I have my PA-1's, connected via XLR to XDA-2, signal in via USB from my desktop PC.
When the PA-1's are set to auto on, at lower volume, they turn back off & it takes a good turning up the volume for them to restart.
Asides from keeping them on, any workaround for this issue ?.
PS: same issue using RCA with adapters.

I have a similar problem with my Parasound amps. At night if I turn it way down, the amps will cut out.
At that point, I usuallly just plug in the headphones and be done.
If the level controls (one per amp channel) are after the sensing ciruict, I maybe able to turn them DOWN while actually turning the
preamp UP.

Well, on occasions one will shut off, while the other stays on. I don't know why Emotiva did not include in/out sensors like other amps....

Use a 12-volt signal booster, such as the Emotiva ET-3 ($39). Built-in source devices are intended to trigger (if I remember right) a maximum of two "receivers." When the voltage output is dragged down by the parallel resistance of the receivers, then you get marginal performance (as you're experiencing). A booster such as the ET-3 has its own power source, and will have enough grunt to drive multiple receivers without a problem.
Many manufacturers spend a minimum amount on their source components' trigger circuits, and some source components (regardless of brand) are "marginal."

The PA-1's have trigger in Boom ? where would I plug the trigger in cable ? |

They do not have one . Imo the PA-1's should to be left turned on - not auto on. They consume very little power. And I've noticed that when they are off they take some time to get to their regular tone. If they are just turned on from cold, it could take up to a day for the bright tone to reduce.

Ty, they sound bright Gar,. do they need a "break-in" to sound their best in you opinion ? . I just started using them a day ago. |

I'd have to dig the review up to be sure though... |

Leave them on for 48 hours. The brightness goes away completely.

Leave them on (not auto off) and don't turn them off. Most of it will go away in a day. More subtle effects will take another day. If you turn them off, you may have to do it all over again. |

Leave them on. No tubes to worry about🙂

I just started using a pair of PA-1’s as Atmos amps, I’m having the slow auto-on problem now, guess I’ll have to get another set of triggered outlets.
