Classe CA-101 Remote turn on Module?


I recently purchased a pre-owned Classe CA-101, on the back it has a phone style jack where a remote trigger module would plug in to turn on the amp with my pre-amp, It does not have the newer style 1/8" mini plug 12 volt trigger input. Classe does not make these anymore, does anyone know where I can still buy one, or how to modify the amp to be able to use a 12volt trigger?

Thanks

Soundgravy,
You are talking about the Classe RC-1 remote interface. The RJ12 phone style jack on the older model Classe amps were meant to work with the now discontinued RC-1. They are extremely hard to find. I know of no modification for the CA-101 but I have an RJ12 jack pinout wiring diagram and a simple circuit that came from Classe for a manual remote pigtail switch. The amp can be triggered in either of two ways - by an external manual switch with the amp supplying the 12V trigger or if you can find a means to apply a single 12V pulse to the RJ12 jack, this will trigger the amp. Each application of the 12V pulse will turn the amp on and off.
