Ayre Acoustics V-5XE - Manual (Page 9)

In the green “Standby” mode the output stage is
turned off, while the input circuitry remains
powered. This allows the unit to warm up quickly
for optimal sonic performance, while reducing the
power consumption from 120 watts to 20 watts.
Trigger Input
Use a 1/8" mini-phone plug
with a positive voltage of
between +5 and +12 VDC
at the tip to operate the trigger
input.
A trigger input is provided on the rear panel of the
V-5xe to allow for remote switching between the
green “Standby” and blue “Operate” modes. The
two trigger input jacks are wired in parallel. Either
jack can act as an input or a pass-through output to
allow for “daisy-chaining” of multiple devices.
The unit is shipped from the factory in the
level-sensitive mode, which is compatible with most
equipment. During level-sensitive operation,
applying a voltage to the trigger input will turn the
amplifier to the “Operate” mode. When the applied
voltage drops to zero, the unit reverts to “Standby.
