Nice 12V trigger splitter

[8bits]

It may be useful to people like me, where we have multiple devices with a 12V trigger input that we would like to trigger from one source.
In the past, I used those cable splitters, which worked but were ugly and couldn't scale to too many outputs before looking like an octopus.

I discovered this multiplex device on Amazon that is pretty small, sleek, inexpensive and can output to 5 devices. I have been using it for the past week and it works well. I am not sure how it will hold up in the long term, but judging by the quality of the casing and the simplicity of the device it might hold up to the test of time.

Hi, so I am using minidsp HTx flex with 4 monoblock amps and said amps have trigger input and thru but I it only works with up to 2 amps when connecting in series like that(minidsp to amp1, amp 1 to amp2 etc.). If I conenct third or 4th amp it stops working. Does anyone happen to know if it will work with this device as it is more like connecting in parallel than in a series?

No power supply so it connects all loads in parallel. Most trigger outputs have limited drive capability. I use an Emotiva ET-3 trigger repeater plus a homebrew kludge to keep from loading my AVR/AVP trigger too heavily. I know a couple of cases where people destroyed their AVR's trigger output using it to drive a fan...

Agree, this thing working might be a hit and miss - completely random. Still thanks to the OP as I will use it for a different application case.
