Proficient Audio Systems M80 - Pre-Out; Trigger out

37
Pre-Out
When conguring the M80 as a 7.1 or 5.1 surround system, connect the Pre-Out S/W (Subwoofer) jack to the LFE or line level input
on a powered subwoofer as shown in Diagram 7 on Page 24 and described on Page 25. (Required for 5.1 or 7.1 conguration.)
Connect the remaining Pre-Out jacks on the M80 Rear Panel to an external amplier for high output audio in large rooms or when
using speaker systems that require additional power. (Option)
7.1 System
1. Using a 7.1 audio patch cable (eight RCA-RCA plugs; or 4 identical stereo RCA-RCA patch cables) with gold ends, connect
the PRE-OUT jacks on the M80 to the appropriate line level audio INs on the external amplier(s). (A proper 7.1 Cable will
have color coded RCA plugs that match the color coding on the PRE-OUT jacks.)
2. Do not connect the S/W Out on the M80 to the amplier unless the amp is going to power the subwoofer.
3. Conrm proper connection of audio channels from the M80 to the amplier(s). Improper connections will have an ad-
verse eect on surround sound performance.
4. Connect the external amplier(s) to speakers as appropriate.
5.1 System
1. Using a 5.1 audio patch cable (six RCA-RCA plugs; or 3 identical stereo RCA-RCA patch cables) with gold ends, connect the
PRE-OUT jacks on the M80 to the appropriate line level audio INs on the external amplier(s), and do not connect the BSR
(Surround Back Right) and BSL (Surround Back Left) Out jacks on the M80 to the amplier. (A proper 5.1 Cable will have
color coded RCA plugs that match the color coding on the PRE-OUT jacks.)
2. Do not connect the S/W Out on the M80 to the amplier unless the amp is going to power the subwoofer.
3. Conrm proper connection of audio channels. Improper connections will have an adverse eect on surround sound per-
formance.
4. Connect the external amplier(s) to speakers as appropriate.

Trigger Out
The M80 Trigger Out is a 12VDC control voltage that can
be used to turn an external device such as a powered
subwoofer (Diagram 7, Page 24) or external amplier
ON/OFF as congured in Source Setup.
There are three selectable modes in the Setup Menu/

source selection as congured in the Source Setup.
Main - Turns the Trigger OUT ON/OFF with M80 ON/OFF
Status.
Zone 2 - Turns the Trigger OUT ON/OFF with Zone 2
ON/OFF Status.
To connect the Trigger Out:
1. Using a 3.5mm mini-plug, connect the tip to the
+12VDC Control IN on the external device to be
controlled. (If using a specic connector or plug,
conrm the polarity of the device and the connec-
tor.) Diagram 20
