Trigger Outputs
The Ultima Pre features three trigger outputs that can be used to remotely trigger other Chord
equipment. The external trigger should be connected via a standard 1/8
th
inch / 3.5mm (mono or stereo)
jack plug to the socket fitted to the rear of the unit. The trigger outputs will go high when the Ultima Pre
front panel power switch is pressed on.
The Ultima Pre should be switched off, the trigger lead inserted, then the unit switched back on.
The connections are as follows:
The tip of the plug is the +5V to +12V dc connection, the centre and rear connection are the 0V or ground
connection.
IR Control
The socket on the rear panel marked IR CONT will connect to the IR remote control receiver within the
Ultima Pre. When using room control systems you can connect the remote signal discretely to this socket
rather than using an external IR repeater stuck to the front panel display.
