12 Volt Remote Trigger  

 

The “12 Volt Remote Trigger” can turn the MOON W-6 mono power amplifier on or off by a hard 
wired remote connected to its input.  When correctly installed, the system allows the use of both the 
trigger and the push button to turn the W-6 on or off.   
 
Please note that the main rocker power

 

switch must be left on at all times to allow for the use of the 

12 Volt trigger.   
 
When the W-6

 is powered off, it can be powered on by either the trigger or the push button.  When 

the W-6

 is powered on, it can be powered off by the trigger. It can also be powered off by the push 

button, but only if the trigger isn’t in «on» mode. 

 

 

Working with the 12 Volt Trigger  

 

The 12 Volt Trigger input is on a 3.5 mm microphone jack (mono) loacted on the back panel of the 
MOON W-6.  With simple direct logic applied, 0V turns the unit off, and 12V turns the unit on. Input 
impedance is 300 ohms and the current required will be approximately 40 mA.  
 
Remember, the main rocker power switch must be left in the “on” position at all times to make use of 
the trigger possible. 

 
 

Recommendations 

 

If you are a professional custom installer, please take the time to carefully read this manual prior to 
starting any installations involving the MOON W-6 mono power amplifier. Pay particular attention to 
the “Installation Tips”

 

section on page 6. If you intend to mount the W-6 in an in-wall cabinet or 

other closed environment, remember that you have to ventilate the amplifier properly to prevent 
overheating.
