Speaker level input
- If you have an
amplified output from a distributed
audio system, use this input stage.
In most cases, you should be able to
connect to this input as well as your
speakers (paralleling the output) as
the input impedance of this input is 15
kOhm.
12.
Speaker outputs
- Connect your sub-
woofer speaker wires to these speaker
terminals. These are 5-way binding
posts so you can use just bare wire,
banana plugs, spade plugs, looped
wire or well, not sure what the 5th way
is but you get the drift.

Gound Isolation switch -
This switch
selects the level of isolation between
the audio signal ground and the AC
earth ground. In normal operation this
switch should be in the GND position.
If there is trouble with an AC ground
hum, try the other two settings for
best operation. For safety, chassis is
always connected to the earth ground
regardless of the switch setting.

Master trigger
- If your are not using
the Ethernet connection to turn the
unit on, then you can use the TS 1/8”
connector or the 3-pin block connector
to turn the unit on or to place it into
standby mode. Either one of these
connections bcan be used as a trigger
input. For example, you can have an
external device such as one of our
glorious AudioControl home theater
receivers, turn on the RS 500 when it
is turn on.

Trigger status LED
- This LED shows
the status of the trigger input - if lit,
then the trigger has been activated,
if off or dark, then the trigger has not
been activated and is not seeing any
voltage on the 12v input.
16.
12V trigger
- This is not a duplicate of
the 12v master trigger noted above.
This will turn on the power amplifier
section of the RS amp. The master
trigger will trigger the main power
supply used to power the amp, the
DSP and other support items to make
this baby run – when main power is
triggered on, the units takes a few sec-
onds to power up. When the unit has
global power on via Ethernet or Master
Trigger, this 12V trigger will turn on
and off just the amp section. It a quick
250 millisecond on or off control.
