You do NOT need this adapter with any 2010 or later model amps, or with the 2009 ONE/TWO models with power supplies sold by us including the 30v/130w. It is designed to protect the power switch when high-current supplies are used on older (2009) amplifiers.
This unit is useless (it will provide no protection at all) unless it is used in the following manner:
Plug soft-start into back of amp
Turn on amp
Plug power supply into back of soft-start
To unplug, do the following:
Leave amp on
Leave soft-start plugged into back of amp
Unplug power supply from back of soft-start
We are discussing production of a new design which allows full use of the on/off button on the amplifier while the soft-start is in-line with power and the amp. Unfortunately, this design did not work as expected - and we don't know for sure if the newer design will ever be made! Also, if you received your unit before April 2010, please apply the 470uF/35v capacitor fix as described in the forums. You're on your own to do this!
We are offering this unit FREE (+ shipping) to original owners of Virtue ONE/TWO amps. Use coupon code: V1V2SOFTSTART at checkout. If you bought your amp used, thank you for supporting us by buying this unit at full price.
This soft-start circuit, when placed between the power supply and the amplifier, protects the power switch from high current turn-on rush as well as extending the life of the amplifier overall. It is rated up to 15A @ 30V, proportionally less current at higher voltages up to 70V.
