A12
INSTALLATION MANUAL

Triggers

Each channel pair of the A12 has its own Remote Turn On/Muting circuit (TRIGGER INPUTS 1/2-11/12). Individual
channel pairs can be muted or un-muted independently of any others. A SYSTEM TRIGGER IN port allows all chan-
nels to turn on or mute simultaneously. All TRIGGER INPUTS can receive 5-24 Volts AC or DC. The 12 Volt DC
SYSTEM TRIGGER OUT can be used to turn on other equipment, additional A12s or other amplifiers, or to perform
automated functions desired by the user. Use 3.5mm mono interconnect cables to make Trigger connections.
TRIGGER INPUTS 1/2-11/12
To Mute/Un-Mute specific pairs of channels, a zone-specific triggering source must be used. Any 5-24 Volt DC
source may be used to trigger these specific inputs. This application gives additional control in advanced systems.
Examples include: ZONE TRIGGER OUTPUTs from an ELAN Multi-Room Controller, multiple A/V receivers triggering
separate A12 inputs, or outboard sensors located in certain areas to trigger specific inputs of the A12.
