12V Trigger Connections

The 12 VDC trigger connection shown can be used to turn the amplifier on when the preamplifier turns on. This trigger will actually trigger with any switched DC Voltage from 5-24 VDC, however the majority of home theater components use a standard 12 VDC trigger connection for this function. This is the preferred con- nection as it has the greatest degree of reliability.

Never switch anything that plugs directly into the wall with this trigger connection. This action will damage the unit and VOID THE WARRANTY.

If unable to use the trigger connection to activate the IPS-1, you could alternatively use the amplifier’s SIGNAL switch position. The amplifier will then au- tomatically turn on when a preamp audio signal is

received.

The trigger connection plug and turn-on selector

 

switch are located on the top right corner of the back

Speaker Output Connections

The speaker output terminals for each amplifier channel are located just below the RCA input jack and channel ID area. The top post of each binding post pair is the positive output, and connects to the positive (red) post of your speaker. The bottom post of each pair is the negative, and connects to the negative (black) post of your speaker.

Regardless of the configuration used for the IPS- 1 amplifier channels, proper connection of each speaker is essential. The 5-way binding posts can accept bare wire, spade terminals, and dual or single banana connectors. Spade connections or banana plugs ensure a simple, solid fit in the terminal whereas bare wire may be awkward when the terminal is screwed down to compress the wire into place. Keep in mind that if you use “dual banana” plugs and “stack” them, you will be

creating a parallel connection.

Spade connections ensure a tidy and safe connection

 

 

to each speaker output binding post.
