Amp & Preamp (3)

In some applications, the speaker outputs from the power amplifier are used as source signals for devices such as REL sub woofer. For such application, usually the receiving devices should have DC offset blocking capability because some amplifier by design has floating ground (DC offset) on the speaker outputs.The following models have no DC offset on the amplifier speaker outputs and the negative terminal is also the ground: NuPrime STA-9, MCH-K38, IDA-6, IDA-16, STA-9X, AMG STAThe following models’ speaker outputs can not be connected directly to sub woofer input: NuPrime Reference 20, ST-10, IDA-8, ST-10M, Evolution One, Evolution Two, Evolution STA, AMG One, MCX-1,2,3,4REL has provided instructions for connecting Class-D amp with floating speaker outputs to their sub woofers, please contact REL. All currently shipping REL sub woofers can be connected directly to any Nuprime amps.

IDA-8 is an extremely popular and award winning integrated amp. New users are welcome to read this long topic on audiocircle.com: http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=134697.0

When a device has a 12V trigger input, it is designed to be turned on when a 12V is detected. You can use any standard male to male 3.5mm (3-pin type) cable.

The Tip section is +12V, the bottom Sleeve section is GND, and the middle Ring section is not used. Nuprime’s trigger design uses 3.5mm stereo cable pin 1 and pin 3. A mono trigger cable shorts pin 2 and pin 3, it can be used to connect the Nuprime device to another device’s trigger that only uses a mono cable.
