CONNECTING YOUR MODEL 2100 continued
Record Out Jacks
The Record Out jacks connect to your analog audio recorder’s record/input jacks.
When you select an Input 1–6 or MP3, the signal from the corresponding source
component is available at the Record Out jacks whenever the Model 2100 is
turned on. It is a fixed level signal that is unaffected by volume, balance and tone
settings or audio mute.
Note:
When you select the Bypass Input, there is no signal available at the
Record Out jacks. The Model 2100 does not enable monitoring the quality of a
recording as you are making it.
Connecting a Signal Processor to Your Model 2100
You can connect a signal processor such as an electronic crossover or equalizer
between the Model 2100 and your power amplifier(s). The signal processor’s
input should be rated to accept the Model 2100’s maximum output voltage
without overloading. You can also adjust the gain controls of your power amplifier(s) and signal
processor for the lowest noise level.
OTHER CONNECTIONS
The headphone jack accepts a 1/8” (3.5 mm) mini plug. The Main audio out is muted when
the headphone plug inserts into this jack, but the output to the Fixed–Rec jacks remains live.
Note:
Please lower the volume level on the Model 2100
before
unplugging your headphones
to avoid an unexpected loud blast of sound that could damage your speakers.
TRIGGERING OTHER COMPONENTS ON/OFF
12V Trigger Out
There is one 12 volt trigger output and one input. The output can
be used to turn on power amplifiers and other equipment that are
equipped with automatic turn-on inputs. Connect the Model 2100’s
12V output jack to the triggered component’s trigger input jack
using the provided trigger wire with the 2.5 mm sub-mini plugs.
Note:
Most Parasound Power Amplifiers are equipped with a 2.5
mm “sub-mini” 12V trigger input jack. The trigger voltage source is DC and the trigger plug tip is
+ (positive) and its sleeve – (negative). The trigger output has a maximum current capacity of 150
mA. Parasound power amplifier trigger inputs require a mere 15 mA.
AUTO TURN ON
12V Trigger In
The 12V trigger input can be used to turn the Model 2100 power on automatically. In this case the
Model 2100 would be turned on and off by another device such as a home automation system.
Note:
When the Auto Turn On switch is set to 12V or AC the front panel Power button and
remote control On and Off buttons are disabled.
AC Power Trigger
The Model 2100 will turn on automatically when its AC power source is switched on. To use
AC auto turn on first set the Auto Turn On switch to its AC position.
Note:
When the Auto Turn On switch is set to 12V or AC the front panel Power button and
remote control On and Off buttons are disabled.
