[rodgersorgan] Re: Rodgers 340 and its electronics/connections



Patrick,

If you send me your snail mail address, I will send you the wiring diagram 
for the amphenol plugs.

Two of the wires are for a low-voltage current to turn on and off the 
amplifier in the Rodgers speaker cabinet.  Two of the wires and for the 
audio signal.  Some of the pins are not used.

It is easy to hook another amplifier to the organ;however, you would have 
to turn the amplifiers on and off separately from the other speaker 
cabinets.  Of course, you could add relays to turn on and off the other 
amplifiers.

I am using some X-10 appliance modules to turn on and off amplifiers by 
wireless pushbutton.  This is the same system that is used to turn on and 
off lights, ceiling fans, etc. by remote control.
