel  
LED will turn amber indicating that the unit is in the Standby mode,  
awaiting a signal that will activate the operational mode.  
In this configuration, the Model 200 will automatically turn on whenever it  
is receiving an audio input signal. The unit will return to the standby mode a  
few minutes after the audio signal stops.  
Power Control Connections  
Speaker Wire Connections  
The Model 200 features a built-in remote turn on system that will automatically  
turn on the amplifier in one of two ways. Depending on your specific applica-  
tion, the unit may also be turned on manually using the Rear Panel AC Power  
Switch, or automatically via sensing of either an input source or a low voltage  
trigger signal. For manual operation, no special installation is required. For  
automatic turn-on, follow the instructions below for the chosen method.  
It is always best to connect the amplifier to your speakers using high quality  
cable. The Model 200 is equipped with five-way binding post terminals that  
accept bare wire, spade lugs or banana type plugs when they are permitted  
by local safety agencies. Once you have located the proper speaker terminals  
for the type of output configuration in use, connect your speakers using the  
following guidelines.  
Remote Turn-On From An External Device  
Using The Low Voltage Trigger  
To configure the Model 200 so that it turns on automatically in response to a  
low voltage trigger signal, follow these steps:  
To assure that the high quality signals produced by your Model 200 are car-  
ried to your speakers without loss of clarity or resolution, we recommend that  
you use high quality speaker cable. Many brands of cables are available, your  
choice may be influenced by a number of factors; i.e.: the distance between  
your speakers and the amplifier; the type of speakers you use; personal prefer-  
ences; and other factors.  
E
1. Place the Trigger Power Control Mode Switch in the far right position,  
so that the switch is under the words “12 VOLT.”  
Regardless of the brand or type of cable selected, we recommend using a cable  
constructed of fine, multi-strand copper with a gauge of 14 or larger. Remember,  
that in specifying cable, the lower the number, the thicker the cable.  
2. To trigger the amplifier from a device such as a surround processor, AV  
Receiver or multi-room controller with a built-in trigger jack, connect one  
C
end of a cable with a 3.5mm mono mini plug to the Trigger Jack on the

have no markings, and the other will have a red line, brand name markings, a  
black thread, or some other positive indication. Follow the proper connection  
instructions for your system with regard to which terminals are used so that  
proper system polarity is maintained by connecting the positive (usually red)  
terminal on the speaker to the positive terminal on the Model 200 and the  
negative (almost always black) terminal on the speaker to the black negative  
terminal on the Model 200. After the connections are made, twist the cap back  
so that the connection is secured, but do not over tighten or use tools, as this  
may break the delicate wire strands and decrease system performance.  
Cables that are run inside walls should have the appropriate markings in  
indicate listing with UL, CSA or other testing agency standards. Questions  
about cables inside walls should be referred to a qualified installer or a licensed  
electrical contractor who is familiar with the NEC and/or the applicable local  
building codes in your area.  
If bare wire is used for the connections, strip approximately 1/2 inch to 3/4  
inch (20mm) of insulation from the end of each wire and carefully twist the  
strands of each conductor together. Be careful not to cut the individual strands  
or twist them off; for optimal performance, all strands must be used.

Operation  
If you are using spade lugs, connect them to the wire using the manufacturer’s  
instructions, and then loosen the caps on the speaker terminals. Place lugs  
between the plastic cap and the back of the terminal, as if it were a horseshoe  
on the game’s post. Again, remember to observe proper polarity. Tighten with  
your fingers to obtain a positive contact.  
Operation  
Operation of the Model 200 is simple. In normal use there are no controls to  
adjust once the installation is complete.  
After all connections have been made to the amplifier’s inputs and speaker  
terminals have been made, and the AC power cord has been connected, the way  
in which the unit turns on is determined by the setting for the Trigger Mode  
When banana plugs are permitted, connections may be made by simply insert-  
ing the jack affixed to your speaker wire into the hole provided on the rear of  
the colored screw caps on the binding posts. Before using banana type jacks  
make certain that the plastic screw caps are firmly tightened down by turning  
them in a counter clockwise direction until they are snug against the chassis.  
This will ensure that the maximum surface area of the plug is in contact with  
the jack. Be certain to observe proper polarity.  
E

is turned on.  
E
When the Trigger Mode Switch  
is set in the center, in the “Music”  
Finally, run the cables to the speaker locations. Where possible, it is recom-  
mended that the length of cable connecting any pair of speakers is identical  
even though one speaker may be physically closer to the amplifier than the  
other. Do not coil any excess cable, as this may become an inductor that creates  
frequency response variations in your system.

