I only want to turn on my Outlaw ICBM with the trigger. I have separate switches for my amplifiers.

OK, I just ordered the solution. I hope! Go to Amazon and search for: loT relay. This will accept the lower trigger voltage of 5 volts. The unit specs show it operating 3-48VDC or 12-120VAC trigger.

My 976 will still not turn my amp on. Will getting this alternate trigger from Amazon help?

Note: trigger output 2 is defaulted to OFF for all inputs; trigger out 1 defaults to ON. If you are not using output 1, ensure you have trigger 2 set to ON for each input.

Not to derail the thread too much, but is it a mono cable? It needs to be. If it is, leave one end connected to the Model 976 and have the other end open-ended; use a multi-meter to ensure you have 5VDC at the other end of the cable. If not, you can always remove the cable, from the pre-amp, and check for continuity between the two ends of the trigger cable. If you have your 5V in the first place, time to contact the amp manufacturer.

The DLI IoT should also work, but check with the amp manufacturer. Customer's reported the trigger input, on the IoT Amazon page, working with 3.3V. The 976's trigger therefore should energize the relay in the IoT and take your normally open outlets and close them. Essentially, the amp has to have an always ON option, rather than just a standby state, and when the pre-amp triggers the IoT, it will then send the ~120VAC to the outlet the amplifier is plugged into.

Please feel free to email me at customerservice@outlawaudio.com .

I got the IOT relay today and it does the job. My 976 now is able to turn on my Outlaw Audio ICBM using the 5VDC trigger.

Hi, I’m new to the thread. I have my 976 connected to a pair of mono block 2200’s and could not get the trigger to work. Had to use the audio detect feature of the 2200 to get the trigger to work. I was about to connect my 976 to a 7140, but noticed this thread. Is it going to work? If the 976 only has a 5V signal?

@Audiouser,

Just to be clear, are your saying that your Outlaw Audio Model 976 can not turn on your Outlaw Audio Model 2200's using the built-in trigger connection? Is that correct?

Regards,

John

Yes, so far that’s what I have found. The 2200 has an audio signal detect that will bring it out of standby. After turning off the 976, or a few minutes of playing nothing, the 2200 goes into standby. I haven’t measured the voltage (yet), but will. I’m still unclear from the thread whether 5V is by design or is a flaw.

5V is by design. The 7140 should work as it is designed for 3-32 v trigger. The same applies to the version of the 2200 that is spec'd on the product page. Not sure why Outlaw went with 5V vice the old reliable 12V.
