(or use RCA unbalanced outputs as needed)

If your amplifier has XLR inputs, it can be connected to the balanced audio outputs as shown. It is prefer- able to use the XLR connections if you have this option, because they of- fer superior noise rejection compared to unbalanced (RCA) connections, especially for long cable runs.

User's Manual

This diagram shows a Sunfire TGA-7400 seven-channel amplifier. The TGP-5 side-axis outputs can be connected to other amplifiers, and its subwoofer output can connect to a powered subwoofer.

You can also use a Sunfire TGA- 5400 or TGA-5200 amplifier, which have five channels, or use separate amplifiers for each pair.

This diagram also shows the TGP-5 12 VDC trigger output connected to the 12 VDC trigger input of the Sunfire amplifier. The amplifier automatically turns on whenever the TGP-5 main zone is turned on.
