CONNECTING AN EXTERNAL DC SOURCE FOR
AUTOMATIC TURN ON-OFF
To automatically turn on and off the A 52 with an external DC voltage, choose the DC Triggering
option by moving the Auto Turn On switch on the rear panel to its lower 12
V position.
What You’ll Need:
• A cable with a 2.5 mm sub-mini plug on each end (provided)
• A “control” component with +9 V dc to +12 V dc trigger voltage
Before Connecting
❑ Remove Power to all the components in your audio system.
❑ Make sure the Auto Turn On switch on the A 52 rear panel is in its 12
V (down) position.
To Connect
1 Plug one end of the trigger wire into the 12 V Input jack on the A 52.
2 Plug the other end of this wire into the external DC source.

YOU SHOULD KNOW
If the device you want to use to control your A 52 doesn’t have a 2.5 mm trigger output
connector, you can cut one plug off the cable and terminate the end as required. The lead
with the red stripe is positive and the lead without the stripe is negative.
