Application Suggestions Examples
Simple trigger control
The Mini-X A-100 is connected to a pair of speakers and receives its input from a stereo
preamp. The preamp has a trigger output, which is connected to the Trigger Input on the
A-100. The AC Power switch on the A-100 is set to On, and the Power Mode switch is set to
Off.
The A-100 remains in Standby mode as long as the preamp is off. When the preamp is
switched on, its trigger output becomes active, which switches the A-100 On. When the
preamp is switched off, the A-100 returns to Standby mode.
Audio signal control
The Mini-X A-100 is connected to a pair of speakers and receives its input from a stereo
preamp. The preamp does NOT have a trigger output. The AC Power switch on the A-100 is
set to On, and the Power Mode switch is set to Auto.
The A-100 remains in Standby mode as long as the preamp is off. When the preamp is
switched on and starts playing, the A-100 senses the audio signal and switches On. When
the signal is no longer present, the A-100 waits for a brief period of time and then returns to
Standby mode.
