Post Subject: The remote start option.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 6/12/2015

Hm, I am not sure that pedal is what I would do juts for a full range Milq. The 6-ch Milq is architectural monster and to use a pedal for it is sensible as the PS is separate and in inconvenient to reach location. In a full range everything is “right there” and it is easy to reach. The best that I would do would be the implement a remote starter, or some kind of 12V jack, sorting of which would kick in the initialization sequence for the power amp. This way you could bring both of those feed to the preamp and will be able to stat them. This option does not exclude a pedal if you wish to use it.

The Magnecraft relay that I mention above is obsolete I think (you still can buy it) but there are plenty alternative, including from Magnecraft. The selection of 12V or 120V, DC or AC is completely on you. If you go not for 120VAC then you would need another transformer. I took 12V 2A wall adopter (that has a transformer and rectification bridge), took the plastic cover off and just mounted and in the amps’ PS. So, my 6-ch Melquiades is powered by a telephone wall adopter.
