Triggers

A REMOTE TRIGGER IN port allows all channels to turn on or mute simultaneously. The REMOTE TRIGGER INPUT
can receive 5-24 Volts AC or DC. The 12 Volt DC REMOTE TRIGGER OUT can be used to turn on other equipment,
additional A6s or other amplifiers, or to perform automated functions desired by the user. Use 3.5mm mono intercon-
nect cables to make Trigger connections.

SYSTEM TRIGGER IN

To mute/un-mute all channels simultaneously, connect a system-wide 5-24 Volt DC triggering source to the SYSTEM
TRIGGER IN port using a 3.5mm mono interconnect cable. Examples of triggering sources include an ELAN Multi-
Zone Controller's SYSTEM TRIGGER OUT or REMOTE OUT, an A/V receiver's switched outlet connected to a power
supply, or a +12VDC TRIGGER OUT from another ELAN amplifier.

SYSTEM TRIGGER OUT

Whenever the A2 is powered ON, the REMOTE TRIGGER OUT becomes active. This output sends a +12VDC 100mA
signal to other devices with a Trigger Input. Examples of proper usage of the REMOTE TRIGGER OUT include mut-
ing/un-muting other amplifiers, triggering the switched outlets of a Z•Power Controller, or triggering automated
®
events using ELAN Sense Sensors and VIA! SR-1 or SS1 devices.
