Trigger Input 

 

The trigger input on the MP3-WS can accept a variety of trigger 
devices; voltage sourcing or contact closure.  A normally open 
contact is required.

All of the tracks in the play list will play once before the list is shuffled.

the

 +

 terminal in the Trig section is a special
