Connecting the Triggers 

14. If you will be using a trigger to turn the amplifier on and off, plug a 3.5mm TS or 

TRS cable into the 

12V Trigger In

 jack and the other end to the trigger output of 

another device. Set the 

Power Control

 switch to the 

Trigger

 position. 

15. If you want to trigger another device whenever the amplifier is powered on or off, 

connect a 3.5mm TS or TRS cable to the 

12V Trigger Out

 jack and the other 

end to the trigger input of the device you want to activate. 

 

Connecting Power 

16. Check the position of the 

Voltage Select

 switch to ensure that it is set to the 

proper value for the AC power source. 

17. This amplifier ships with an installed fuse that is appropriate for 110-120V AC 

power sources. If you will be using this amplifier with a 220-240V AC power 
source, you must change to the fuse to the type listed in the 

Specifications

 

section for 230V sources. 

18. Plug one end of the AC power cord into the Power Connector on the amplifier's 

rear panel. Plug the other end into an AC power socket. 

 

Setting the Master Volume and Delay 

19. Temporarily set the 

Power Control

 switch to the 

Normal

 position. 

20. Using a small screwdriver, set the 

Master Volume

 controls on the rear panel to 

the minimum value. 

21. On the front panel, set the 

Volume

 level to Min and set the 

Balance

 control the 

middle (12 o'clock) position. 

22. Depress the 

Speaker A

 button on the front panel. If you are using a second 

speaker zone, depress the 

Speaker B

 button, as well. 

23. Press the 

Power

 switch on the front panel to apply power. Power on your 

Secondary source and cue up audio material that will be representational of the 
maximum volume level you will want out of this amplifier.