position, the AC Power Switch should be turned ON to place the Model  
200 in the Standby Mode. The unit will automatically turn on whenever  
an audio signal is present. The unit will return to the Standby mode a few  
minutes after the audio signal is removed.  
E
When the Trigger Mode Switch is set to the right, in the “12V” position,  
NOTE: While most speaker manufacturers adhere to an industry conven-  
tion of using black terminals for negative and red ones for positive, some  
manufacturers may vary from this configuration. To ensure proper phase  
connections, and optimal performance, consult the identification plate on  
your speaker terminals, or the speaker’s manual to verify polarity. If you  
do not know the polarity of your speaker, ask your dealer or installer of  
advice before proceeding, or consult the speaker’s manufacturer.  
H
the AC Power Switch  
should be turned ON to place the Model 200 in  
the Standby Mode. The unit will automatically turn on when a low voltage  
signal is present at the Trigger Jack  
when the host product’s trigger signal is removed.  
C
and return to the Standby Mode  
As a general rule, it is always a good idea to turn on your amplifier LAST. This  
avoids the possibility of any turn on pops or transients from other equipment  
being amplified and sent to your speakers where they may cause damage.  
Always start with a low volume level on your receiver, controller or preamp to  
avoid damage to your speakers.  
As a general rule, always avoid running input signal or speaker wire connections  
in parallel with each other, or with AC power cords. This can result in undesired  
hum or other interference that will greatly degrade signal performance.  
Audio Signal Connections  
SAFETY NOTE: To prevent unintended operation, remember to turn the  
unit completely off when it will not be used for an extended period of time.  
This is done by turning the AC Power Switch OFF and noting that the front  
panel; LED indicator goes off. This will prevent the automatic turn on circuits  
from accidentally turning the amplifier on during your absence.  
Audio connection to the Model 200 is simple and straight-forward: Connect the  
output of the source unit, which may be the preamp, multi-room or subwoofer  
output of a surround processor, stereo preamp, AV receiver or “whole-house”  
B
audio system controller to the Audio Input Jack  
.
Note: There are no output level controls on the Model 200, as the level  
is determined by the signal received from your source device. We recom-  
mend that after installing a new amplifier such as the Model 200 that you  
always re-calibrate your system to ensure that the system levels match  
at all speaker locations.  
When making connections with the “RCA” type plugs on interconnect cables,  
make certain to gently, but firmly insert them into the jacks on the back of the  
Model 200. Loose connections can cause intermittent sound and may dam-  
age your speakers. The barrel assembly of some high quality RCA plugs may  
be very tight, and it is important to ensure a proper connection between the  
interconnect cable and the input jack.  
AC Power Connection  
The final step in the installation of the Model 200 is to connect the power cord.  
J
First, connect the female end of the cord into the AC Power Receptacle on  
the rear panel. Once the cord as been firmly connected to the Model 200, insert  
the plug end into an AC power outlet.  
Safety Notes  
Due to the current draw of the Model 200, DO NOT connect the power cord  
to the accessory outlet of an audio/video component.  
Should the power cord become lost or damaged, be certain to replace it  
with a replacement that meets or exceed the original specifications. Use of  
power cords with insufficient capacity, such as those used with computers  
or office equipment, may create a safety hazard.

those from the “negative” terminal. Even a few stray wire strands can cause  
the unit to go into the protection mode.  
Care and Maintenance  
Cleaning  
When the unit becomes dirty, wipe it with a clean, soft, dry cloth. If necessary,  
first wipe the surface with a soft cloth slightly dampened with mild soapy water,  
then with a fresh cloth dampened with clean water. Wipe dry immediately  
with a dry cloth. NEVER use benzene, thinner, alcohol or any other volatile  
cleaning agent. Do not use abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish  
of the metal parts. Avoid spraying insecticide, waxes, polishing agents, or any  
aerosol product near the unit.  
After checking all speaker connections, turn the unit back on. If it continues  
to turn off, check your speakers to verify that they are operating properly. If all  
other potential sources of trouble check out properly, contact Outlaw Audio for  
further assistance and information.  
Fuse Replacement  
The fuse on the Model 200’s rear panel protects the unit’s power supply from  
problems and is not part of the audio circuit. If you suspect that a malfunction  
of the unit is caused by a blown fuse, be certain to replace it with an identical  
type. Should the fuse continue to blow, discontinue use of the Model 200 and  
disconnect it from both AC Power and all source components. Contact Outlaw  
Audio for service information.

