POWER  BUTTON

Pressing this latching 

power 

button connects the amplifier to the AC mains,

charges the power supply (which takes about five seconds), and places it in
standby. Having a true standby function keeps the sensitive voltage gain
stages warmed up and sounding their best at all times. Power consumption
when in standby is less than 125 watts.

Note that if the amplifier has been disconnected from the AC mains power
by depressing the front panel 

power 

button or by unplugging it from the

AC outlet, it cannot respond to a remote turn-on command from a control
unit. If you wish the amplifier to turn on and off via the Proceed communi-
cations bus (or by a DC trigger), the amplifier needs to be in standby, with
this 

power 

button engaged.

STANDBY BUTTON

Assuming that the power is on and the unit is in standby (see 1, above),
pressing the 

standby 

button engages the output stage of the amplifier, tak-

ing it from 

standby 

to fully 

on

. Pressing the 

standby 

button again will

toggle the amplifier back to standby. Power consumption when fully on and
at idle is less than 200 watts.

At your option, you may also toggle the amplifier between 

standby 

mode

and fully 

on

 by connecting a suitable 5-12V DC trigger such as can be pro-

vided by the Proceed PDSD or AVP to its 

remote trigger input

.
