12V Trigger Connections
The 12 VDC trigger connection shown can be used to
turn the amplier on when the preamplier turns on.
This trigger will actually trigger with any switched DC
Voltage from 5-24 VDC, however the majority of home
theater components use a standard 12 VDC trigger
connection for this function. This is the preferred con-
nection as it has the greatest degree of reliability.
Never switch anything that plugs directly into the
wall with this trigger connection. This action will
damage the unit and VOID THE WARRANTY.
If unable to use the trigger connection to activate
the IPS-1, you could alternatively use the amplier’s
SIGNAL switch position. The amplier will then au-
tomatically turn on when a preamp audio signal is
received.
Speaker Output Connections
The speaker output terminals for each amplier
channel are located just below the RCA input jack
and channel ID area. 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 conguration used for the IPS-
1 amplier 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.
Spade connections ensure a tidy and safe connection
to each speaker output binding post.
The trigger connection plug and turn-on selector
switch are located on the top right corner of the back
of the IPS-1 chassis
