Hi peoples 🙂
I have an X1 preamp, I have never used the 12v amp turn on.
I have lent the preamp to a friend who wants to use this but it doesn't seem to function.
Hes put a dvm on the terminals, then selected 'amp on' through the menu.
But the voltage stays at zero.
From the owners manual.
"The rear mounted pair of five-way binding posts are intended to control the on/off function of our own X series power amplifiers from the X1's front panel, or via the four button remote. When the preamp mode "Amp" is selected it allows the user to switch a nominal 12 volts DC at maximum draw of 50 milliamps to these binding posts."
Are we doing something wrong ?
Or does it sound like there's a fault ?
Personally I suspect there's a small transistor that's failed.
But without the unit on my bench, It's just a guess right now 🙂
Thanks.

ok, we are in Papaland here , but it's still better (for you) to dial PL number or buzz on their e-mail thingie , at least when so fresh toy is in case
brainfart, regarding fresh
if "amp" function is enabled , and you have high on Q15 gate , there must be low on Q12 gate
check that
Wayne will chime in , if I'm wrong

LOL. Don't worry ZM. My brain makes plenty of rude noises all the time 🙂
When I have it back I will check said areas.
But that may be quite a while off though as my friend is really enjoying it.......

Closure post 🙂
Trigger output is in fact operating fine.
First the cable he was using was faulty.
Then the meter he used to test the 12v out was set incorrectly.
So yeah.
Ta for the help and suggestions.
