What is a trigger cable for amp?

basically it is a low voltage signal that becomes active when you turn a preamp on so that the power amp will power on at the same time without being manually switched on, kind of like a wired remote control. very handy in aftermarket mobile audio amplifiers.

Will stereo cables work trigger?

You absolutely can use a stereo cable. Here a couple of datasheets to a couple Kobiconn connectors.

What does trigger mean on an amplifier?

A trigger is a device that facilitates simultaneously powering on and off multiple components within a larger stereo or home theater system. For example, use a trigger to automatically turn on a projector, receiver, amplifier, AV processor, TV speakers, and more when you activate a single device.

What is a trigger input?

It is an active circuit which converts an analog input signal to a digital output signal. The circuit is named a trigger because the output retains its value until the input changes sufficiently to trigger a change.

What is a trigger wire for?

The trigger wire would be for activating an external amp. Basically it tells the amp the stereo is on and it should turn on too. The accessory wire is what triggers the stereo to turn on when your ignition key is in the “accessory” position.

What is a 12V trigger output?

The 12v trigger is an output from the amp. A typical useage would be for a projector maybe you want the screen to come down when you output to the projector. The 12v signal would tell the screen to come down. I used it to control a fan to cool my amp the 12v controlled a relay to turn the fan on and off with the amp.

What are trigger cables?

Power trigger cables for connection between e.g. amplifier and subwoofer, or pre- and power amplifier, so the units turn on and off together.

What is a 12v trigger?

The 12 Volt Trigger is a powerful feature that comes equipped on all MSB powerbases and amplifiers. This simple 3.5mm mini-jack connection allows you to create a simple network between all of your MSB powerbases and amplifiers for a more seamless power up and standby experience.

What is an audio trigger?

Audio triggers, if you haven’t heard of them before, are a really simple idea: press a button, it plays a sound. Fancy ones have multiple buttons, and fancier still ones can have loops, stop/start controls and a whole bunch more.

What is the function of Schmitt trigger?

The function of the Schmitt trigger is to convert any regular or irregular shaped input waveform into a square wave output voltage or pulse. Thus, it can shape a wave and also called as a squaring circuit and can be used as square wave generator.

How to find a 12V trigger cable?

Pretty much. It just passes a “on” or “off” signal to the device it is connected to. My monoblocks use a Marantz specific trigger that uses RCA from the receiver, and I simply daisy chain them to turn each one on, so one cable to the first amp then from that amp to the next, etc…

How does a trigger work on a speaker?

If it’s an amp being triggered, presumably it is wired to speakers that are in either one zone or the other. In this case, you’d select only the zone in which the speakers are wired to the amp, requiring one trigger.

What kind of cable does a preamplifier use?

Power trigger cables for connection between e.g. amplifier and subwoofer, or pre- and power amplifier, so the units turn on and off together. Mono 3.5 mm. Jack trigger cable for use between preamplifiers and amplifers/subwoofers. – SEE MORE

Are there 12V triggers 1 / 8 ” mini mono plugs?

Aren’t 12v triggers 1/8″ mini-mono plugs? If they are here is what you need. Someone might need to chime in on this before you buy it though, but I am pretty sure I read that recently (99%). Yes, those will both work.
