SONAMP® 875D SE 8-CHANNEL AMPLIFIER

System 5: Automatic Input Switching Between Sources Using an AL2 Selector

Features: Automatically selects iPort when iPod is played • Automatically activates BBE when iPod i s played

By feeding two sources through a Sonance AL2 Automatic Secondary Source Selector, the system will automatically select the INPUT B source whenever the iPort/iPod is playing. By connecting the 875D SE’s BBE CONTROL OFF/ON switches to the AL2’s CONTROL OUTPUT, BBE processing is automatically activated whenever the iPod plays. When the iPod stops playing the input automatically switches back to the CD changer and the 875D SE’s BBE processing switches OFF.
