12 Volt Triggers
12 Volt Trigger Input
You can turn your Zdac v.2 on and off automatically if your preamp (or integrated amp/receiver) is
equipped with a 12 volt trigger output. Simply connect the included 12 volt trigger wire between your
other audio equipment 12 volt output and the 12V input jack of the Zdac v.2. When 12 volts is supplied
to this jack the Zdac v.2 will turn on and when 12 volts is removed it will turn off.
12 Volt Trigger Output
If your Zdac v.2 is connected directly to your power amp you may find it convenient for your amp to turn
on automatically with the Zdac v.2. If your power amp is equipped with a 12 volt trigger input, connect
the included trigger cable between the Zdac v.2’s 12 volt output and the amplifier’s 12 volt trigger input.
When the Zdac v.2 is powered on, 12 volts will be present at the 12 volt output jack and your amp will
turn on automatically.
AC Power Cord
Verify that the Zdac v.2 AC Voltage Selector switch is set for your AC mains voltage.
Connect your digital sources and analog preamplifier before you plug in the AC cord.
The power cord supplied with your Zdac v.2 is a high quality IEC type AC cord. If possible, plug your
Zdac v.2 into the same AC wall outlet, power strip or line conditioner as your digital source components,
analog preamplifier and power amplifier. If the AC ground potential varies between your AC outlets the
result can be an audible 60Hz (or 50Hz) hum.