wire where it is connected at the wall outlet. Turn your system back on, and  
listen if the hum has disappeared. If removing the cable TV feed has eliminated  
the hum, you will need to insert a Ground Loop Isolator before reconnecting  
the cable TV feed, or contact your cable TV operator to see if they can better  
isolate your cable feed.  
A Few Words About Hum and Noise  
Audible hum, or a discernable low frequency noise, is one of the most com-  
mon problems in audio/video systems. This hum, which may be present even  
when the volume is at a low level or when the power is off, is usually caused  
by a problem known as a “ground loop”. A ground loop occurs when there  
is a difference in ground voltages between two or more components that are  
connected electrically. This, in turn, creates multiple current paths and causes  
the low-level noise, or hum.  
Suggestion #2:  
Turn off all components in your system, and then disconnect the input cables  
at the amplifier. Turn the amplifier back on, and see if the hum is still present.  
If the hum disappears, the fault may be in the input cables used. Try replacing  
them with cables that have better shielding, and make certain that the input  
cables are not running on top of any AC power cords. Change the cables one  
at a time to determine if one, or all cables is responsive. If the hum disappears  
when the input cables are disconnected, but returns after the cables are changed  
and the system re-connected, the problem may be caused by your processor,  
receiver or preamplifier.  
The growing sophistication of home theater systems, and the increased number  
of components used to create these systems has dramatically increased the  
potential for the possibility of ground loops. While it is natural to suspect that  
the components in your system are the cause of the hum, in many cases the  
cause may be due to other conditions. In particular, cable TV connections from  
outside the house have become a major source of hum.  
In most cases, one of the following suggestions should help you to solve a  
hum problem in your system. Please try these steps in the sequence shown,  
proceeding from one step to the next if the prior suggestion does not eliminate  
the problem.  
Suggestion #3:  
Poor grounding of the electrical system in your home may also cause ground  
loop problems, particularly when there are multiple components with three  
prong, grounded, power cords. Try unplugging these components one at a  
time, and see if one or all of them is causing the problem. The ultimate solu-  
tion to this type of problem is to re-wire your house with an isolated, star-type  
grounding configuration. We recognize, however, that this may be impracti-  
cal and expensive. In some cases, the use of an approved AC Power Isolation  
Transformer of sufficient capacity may solve this problem.  
Potential Ground Loops in a Complex A/V System  
Suggestion #1:  
To determine if a cable TV connection is responsible for the hum, first turn all  
components off. Disconnect the cable TV feed to your system at the first place  
where it connects to your components. Alternatively, disconnect the cable TV

Warning: if you suspect that the grounding system in your home’s electrical  
wiring is causing the hum problem, it is important that you do not make  
any changes to the wiring yourself. Only a licensed electrician should  
make any changes to household wiring, and they must be made in full  
compliance with all local building, safety and electrical codes.

Faulty earth grounds may also cause hum in your home’s electrical system. In  
the past, cold water pipes were often used for the earth ground, so it is important  
to make sure that your ground connection is still valid and has not become  
loose or corroded. The cold water pipe method may no longer be valid in some  
locations due to requirements that the water meter be isolated from the water  
mains with a length of PVC pipe, thus interrupting the ground circuit. The  
safest, and most reliable, approach may be to provide your own ground. This  
can be accomplished by having a licensed electrician drive at least five feet  
of copper-jacketed steel grounding rod into the earth, and using that for your  
grounding connection.

Suggestion #5:  
If you have hum in your video display device (bars that roll up through image  
at 12-14 second intervals), this may be related to hum you also experience in  
your audio system. The previous suggestion tips may help with this also. If not,  
try isolating the ground in the projectors video signal cable with a base-band  
video isolation transformer, such as the Jensen VB-1BB.
