12V Trigger Connections
There are three stereo mini-jack 12 volt trigger outputs on
the rear panel of the Maestro M2e which are used to re-
motely control such things as the power amplifier turn-on,
projector power, screens or curtains. The “System On” Trig-
ger has two separate outputs. The jack is a three conductor;
Tip, Ring, Sleeve connection.

The two video triggers carry one signal each. Video Trigger
#1 has 12 volts DC when the Maestro M2e is turned on.
Video Trigger #2 jack goes to 12 volts when one of the video
sources is selected and is generally only used with Euro-
pean (SCART) video devices.
The Main “System On” Trigger would generally be used to
control the power to the amplifiers and source units. The
Video Trigger would be used to control the projector or
video screen.
Note: Do not use a mono mini-jack as you will not make
the proper connections.
Second Zone Connections
The Zone 2 outputs on the Maestro M2e send an indepen-
dent audio and video signal to a second room. There is a 2
channel stereo analog audio output and a composite video
output.
There is also an IR sensor input for the second zone. This
enables you to remotely control the Maestro M2e and also
repeats the IR to your source units through the IR Output
jack on the Maestro M2e. Any IR signal received through
the Maestro M2e’s front panel IR sensor or through an IR
sensor connected to the IR inputs is repeated to the IR Out-
put for controlling the source components in your system.
Since the Zone 2 outputs of the Maestro M2e are 2 channel
analog audio and composite video, you must have these
signals connected from your source units to make them
available. The Maestro M2e does not convert a digital audio
signal into analog for zone 2.
