- Page 4 During initial power connections, the LED may illuminate for a brief period. Auto Turn-On Detect Jumpers: By default, the link2 is set to detect both DC- offset and audio signal for turning itself on/off automatically. These jumpers allow either mode to be independently defeated for cases where only one turn-on mode is preferred or to bypass both modes when a switched +12V trigger is available and connected to the REM IN terminal.
- Page 5 Input signals ranging from 2Vrms to 20Vrms will produce up to 10Vrms RCA output from maximum to minimum gain. For factory amplifiers with more than 20Vrms signal or if the link2’s output is too high for the connected aftermarket amplifier(s) with all gains at minimum, internal jumpers are available to reduce the input sensitivity range by half (-6dB) for 4Vrms up to 40Vrms.
- Page 6 Remote Input (REM IN): If a switched +12V or remote trigger wire is available, it is recommended to connect it to the REM IN terminal. If a trigger wire is unavailable, the link2 also has an auto turn-on circuit that simultaneously detects audio signal and DC-offset from the source. While auto turn-on will work well in most applications, a +12V trigger may be required for satisfactory results under certain vehicle or system conditions.

Note: When using a receiver’s internal power IC to drive speakers directly and provide the link2 with signal, note that its speaker outputs will likely clip before reaching the maximum volume setting. Adjust gain settings accordingly for optimum unclipped volume range. -

The link2’s internal jumper locations and default settings are shown in the illustration below. To access these jumpers, simply remove the two top screws from each end panel and loosen two bottom screws on one side in order to easily remove the chassis top cover.
