Essential Info

The Niles Audio APC-2 Current Sensing Outlet Switcher is great way to automate turning on and off multiple plug-in devices at one time. In simplest terms, the unit senses when one device has been turned on and activates another outlet to automatically turn on other connected devices. For example, connect your home theater components to the Niles Audio APC-2 and then connect the Niles Audio APC-2 to the switched outlet on your amplifier or receiver. When you turn on the receiver the device automatically switches on the rest of the equipment. It's an easy way to turn your home theaters on and off, and the receiver becomes the only device in standby mode, saving energy. Please refer to the sample home theater application diagram. While this is just a sample application, other devices can be used in the same fashion.

Does exactly what it's supposed to do, namely a great way to add a switched outlet function to a component that doesn't have one. The current sensing trigger combined with the additional 12V DC trigger also allow for two separate components to separately and independently operate a third. Just a perfect way to make your A/V components easier to operate.
