Going active - 12V trigger out on 172xs?

Posted by: Wadkri on 16 November 2016

Hi,

Planning to go active and reduce the amount of boxes in my hifi-rack. I currently own a 172xs (great product), hence looking for some nice compact active speakers. Beolab 3 with a Beolab 2 sub is on the radar however it seems like the sub requires a 12v trigger out signal from the pre. I've been looking for that connector at the back of my 172, but can't find one. Any ideas on how to solve this?

Grateful for suggestions!

If it really needs a 12v trigger, then just connect a simple 12v PSU to the trigger which will make it permanently active.

Or use a programmable remote control eg Logitech
