I'm using the Scosche LOC2SL Line Output Converter to connect the speaker output from my Whole Home Amplifier into a second Amplifier to power outdoor speakers. So, the LOC2SL converts the speaker level signal down to an RCA Left/Right Line Level Signal that can be used as an input into the Amp. The Scosche LOC2SL also has the ability to send a 12V trigger to the amplifier so that the amp only turns on when music is playing.
My issue:
Besides the wires to connect the speaker signal input and the RCA outputs to go from the LOC2SL to the Amp, the LOC2SL unit has a yellow wire to accept 12V+ as input, a blue wire to send 12V+ out to trigger the amp, and a black wire to connect to ground. The LOCSL (Line Output Converter) is designed to be used in a car and so the directions indicate that the Black ground wire should be connected to the car chassis.
My outdoor speaker amplifier, a Monoprice Unity 100 has a 3.5mm jack as an input to accept a 12V trigger to turn the amplifier on.
My plan is to use a wall wart 12V DC adapter to provide power to the LOC2SL and then use the LOC2SL to trigger the outdoor speaker amplifier. I can strip the end of the wire on the 12V DC adapter, but it will have 2 wires and so how would I connect that to the 12V+ Yellow Wire of the LOC2SL? Also, the LOC2SL has a single Blue wire for the 12V+ output and so how would I convert that to a 3.5mm plug to connect to the Monoprice Unity 100 3.5mm jack - usually the cable with a 3.5mm plug would have 2 wires in it, not just a single wire?
Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide!
