Busy Output
Power Supply
The BooTunes has a busy output that becomes active when a triggered sound file is playing. This can be used to drive a relay connected to a light, solenoid, or other device you’d like to turn on during playback. The busy output can only output 100mA. DO NOT connect a solenoid directly to this output as they generally draw a minimum of 250mA.
POWER CAN BE SUPPLIED USING THE BARREL CONNECTOR OR THE TRIGGER TERMINAL BLOCK. THESE ARE CONNECTED INTERNALLY.

If you are supplying your own power supply it MUST be regulated. Unregulated power supplies rated for 24 VDC will output a much higher voltage than shown on the label when not under load. Any voltage above 24 VDC will damage the amplifier.

Selecting your Power Supply The BooTunes Amped can operate on any voltage from 12 to 24 volts DC. It draws about 50mA of current when the amplifier is not used, or up to 2.5A when it is. We recommend a 24 volt 2.5A (60 watt) power supply to get the most volume. A 12 volt power supply will still be loud, but you may hear distortion when approaching higher volumes.

Operation
Using the Amplified Speaker Outputs The BooTunes Amped includes a 50 watt (2 x 25 watt) Class D stereo amplifier. To take full advantage of this amplifier, the power supply needs to be 24 volts and have at least 50 watts of power. The left and right outputs can also be combined to output 50 watts into a single 4 ohm speaker. See the full manual for details.
When the BooTunes starts up it will immediately look in the AMBIENT folder located in the root of the SD card. If there’s a sound in there it will start playing it. Once that sound is done it will play the next one. Once all files in the folder have been played it will start back at the first one. If a trigger is activated any time during the playback of an ambient sound, the ambient sound is immediately cancelled and the triggered sound is played. Once a triggered sound is playing, any additional triggers will be ignored until the triggered sound finishes and the BooTunes returns to Ambient mode to start playing the next sound. These default behaviors can be changed by adjusting some settings, see the Settings section below.

The BooTunes has many powerful features that can be enabled by simply creating folders with special names. The folders must be located in either the SD Card’s ROOT folder, or the AMBIENT / INPUT# folders depending on the option. All folder names must start with the underscore as shown. Substitute any # characters with a number as directed. See the tables below for a list of available features. See the full manual online for more information.
