+12V

In this example, the head unit has a +12V trigger

output that is connected to the ACM-1.300 remote

input terminal. When the head unit is turned on, it

will turn on the ACM-1.300 amplifier.
Alternatively, the GTO™ signal sense feature can

be used to gently turn on the ACM-1.300 amplifier

when an audio input signal is detected. (The con-

nection to the ACM-1.300 remote input terminal is

not required when using the GTO™ signal sense.)
