12v Trigger connection for Pass Labs X150.5


Hi all,

need some advice here, esp from Pass Labs amp users. The 12V trigger of the X150.5 has two binding posts (Red and Black) just like the speaker outputs, that means it takes only spades input.

some of the pre-amp with 12V trigger has only a single 1/8" output. how to connect it to the X150.5? 1/8" --> Spades? to red or black binding post?

i'm confused. pls assist.

Thank you.

Since the 12 volts is just going to a relay coil polarity is irrelevant. In my case I installed a 1/8 jack on a preamp that had only the screw terminals. If you don't want to modify equipment you need to cut off one end of a 1/8 phone plug cable and put spades on it (or just use the bare wire).
Spades are not absolutely necessary.

One alternative is to cut the plug off, strip a small amount of insulation, and connect the bare wire to the terminals.
