how will my m44 handle high input voltage?

i was wondering if it's gonna be a problem hooking my m44 up to pioneer deh-p860mp?

the manual for the m44 only mentions up to 2v input signal while my h-u delivers 6,5v signal max.
guess i could tune it down a bit but if i overstep 2v would it be a problem?

I think your M44 will handle your pioneer's signal voltage just fine.

They can handle 10v input just fine.

okay, thanks for the answers:)

my m44 hasnt been fired up for about 7-8 years though, anything i should take into consideration when i hook it up? any risk of the cap's leaking all over the pcb?
it is in mint condition and has been in little use.

I'd pop it open and take a look..... Even if it looks OK, I'd still do the cap swap to be safe.

Hi jack but on topic .........

So you're telling me that an M series amp can manage 8V from a TBA or EQ or PLD where the PG manual says 2V?

Advice and comments encouraged. Later.

I commented above that I run higher than that with no problems to mention. I run with AudioControl gear which usually goes to 10v.

This should apply to M series amps as well for input voltage. I'm pretty sure Eric D. has said that the MS amps won't handle 8 volts.

I have always ran a pld1 on my M50 and M100's and had no problems with it.
