Never make audio connections when power is applied to the amplifiers or any
other component.
To prevent damage to the Monster Amplifiers and other components, never make connections when power
is applied. Connect amplifiers to AC power last to ensure damage will not occur.
TRIGGER CONNECTIONS
The Monster Home Theater Music Reference Power Amplifiers feature remote trigger input and output to turn
the amplifier on/off with the receiver/preamp. These connections use a 1/8"-to-1/8" mono mini cable included
with the amplifier. For a receiver/preamp that does not have a remote trigger out, a power transformer is included
with the amplifiers as well. Refer to the amplifier specifications page for more information.
The remote trigger works on 3-30v AC/DC and the remote trigger out is 12V DC.
KNOWING THE CONNECTIONS
Before continuing with the connection of the Monster Power Amplifiers, please familiarize yourself with
the amplifier back panel. This will allow you to make the proper connections, prevent damage and ensure
you get the most enjoyment from your amplifiers.
Once you are familiar with the back panels follow the steps provided in the connection guide in order.
