Other Connections, Triggering Other Components On/Off

CONNECTING YOUR MODEL 2100 continued

Record Out Jacks

The Record Out jacks connect to your analog audio recorder’s record/input jacks. When you select an Input 1–6 or MP3, the signal from the corresponding source component is available at the Record Out jacks whenever the Model 2100 is turned on. It is a ﬁxed level signal that is unaffected by volume, balance and tone settings or audio mute.

Note: When you select the Bypass Input, there is no signal available at the Record Out jacks. The Model 2100 does not enable monitoring the quality of a recording as you are making it.

Connecting a Signal Processor to Your Model 2100

You can connect a signal processor such as an electronic crossover or equalizer between the Model 2100 and your power ampliﬁer(s). The signal processor’s input should be rated to accept the Model 2100’s maximum output voltage

without overloading. You can also adjust the gain controls of your power ampliﬁer(s) and signal processor for the lowest noise level.

OTHER CONNECTIONS

The headphone jack accepts a 1/8” (3.5 mm) mini plug. The Main audio out is muted when the headphone plug inserts into this jack, but the output to the Fixed–Rec jacks remains live.

Note: Please lower the volume level on the Model 2100 before unplugging your headphones to avoid an unexpected loud blast of sound that could damage your speakers.

TRIGGERING OTHER COMPONENTS ON/OFF

12V Trigger Out

There is one 12 volt trigger output and one input. The output can be used to turn on power ampliﬁers and other equipment that are equipped with automatic turn-on inputs. Connect the Model 2100’s 12V output jack to the triggered component’s trigger input jack using the provided trigger wire with the 2.5 mm sub-mini plugs.

Note: Most Parasound Power Ampliﬁers are equipped with a 2.5

mm“sub-mini” 12V trigger input jack. The trigger voltage source is DC and the trigger plug tip is + (positive) and its sleeve – (negative). The trigger output has a maximum current capacity of 150 mA. Parasound power ampliﬁer trigger inputs require a mere 15 mA.

AUTO TURN ON

12V Trigger In

The 12V trigger input can be used to turn the Model 2100 power on automatically. In this case the Model 2100 would be turned on and off by another device such as a home automation system.

Note: When the Auto Turn On switch is set to 12V or AC the front panel Power button and remote control On and Off buttons are disabled.

AC Power Trigger

The Model 2100 will turn on automatically when its AC power source is switched on. To use AC auto turn on ﬁrst set the Auto Turn On switch to its AC position.
