audio-design ix1000.1 User Manual

Automatic Turn-On Selection: The IX series offers three different automatic turn-on modes that can be 
selected on the end panel; +12V, DC Offset, and Audio. Using either the DC Offset or Audio mode causes the 
REM terminal to have +12V out for turning on additional amplifi ers.

•  

Remote Turn-On: Set the switch to +12V to use the remote turn-on lead from your source unit. Run 18 
gauge wire from the Remote Turn-On Lead on your source unit to the terminal labeled REM between the 
amplifi er’s positive and negative power terminals. This is the preferred automatic turn-on method. 

•  

DC Offset Turn-On: If Remote Turn-On is not an option, the next best setting is DC Offset. The DC Offset 
mode detects a 6V DC offset from the HI-Level speaker outputs when the source unit has been turned on.

•  Signal Sense Turn-On: The Audio setting is the fi nal alternative for Automatic turn-on. This is a Signal Sense 

turn-on method that detects the incoming audio signal from your source unit and automatically turns on the 
amp. This turn-on method will not work properly if the input gain control is not set appropriately.
