To set up the amplifier to be controlled by a 12V trigger:
1
Slide the POWER MODE switch to
12V
.
2
Connect the 12V trigger cable from the trigger device to
12V TRIGGER
IN
.
3
(Optional) Connect
12V TRIGGER OUT
to another amplifier to link their
power control together.
In this mode, the amplifier will turn on when a 12V signal is present on
the 12V Trigger Input jack. This 12V trigger input can be wired to the 12V
trigger output of a Triad audio matrix switch or a relay and contact on a
Control4 controller. See the Control4 Knowledgebase for more details
NOTE:
All amplifier zones turn on when a 12V trigger is received in
12V Power Mode.
To set up the amplifier to be turned on by the audio sensing:
1
Slide the POWER MODE switch to
AUDIO
.
In this mode, the amplifier will turn on when an audio signal is sensed on
the audio input.
NOTE:
Only the amplifier zone that senses audio will turn on when
in Audio Power Mode.

RESETTING THE AMPLIFIER
• Power reset
—Remove the power cord and replace the power cord to
