The signal from the MONO VAR OUTPUT jack is ideal for driving a powered subwoofer, enabling the local system to
deliver improved bass performance that will greatly enhance the listening experience when playing film soundtracks or musical performance videos.
Volume changes made with the
Voltage Trigger Connections
When the ASAP3D SE’s VOLT trigger mode switch is set to the ON position, the source can be switched from House to Local by an external trigger voltage appearing at the VOLTAGE TRIGGER IN connections (see Figure 12). The trig- ger voltage must be between 5V and 24V, either AC or DC, usually supplied by the Status output from an IR control system.

The VOLTAGE TRIGGER OUT connection (see Figure 12) supplies a 12V DC trigger signal whenever the Local source is ON. This trigger can be used to control other devices, such as Sonance AL2/AS2 automatic secondary switches, other Sonamps or 12V DC relays.

IR Input
The IR INPUT connection (see Figure 13) allows the ASAP3D SE’s Local/House source switching to be triggered by an IR signal from a keypad controller or other IR control device.

VOLT: The presence of a 5 ~ 24V AC or DC external control voltage at the VOLTAGE TRIGGER input will switch the ASAP3D SE to the Local source. See Voltage Trigger Connections, next column.
AC: The ASAP3D SE will switch to the Local source when a TV set that is connected to the ASAP3D SE’s AC Trigger Outlet is turned ON. See AC Trigger Outlet, on page 8.
