twmoonly Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I have a situation where we used the 16x16 audio matrix and 2 TruAudio Amps. How can I trigger the amps to turn on when an audio/video zone is being played and off when not used. We are having issues with the amp turning off when it is set to auto and we don't want to keep it on all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Lowe Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 use the 12 volt trigger from the relay on the controller to the amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twmoonly Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 How do program that? Just a macro if any zone is on?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Lowe Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 essentially when the room power comes on trigger the relay for and each room triggers the relay, but only power off when all rooms are off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSDave Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Just install a driver for the new non-matrix power amps. It can control the relay with a bound connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duck_man Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Did the same thing recently with 15 zones of MR across 3 10 channel amps (actually 11 channel Yamahas, designed for theater and not using the 11th channel...) it was quite simple. When ANY zone on the amplifier turns on, close the relay for the trigger. When a zone turns off, a little simple programming: When zone 1 turns off if zone 2 is off if zone 3 is off if zone 4 is off if zone 5 is off open relay Obviously this isn't 100% accurate, just a general idea of how I did it.

RAV Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 As LS-Dave said...use the Control4 non-matrix amp driver, it has a relay and the logic to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
