12 Volt Trigger Wiring and Usage
Should you wish to have your DPA-2 power on via a trigger signal from the DDP-2 or other similarly equipped
preamp, you will need to wire to the trigger jacks (Fig 1). The DPA-2 has trigger pass-thru so a trigger signal sent
to the amplifier can then be output to the next product you wish to be controlled. In the case of mono DPA-2
the trigger output of one amplifier would be fed to the trigger input of the second to assure that both amplifiers
power up upon powering the preamp. The correct trigger cable is a 3.5mm MONO mini jack, wired where Tip is
(+) and Sleeve is (-). A 3.5mm STEREO mini jack can also be used.
If you are planning on using the Trigger function you need to activate the Trigger mode from the display. Press
and hold the SELECT button for 5 seconds to display this screen as shown in Fig 2. After a few seconds the
display will change to "12V Trigger On", and then go blank. It will awaken upon application of +12Volts to the
trigger input. If you wish to turn off the 12V Trigger, press and hold the SELECT button for 5 seconds and the
display will read "12V Trigger Off".
