The DAT1
The Bobwire DAT1 will simplify your AV installation by providing a 12V trigger to turn On/Off amplifiers, cooling fans, AV selectors or other accessories. It works by monitoring a digital optical audio signal and then activating one of the two different 12V outputs if the source is powered on or if audio is playing. This is particularly useful for music streaming devices that are connected directly to a power amplifier such as the Sonos Connect™, Amazon Echo Link™ or Google ChromeCast Audio™. Some audio amplifiers have audio sensing circuits, but these are not always reliable, especially at lower listening levels. The Bobwire DAT1 will reliably trigger and turn on an amplifier every time as soon as the connected source starts playing audio regardless of the volume level. The superior built-in hi resolution 192kHz 24-bit DAC will also improve the overall sound quality improving your listening experience. The DAT1 can be used with any AV device that has an optical output including music streamers, TVs, CD/DVD/Blu-ray players, computers, Bluetooth receivers, airport express™ and video streamers. PLEASE NOTE: THE DAT1 WILL NOT TURN ON YOUR SOURROUND SOUND RECIEVER (they dont have 12V trigger inputs).
