Setup 12V trigger for B&W DS7

I need help on setup dipoles on DS7 (spec as 12V trigger current requirement 45mA). I do have 12V trigger on Denon AVR-3805(DC 12V 25mA max). How can I hookup DS7 on 12V of Denon? If I have processor like sunfire grand theature II has 12V trigger, how can I setup? What cable should I use now?

Usually, it is a simple 3.5 mm male plug to 3.5 mm male plug cable. Just connect the cables as a daisy chain, from one component to the other.
I suggest that you read the Denon receiver manual, to find out exactly what kind of cable.

Hi Sanjose
The correct setup is a long male to male 3.5 mm cable, connected between receiver Remote OUT and woofer Remote trigger IN.
The trigger connection on the DS7 is certainly not a speaker connection. The industry-standard for remote trigger connection is 12V DC, not AC as in speaker cables.
Do not worry about the mA ratings, it will work.
