Review on 🔌 BobWire DAT1 with 12V Trigger: Supporting SONOS Connect, Echo Link, ChromeCast Audio, TV, Optical Audio Out Devices. Auto Power On for Amplifiers & Fans. Not Suitable for AV Receivers. by Chris Hamim

I have a 3 zone speaker system with ceiling speakers in 3 different rooms. I am using 3 Sonos Connects connected to a 6 channel amp (3 zones) and a subwoofer amp. I've had this system for years and left the power amps on all the time as Sonos didn't automatically turn on the amps. Some of my amps have modes that automatically detect when a tone is playing, but that doesn't always work. My Klipsch amp in particular won't turn on until the volume gets too loud in Audio Sense mode. And then sometimes the Klipsch amp cuts out when I turn it down which is so annoying! The amps have 12V trigger inputs, but the Sonos don't have 12V outputs. This Bobwire DAT1 solves that problem for me by telling my amps when to turn on and off. Since I have 3 zones, I use three DAT1 to turn on/off each zone. Amplifiers will now automatically turn on within a second or two of pressing the play button in the Sonos app. They will then stay on for 30-40 seconds after the music has stopped. I used to store my amps in a closet, but sometimes they overheated. I experimented with DAT1's fan power and it worked fine. I split the 12V signal to turn on the amp and fan at the same time. The video shows this in action. Nothing more to say except that this thing works great!
