1. Master Trigger – This 3-pin block
connector is used to turn on the unit
or place it into standby mode. You
can also use the 1/8” TS trigger to turn
the unit on and off too. If no trigger
voltage is present at either jack, then
the unit will be in standby, with output
muted.
To remotely turn on the unit, use
either a contact closure between the
Trigger Input and the +12V output,
or an ex12V trigger between
the Trigger In and GND terminals. To
turn on and keep it on , jump the 12V
output to the 12V input - but keep in
mind the 12V output is not designed
to power other pieces of equipment or
jump start your car.

2. 1/8” TS Trigger – If you have an
automation system or source device
with a 1/8” TS trigger output, you can
use this trigger input to turn on and off
the Architect P250 EQ instead of the
Master Trigger 3 Pin connector.

Power Up Process: When a +3 to +12V
signal is sensed at the trigger input of
either 1/8” TS connector, or the 3-pin
connector, the Architect P250 EQ will
turn on. The outputs will be held in
standby for about 2 seconds until the
power supplies have fully charged
and performed their self-tests. During
this short process, the front panel
Power LED will be red briefly. When
complete, the Power LED will turn a
relaxing blue. Status LED will be off
during this time. Once the Architect
P250EQ is fully powered up, the Status
LED will illuminate Blue if Signal Sense
is off. If Signal Sense is on and there
is a signal present, then it will also be
Blue. If however Signal Sense is on
and there is no signal present during
boot up, then the Status LED will not
illuminate.
3. Signal Sense Switch – This switch
controls whether the zone is always
active when the master 12V trigger is
active, or if the zone stays in standby
until a signal is sensed. If signal sense
is on (switch right) the zone will stay in
standby until an audio signal greater
than 5 mV is detected. The zone will
remain active whenever a signal is
present. After two minutes with no
signal detected, the zone will return to
standby.
