MC-1 trigger connection

[Bob Santos]

I have yet to hook up the MC-1's remote trigger to power up my Citation amps. There was a thread on Digital Theater started by Ricky that I figured I would reference when the time came, but that forum seems to be down fror the past few days.
Just a quick check before I screw something up
If I remember correctly it was negative wire to ground, and positive wire to program. If any of you MC-1 users can confirm this that would be great.

Thanks,
Bob

Bob, what kind of trigger are you connecting to? 110 plug, mini-audio? what?

I don't recall exactly how mine is wired, but I could probably check. What I did was just buy a mini phono cable, cut the plug off on one end and bare wire it. With the MC-1, I don't think you could mess anything up, if you reverse it, it might not work, but let me research a bit and get back here... Before you do anything!

Bob, after thinking about this, I believe it has to be ground to negative, then positive to program, that's because that's where the trigger is sent, so it has to be positive.

I didn't verify this anywhere, but if your still uncomfortable, let me know.

Check your manual for both devices, if you have them just to verify that I am right.

Lex, The Citation's use a 1/8 mini phono plug.
I have a cable I used with my Ref 30 that I plan on cutting/ stripping the end to use on the lex side. I thought it was Positive to program, negative to ground. Just wanted to double check.
The system is up and running, I just have a few little things like this still left to do.
I also havent instaled my rear surrounds for 7.1 yet. Hopefully I will be able to find the time tomorrow.
So far using it in 5.1 I love the MC-1.

Thanks for the help Lex
