12V Trigger Connections
The 12 VDC trigger connection shown can be used to turn the
amplier on when the preamplier turns on. This trigger will
actually trigger with any switched DC Voltage from 5-12 VDC,
however the majority of audio components use a standard 12
VDC trigger connection for this function. This is the preferred
connection as it has the greatest degree of reliability.
Speaker Output Connections
The insulated speaker output terminals for each amplier
channel are located right next to the RCA and XLR inputs.
The top post of each binding post pair is the positive
output, and connects to the positive (red) post of your
speaker. The bottom post of each pair is the negative, and
connects to the negative (black) post of your speaker.
Regardless of the speaker conguration used for the RPA-1
amplier channels, proper connection of each speaker is
essential. The 5-way binding posts can accept bare wire,
spade terminals, and dual or single banana connectors.
Spade connections or banana plugs ensure a simple, solid
t in the terminal whereas bare wire may be awkward when
the terminal is screwed down to compress the wire into
place. Keep in mind that if you use “dual banana” plugs and
“stack” them, you will be creating a parallel connection
and this amplier is not rated to play below 4 Ohms per
channel.
Never switch anything that plugs
directly into the wall with this trigger
connection. This action will damage
the unit and VOID THE WARRANTY.
