Bluesound Node - 12 trigger limitation

Dear Bluesound Support Crew,

Bluesound Node sends a single pulse to 12v trigger-out connector to toggle connected device ON/Standby. However many amps still require, not single pulse, but continuous current flow (e.g. 50mA) on the 12v trigger-in to keep the amp ON; when the 12v/50mA (or 5v/50mA) is gone, the amps goes back to Standby.

While Bluesound Node works perfectly fine with my Mark Levinson No.535 (single pulse 12v toggling), it can only turn on my Mark Levinson No.331, for one literal second (when the 5v or 12v signal is present).

With current hardware, is it possible to provide both options (i.e. continuous n single-pulsed) via a firmware update?

This will definitely wider your product supporting range as many many amps are still using continuous signals rather than single-pulsed when daisy-chain devices via 12v triggers.

  Hi Polo

  Blueosund players follow the industry standard when using the 12v trigger. Please contact your 3rd party manufacturer about a possible fault or update. Thanks for understanding.
