1723 Amplifier settings – Best practice for Dual Source
Article summary
- Use one source with a 12V trigger signal for optimal setup.
- Combine XLR and RCA inputs for your dual source system.
- Adjust settings individually for RCA and XLR inputs via the menu.
- Choose from 8 modes for the Dual Source function based on output needs.
- Enhance your audio-visual setup with the 1723 Tower THX for exceptional sound quality.
Here are the settings we recommend for Dual Source purposes, specifically stereo setups combined with Home Cinema setups. Please look at individual Stereo or Home Cinema best practice for further information about each setup.
This guide should be read in conjunction with the Amplifier Operation Manual in the handbook.
The first thing you have to consider is that one source must have a 12V trigger signal, and you must use XLR signal from one source while using RCA signal from the other source (you can use adapters if you for example only have RCA from both sources).
-
Menu
- When you press the menu button, you will be prompted whether you want to apply settings for RCA or XLR. These settings do not affect Input/Turn-on settings, but they affect Levels, Crossover and Parametric EQ. This means you have to individually set the right settings for your RCA input(s) and your XLR input(s). The settings will automatically follow the input when switching.
-
Input/Turn-on
- There are 8 different modes for Dual Source function, choose the right mode depending on how many outputs (1 or 2) you have from each source, and which one has the 12v trigger signal.
Thats it. Please see our other guides for Stereo or Home Cinema settings.
Frequently asked questions
What settings do I need for a Dual Source audio setup?
For a Dual Source setup, ensure one source has a 12V trigger signal. Use XLR from one source and RCA from the other. You can use adapters if necessary.
How do I switch between RCA and XLR settings?

How many modes are available for Dual Source function?
There are 8 different modes for the Dual Source function. Choose a mode based on the number of outputs (1 or 2) from each source and which one includes the 12V trigger signal.
Why do I need to refer to the Amplifier Operation Manual?
The Amplifier Operation Manual provides essential information and detailed guidance necessary for optimizing your audio setup, especially when combining stereo and home cinema systems.
Can I use RCA inputs for both sources?
Yes, you can use RCA for both sources with the appropriate adapters if needed, but remember that one source must still provide a 12V trigger signal.
What should I do if I want to adjust levels for each input?
You need to set levels individually for RCA and XLR since they require separate configurations for optimal performance.
Are there other resources available for Stereo or Home Cinema settings?
Yes, please refer to our additional guides specifically focused on Stereo or Home Cinema settings for more detailed instructions.
