Power up a subwoofer when power up D200
#1
Hi, I'm trying to figure out a way to power up my sub when I power up my D200. I've tried to use a trigger cable from D200 trigger input to my sub trigger input, and also checked "trigger out" on all audio inputs, plus wifi, Ethernet, and it didn't work. Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong?

Is the "D200 trigger output" turned on in your configuration

Well, all my signal inputs (Ethernet, Lines, opticals, WiFi) have the option "Trigger out" checked. But I also checked "Trigger in" Input (the rightmost down input on Devialet's back). I'll unckeck this input, to see if it will work as "Trigger Out".

It didn't work at all. I've tried with the "Trigger in" input checked and unchecked and my subwoofer remained silent. Either I'm doing something very wrong or it's a bug.

Recommend checking that you are using the right type of cable/connector. I believe there is a KB Document on the Devialet site.

Yes, I've read the documentation yesterday and noticed that Devialet uses a trigger cable with P2 "stereo" plugs:

I think it's the only equipment in the world that uses this. All other use P2 "mono" plugs, because they have two inputs, one for "trigger in" and other for "trigger out":

And above all that, my sub expects 12V between ground (the largest portion, near the black cover) and the tip of the plug, and the Devialet 200 sends 12V between the middle part and the ground. I've tested with a multimeter. I'll have to make a special cable with the middle and the tip exchanged on one side to see if it works.

Well, it worked. I've made a special cable, with a P2 mono on subwoofer's side and P2 stereo on Devialet 200's side.

The tip of subwoofer's plug is connected to the middle of Devialet's plug.
The bottom of subwoofer's plug is connected to the bottom of Devialet's plug.
And the tip of Devialet's plug is not used.

And now, when I power up my D200, after it finishes its initialization, then my subwoofer is powered up.

Glad to hear. The plug also gave me some problems.

This is the cable I've made.
