Zone 12VDC Trigger Outputs

There are eight zone 12VDC Triggers which are located under the routed IR outputs. The 3.5mm mini port provides 12VDC 100mA when the corresponding zone is turned on and is disengaged when the zone is turned off. The trigger can be used to engage any 12VDC trigger device or component that does not exceed 100mA, such as the Russound R235LS amplifier. The connections for the trigger outputs are made using a two-conductor cable with 3.5mm male mini-plug ports at each end. The tip is positive (+) and sleeve is negative (-).
