Rotel 12V Trigger Wire Question

[Sail-A-Wai]

I want to have my amp come one when I turn on the pre-amp and need to find the correct 12v trip wire. Went to Radio Shack and they said it was a mono-mini plug.

Did not work - any chance it requires a stereo mini-plug

Thanks Rik

sail,

3.5mm cable is the same as a 12v trigger.

Sail-A-Wai,

Wierd. The 3.5mm mini-plug/12v trigger cable should work. I use a stereo mini plug on my amps because my amps have separate lights on them tha the stereo part of the mini-plug controls.

With Rotel, I only needed to use a 3.5 mm mini-plug. You might contact your dealer. It's possible the trigger mechanism is faulty. Hopefully not though.


Hope this helps.

Not sure of your model numbers, but either a stereo or mono cable will work fine. Some things to check:

If your amp as a trigger switch, make sure it's on the ON position.

Some processor's needed to have the triggers setup in the INPUT menu.

Keep in mind the power light on the amplifier will not turn off. You should hear some clicking and see the protection lights flicker as the amp turns on/off.

My amp is a Rotel RB-1080 - the mono cable is not working should I go get a stereo mini

Won't make a difference. What about the other things I listed.

Make sure your mono plug from Radioshack is not "attenuated". That model would not work because it reduces current I think. I exchanged it for a regular one and then it worked fine.

Is it possible to run a 12 volt (RMB 1095)trigger into a 24 volt in (Panamax Line conditioner)? I ordered one of these: Panamax M5300 ex And would like it to get started up via trigger instead of pushing the front panel button everytime I power up.Any help aprreciated...Thanks!

12 volts work just fine with Panamax. What it says on the back is a range of 3 volts to 24 volts. You will be fine.
