Turn On Selector Switch
This switch allows you to select how the
amplifier will turn on and off.
This switch allows you to select how the
amplifier will turn on and off.
In the ON (Up) position, the switch on the
front of the amplifier is the method you
will use to power up and power down the
amplifier. Please note that in this configu-
ration, you must manually power up and
power down the amplifier each time you
use it or it will have unnecessary standby
current draw.

In the SIGNAL (Middle) position, the am-
plifier automatically turns on whenever it
senses an audio signal on any one of the
seven amplifier channels. The circuit stays
active for a full minute after the absence of
any audio signal to account for quiet pas-
sages of music or dialogue.

In the TRIGGER (Down) position, the ampli-
fier’s ON and OFF functions are controlled
by a trigger from a source or preamplifier
device. The trigger accepts 12 VDC and will
turn the amplifier on whenever a trigger is
present (See #5). When there is no trigger,
the amplifier goes into standby mode. This
is the preferred method for activating the
MPS-1.

External Trigger Connection
This external trigger connection allows
the amplifier to be turned ON and OFF by
a control device such as a source unit or
preamplifier. It can also be used with most
home automation controllers. The trigger
requires a 12 VDC trigger. This is the pre-
ferred method of activating the MPS-1. See
page 23 for connection details.

Fuse #1
This fuse is for the power supply of the MPS-
1 chassis. It is a TL15AL type rated a 15A, 250
V. If the fuse ever fails, be sure to replace it
with the same type and rated fuse.

IEC Line Cord Socket
The MPS-1 comes with a detachable line
cord which connects here. Plug the line
cord into an AC wall socket which is cor-
rectly configured with the voltage and
current supply specified for the MPS-1. Do
not plug this line cord into a power strip,
it must plug directly into a wall socket. For
more details on AC power considerations,
see page 19.
