According to the 1050 manual the receiver outputs a 6V DC trigger output. This seems correct, as according to my multimeter the voltage is 5.94 VDC. I am trying to use it to trigger the switched outlets on a Monster HTS3000, which requires a 9-12V, 300mA trigger. Is there any way to "boost" the voltage of the Outlaw's trigger output? Thanks.

Well Scott replied to my email and pointed me towards Niles Audio. They have the OTI-512 which takes a 3-30V trigger and outputs it as a 12V trigger. Now I just have to find someone who carries it

FYI. I bought the OTI-512 and it works like a champ. This item may also be useful if you are splitting your triggers and are worrying about the delivered current.

On another matter, when I first hooked up the trigger cable between the 1050 and my HTS-3000 there was a loud hum induced . I am using RS mic. cable for the trigger. I then connected the shield to ground/neutral on the 1050 side of the plug and left it unconnected on the HTS-3000 side. The hum all but disappeared. Nice to know that electronic theory sometimes works.

The monster box also has a triggered AC input, but since the 1050 does not have a switched outlet, that's partially moot. However, my cable box does have a switched output, therefore triggering works fine, as long as I have the cable box and the 1050 on at the same time.

You could up the trigger voltage/current to anything you wanted with a wall transformer of the desired voltage and a transistor circuit. One of these days, I'm going to do it, as its pretty simple and would allow me to get rid of the cable box.

Just a couple of cheap thoughts, in case the Niles solution is pretty expensive.
