Trigger Control

A trigger control allows one component to control the “Standby” state of another component. If there are no AyreLink source components available to control the operation of the KX-R preamplifier, it may be convenient to use the trigger control from a source component.

The trigger signal from a source component will directly control the KX-R preamplifier. The KX-R can then in turn control amplifiers linked by the AyreLink communications system. Connect the AyreLink ports of your components in a daisy-chain fashion as described in the chapter “Connections and Installation” with the KX-R at one end of the chain. The unused AyreLink port on the preamplifier is then used as a trigger input.
