Low voltage on trigger out? Rmb-1585

[prk504]

Does anyone here use the trigger out on the pm back of the rmb1585?

I'm only getting 8.75v from the trigger out per my multimeter. My marantz is showing a full 12v.

Does anyone else have low voltage from the trigger out on any of their Rotel Amps?

Thanks

Confirmed... Rotel has low output trigger voltage.

After emailing with Rotel (B&W) support, the trigger out on all of their 1585 models is only 8.7V. Also, they said their amps will take a trigger voltage down to 2.5v to turn on, which is good. If I needed to trigger something else that with the amp trigger output, then they recommended http://www.powerswitchtail.com/ which is a trigger switched 15amp outlet that can accept down to 3v for under $30

So moral of the story, either Rotel's manuals are just wrong or their amps are all manufactured incorrectly...that being said their support department is responsive.
